Well Damn.

R.I.P. my computer…
Its been six long years and we’ve been through a lot.
Thousands and thousands of photos of cars, hours and hours of web design, well over 10,000 YouTube videos, and now its all gone.
I’m pretty sure its my hard drive, my computer turns on but that familiar little beep is not there and no movement from my hard drive then it turns off right away.
I just hope when I do get a new computer all my shit on my hard drive can be saved somehow.
And as for now, its my trusty HTC magic and my ipod touch.

Droid clobbers other Android phones in Xmas app downloads

Droid-v-Others-Downloads1On Christmas Day, the number of Android app downloads from the new Droid phones roughly equaled the number of downloads from all leading Android phones combined, according to the latest report from app market analysts Flurry.

T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G and G1, and the HTC Hero sold by Sprint, totaled roughly as many apps as those downloaded the Verizon/Motorola Droid phones on December 25.

Is this the new landscape, or was it just a one-day fluke? Flurry’s head of marketing, Peter Farago, emailed in response: “In our estimation, Droid numbers will continue to drive a larger share of downloads for the foreseable future until another Android handset can displace its position as the fastest-selling Android phone. Also, we have to remember that this is the most marketed Android phone to date, and on Verizon, which has 70 million subscribers.”

Still, Apple’s App Store continues to dominate the app market. iPhone and iPod Touch users downloads thirteen times as many apps in December as all Android phone users combined, Flurry says. And Apple’s December download volume will be 51 percent higher than November’s, if Flurry’s calculations are correct. By contrast, Android Market downloads only increased 22 percent from November to December.

So while the Droid is the hotter phone right now in terms of buzz, the numbers point to Apple’s continuing dominance of the app world going into 2010.

Zip tie love.

So I had a little run in with a snow bank the other weekend, and normally that would not be a bad thing but this snow bank decided it wanted to hide a curb under it.

Just the front bumper of my 25rs hit breaking the bumper skin on the lower half. So like a true drifter I bought 100 multi coloured zip ties and put it back together.

Google's Nexus One Caught on Video (A Few Times)

Can’t get enough of the new Google branded Nexus One? Here is some information that was obtained by the guys over at TheseAreTheDroids.

• Proximity Sensor/Light Sensor: Capella CM3602 per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Accelerometer: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Magnetic Compass:  AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor/AK8973 Orientation sensor per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Wifi Radio / Bluetooth / FM: BCM4329 in lib/modules
• In libaudio.so I found “Routing audio to Speakerphone with back mic” reference.
• In libaudio.so I found “Stereo FM speaker” also referenced.
• Audience A1026 Noise Canceling Chip – No link but here is the A1024 found in libaudio.so
• Qualcomm QSD8K Specific hardware libs in lib/hw (QSD8250 Probably)
• Adreno 200 Graphics Core with OpenGLES 2.0 – Part of Snapdragon?
• Camera Info Vague, found some references to auto focus, flash, white balance and anti-banding in libcamera.so

But the disappointing part, there was NO Snapdragon Specific Libraries found. Hopefully, they are wrong and this phone will be sporting the mighty Qualquamm Snapdragon processor we’ve all been dreaming about in our sleep.

Google's Nexus Android Version Taking a Cue From Palm's webOS?

All the news about Google Nexus the last couple of days (including us today) have caused quite a stir. Our own post of the forthcoming Nexus coming to T-Mobile in January and this WSJ article which states Google may release the device without a carrier partner, said the WSJ, are “people familiar with the matter”, have taken over the interwebs news feeds.

All the speculations and rumors may be very true, but an interesting tidbit of information was sitting right there in front of our eyes courtesy of some photos posted on Engadget of the Nexus One. The photo 11 of 11 seemed vaguely familiar to us in a strange way. The picture shows the Android OS with some sort of  “card view”, which is eerily similar to Palm’s webOS.

I applaud the additional feature, if that’s what this really is; a “card view” like ability with live applications running in the background. While this was a breakthrough feature from Palm’s webOS to bring life-like, desktop like computing to a handset, it is reasonable to question if this is a legal infringement on the part of Google’s next Android release to “simulate” the card view experience currently enjoyed by many Palm Pre and Pixi owners.

It’s not like there aren’t any patent infringement lawsuits happening between other manufactures, right?

The Google Phone, Unlocked (Confirmed And More Details)

Last night, we started seeing some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an “all hands” meeting. Now Google is confirming that it is indeed “dogfood” testing a new Android device with employees around the world.

But this isn’t just another Android phone. Very trustworthy sources who have seen the phone say that it is the Google Phone we first wrote about last month (despite the uninformed saying we were dreaming). It will be branded Google and sold by Google as an unlocked phone, which could change everything. As we wrote in our original post:

Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba).

There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.

The phone itself is being built by HTC, with a lot of input from Google. It seems to be a tailored version of the HTC Passion or the related HD2 [...]

Here are the details we know so far about the phone: It will be called the Google Phone (update the official name is “Nexus One”) and will launch in early January, 2010. It won’t be sold by any one carrier, but instead will be an unlocked GSM phone. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and possibly AT&T, whose exclusivity deal with the iPhone is about to run out. It will be running Android 2.1

The phone is “really, really fast,” says someone who has seen one in action. It runs on a Snapdragon chip, has a super high-resolution OLED touchscreen, is thinner than the iPhone, has no keyboard, and two mics. The mic on the back of the phone helps eliminate background noise, and it also has a “weirdly” large camera for a phone. And if you don’t like the touchscreen keyboard, a voice-to-text feature is supposed to let you dictate emails and notes by speaking directly into the phone.

Google Maps for Windows Mobile 3.3.1 supports HTC HD2’s digital compass

Google Maps for Windows Mobile was recently updated to 3.3.1 which solved a Layers issue that caused the phone to crash. Besides solving the Layers issue, it turns out that it also brought support for HTC HD2’s digital compass. Yes, that’s right now you can use the digital compass on your Google Maps app for Windows Mobile.

The location dot changes into a blue arrow when you are in the My location mode. If you don’t see that happening, you may try walking and turning around a bit to initiate the digital compass.

The digital compass works only in My Location mode. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in combination with GPS, and you need to have GPS turned off in order for the compass functionality to work properly. With GPS turned on, the arrow always point to north. Still great news.

Which is better, the HTC Touch Pro2, Or the Droid?

Question:
I have been looking for a new phone, and I went to a Verizon store, but it did not have a lot of specs for either of them. They both look about the same to me, which one do you think I should get? I know the Droid has a better camera, and that awesome barcode thing, but besides that, nothing much.
Answer:
I had one for almost 2 months. The TP2 has the best key pad available on a cell but this makes it bulky. The screen is plastic not glass like the DROID which in turn can get scratch easily. Its has all the applications you may need pre-installed like office sweet. I love the way it did MMS's and how quick you can type on it. Unfortunately I had to return it cause the housing was getting loose and took more than a month to get a replacement and when I did get the replacement the phone would not activate and was very lagy. That when Verizon just offer me the DROID which I love. Its quick and can be customizable to your liking. The app store is good but should be great soon. If you like a phone ready to go from the gecko then go with the TP2 its a great device but make sure you get a screen protector. If you have any more questions just contact me.
