Nexus One, The Movie Star

The Nexus One, the Google phone running Android. Sometimes hailed as the best Android phone. Google plans to make you better acquainted with the phone, launching a series of videos giving in-depth information about the making of this phone.

I knew about the first few videos of the series and I wasn't too interested, but their "Testing" video here got me intrigued. I am not sure if this is actually what goes on, but it seems like Google and HTC really wanted to make this a high quality phone not just software-wise, but hardware as well. Throughout the video you can see Nexus Ones' being mistreated.

Google, give one to me and I'll test it for you. Seriously.

I Like Zune HD Rumors

As an owner and fan of Zune, it's always fun to see rumors about them. Zuneboards posted some rumors that are certainly interesting.

Zune HD v2 

- tegra 2
- more storage
- more colors

Zune Spring Update

- more integration with Xbox Live
- Zune Video Pass
- Facebook
- Xvid support


There are an endless whirl of rumors concerning Windows Mobile 7. Engadget summarized up some strong rumors.

- Zune-like interface (I love that interface)
- revamped start screen: "very clean"/"soulful"/"alive"
- no multitask (blasphemy)
- no flash support out of the box
- full integration with Zune, Xbox Live
- social networking (that's right you Facebook/Twitter freaks)

In With The New

As cell phones get more advanced, we are moving away into a new world, a new era of smartphones. The arrival of Android, promised Windows Mobile 7, iPhone OS, webOS, Maemo, Symbian, and other operating systems are bringing improvement after improvement. I feel the need for a new phone!

It's been a great few weeks for phones. I'll make a little list...

- Sense interface comes to HTC Magic! Clicky
- Firefox, the popular web browser comes to Maemo! Clicky
- Nokia n97 gets improved calling, improved scrolling, and more! Clicky
- Nexus One with multitouch, Google Goggles, more? Clicky
- iPhone/iPod Touch 3.1.3 out! Clicky

Have fun, and always feel free to donate a phone or two to me. It's no problem.  :)

For free, why not?

Nokia's navigation system for their phones, Ovi Maps has been updated and is available for free. Free stuff is always cool, like the racing game they've created. Any map, choose a car, let's go riding.

They are over 1.4 million downloads already since the update. This apparently translates into "a download per second, 24 hours a day."

It's been...

 ...a boring day at school.

Let's talk Lockerz. To be short and sweet (although in life I'm moderately tall and sweet), it's a site where you collect up points by logging in and answering daily questions. Eventually, you'll have enough points to redeem for some prizes, and this is all for real. However, you can only join if invited by a member.

My homies have solved that problem for those of you interested. They've got a new site up here and will invite you so you can get started on your point gathering.

My favourite part about Lockerz is the question answering. Allow your imagination to run wild.
