Droid - First Day

Old W755 and the new Droid

What is in the blurry picture to the left is my old Motorola W755 cell phone and my new Motorola Droid.  In the past several months I had pretty much ignored my W755.  As a phone it was decent enough.  However when I wasn’t in a location where I could be reached via a land line I was often conversing with people via IM or Facebook more than phone.  So when our contract with Verizon was up and they bribed us with new free phones I look more towards the smart phones than a replacement simple phone.  I decided to get a Droid partly because of the geek factor but largely because it had the latest Android OS and a hardware keyboard.  My wife also got one because it was Buy-One-Get-One free even though she was eying the Blackberry Curve (because it was lavender!).

It arrived yesterday.  I was expecting for it to be a fun little gadget but in the first 24 hours it has completely blown away any expectations I had for it.  Here’s a short list of things I’ve done since getting it activated (which was a chore, but not because of the phone).

  1. Configured it so that it uses my WiFi for data when in the house.  Even though we have unlimited data on the phone this provides a nice speed boost.
  2. Downloaded an App for playing Pandora.  Within 10 minutes of activation I had Within Temptation streaming to my phone.  Nice!
  3. Set up my Facebook account with the built in app.  Found it to be quite nice and let my Facebook friends know the Droid was live.
  4. Played around with Google Maps and cackled with glee as the on-board GPS was identifying where I was inside my house.
  5. Found an app to measure the strengths of local WiFi signals.  Found out they are all on channel 6, including mine.  Which means pretty soon I’ll be bumping mine to 11.
  6. Configured built-in email app to use my personal email that I run.  Finally found a reason to allow SMTP time authentication.
  7. Imported all my contacts… from Facebook.  I only had to add a few numbers from my W755.
  8. Plugged my Droid into my Dell Mini.  Got it to be recognized as a USB drive by the Mini.  Copied Within Temptation’s “The Silent Force” onto my Droid.  Started playing it shortly thereafter.  Not too bad considering I ripped the CD to OGG and not MP3.  Take that, iPod Nano!
  9. Installed Seesmic, test tweeted, worked perfectly.
  10. VNCed into my Linux server and manipulated the torrents running there.
  11. Found an application, Layar, which tales GPS and tilt coordinates and overlays a layer on top of the picture from the camera.  This layer superimposes data from different sources.  The first one I checked?  Tweets with geoloc.  What I found?  My neighbor across the street and 3 houses down was looking for someone to split the cost of Carrie Underwood tickets.  She tweeted right about the time I had installed the app.

I am simply agog at all I have been able to do with this little machine.  It’s more a mini-computer that happens to be a phone.  The interface is quite intuitive and dead sexy.  The best part is that it replaces several pieces of gear.

  • While my wife’s Cannon PC1355 has better picture quality the camera in the Droid easily beats what my W755 had for on-the-spot quick pics where spontaneity is more important than quality.
  • Aside from DRM enabled tracks the Droid can replace my Nano.  Heck, it does Ogg which means I can dump all my duplicate MP3s.  While I am not happy that I can’t strip the DRM from the iTunes tracks I legally purchased I’d rather have to repurchase those tracks than have to forgo ripping to Ogg.
  • On-the-go Youtube & Pandora platform.  Be even better if Hulu and Netflix worked, too, but I ain’t complaining.
  • Facebook, Twitter, IM and email on-the-go.
  • Oh, and it’s a phone…

When we were going to order the phones my wife was worried that this would be as used as the W755.  I think it is safe to say with all it can do that the chances of that are quite low.  ;)

Google's Nexus 2?!? Already?!?

It seems that rumors of a sibling for the Google Nexus One, called Nexus Two, is more than likely to be the Motorola Shadow.

Last week, Motorola’s CEO had spilled the beans and confirmed that they were developing a new smartphone with Google. So it comes as no surprise that the Motorola Shadow, with its QWERTY keyboard and huge touchscreen, is the highly talked about Nexus Two.

Based on leaked images from a popular overseas forum, the Motorola Shadow is 9mm thick and equipped with a massive 4.3 inch touchscreen, with 750 x 484 pixels of hotness!!! The leaked images also show a HDMI port. BOOYA! Furthermore, sources speculate that it will come with an 8MP camera with the ability for video recording in 1080p. THANK YOU JESUS!

