T-Mobile G1 Review: Camera, Photos and Video Player

T-Mobile G1 Review: Camera, Photos and Video Player

Noah checks out the G1's camera and photo gallery apps, and downloads Video Player BETA. The G1 REALLY needs a good video player.
T-Mobile G1 Review: Phone and Ringtones

T-Mobile G1 Review: Phone and Ringtones

Forget all the bells and whistles - how is the G1 as a phone? Noah checks it out, and he also makes a custom ringtone using Ringdroid, a free app from the Android Market.

Android: What Happened to Ringdroid?

In response to several Emails we've received over the past day or two, here's what can I tell you re: The current state of the G1's Android Market and the super yummy "Ringdroid" app.  More soon, I hope ... Hello G1 Owners, A few of you have emailed to ask about the "Ringdroid" app that was featured in one of my videos.  I downloaded the app from the Android Market and used it to create a custom ringtone, as shown in the...
Flash 10 shows love for Linux

Flash 10 shows love for Linux

As I indicated in my post on Silverlight for Android, a phone that could run both Silverlight and Flash could steal the title of "most web-friendly phone." Well, get a load of this. Adobe just released Flash 10, and it supports Linux from the get-go. The previous version of Flash put Linux on the low-priority list; delivering support 6 months after Windows and Mac users were satisfied. Exciting stuff, considering the release of Android. When...
HTC G1 Conclusion

HTC G1 in-depth review - Conclusion

I personally am very happy to be playing with the G1, but more excited for whatever comes next.  The G1’s size, weight, lack of 3.5mm headphone jack, and disappointing keyboard make me a little hesitant to jump immediately onto the bandwagon and buy a G1 of my own.  That said, I still might do it.  Android on the G1 is a very satisfying experience that will only get better as more apps are developed and released to the Android...
HTC G1 At a Glance

HTC G1 in-depth review - At a Glance

What’s Good: Android experience is excellent; Web browser is amongst best available on cell phones; Great touchscreen; Touchscreen plus trackball plus QWERTY board provides multiple input options; Notifications bar is handy; Great GMail & Google services implementation; 3G and WiFi for fast data speeds; Amazon provides DRM-free mp3 downloads via WiFi What’s Not Good: Big, bulky, heavy, and not particularly attractive; QWERTY thumbboard...
HTC G1 Introduction

HTC G1 in-depth review - Introduction

We’ve all been waiting, and now that it’s here the T-Mobile G1 does not disappoint.  Yes, it’s big and bulky and heavy and lacks a bunch of features it really should have.  But Android is good - real, real good - and the overall experience of using a G1 for just under a week has left me wanting more. For as much as the G1 itself is the opposite of sexy, the experience of Android on the G1 is nothing but sexy.  The touchscreen...
HTC G1 Design & Features

HTC G1 in-depth review - Design & Features

G1 is big and bulky.  While the phone’s footprint is just a bit smaller than iPhone’s, its thickness really makes it feel like a brick in hand or pocket.  The flip-side is that the phone is quite solid.  From the touchscreen to the unique slider mechanism, I never once feared for G1’s safety.  The phone features a 3.17” touchscreen with a full QWERTY thumbboard hidden underneath, and a trackball.  While this may...

HTC Touch HD vs. LG Prada 2

heres the thing in january ill be getting a new phone and ive narrowed it down to two. i decided on the htc touch hd or the lg prada 2, i decided not to do the xperia because its laggy and decided againt the bb bold because its kind of ugly. But ive read the spec sheets and the hd and prada 2 have basically the same hardware. i like smartphones but i like having a phone that no one else has and since the hd is probaly getting android next year i...

What's the best OS for mobile/cellphones?

Hi Noah and editorsI own both the iPhone 3G and the G1...while the iPhone OS s much more "eye-candy-fied" it does seem quite buggy and the safari seems to crash a lot...have any other ppl experienced this?The G1 OS Android, on the other hand, is a lot more stable and infinitely more fun to play around with...sure, it ain't as pretty, but a lot more functional, if you ask meI've never had the chance to play around with the HTC...

Cell Phone Economics

What ever happened to Adam Smith’s philosophy of specialization? I wish service providers, handset makers, and software developers would revisit this simple, yet revolutionary concept that was introduced to the world in 1776. Each person or group focuses on one area and continually improves their piece of the puzzle. Let’s use Verizon Wireless for our example. Verizon Wireless has a great network (I personally use it) and its coverage area is...

    Wal-Phone: $99 4GB iPhone Rumored for Wal-Mart

    $99 iPhone?

    This isn't so outlandish of an idea, but I'll believe it when I see it.The hot Rumor du Jour has a 4GB Apple iPhone headed to uber-discount store Wal-Mart at the low, low cost of $99 with a two-year contract.  99 bones is less than you'll wind up forking over to AT&T for that first month's bill once you figure in the iPhone data plan and activation fee, never mind all of those mysterious taxes that show up cell phone bills.Boy Genius...

    Mini-Review: Nokia Email Beta

    Thanks to the folks at Nokia, I've got a re-loan of the E71 smartphone, one of my favorite releases of 2008.  A Symbian S60 device, the E71 has an Email client as part of its pre-loaded Messaging application, and while it can't handle HTML mail and isn't the prettiest thing to look at, it basically works just fine.However, Nokia just announced the live Beta of their new Nokia Email service for select devices - including the E71.  So I...

    Digital Trails: Your money or your privacy?

    Your money or your privacy?

    Last Sunday's NYTimes featured an article about a group of MIT students who've traded their privacy for free smartphones.  Researchers are tracking the every move of 100 or so students as part of a study on "collective intelligence," or what the article describes as:a vast sea of digital information being recorded by an ever thicker web of sensors, from phones to GPS units to the tags in office ID badges, that capture our movements and...

    Two years later and ThinkGeeks bluetooth handset still uncontested

    Best bluetooth design ever?

    I've searched far and wide over the last two years, but found no bluetooth device that can stand up to ThinkGeek's revolutionary design from '06. In the shadow of its sinewy curves and the glare of its glistening semi-reflective surface, all competitors appear painfully unimaginative and inadequate. Can this subtle beauty ever be matched... or dare I say, toppled? Undeniably, a classic. I'm also a fan of their BluAlert Bluetooth Bracelet. I...

    Wine gets unsnobby with new iPhone app

    New iPhone app for wine lovers

    If you're like me, a wine enthusiast without a lot of expertise, selecting a bottle can be downright stressful. More than once, I've wandered around and around in a shop, under the gaze of a not-too-helpful sales person who keeps pushing expensive items. I usually wind up choosing based on a cool label or staring at a dinner table wine menu like a deer caught in headlights (that is, until I close my eyes and pick something at random). For mere...
