Paypal Android Bump App

Posted onAuthorTech News

Just by being at the correct menu and fulfilling the proper credentials, you can now bump your android phone to another android phone and make a payment of a specified amount.
Android application that allows paypal payment via a bump? lol now the pick pockets just have to bump into your phone? If you are a moron walking around looking for some who is ready to receive while you have a specified drop amount in hand.
What will this do for smuggling or laundering. Probably not much. Except when you see the Knux bump, It could in fact be an exchange of money. An accidental hand bump in a a crowded bus, airport, mall or what ever. You can then pretend to be someone that witnessed a spy transaction. Or you could be someone that really did witness one and just not wake up in the morning.
Well you can get your android bump ap and see who all out there is willing to test it out with you.
Go to Paypal’s site when you get the free time or look in the android market for it.

Hands on with Iphone 4

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I got my hands on the IPhone 4. After a week of arguing with the macfaqs at work about how Apple is not super man and the pope rolled into one and how the Iphone really does have a signal issue.
One of the co-workers brought an Iphone 4 in to the office and let me get a hands on.

one of Iphone4's Cameras.

IPhone 4 With camera on

The camera on it is amazing. (yeah I’m in the background gathering pictures with my G1).

Back Of IPhone 4

You can actually have a full on video chat with someone who has an IPhone 4 also.

Front Camera

The resolution is remarkable. The thing is nice and heavy feeling. Very sturdy. Somehow though it looks like the old nano and a Motorolla birthed an Apple. Video quality is up to 720p 29 fps recording.

screen area

  • 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display
  • 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
  • 800:1 contrast ratio (typical)
  • 500 cd/m2 max brightness (typical)

512mb Ram 1GHz processor Really impressive. That could play GTA liberty City Stories easily.

Well that’s the best I can do with my limited time with the phone. The co-worker that brought that with him is now as we speak on a plane to somewhere on vacation. HTC needs to build more like that. or Motorolla needs to build more like that. Then again, just be motivated by that to make something better. So if I did not make it clear reception was fine. a room with 7 computers 6 of them running and reception was fine. No matter where I placed my fingers on that phone, the signal was good.

(((((1 video was removed)))))

I really appreciated the chance to check that thing out. It was the feeling of when you are holding a brand new hard drive that you know is fast and has tons of storage. It just felt sturdy very well built and nice and heavy.
I will not be buying one simply because AT&T has chased me away already with their bad signal in my area. Sure wish it was on Tmobile. Not much better but better.

Iphone to Verizon Uh Oh

Posted onAuthorGame News

Rumor is (On ZDNET) that Iphone is moving to or expanding to Verizon. Verizon is known to have the best cellular coverage across America. Iphone is of course known as being the  most wanted cell phone around the world. With the release of Android, Iphone has to have seen a huge hit to their budget. or not. apple is quite tight lipped.

This whole news burst could be all mislead hype. Apple has a huge “no leak” policy. Just earlier in March there was a rumor of Sprint getting the Iphone . So this could all be a rumor or it could be a fact. Both sprint and Verizon are on CDMA networks. So there could be an all out Motorola (everyone has or has had one) move coming.

So far there is no tale of  Iphone heading to Tmobile. Of course we know that TMobile is the leader in Android phones (well it seems like it). A move to Iphone through TMobile may lead to a huge batch of phones being traded in. This would be the death nail for Android. Tmobile is of course not a cdma network phone, it is GSM. So it’s the same build as AT&T. It would be an easy move. I doubt though that Tmobile would take them in.

As of now, everything is speculation. But you can imagine what every mac rumor does to their stocks. So from here out, we watch and wait. If it does not come to your network, chances are you can buy one on eBay that is unlocked…. and ready. for $100 extra.


One Month Review of G1 HTC Android.

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Well I have had my G1 for one month.

On day one, it crashed about 3 times.

On day two it got an update to something, no clue it happened so fast and I had no idea how to work anything on it, that I may never know. After the update I had crashes the whole day . Finally found the applications and what ones I could install.

I have to have all background processes turned off, otherwise it is super dead slow. Barcode scanners all seem to be just advertisement for national companies. Mostly target and  some drug store. Read More about the Android Barcode scanner here.

While searching the apps online, every single app has some clown saying ” app froze would not run had to uninstall found better one” then they say the name of  the supposed better one. I have come to the conclusion they are smearing  and trying to promote their own app..  If it freezes, turn background processes back on.. you will move slow, but yeah, it will work.

Storage,
I hate the limitations of this cell phone. I have an 8 gig memory card in the machine, but it seems to only install new apps to the phone, not the memory card. That bugs the hell out of me, because default storage for the phone is like one song. There is no way to change that.

The phone has been out for just over a year, yet they already have the G2 on it’s way to the shelves? if not already released???? why? they knew it sucked?

Screen area is huge and the resolution is remarkable. The camera takes an amazing picture, audio is pretty good through good head set, if you have the right adapter. Internet is super fast if you use the wifi settings and have a fast connection at your house (lol). I have actually seen over 2 megs a second, considering I have a 20meg a second connection, it is possible. Pandora Radio and ars radio are the best features. Other than running around in your skivvies playing with the light-saber app.

yesterday I pulled out one of my old Motorola phones, slapped my sim card in it, and bam, I get a bunch of text messages.. Has that freaking phone been missing my texts? Is that why she dumped me ? is that why i lost that bid for the job? what in the heck ???

Not happy, selling pretty soon.

I will be going back to my Blackberry 8100, just hope I can get used to the double tap simi qwerty keyboard.

WooHoo, My G1 Arrived

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

Logged into my ups account and checked tracking. They left the dang thing on the front porch. A $400 phone left on the porch. Really?

Oh well had family at home to bring it in for me. So I called.

Good thing, after the scare I had last night with my Blackberry 8100 (lol just look at last night’s post.) I have two phones in my pocket. Only one has the sim card, the other is ready and waiting for just in case the BB8100  craps out on me.

I have no idea what to expect of the phone.

Hello world!

Mods on motoRizr

So far the best one I have used is the browser add on, the opera mini, isn’t super smooth and takes for ever to load but it lets me actually browse the web instead of pages that will not display and or just seeing the news and weather sections.

most of the games I have found are in other languages or come with so little instruction you get stuck on screens that are moved all the way to the right or all the way to the left out of viewing area.

But as a media player… excelent. all of teh media player addons are quite useless, I did find one that was a streaming radio player but again, wrong language and barely did anything once i bumped my way around in it .

The camera, good for 2mp.

video camera, damn good for 2 minutes max.
