About the old new phone

Now that I've got some time in with this Droid I have a lot of positive feed back.  With one looming question.  Who needs more horsepower than this phone?  I'm starting to understand my answer to this question.  Here are my favorite Apps so far:  Wells Fargo,  Realtor.com, Delta airlines, Walgreens, Yelp, Blogger and of course Facebook.  I think you can tell by my favorite list of Apps that I'm new to this game.  I guess that is kind of how technology works.  Once you get in the pool and feel how warm the water can be you then start to see what else you can do.  Like maybe the back stroke.  I've not been a very avid user of Facebook but now that I have a droid I'm starting to see the magic of it.  Take a cool picture,  show it to all of your friends with some kind of witty saying.  Express yourself.  Stay connected.  reach people you've lost track of or who have moved away.  Do this as a natural part of living life with a few clicks should I say finger presses.  In the US we like to have our own space and control over who we communicate with and how.  These hand held devices are opening up an entire new way of communicating about ourselves.  Different ways of processing our world.  I'm sitting there the other day thinking "I don't want to pick up the phone and talk to an auto attendant and try to punch in the right numbers to renew my prescription".  Then I have a thought.  "I wonder if there is a Walgreens  application?"  Sure enough there is.  So I set myself up and BAM! there are all my prescriptions just click go.  It was a wow moment for me.  Everyone has to do this.  everyone needs to interact with the pharmacy so make it easier.  Not just for the patient but for the pharmacy.  So cool.  

I'm really excited to see what else I can discover.  I can't wait to share my thoughts with you.

My cool new old phone

Ok I'm a little behind the times.  Well I have my dads 2 year old Droid incredible.  This is awsome.  I'm very happy to say I think this will put me back in the blogging business.  I'll have more to say in my next post.  Just wanted to try out this cool new app for connecting and adding content to my blog from anywhere.   Super fun!!!

About the windows mobile phone operating system

It seems like people like to pick on Microsoft.  I think it's because they are a big target.  I also think it's human nature to not want to be confined to one way of doing things.  Thus Mac's are very popular in the desktop market and Linux is very popular in the server operating system market along with being a perfect solution for many other solutions like phone systems and mobile devices.  Regardless of all the people who say that the Iphone and Android are going to crush Microsoft in the mobile phone market I gladly took the opportunity to work with the new Windows mobile phone.

I like it.  I think that we tend to over complicate our technology.  We expect our computer/phone/TV/game console to do everything.  I love having options.  Now I can download Netflix to my TV and my game console.  Wait....I don't need to be able to do that.  I can only watch one movie at a time.  So I'm happy with my windows mobile phone.  After all I can:  1. make a call 2.take a call 3. look up a contact  4. check my email 5.Text.  6. Surf the internet. 7.Download apps from the app store. Easily!