A quick look at the image of the Motorola Shadow shows a sliding QWERTY keypad, wrist-strap nook and white based cladding with touches of red trimming.

The operating system chosen is still not confirmed, but being the Google Nexus Two we would assume Android 2.1, and not Froyo as it is being suggested on a few forums. DUH!

Expect the Google Nexus Two, aka Motorola Shadow release date to be slated for March. And for those readers who are planning to browse the web for more information on the Shadow, I suggest you also try looking for it by its other name, the Motorola Mirage. Pure Heaven

AT&T Announces Availability of First Device on Android Platform with Motorola

HSPA 7.2 – Capable Motorola BACKFLIP Coming Soon to AT&T Stores Nationwide

Reserve Yours Today!

MOTOBLUR offers AT&T customers a new way to connect to their favorite people, content and applications, whether it’s work or personal email, messaging or social networking. Motorola’s exclusive Android™ experience syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more — from sources such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail, Picasa, work and personal e-mail, and Last.fm — and automatically delivers them to live widgets for immediate reply, right from the home screen. And, for customers who prefer multi-tasking, AT&T’s 3G network offers the added advantage of talking and surfing the Web and accessing applications at the same time.

BACKFLIP features a unique form-factor with an original reverse flip design, spacious keyboard and BACKTRACK™ touch panel, allowing the display to be hands-free while one’s fingers work behind the screen. BACKFLIP runs on the nation’s fastest 3G network and is powered by MOTOBLUR™, Motorola’s Android-powered content delivery service created to make phones more personal and socially smart. Customers can see photos and learn more at www.att.com/backflip.

“Motorola BACKFLIP brings together the best of social networking with the nation’s fastest 3G network,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “With the ability to ride on our newest and fastest 3G network, access to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, and the ability to talk and surf at the same time, BACKFLIP boasts a better Android experience.”

MOTOBLUR™
MOTOBLUR keeps track of contacts so it’s easy to keep up. Users can flip through messages and updates on the BACKFLIP and respond in a flash, without having to log in and out of applications. MOTOBLUR helps consumers keep a pulse on what’s happening on their social and news networks. Only MOTOBLUR can sync Facebook, MySpace and Twitter with phone book and email contacts, while threading status updates and profile pics through calls, messages and address book. From the home screen, consumers can update their status to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter at once.

Finally, MOTOBLUR provides users with simplicity and peace of mind, as lost devices can be located from a secure personal information portal and GPS can be used to locate them. One user name and password brings back a user’s contacts, messages and connectivity to previously configured networks and email providers.

”Motorola is proud to bring the first Android-powered device to AT&T’s 3G network,” said Mark Shockley, senior vice president, Motorola Mobile Devices. “AT&T customers will love the social media advantages MOTOBLUR offers as well as the innovative hardware design.”

BACKFLIP is the first Motorola device to feature the new and unique BACKTRACK™ feature which gives AT&T customers the ability to navigate quickly and easily through Web sites, menus and more with a touch panel located behind the screen when the device is folded open. BACKTRACK offers a new way to scroll through the Web, texts, e-mails and news feeds without obscuring the home screen. Flip the keyboard backwards into table-top mode to listen to music, watch videos, view pictures with the digital picture frame or to turn BACKFLIP into a digital, bedside alarm clock.

BACKFLIP comes with a full HTML browser that can be viewed on the 3.1” high-res, touch screen display and makes use of 7.2 HSPA 3G technology on the nation’s fastest 3G network. Android Market™ has access to more than 20,000 apps and widgets, in order to customize the device to fit each consumer’s personal style.

The Antichrist (with bible verses)

The Antichrist (with bible verses) Matthew 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered: "Watch out that noone deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. Matthew 24:23 And if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. Luke 21:27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. Matthew 24:3, Matthew 24:23, Matthew 24:26, Luke 21:7, Luke 21:24, Mark 13:21, 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 2:26, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 7:15, 2 Corinthian 11:4, 2 Corinthians 11:13, Galatians 2:4, 2 Thessalonian 2:1, Revelation 13:1
