G1 Android Review
Posted by David WhitehouseI am typing out this review on my new G1, which I love. I’ve got one or two gripes, but on the whole it is by far the best phone I have ever owned.
So I’ve taken advantage of the Android marketplace and installed:
- WPtogo – allowing me to post to my wordpress blogs fom my phone
- Skype – allowing me to phone my girlfriend in Thailand for the cost of a local rate call
- some compass application
- a flashlight application
- MyTracks by Google – allowing me to track my bike rides
- Twidroid – so I can use Twitter
- A Facebook app
- and more!
I can also use gmail, browse the web, check out youtube, check my Google Calendar, Sync my Google Contacts and use Google Talk.
So I think I would give this phone 9/10 – far better than any htc phone I have ever owned!
Using Twitter to keep up to speed
Posted by David WhitehouseTwitter is amazingly fast when it comes to reporting major World events, examples include the Mumbai terrorist attack and when Lance Armstrong fell of his bike and broke his collar bone. Both examples resulted in the larger part of the Twitter community finding out before the media could report on it – it really is revolutionary.
If you want to keep an eye on what is happening on Twitter now, then I suggest you check out Twitscoop.
Twitscoop allows you to view all of the most popular keyphrases on Twitter in real time, so if something big happens you will know before the media can report about it. And because people can update Twitter from their mobiles it means you have a major insight into people’s minds all over the World!
Check it out, its amazing!
For an SEO specialist, such as myself – Twitter opens a whole new World for keeping up-to-date with fast moving trends so they can be taken advantage of immediately – I imagine it is the same for journalists.
