First Droid Weekend and the Brothers Droid
Saturday and Sunday were the first full days with my new Droid phone. I couldn't help but gloat a little with Brain about him having to wait till today to get his via FedEx. Of course, he got a much better price. I'm waiting for his Droid to finish charging to post this. Thus the Brothers Droid in the title.
Saturday, the first full day with the Droid, had the whole family in the car using the GPS to get Sam to a meetings for a school project. It worked fairly well. The destination was in a not yet completed housing development, so we got to the street, but not the house numbers. (Google Maps satalite view still showed about 3/4 of the houses there closer to holes in the ground than houses.)
I'm also working on getting my social networking status updates working. Ping.fm app is installed. Brightkite is install (and working really well with the GPS). Evernote for Android is still in beta, so lacks some features. I did not see an official Flickr app, so I'm thinking of which ones out there to try (or maybe just fall back to whatever ping.fm offers). And I already miss TimeTracker MX.
I did try (and appears failed) to navigate sending a couple of pictures from one of our stops (McDonald's Garden Center).
At a neighborhood party later in the day, I was able to impress a couple of people with pulling down a YouTube video that had been the topic of conversation. It streamed very nicely. Everyone seemed impressed with the phone.
Right now, I'm still waiting for my dear brother to end his self impossed lack of communication (his Droid is charging) where he refuses to call me or take my calls till he can do it on HIS Droid.
There's more I want to write about the Droid, but lunchtime is ending, and I really should get back to work.
