NEXUS ONE with a Keyboard...is this in our future

The is soo much talk about the NEXUS ONE. I for one have the Motorola CLIQ but the NEXUS ONE does look like something I could use, if it had a physical keyboard. Well, apparently it just might get one. Google Engineering VP talked of an enterprise version that could have a keyboard and longer battery life. .. and there could be more devices including a budget model.

Check here for more of the story and click here to see the NEXUS at google.

Andriod App Review of Evernote


Evernote is where your information can be stored and keeped safe and in one place. You write a note and that paper almost always gets misplaced. You try to put in on your cell and then when you need it, you don't have your phone. Sometimes you save that note on your home computer but now that your at the office, access to that machine is out of the picture. That is where evernote comes in. It allows you to save those items and as long as you have internet access, you have access to your notes online. I have used Evernote at work and now that it is in the Android Market, I plan on using it even more often.

I mainly used Evernote on the PC and it is a simple program to use. Type the note, take a screen shot and save it, thats all there is to it. The Android app allows you to take a snap shot, upload a file, take a text note or even an audio note. Evernote is free to use but it does come with limits
Monthly uploads of up to 40mb
Uploads can be of images, audio, ink and pdf files

Go premium and you get 500mb a month uploads, enhanced sercurity and more. You can check out the free and premium comparisons here.

So far I have not found a reason to dislike Evernote on my Andriod phone. I have used it on my Moto CLIQ without error and I plan to use it often.

If your the type of person that takes lots of notes and finds yourself using scrap paper and losing them from time to time to time, I suggest you give Evernote a try. It is gonna save you some time, if not lessen how often your looking for a lost note again.

How not to fix the DROID

Ok, there are DROID users out there that have problems with the battery cover. You would think that if you go back to where you bought it they would tell you what your options are or give you another ( during the first 14 days at least. ) But Verizon has a new option and it's free of course. Allow me to introduce you to The Verizon Bandaid.. while supplies last


Check here for the users story.
UPDATE: Verizon is offering replacement covers. If you need one, keep checking at Verizons website because they are out of stock.
