My Tilt Vid and is Google in the air?

December 15, 2007
Here is the video with my first thoughts on my Tilt. Sorry, it may a bit boaring and I say “um” a lot, but this is only the first. Sometime in the new year, I’ll have an orginized review on the device with what I loaded on it and different things. Oh, and my nail, yeah my thumb got shoved in a very fast and powerful fan. Ouch.

How much would pay for something that isn’t really an item or service, but just waves in the air we breathe? One dollar, five or even a few billion? The wireless spectrum of 700mhz is up for bid in the new year. What this means is that the winner, whether it be a wireless provider or not, get a piece of the very limited frequency band to to what they please. But, if Goolge were to snag it up, they have a chance to start up their own wireless service. What does this mean to us? Well for one, better competition. This may be just me, but I think today’s wireless service is boring. Yes, I get to travel the web from a fast network and have countless downloads coming from the sky, but something is missing. The problem is, I don’t know what. I firmly believe that if Google were to enter the wireless biz, they would answer that question. With that said, I want my gPhone already! Well, I want the Android on my Tilt anyway. If you have any thoughts on this, please post a comment.

My Birth Into HD Land, More Google and a Donkey?

November 8, 2007

Well, here it is, my first step, wait, first phase of my journey to HD land. Yes, the place exits…in my head. Anyway, I received my TV wall mount to day (thanks newegg!) and got it up. I could rant on how this mount is great, but seriously, it’s a wall mount. The true story is from newegg. For some odd reason they sent it 2nd day air. That’s great but a little sad because I still don’t have my TV. Ill let you know what I got tomorrow.

Phase One!

Besides my excitement for my new found enjoyment, yet another has come too. The almighty google has entered the cell phone business. This entrance is not how I expected it to be. I was thinking they would give Verizon permission to use their name on their proprietary POS phones. I was dead wrong. In fact, when I found out they are going to be using a mobile form Linux called “The Android” (remember Gonux?) as their foundation, I couldn’t have been more anxious to wait for a cell phone product. To top all that off, anyone will be able to use it since it is only the OS of the phone (so I’ve heard). If it does come down to only 2 or 3 carriers that will host an actual google phone (hardware too), I will not hesitate to grab that right off the self. I really think google will go ahead with having a phone manufactured by someone. When it comes down to it, how many people do you know that are willing to delete, if possible, their OS on the phone and load it with the Android? This OS is already red hot, why load it on old technology? I think it needs it’s own hardware, something as revolutionary as the OS. All we can do is wait….
