  1. If Enkin isn’t one of the missing 4 then an Android phone isn’t worth getting.

    But I’ll admit, lots of good apps there, except for the lack of GBA/SNES/MAME emulators.

  2. How about an android magazine ..Iphone have product support mags and new software support for it’s phone..

  3. Great idea…I agree.. Come on chaps. How about an Android mag???

  4. Yes, agreed. An Android magazine would really take off, I think and also engender more development of open source applications. I think we need to have one. Editors, can you seriously look into this please. — Thanks, Gaurav

  5. The G1 answers and info on the G1 are always good but sorry the look and feel of your website is very confusing! I know one need to make money with adverising but please redign…

    Sorry I really try not to say that but your site does have great info. Please let me know if I’m the only one complaining about that…

  6. Super List is an android based mobile/web to do list application used to record your tasks anywhere and anytime.

    You can choose to sync your tasks to our server and then you can work with them on our website by your laptop. Which means you can also write the list at home on our site by your computer if you do not like to type too much on a mobile device. And then get the entire list from server to your phone after leaving home.

  7. Just finding out a little bit more about android. Sounds superb. I am getting a new phone next week. Have always been a Windows Mobile user as OS for ever but considering seriously changing to a device with android as platform. The one thing that would define this: Is there a solid android APP at this moment that would reliably turn my device into a modem for my windows vista lap top to conect to the web? I have used an APP in a WM6.1 unlimited data plan 3G device that does that flawlessly without the carrier knowing. Could you please help me out and let me know if such an APP exists in android market? Regards from MEXICOOOO.

    Hi!. Thanks a bunch for the blog. I’ve been digging around looking some info up for shool, but there is so much out there. Yahoo lead me here – good for you i guess! Keep up the good work. I will be popping back over in a few days to see if there is updated posts.

    @Nes – I would totally get behind an Android magazine. There’s plenty of precedence with multiple mags for iPhone owners.

  10. Locale used to be a great application. It was a winner of the Google Dev Challenge.

    The devs then decided to charge an outrageous amount for it and force all users to upgrade to the paid version locking the settings in a state that couldn’t be changed if you refused. Greedy and thuggish.

    Alternatives are Settings Profiles and Timeriffic.
