True nerds smoke rechargable cigarettesJune 16 2009

I know this isnt really android related, but I couldnt resist bragging about the new electronic device I ordered last night. Apparently e-cigarettes have been around for a while (I guess I live in a cave) but I havent really seen them, so this was news to me. Having seen an ad for blucigs while browsing random pages I couldnt help but check it out. After a little reading (2 hours) and watching a few videos I decided to bite the bullet and order my first electronic cigarette. From what I can tell this will be a full replacement for real cigarettes minus the smell which means my wife might have to figure something else to complain about. For those of you who smoke and have not yet checked it out, take a peek at their site by clicking the image to the left.

I did the math and the starter kit itself seems like enough saving to warrant a chance. The starter kit is $59 with free shipping. It includes 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, the portable charger (shaped like a pack of cigarettes), a usb charger, a wall charger and 25 smoke cartridges. Cartridges are sold in packs of 5 with each pack being equal to about 75 cigarettes (almost 4 packs). A "Carton" of 5 packs is equal to about 350 cigarettes (1.75 normal cartons). With the current price of the smoke I buy being about $60ish, that puts the starter kits cartridges at about $105 worth of smoke for $60. Each carton after that is $25, and replaces almost 2 cartons of cigarettes. Based on my prices a month of my normal cigare

Droid Dev Challenge ResultsJune 6 2009

Second Place goes to Weather from Android Apps

 

 

Thanks to all of the devs and those who donated. This will probably be the last contest here for Android-DLs.com but do feel free to

Haykuro 1, Rogers 0June 1 2009

Well, it seems Haykuro has done it again. Rogers will be the second to release the Rogers software when their Android phone hits the market tomorrow (June 2nd). They were beat by a 17yr old who happened to finish his homework early and have some time to spare. They should change the back of the phone to say "WITH Haykuro" instead of the "Rogers" logo. This early release presents another first also: US G1 owners have a chance to use the Canada only rom before Canada gets to use it. Grab your copy of it here!

 

 

 

Haykuro shows Rosie on HeroMay 30 2009

Now that is an odd mouthful. For those who do not understand what it means, Rosie is the home screen HTC wrote that shows all those nice widgets. Hero is the phone the wrote the nice UI for and haykuro is the one who got it all from them. I have reports from the man himself that while it looks great, the speed is a bit lacking. The HTC Hero has better specs than the G1 and therefore can handle it a bit better. No word yet on when/if there will be a release. Watch the video below for the latest on Rosie from haykuro.

 

 

Droid Dev Challenge 1 Ends Soon!May 29 2009

The first (but hopefully not last) Droid Dev Challenge is coming to an end. Developers, you do not have much time to get your submissions into me. Please read the rules on submitting your entries to me. The rules and submission guidelines can be found on the contest page.

We have had many Android developers express interest in the contest, and some have started submitting their Android widgets already. As you can see from the sidebar, there is a nice chunk of change sitting in the prize pot. Good luck to all of the developers and may the best widget win!
