Netflix comes to Android
For the last year and a half, I have been a big fan of Netflix and their streaming service. Slowly Netflix added devices that could support their services, from consoles like the Wii, XBox360 and the PS3 to the iPad to mobile devices including the iPhone and Windows Phone 7. Finally, Android has been added to the list of devices that can stream movies and television programs and can be downloaded from the Android Market.
Must Have Apps For the HTC Thunderbolt
The HTC Thunderbolt is the latest Android phone from HTC and the first Droid phone on Verizon Wireless to access the 4G LTE high speed network. In addition to being the fastest phone, it has a hi-res 4.3″ screen with DLNA, which will allow the user to move movies, music and photos from the phone’s screen to a compatible flatscreen. Of course, all these great services are nothing without good apps to take advantage of them.
The End of the Flipcam
In March of 2009, Cisco bought Pure Digital, makers of the Flipcam, for $590 million dollars. The Flipcam was the most popular hand held HD camcorder on the market when it was purchased. This week, Cisco decided to kill the Flipcam entirely.
Review: Griffin TuneJuice
At SXSW, I attended the Groupon brunch at the Iron Cactus. Some of the attendees, myself included, received a Griffin TuneJuice portable iPhone charger as gifts for coming to the brunch.
Review: Motorola Xoom
On the Chevy SXSW Road Trip, Verizon Wireless was kind enough to sponsor us with a Motorola Xoom. From New York to Texas and back, the Xoom was our traveling companion and connection to the wider world as we traveled the highways and byways of the eastern half of the United States.
The New Android Marketplace
This week, Google had their latest round of Android announcements this week and coming out of it came two major products. The first was Google’s Android OS 3.0 for tablets, code named Honeycomb. The second is Android’s new web based market to compliment its phone based market, but does the new market bring on par with Apple’s iTunes store?
Games for the Droid
Everyone carries their cellphones wherever they go and with the high resolution on the screens of the Motorola Droid, Droid 2, Droid X and other Android phones make for a potential gaming platform to rival the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and other handheld gaming platforms. When there’s downtime, it’s the perfect time to reach for your phone and play a game, and these are some of the best available for the Droid phones.
Must Have Apps For the Droid Pro
The latest Motorola Droid to join the Android lineup is the Droid Pro. The Blackberry like design with the physical keyboard mixed with the multi-touch 3.1″ screen like the other Droid phones have. And just like the other Droid phones, the Droid Pro needs apps to truly expand the uses of the phone. These are some of the most useful apps to be used with the new phone.
Review: Motorola Finiti
Each year, the technology advances and the companies release the next iteration of their technology. With the driving laws requiring headsets when driving, it’s important to have a good bluetooth headset. The Finiti is the latest bluetooth headset from Motorola, which incorporates the latest in Motorola’s Motospeak and CrystalTalk technologies.
One Click Rooting, Screenshots and Free Wifi Tethering for the Droid
I previously wrote about how to root the Droid, but since then, there have been updates to the Android operating system, which would require you to install updates, which may have caused the Droid to be unrooted or simply a new phone which was not rooted back then. Since that time, it has become a very simple, one click process to root the phone and add features not normally part of the Android OS.
