There was an important meeting today I needed to attened & it usually takes more than one hour drive to get to the destination. Therefore, I planned to leave an hour earlier to avoid the traffic.
2:00 am I was still up. As usual, I turned on favorite podcast trying to sleep to it.
4:00 am after a few episodes I was still wide awake. I popped open my phone and started browsing apps on the Android market.
I came across an interesting app called the "White Noise." Basically it comes with different sounds like rain, thunder, tide, and there was a sound which you hear while on board on an air plane. One by one, I tried them all. I liked the airplane one, but it's glitched with a high pitch noise in the loop... so essentially every several seconds I'd hear a "beep" ughhhhh, I switched it off and turned on another pod cast.
5:00 am I woke up and said "fuck this" I ended up driving to the place 5 hours before the meeting time and slept in the parking lot.
Verizon came out with an ad suggesting their new Motorola phone "droid" will be the iphone killer saying thing like idont this and idont that. This seems to me more of an AD marketed toward geeks like me. An average phone user wouldn't care if a phone runs "multiple apps" or has "widgets"... or is "open source" ... LOL. Although I do hear quite some iphone users already want to make the switch, I am still not sure if this is a smart move by Verizon because negative ads may give iphone users more resistance to try other products... there are quite some apple fanboys out there. I am an apple product user myself ...eventho I also use an Android phone. While they're kicking the crap out of each other, the most benefited out of this is us the consumers. We can just all sit back and laugh our ass off :D
Being an android phone user. I can tell you that the android platform is just coming out of it's infant stage. It's getting more robust, fast, and reliable. It did not even have multi-touch a few month ago because apple threatened everyone else with a lawsuit if one were to come out with a multi-touch phone it patented. What's funny is that Nokia did not take shit from apple and went ahead and sued apple for 10 fundamental mobile technology infringements. Back then android always had multi-touch, but just hid the multi-touch and kindda just let Nokia and Apple get anal at eachother. To make a long story short, they found out Apple's multi-touch patent was not valid since Apple didn't really invent the technology and multi-touch was debuted way earlier by some other individuals. So now multi-touch functionality is on Android since 1.6 build (cupcake) The newer and even better Android 2.0 just came out this week. Soon there is gonna be an app boom on Android. Talking about apps, apps on android still need some work. We got very few quality apps on the platform, but then again it's such a new os. I am 500% sure once more and more Android phones come out, android will grab onto quite some market share in the mobile industry. This is already attracting many developers to make apps for Adroid :)
