The “Droid” review

There has been a lot of craze these days about the new phone “droid” well here is a imagereview that explains why its so popular.
The Droid by Motorola is a smart phone of this generation it can do a lot of things that normal phones simply can’t. Such as Google search by Voice, or a five Mega-Pixel camera built in and so on. Well its safe to say that some phones might be able to do this but those phones don’t exactly have everything Droid does.
Droid runs on Android (a operating system for your phone made by Google), it is a magnificent device sent out to kill the iPhone from the market and well till now its doing its job… 
Key Features:
  • 3.7 hi-res Touch screen
  • High speed Mobile Web Browsing
  • Is able to run Multiple apps
  • Google Search by voice
  • 5 MP camera with Flash
  • Tons of Apps including Facebook, Google Maps, You Tube, and Amazon MP3 Store
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS Navigation
  • MP3/4 player
  • 6hr 25min in Battery life stand by for 270hrs
  • Wi-Fi
The Battery life is fairly below average but other than that the Phones looks amazing! unless your the kind of person who likes to keep it simple. So how much is this going to cost you? Well $200 not counting the Data plan for about $30 a month.
In the end would you buy this phone or do you like keeping it simple and consider a phone a tool to call people? Please add a comment!

Introducing the Powermat

        One single device that can charge three of your devices with out a bunch of wires sounds good doesn't it? Well look here at the Powermat!
image
The Powermat is unique to its own kind it lets you charge three of your devices at once with out cables! all you have to do is put your device on the mat and boom! its charging! And don't worry if they are in a case because the Powermat can see threw that and still charge your device!
OK now lets say you want your iPod to look cool while its charging… well the nice Powermat people came up with a dock for your iPod!


imageThen again you have some devices like your Bluetooth headset or a PSP that just wont charge when you put them on your Powermat that's why they came up with this neat little device called the power cube which lets you charge them with a little cable!
The only problem that I found with this device is that you have to have the Powermat case to charge anything on the Powermat, so lets change the steps you take here- put the device in a case before you put it on the Powermat (don’t forget you have to buy the case first)
So at the end you have to buy the Powermat it self for a $100 then you have to buy the cases for your devices (right now it only supports blackberry's IPods and Nintendo DS’s) for $30-40 dollars each and if you want to buy the Powercube that's a extra $30. So my question- would you buy it?

What kind of E-mail do you use?

Well a lot of people are still using a type of email that is not suitable for them and they think that they cant change anything about it, this post is here to try and fix that problem.

First lets look at G-Mail:

G-Mail is a great E-mail browser you can do tons of things to customize your account and it really is not that hard! Using!image

When you look at a G-mail account you see all of your mail laid out in front of you which is the best part. All you have to do is log in and there you go you have all of your mail. You can customize your G-mail account to your preferences too! Change your theme over ten pre defined themes or make your own theme! G-mail is also safe it scans everything that comes into your mail so don't worry about getting infected by a virus(unless you use a Mac).  There is also a nice toolbox incase you want to help Google test out some new gadgets for G-Mail! its called Google Labs here you can find useful tools that you can add like widgets on to your G-Mail account to help you use your account better.

 

How about a Yahoo! account?

image

Yahoo is not better than G-mail but for a average person. Yahoo has a list of features that you can use built into your account so you can log in to Yahoo and find yourself doing more than just checking your mail. The major difference from Yahoo and G-mail and any other E-mail company is that Yahoo has a specific place for everything, to go to your mail you have to click a small tab somewhere on the page in other words it does not show your mail in the easiest way. Think about it Why do you have a E-mail account? to receive E-mails! Then why do you need to go to Yahoo!’s home page before you can actually see your mail? it really does not make sense to me. Beside that fact you can do just about anything on Yahoo like pick a color theme(you cant customize here only three colors to choose from) or get widgets on the side of your tab to help you use your email better. Safety is a priority here in Yahoo! MacAfee runs virus scans on e-mail sent out and received on your account, but this takes a longer time.

Windows Live/MSN/Hotmail….http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/LiveCom2.jpg

Beside the confusion on the name; Windows live(lets just call it Windows Live) is a good mail server too but still like yahoo it lacks some important stuff needed to easily access your account. The picture you see on the right is what you see when you log in to your account. once again you have to click “Mail” to get to your actual purpose on the site. Then again Microsoft took E-Mail to the next level by making Windows Live(or changing Hotmail to Windows live). When you hit the homepage you see a lot of useful things such as the weather and news(which is there in yahoo too). When you click the Mail button it takes you to a page where you see all of your mail put out in a simple fashion. which is easy to access. If you have a PC you have a advantage by a gadget built in to your Windows 7/Vista/XP called Windows Live mail. Here you can send out E-mail and receive it with out even having to get use your internet browser! Security is standard on Windows Live mail- that's the only part that I dislike because I don't want to open a inbox with tons of viruses in it!

 

P.S : Chat is standard on all these websites. The reason I picked these three websites is because they are the most know/popular.

The New Microsoft Store

Microsoft opened its brand new store in Arizona and California on October 22 of last month. Yeah we know what your thinking “So late…” but we decided letting the store show how its going so far and then talk about it.

california
The store is looking promising so far. I mean you can get help on your PCs, they can fix it up, and you can just relax and play with all the cool Microsoft products. What makes them more diverse that the Apple Store is the fact that they have the best selling consoles demographically sitting on there shelves. Not only that you can get help with it. So far they are looking promising. There are problems though, one is the business strategy. If you don't already the MICROSOFT STORE is right next to the APPLE STORE. I don't know what Microsoft has up there sleeves but they are taking risks.  I wish the best luck to Microsoft and hope they are fully committed to having a store, if they are doing this just to copy Apple then its even more risky.
Comment and tell us what you think is interesting. It gets better when people give there opinions. Thank you.

Hulu to charge customers for viewing video?

Well news is coming in from everywhere that Hulu is going to start charging customers to view at least some of the content on the website. Jonathan Miller spoke about this to the Hollywood reporter last week, we are not sure when Hulu might start to do this but It is most probably going to happen soon. So a heads up not to get too attached to all the free High-def content on Hulu. 
image
Well of course its too late for a lot of people who love Hulu for free content on there online TV shows. I personally think they should not do this because they are sure to loose a lot of business because people will start to hate Hulu for doing that.
The question:
Would you pay for the content on Hulu?
