  • Path vs. Instagram on Android

    Path vs. Instagram on Android

    I recently went through the exercise of finding a replacement for Instagram, when they sold-out to Facebook. Path wasn’t on my list of replacements at the time because they didn’t offer filters or lenses like Instagram does – at least on Android, iOS users have had that feature for some time. Now that Path has…

    Instagram vs. Lightbox vs. PicPlz vs. Aviary and More…

    Ever since the bombshell dropped, that Instagram had sold out to Facebook, a lot of us have been looking for an alternative. Now the sell-out may not be the end of the world as we know it, but we expect in a very short time that Instagram will change their terms of service to read…

  • Instagram for Android is here

    Instagram for Android is here

    We’ve all seen the cool retro pictures on Twitter (and elsewhere) generated by Instragram. And it’s fun to play with the filters when sharing some nonsense on Twitter, and seeing the effect immediately appear on the screen. There are other apps that do this but Instagram definitely makes it quick and fun to do. So…

  • Papermill and the Blight of Android Play

    Media coverage and sales of Papermill have already far exceeded my expectations and I can’t envision either increasing. With this in mind, it’s easy to conclude that the the application, with its current price and need for a subscription, will never generate a profit, especially when costs like fonts still need to be incurred. If…

    Corporate Greed is the Worst Public Relations at Yellow Pages

    You know those thick yellow books we all have at home, that are really useful for boosting up kids at the dining table when you run out of actual booster seats? Well, turns-out there was a time before tablets, smart phones, and the Internet when people actually marched their fingers through those books to find…

    Google’s Dropbox competitor will reportedly launch in April

    The famed, mysterious G-Drive is apparently finally coming to the internet! There have long been reports since 2006 that the G-Drive, used internally at Google as Platypus, was coming. It’s hard to imagine that the initial, free, limit is 1 GB when services like Drop Box offer 2 GB and Sugar Sync offers 5 GB.…

  • Sony making it easier for developers to build custom ROMs for Xperia S

    Sony making it easier for developers to build custom ROMs for Xperia S

    This is exactly what I expected from Android when it was first announced, before it was released, and then we saw what the manufacturers were doing and where the carriers were taking it. The device should be just hardware, you added some drivers to the OS provided by Google (or Cyanogen or MIUI or …)…

    FAA Reviewing Policy on Electronic Gadgets

    So they’re finally going to considering letting us do what plenty of people already do: get in one last e-mail as the plane accelerates down the runway! How many times have you been getting on to a flight and seen the people around you tapping away on their Blackberry? I was always told they have…

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE Review

    This review was made possible with the generous support of Pop Radiator! This weekend I had the opportunity to play with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with LTE. It’s a great Android Honeycomb tablet with connectivity every where you go thanks to the LTE radio. I only had the tablet for the weekend, and quite…
