As a follow-up to What’s the best Android web browser? I posted last month, I think I have discovered the hands-down best web browser for Android, at least for the way I browse the web on my MyTouch 3G phone. I am not going to post screenshots for it, because I am too lazy to… Continue reading xScope web browser for Android

Read more at xScope web browser for Android IntroductionBrowser Coco Dolphin Opera Mini Steel Final Verdict Introduction I’ve heard from some Nexus users that they’re perfectly fine with the default Android web browser (called plainly Browser) because 1) their phones are so fast anyway they… Continue reading What’s the best Android web browser?
How else can Linux fail in the consumer space?
Many Linux advocates and Linux bashers still think the success or failure of Linux in the consumer (not server or embedded) space rests on technical merits. Implementation, marketing, pricing, inertia, vendor lock-in—no, of course, those have nothing to do with whether people decide on Linux as opposed to Windows or Mac OS X. Would it… Continue reading How else can Linux fail in the consumer space?
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with Android… Four months later
I already wrote T-Mobile MyTouch 3G First Impressions and A month with the MyTouch 3G and Android, but someone requested I write yet another follow-up post after having used the phone for a while. Well, it’s been almost four months, and I have to say that my general impression hasn’t changed much. I can sum… Continue reading T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with Android… Four months later
Annoying shutter noise in Android camera
When I first got my Android phone a few months ago, there was an option to turn off the annoying click noise that happened when you took a picture with the camera. With some recent updates to Donut from Cupcake (or maybe even some backported Eclair updates in the Cyanogen rooted mod—not sure), that option… Continue reading Annoying shutter noise in Android camera
Found a great theme for Cyanogen Android mod
After having rooted (or “jailbroken”) my T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, for a while I was using Cyanogen’s Android mod until it got the cease-and-desist letter from Google. At that point, Cyanogen began working on a legally conservative version of his mod, and I wanted something to use in the meantime, so I switched to Dwang’s donut… Continue reading Found a great theme for Cyanogen Android mod
A month with the MyTouch 3G and Android
I love my phone. I think it’s great, and I don’t regret purchasing it (though had I known Oprah was going to let me have $100 off the purchase price had I waited a few weeks, I probably would have waited). That said, I think T-Mobile did a lousy job launching this product. On the… Continue reading A month with the MyTouch 3G and Android
Why I’m not a fan of Google’s cease-and-desist letter to Cyanogen
Those of you who follow my blog or are Ubuntu Forums members may know that I often come to the defense of Google. There is a lot of Google-bashing out there. It seems to now be the cool thing to do. I almost laughed out loud when there were blog posts framing the Apple rejection… Continue reading Why I’m not a fan of Google’s cease-and-desist letter to Cyanogen
Apple App Store like MPAA?
After reading Apple’s FCC Response Infuriates Google Voice App Developer, I’m getting deja vu. Kirby Dick, you listening? (This Film Is Not Yet Rated). I guess with films people can at least view your movie without having to jailbreak their iPhones—though good luck trying to recup your production costs with an NC-17 or unrated movie…… Continue reading Apple App Store like MPAA?
Installing a rooted version of Android is easier than I thought it’d be
When a commenter suggested I “root” Android on my MyTouch 3G phone, I was hesitant to go ahead with it, because it sounded as if it might be complicated and result in a bricked phone. Then I saw this story in Google News: Five Great Reasons to Root Your Android Phone More importantly, I came… Continue reading Installing a rooted version of Android is easier than I thought it’d be
