Oh man.. I want this phone so bad. It’s the successor to my current rig, the G1 (HTC Dream). Only releasing in the UK and Asia for now.. Plz to US?

Hoping something like this comes to T Mobile.. I can’t believe how much I like the UI of this...

Been playing around in Vark the last couple days. It’s like Yahoo! Answers meets Twitter meets that service that charges .99 for instant sms answers. But free.

Check it out! Sign up via Vark, Facebook or your Google account..

Some of the ‘best of’ Google Street View captures.. As expected, plenty of peeing and ‘The Sims-like’-naked people.

Found a cool new photosharing/storage site. I’m always looking for innovative new ideas that make the user experience more enjoyable. I like the way Divvyshot organizes photos by events and specific tags.

Check it out.. If nothing else, it’s a cool replacement or supplement to Flickr!

One of my primary frustrations with the Android platform has been the browsing experience. Inconsistent, buggy and tangibly limited both viewing and navigating the web has led to me just emailing myself the link to check it out on my netbook. It’s really that bad.

After seeing Avatar and the scientists swiping images and data from one device to another, I couldn’t go back. Why can’t we have a proto-prototype of that on our smartphones today? The Mozilla Weave project is a start, but it’s not a browser. I finally stumbled across Fennec. I downloaded the code and ran it in an emulator - and to my browsing delight, it was amazing. Or at least, seemed amazing. For Windows Mobile based phones.

There are rumors something similar is coming to Android.. I really hope some of them are true!
