If you haven’t tried this amazing technology, you’re missing out. I’m continually amazed by how good Google Voice Search is and now it’s even better. This is a fantastic way to send text messages while you’re, ahem, parked in your car by the side of the road. try it!
Google’s Nexus S phone represents the current state-of-the-art in Android software and hardware. What I like about this phone is great battery life (I’ve got a Sprint EVO 4G which I really love but the battery life is horrible) and it’s one of the first phones with the latest “Gingerbread” Android OS version 2.3. If you’re looking for a phone, take a long, serious look at this one
YouTube just for Android just got upgraded. Nice, incremental changes. You can watch video while you interact with the rest of the app or just turn the phone to landscape to get full screen.
One of the many things I love about my Android phone (I’ve got the Sprint EVO 4G) is that Google keeps updating the gmail app. There’s a whole new list of features with this release including support for Priority Inbox. Go to Android Market to get your upgrade or click on the graphic below to get more details from Google.

Quick Links enable you to “bookmark” a frequently-used search in gmail. Very handy tool that helps you get to commonly-searched email that might not be part of a Label.
Try it!
If your family is on AT&T and your kids have been clamoring for a iphone, this might be just the ticket. Though it’s not the iphone4, the Best Buy deal for a free iphone 3GS could be a winner. I hope this article is true!
If you’re a tmobile subscriber, take a very close look at this phone. My wife has the “Vibrant”, which this phone is based on, and it’s excellent. This one adds a front-facing camera, better battery life, and the latest Android version. I’d probably buy this if I was looking.
I just replaced my Logitech mouse with a Microsoft one and made a short video about it
I just upgraded my Chrome. Seems to work like a charm.

Got Windows 7? Got AVG? Don’t do the December update!
If you haven’t already downloaded the latest mandatory AVG 2011 Free software update, it may be best not to if you want your computer to turn on again. The December 1 update is causing 64-bit PCs running Windows 7 to totally breakdown.
