T-Mobile Failed on HTC Hero
Jul 1st
I would like to write a story About Android Phones, I would like to add into the mix HTC and then add some finely chopped T-Mobile to that mix with the idea to come out with the HTC Hero running Android 2.1 with all the trimmings and also easy enough for a normal customer to complete right? Without ruining the story, if it was possible to go back in time – I would be sitting here right now with an iPhone 3GS - yes you heard that right….
Fanboys
Apr 19th
It is a well worn subject of the Mac vs. The PC (They mean windows right), we have Xbox360 vs. PS3, iPhone vs. Android and the list goes on. While there is a need to think what you have or what choice you make on buying something matters, the reality is the people who are making the stuff are lining there pockets with the money the Fan boys spend on this gear they think is so wonderful. I aim to discuss what I think the reason this all comes about and to dispel some myth’s along the way if I can.

In the world of Apple with the iPhone, the same company sells you the phones as the one making the operating system but in the world of Android – One company makes the phones, another writes most of the OS, another bolt on a GUI and finally the Phone operators add there little bit to the phone – we have in fact Fragmentation.
HTC Hero Update – WHEN???
Mar 12th
I have been waiting for this so called update to Android 2.1 for what seems like ever now, each time they set a date and then come up with some excuse such as having to bolt Sense UI on there, add in the Carrier special parts and so forth. Today I choose to get on the phone and find out when this was really coming out, after all I am a paying customer right?

What do you really need out of a Mobile Phone?
Jan 13th
No Matter were you look these days there is no end of choice of touch screen, full blown wireless and always on connectivity along with touch screens putting you online and far exceeding the basic idea of a mobile phone (that is to call people) but has anyone stopped and thought “What do I really need out of this device?”
Not All Androids are equal
Jan 6th
I own in case you do not know the HTC Hero G2 Touch, not to be confused with the HD2 Touch which is a Windows Mobile device running android on top.
I kept hearing reports, mainly from the live streams (USA Bound) that these Android do not support multi touch and a whole raft of issues but here I was sitting with a phone that does multi-touch as good as the iphone. The Windows Mobile with Android bolted on had facebook but the application looked different from the one sitting on my phone (mine was better).
The HD2 Touch was a lot bigger, not as glossy as HTC Hero and had a camera that stuck out – it was a better camera then mine (same Megapixel) but at the expense of design. So basically – not all Android phones or devices are the same and do not assume reviewing one device makes them the same as the next.
Living with the Android
Dec 16th
I have now owned and used the HTC Hero G2 Touch for a couple of months now and felt it was time to spill the beans on both the good and bad side of this phone. A lot of people will happily ignore the bad points on some reviews as they are now locked into a long contract but I do not believe in hiding the things that should just work.
