Everyone always says that the iPhone “just works.” Well, right now my android “isn’t working.” Some of it is probably related to the provider (Virgin Mobile) and some of it is probably related to the Samsung hardware. My screen isn’t rotating properly. Sometimes I have to wait more than 10 seconds for it to rotate…

Travel gadget: Honey Nook
I’ve fallen behind on my class reading. Reading from a laptop on a plane is pretty far from my idea of fun, but I still wasn’t too keen on getting an iPad (due to my refusal to use apple products) or a plain old eReader. Let’s face it, I’m not a reader and since that’s…
Android Travel App Review: Pageonce Travel
Does anyone know much about it? I just installed it and I’m very underwhelmed with it compared to TripIt. Sure Pageonce will update you if something happens to your flight, but I think I will have to manually enter a lot of flights. With TripIt I have my travel agent’s site set up to automatically…
Android App Review: AndroTweet vs Twidroid
*****Twidroid has since changed name to Twidroyd***** Back when I had hacked Android running on my WinMo phone I loved how functional Twidroid was compared to whatever I was using with WinMo. When I got my backflip for some reason I decided to go with AndroTweet instead. It is functional, but this weekend when I…
Android App Review: TripIt
I’ve been using this app for the past few trips to try to really get a feel for it. There are 2 versions of TripIt. This will cover the free version, not the Pro version (which is $69/year and automatically tracks flights, suggests alternate routes, and tracks points) since I have a travel agent. I…
Android app review: PdaNet
PdaNet is an application which allows “tethering” the cell data connection to a computer. This means while you are waiting for a flight at the airport you can use the internet on your laptop without paying the day pass rates as long as you have cell reception. The speed depends on whether you have 3G…
Android Review: Foursquare
I’ll start my review of Android apps that help travelers with Foursquare. I’m not really all that keen on the whole concept of Foursquare, but it has been fun for a bit. The whole premise is that you use a GPS enabled phone such as an iPhone, Blackberry, Android, or even WinMo and check in…
motorola backflip
The phone I decided on was the motorola backflip. I have been downloading various travel applications for Android and I’ll be posting reviews of them Any suggestions?
Trying to have my cake and eat it too
I’m a bit of a contrarian so when I moved from Verizon to AT&T a year ago I didn’t want an iPhone. I thought about a blackberry but thought since my company didn’t have a blackberry server I wouldn’t be able to sync with exchange like I would with a Windows Mobile device. Well it…
