Simon Says…

Open Android Team Gains Momentum! You know I'm a big fan of a community where everyone can work together as one big happy family sharing code and applications.  We'll I'm glad to report that the momentum is moving in the right direction and people are talking.  The idea that I originally placed in the minds of the community was a long time ago, but thanks to Chris Soyars for taking the first step with the developers, OpenEclair has gained momentum and is moving forward with WesGarner and BenBuchacher. Now we have the first Open Android Team, an OpenAndroidTeam twitter account and the ...

Trimble Outdoors v4.0.4 Review

Sunday, January 31st, 2010
trimble

Application Review By Eddie Koulak You like outdoors? Maybe mountain biking, hiking, or exploring a trail in the woods? I love the outdoors and if I don’t know my way around a new trail I need a GPS to guide me. I also love to snap photos and shoot occasional videos for memory’s sake. I also need a phone “just in case”. When the hike is a long one you probably want to pack light, but to do all of the above the traditional way you need a lot of gadgets. The problem is that’s just too many fragile things to ...

App review: SMSAwake v1.1.0 by Andrew Schwimmer

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

SMSAwake is a 4 star Android application by Andrew Schwimmer. He is also responsible for other quality apps like SaveMMS and HideNSeek ( you know you all have that one ;) ). SMSAwake is not a program that you run. Meaning you just download and install it and it does it's thing. That thing being, when you receive an SMS message, the app will cause your phone's screen to light up for 5 seconds. This app can be very handy if you are running your phone in silent mode, you have trouble hearing your notifications or when your phone is ...
