A few days ago, a coworker stopped by my desk and dropped off an LG G Watch to play with for a few weeks. It’s known around the office that I love my Pebble, but I’d also mentioned that I’d like to check out Android Wear at some point as well. Now that I’ve hadContinue reading “LG G Watch First Impressions”

Wednesday Watch: A Year Of The Selfie
One of the things that today’s mobile consumer is known for is the selfie. This is a photo taken of yourself, usually using the front-facing camera on your cellphone. There are variations of the selfie, usually based on the facial expression that one is making in the ‘selfie’. For the past year, I’ve been usingContinue reading “Wednesday Watch: A Year Of The Selfie”
I Ditched Facebook’s Apps And It Is Awesome
A couple of months ago, I uninstalled the Facebook apps I had on my phone. It was only three – the actual Facebook app, the Messenger app, and the Pages Manager app. And it was the best decision I’ve made in a while (at least pertaining to apps and whatnot). Here’s why: I primarily uninstalledContinue reading “I Ditched Facebook’s Apps And It Is Awesome”
My Android Homescreen Setup
One of the things that I love about the Android community is how much it reminds me of the old Symbian/S60 community. With such a customizable interface, everyone has a different setup, and everyone loves to share their setup with everyone else. Most of the time, this is with just plain old screenshots, but withContinue reading “My Android Homescreen Setup”
Why I Love Apex Launcher
If you’re using an Android phone without a 3rd party launcher, you’re completely missing out on the best that Android can offer. If you don’t know, a ‘launcher’ on Android is what powers your homescreens and your main app menu. New launchers can be installed easily, like an app, and can also be removed justContinue reading “Why I Love Apex Launcher”
A Week With The Samsung Galaxy S4
After tweeting that I was using a Samsung Galaxy S4, I had a handful of people ask that I put together my thoughts on the device, so here they are. Please note, this is not a review, just my thoughts. It’s not intended to be comprehensive or reflective of heavy personal use. My first SamsungContinue reading “A Week With The Samsung Galaxy S4”
Google LG Nexus 4 Unboxing And First Impressions
When the LG-built Google Nexus 4 was leaked, I was unimpressed. I’ve never really liked LG for…well….anything. Back in the day, they were known for making the absolute most crappy GSM handsets, mostly the uber-cheap freebie flip phones and such. However, they have, admittedly, been stepping up their game. When the spec’s and price wereContinue reading “Google LG Nexus 4 Unboxing And First Impressions”
First Impressions Of The Samsung Galaxy Nexus
About a month ago, my wife and I switched from T-Mobile to StraightTalk, based mainly on Kevin Tofel’s recommendation. More on that in a future post. Switching from T-Mobile to AT&T (through StraightTalk), we both needed new phones. I got Christina an iPhone 4 to hold her over until the next iPhone comes out, butContinue reading “First Impressions Of The Samsung Galaxy Nexus”
The HTC Blog Helps Make Sense Of Sense
The first Android phone that I got was the Nexus One, built by HTC for Google. However, I also got to play with an HTC DROID Eris for Verizon for a while, and I really fell in love with HTC’s Sense user interface. Over the years, they’ve been improving it quite a bit, and theContinue reading “The HTC Blog Helps Make Sense Of Sense”
Instagram Hits Android, Let The Phoneography Begin!
Ever since I had my Nokia 6620 so many years ago, I’ve been obsessed with phoneography (photography using phones). As I progressed from the 6620 to the 6682 to the N73 to my precious N95-3 and onwards, I’ve never really understood why ‘normobs’ would want to tote around a digital camera. Who needs another deviceContinue reading “Instagram Hits Android, Let The Phoneography Begin!”
