Google’s Chrome to Phone simplifies communication from desktop to phone

by

The second announcement from Google’s press conference today in San Francisco is slightly less exciting than the updates to its Android voice commands but still worth mentioning.

What am I Running on my HD2?

by

RemoteDroid: Transform your Android phone into a sleek wireless touchpad

For a streamlined wireless mouse and keyboard solution, Remote Droid is remarkably user-friendly. I had fairly low expectations because my experience with apps like these has been less than stellar, but this open-source, cross-platform wireless touchpad hits it out of the park.

What I’m running/Why I’m upgrading

by

So yeah.  I’m sort of ashamed.  Like that guy on the right.  Not because my Fuze is Windows Mobile, but because everything is so outdated.  The Fuze is more than capable of doing just about everything any newer smart phone can do, short of its own hardware limits but 2.8″ of VGA resolution is making me feel inadequate.  Anyway, enough hardware talk.  You guys know that end.  Let’s get started on the software.  Rom first.

I flash like a drunk whore at Mardi Gras but I really like the WMPoweruser roms for stability.  Energy crashes all the freaking time for me, even with no additional apps.  Ever since they got rid of the VGA test devices the Fuze Roms sort of blow.  Preinstalled apps are great but I’d rather have a clean ROM because I keep all my apps local on my SD card.  Oh and I have 6 different UI’s on my phone as of now.  I had winterface but that sucks nuts.  No one wants an iPhone.  App List and Developer Links after the break!

Under the Hood

by
I’m not sure if everyone is holding to the schedule, but August 3rd is my day to post my list of actively used apps (based on Doug Simmons’ clever idea for Mobility Digest’s writers to reveal what they’re running). I’ve got the AT&T version of the Nexus One, running Android 2.2, otherwise known as Froyo. I’ve installed and then uninstalled a fair amount of apps, but the ones listed below have made the cut. For now. Everything I’ve listed is free. I have yet to pay for an app because I haven’t needed to. Most of the links are Android Market links but a few I had to wing. I have to mention that this phone is hands-down the sleekest, most powerful, and easiest-to-use phone I’ve ever owned. Acquiring these apps was no more difficult than browsing around the Anrdoid Market, reading reviews, and taking a few chances.
