By now you’ve probably heard that the iPhone is coming to Verizon Wireless. Unlike some blogs, I will call it the iPhone and not the i*hone. I am not embarrassed by it. I respect what the iPhone has done for the cellular industry, even if it is an Apple product…
I really am not against Apple products. I liked my iPod but didn’t need it once I found Droid. I never owned one of their computers, either. I find them to be too pricey for what you get, even though they tend to work well and seem to do better with the artsy stuff than Windows machines.
Truthfully, I have played with friends iPhones and generally like how they work, especially version 4 of iOS.
But, I’m smitten by Android. Apple just can’t break that bond. I’m happy to not be a follower, to be able to customize my phone how I see fit, and to have the ability to run live wallpapers and widgets. None of which is available on iPhone.
Speaking of widgets, I love Beautiful Widgets beautiful weather widget seen in the pic above. The coolest part of it is the customization factor (there it is again!). In case you can’t see it too well, that little dude is the Crazy Frog. Google him if you don’t know who he is.
One last thought about the iPhone coming to Verizon…
The current iPhone is not, nor will it ever be 4G. Couple that fact with the new slate of monster phones coming out in the next few months with better displays and dual core processors and Apple has its work cut out for iPhone 5, which, if Apple stays the course, will be unveiled sometime in June.
If I had to upgrade today, I would get a Droid Bionic. It may not have a Gig of RAM but it’s other specs look out of this world!
So I was in the library at work one day and I had had enough of Crazy Birds and I had read through all the Facebook and Twitter posts in Tweet Deck so I downloaded Google Reader for Android, which is basically Google News for your mobile device, albeit with only the feeds you choose.
It’s very usable and easy to find interesting articles, though it may take some time to set up if you’re not really sure what you want to read.
Below you’ll find a few screenshots of a particular string from my Reader feed:
Here is that video, if you’re interested:
