The Android application ‘Lookout‘ is an app that will protect you from viruses, backup your content, and even will do a remote locate and wipe in case its lost or stolen. Well a guy in Oregon got his Motorola Droid stolen right out of his house while sleeping. He contacted the police when he woke and found laptop, keys, tickets, and his phone stolen. He decided to get on the website for Lookout and check on his backed up data, when he noticed some pictures that he hadn’t taken. The pictures were of the thief who had stolen his phone. Investigators received a tip from a nearby high school, went to their home and found the suspected thief’s with the victims phone. People complain sometimes that technology is a pain, well I think only the thief will agree in this case. -Greg

The Nexus One has probably been the single largest phone craze that hasn’t been released. Google has created quite a frenzy with what once called imaginary or possible hoax. It is now official, for the most part, that Google phone does exist and will become officially official at the CES in just a few days. I hadn’t been so much sucked into the Nexus One craze until now, reports say that the Nexus One may be releasing a 2nd version of the phone. This version would be unlocked and have support for AT&T’s 3G band. That’s right folks it could also be available for AT&T. Of course this is only a rumor at this point, but in on 2 days well know more. Now I’m still not all that excited about the Nexus One in general, that’s because the phone still isn’t anything more special that the next. The Nexus One did make its way to  Engadget and they said its not much faster than the Motorola Droid, doesn’t support multi-touch, no physical keyboard. The only reason I’m even getting close to exited is the possibility that it makes it to AT&T. I already have my fingers crossed for the Motorola Android phone (it’s not the ‘Droid’) that maybe making it’s way to AT&T, now I’ve crossed even more for the Nexus One. Lets all hold hands and pray that at least 1 of these Android phones will be announced on AT&T! -Greg

Here is Engadget’s exclusive one their very own Nexus One.

I’ve been on the Android bus for quite a while. I’ve played with the 1.5 SDK, built a little app for it. I’ve watched as Motorola’s Droid came to life and charged the world like the beaches of Normandy. I now have subscribed to several Android blogs and get dozens of emails a day about Android this and Android that. I’ve become jealous of a few people I know who have some type of Android device. It’s even got as bad as people giving me trouble about them Few phones have hit the FCC with the possibility that they me be headed for AT&T’s network in the US, but I’ve seen nothing. Dell is still in my heart with the hopes that the phone they are now selling in China will sometime in the near future make it to the states. When is AT&T going to accept the reality that Android is not a fad, its not going to die, its going to make them millions and I NEED ONE!!!  I hate you AT&T, I hate you. -Greg

So here it is, the big prizefight between Motorola’s Droid and Apple’s iPhone 3GS. I won’t tell you who wins, but I will say that it was very close and looks like they both have some things to work on. so without any more delay, “let’s get ready to rummmmmmmble!” -Greg

The Android 2.0 OS for mobile phone is awesome and is starting to take the market by storm. Only hours remain before Verizon unleashes their newest phone, Andorid 2.0 phone, Droid. I just wanted to show a picture of Droid’s website, which is astounding of how much it offers right out of the gate. This ball of fury shows 69 things (yes I counted) that Droid “does” or has its arsenal of features. I’m still sadly on AT&T, so I won’t get to too much join in the joy of Android just yet, but I’m keeping good faith that Dell and AT&T are going to be dropping something huge for me and soon! -Greg

If  your already on Verizon, lucky, and your looking for a new phone, your going to buy Droid. If you don’t buy a Droid then I’d have to say you shouldn’t be allowed to make your own decisions anymore. -Greg

A year ago, Android was an unfinished OS for nerds, bursting with potential. With Android 2.0, it’s evolved into something sleeker, more refined and focused—but still something not quite human.

Over the last year, Android’s evolved more rapidly and appeared in more shapes than any other smartphone OS. Every major update has made Android more capable and advanced, while custom interfaces from companies like HTC and Motorola, mean it’s constantly and continually shifting shapes. When you look at the bucket of bolts everybody started with, some of the oh-so-shiny end results were kind of amazing. Android 2.0 blows all of that away, and lays down a platform for the next year that’s wildly more compelling, even as it retains a lot of the same fundamental weaknesses.

So apparently Verizon / Motorolas Droid phone counting down website went live by “accident” and showed its colors, and they are AWESOME! Seriously folks, once I started to read a bit more about Android I knew that it was going be my next phone of choice. I just have to wait for Dell to finish designing their first entry into the cell phone market. Why, because Dell is creating a phone with Android for AT&T. However, after reading the specs on the Motorola Droid for Verizon, I have 2 thoughts. 1. “OMG” I want this phone and I’m almost willing to part ways with AT&T and head to Verizon to get it. 2. Imagine if I wait for the AT&T Dell created Android phone,  it’s Dell. I’m mean I would have to assume that their first entry into the cell phone market would be a powerful one at the least, that would have to match and beat their current competitors, which at this point would really only be the Motorola Droid. ‘Nuff said, I’m going to impatiently wait for the Dell Android phone, and spend my extra time drooling on the Droid at my nearest Verizon store after its officially released. Hurry up Dell, I’m awaiting to speak those infamous words, “Dude, I’m getting a Dell!” -Greg

So here is the specs as found on the Motorola Droid site, that ”accidentally” went live.
