App Review: Backgrounds by Stylem Media

Backgrounds is the best free background app out there I believe. With 8,000 different backgrounds in 50 categories it is very eay to find ones you like. I particularly like the fact that you can rotate your favorite backgrounds daily, every 12 hours, or hourly. Rotating backgrounds does use up some battery, but I have found its not that bad of a drain. Might as well go try Backgrounds by Stylem Media........Its free...why not?

App Review: Taskiller (FREE)

Taskiller(free) is great to have. It gives you the ability to kill programs that you aren't using. Which in turn makes it so your programs you want to run, run a lot smoother. It is easy to use and even has a simple desktop widget.There is also a feature that lets you select which programs to auto kill if you like. Check it out! It is a program I will always use for any device that I ever own. Simply free because there is one add at the top when you open the app by Adsense, not bothersome at all.

Motorola MT710 Ophone

We will probably only see this phone in pictures unless you go to China. With a 3.7 inch screen the Chinese will have no problem seeing their second Android phone that will be available very soon. This phone is slick and it has all this:

Marvell PXA310 Processor 624 MHz
RAM 256 MB Flash ROM 256 MB
480 x 854 (FWVGA) Resistive Touch Screen Display
5-Megapixel Camera with Flash (dual LED)
OPhone OS 1.5
CMMB mobile TV Multimedia
GSM 900/1800/1900 TD-SCDMA 2010/2025
3.5mm Headphone
WiFi, Bluetooth,
Ambient Light Sensor

Not too shabby for China Mobiles first Android phone.
Don't worry.... I'm sure Motorola has something better up its sleeve for the U.S. after the Droid starts losing steam.

There seems to be a Motorola phone that went through the FCC also....

Is this the XT800??? I have no idea. Would I get this phone?? Maybe.... if it was a phone going to T-mobile. Guess I am just stuck with the GOOGLE phone. Gosh didily darn(with a lot of sarcasm).

What is wrong with the game developers for Android?

First they say we are then they say we are not... then they screw their head on straight.
It is no secret that the Android platform is lacking 3d games. Gameloft was the most recent flipflopper on this subject. Its okay now though, they say they are going to continue making games for the next generation of Android devices. If by continue they mean that they will continue to port over their crappy iphone games then they can just run along and play somewhere else like they had stated.
I am wondering if maybe even Apple has its hands in trying to stop devs from porting their crappy iphone apps. who knows really, but why wouldnt you want to get into Android? Hellllooo! Google is huge and growing violently.
All in all I believe that there will be a lot of developers jumping on the Android bandwagon soon enough.

Nexus one rumors

So.... Whats the deal with the Nexus??? Apparently Boygeniusreport.com has been getting a lot of information and a few pics of the rumored official Google phone. We know the phone is real and that just about all the Google employees got the phone.

The Nexus one went through the FCC and people are speculating that the phone will go to T-Mobile or ATT or possibly both. My bets on T-mobile.

Rumors have been piling up all over the Androidsphere today that the phone will go for $199, I assume with a contract... but there was also a rumor of Google selling it on their website with a possible $100 off if you have been a Google customer(including gmail or other Google owned products).

There are a lot of happy people out there right now... especially T-mobile customers(yes I am one). I have been reading a lot of comments that people are ready to even ditch their iphones for this 1 ghz beast of a phone. I used to say that i would wait for a physical keyboard, but I think this phone just might change my mind after using the G1 for a year.

Bye the way... Google said they were not going to get into hardware manufacturing and they have not, HTC made the phone to Googles specification obviously because they wanted people to see what Android is capable of. SO... Is this the real G2 codenamed Nexus by HTC? It is the only phone that is worthy of being called the G2. Sorry UK... the Hero is not the real G2.

The Nexus1 will be mine.
