Motorola Developes a Droid Phone - and I actually want it

Posted Thu, 10/29/2009 - 10:41 by Isaac

Its been a while since there was a Motorola phone that I wanted to buy but this new Droid phone is very impressive. Google's Android mobile phone OS is exciting to watch but the reviews of previous phones running it were lack luster. Most did not have the processing power to run Android effectively or lacked creative design.

That seems to have changed with the Motorola Droid. The early reviews sound great and some of the features that Motorola has come up with have really improved on Google's OS. The asking price is only $199 on Verison. Read more

  • Dynamic URL - example.com/detail?id=31

Good morning to you too Google. You had me for just a second with your timely midnight release of the CADIE project. At least it was fairly obvious and I didn't have to read 1500 words to get the joke. Of course this late of night and I am fairly easy to fool. Read more

I have had a Grand Central number for about 2 years but I will confess that I never did much with it. I was always too afraid that the service might fail and I would loose my number. Well, with Google taking over I figured that it was now safe. I will continue to test and mark any tips or issues that I face with the service. Read more

  • Love the added memory and faster processor

I See Double People - Google Contact Sync Has Issues

Posted Sat, 01/24/2009 - 19:00 by Isaac

Nothing short of seeing Dead People brings chills like an address book full of duplicate entries. It was so exciting to see that Google had added address boook / contact list sync to their existing mobile calendar sync tool for the Blackberry. But as this title suggests, I have had some issues.
