Tethering to the RescueAugust 27

I checked in to the hotel last night and found that I would be able to connect via ethernet cable but there was no wifi available in my room. I remembered with FroYo that my Nexus One could act as a hotspot for my netbook. That's the connection I've been using throughout the hotel room at this point. Thank goodness I took the plunge and updated my Nexus! For what its worth, the seminar I'm attending has been very interesting so far!

On the Road AgainAugust 26

This time my travels are taking me much closer to home: I'll be attending a seminar at a hotel only about an hour from home. However, I'll be staying at the hotel and we'll see their connectivity options I'm in the car being driven to the hotel and using my wireless usb dongle. more later....

Galaxy TabAugust 24

Here it is- the drool-inducing video of the Samsung Tab. And I have to admit- I want one! The Tab looks to be extremely portable, and running Android 2.2. If Samsung really does release the Galaxy Q I can see having a Q and a Tab to replace my Nexus....

MyBookDroid for AndroidAugust 15

I've been using GoodReads for a while now- not for the social aspect but for the ability to keep track of what I've read and what I want to read. So naturally I've been looking for a way to get that info on to my Nexus. I haven't found a solution yet but I've come up with something really exciting instead. MyBookDroid is a great find that's perfect for many reasons:

-I was able to scan the barcodes on my books and build my library in a few minutes. Now I have an organized list of all my books.

-When I see a book I can scan it and tag it as a book to read later.

- I can find similar books or go directly to buy from Amazon.

In the future the developer has promised sync with GoodReads. In the meantime its a great app for book management. And here's a tip: build a separate library for your eBooks to separately identify your physical books from your Kindle downloads.
