My Life With The Nexus One (or, How I Became a Rabid Android Fanboy)
It was almost like Christmas, and I was an 8 year old boy again. Only it wasn’t Christmas and this wasn’t a puppy I had found under the tree. It was just after Valentines Day and this was a brown cardboard box in my hands. This brown box was a gift from The Greatest Girlfriend [...]

Android Outselling iPhone in Midwest
Collectively, Android handsets appear to be outselling the iPhone in the Midwest. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as AT&T’s 3G coverage is practically non-existent out that way. Verizon, on the other hand, has plenty of coverage for their Droid customers. Sprinkle in some Sprint handsets and it’s easy to see how Android [...]

Non-Google Android Languishes in Obscurity
So I have several G1’s, a myTouch 3G, two Motorola Droid’s, and just one Archos 5 Internet Tablet. While, certainly no expert, I have been using Android the week the G1 was released and was following it before it was a Google acquisition and the only device that I have chosen to not keep is [...]

Is it Really Worth Putting Android on a Netbook?
While the tech-addict in me would love to own and play with an Android based netbook, the question must be asked:Â Does an Android netbook make much sense?
Now before you go blasting me out of the water, (which I admit, may be deserved), take a look at the netbooks that are available right now for [...]

Eating My Words Never Tasted so Good!
