The Motorola Droid – running OS Android 2.0 (aka Eclair)

The Motorola Droid is here!  Operating System Eclair (Android 2.0)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29

I used to wish I could buy an iPhone and use it on the Verizon network. Not anymore. Now that I own the Droid, I’m not giving it up.

Touch screen, 2 virtual keyboards, 1 real qwerty keyboard, open source software development, the android marketplace, instant messaging, text messaging, mms, sms, a 3G Motorola cell phone with a 16 mb removable sd card, removable lithium battery, on screen zoom, Google syncronization of contacts and calander, multitasking, internet browsing, headphone jack, bluetooth, gps with Google navigation, cutomizable ringtones with vibrate, silent mode, games, incredile screen resolution, 5MB camera, video camera…well I can’t think of anymore but I will add them later.

Right now I am learning how to post from my portable application called wptogo. This application is written to be compatible with Eclaire 2.0 on my Motorola Droid phone. So far it is working flawlessly and if you use WordPress I think you will be happy with it. It is not a complicated application, it has few, not many functions, and it does the job…posts text!

One big plus I want to point out is that the voice activated navigation feature is awesome. Say…navigate to walmart, anyville, state and it will popup with multiple locations and you just click, and then it will immediately find the route by gps, then gives turn by turn directions by GOOGLE maps. LOVE IT!

If you have any questions how to setup wptogo you can contact the developer on his site. But I haven’t had any problems with my setup or using it on the Verizon network so far. Any feedback on this topic I encourage and I will forward to the developer.

The U.S. Saves Its Own Economy?

The United States Saves Its Own Economy?

  • What if every church congregation, Rotary, Moose, Elks, or Amvets (not for profits) group of 100 members had a plan to help someone out in their group keep a job during these difficult times?
  • What if each member donated $5 dollars per week to their church or organization and this allowed someone to still have a job…until unemployment kicked in, until they found a new job, or after their unemployment ran out?
  • This job paid 500 dollars a week, was taxed, but still allowed that person to contribute to their social security?
  • What if you needed this job, so you just went to your pastor or board at the church and asked for help?

Maybe this job wasn’t permanent, but, just lasted until unemployment dropped below 9%?
