Another HTC Hero Video!

This looks like is is goign to be the sweatest phone ever:

HTC hero with Sense

HTC has it the big money this time with their new HTC Sense which is the first customized Android interface for a phone. HTC took android and made it really pretty and then put it on a really pretty slick phoen called the HTC Hero. Not only is the HTC Hero with sense the coolest thing ever (at least in my eyes) but it also will be the first phone with Flash support out of the box! Yes I did say Flash! The Palm Pre and Iphone just got slapped in the face!

Here is a nice picture stolen from crunch gear:

This phone with the Android Google Voice App is goign to be Killer! Also if you want to see more here is also a video from crunch gear:

If anyone finds out when this could be released and on what carrier please post it in the comments, I would be very much appreciative! Thanks!

In Depth Google Voice Review

Google a long time ago bought a company called Grand Central which eventually stopped giving out invites when Google took them over. For a long time Grand Central was in the dark like it fell off the map. There weren’t any blog posts or updates given by anyone and the site seemed almost dead except for the fact that it still worked for users who were lucky enough to get an account before Google took it over.

Google Voice Coming Soon!

Google Voice, which many people have been impatiently awaiting is finally showing signs of coming alive to a great deal more users. So if your one of the 300 million Americans (Google Voice is only in the US Right Now) waiting for a number your in luck! According to Network World:

Google last month reserved 1 million phone numbers with Level 3, signaling that it may finally be ready to roll out its long-anticipated Google Voice service.

This I never really thought abotu before, Google needs numbers to be able to let users use its service. This is probably why it is taking so long for people to be invited to the Google Voice service because Google is limited by the ammount of numbers they own and can give out.

Lets at T-mobile G1 to the List

Yesterday I made a post comparing the Iphone Cost to the Palm Pre costs, and then even added in the Blackberry Storm. Well I don’t knwo how I forgot it, but what about the t-mobile Android G1 smart phone! So here are the results for the G1 for totalt cost of ownership:

I really like the Android Operating system and am thinking it its going to get really really good when Google really integrates Google voice with it.

Smartphone Cost: Iphone vs Pre vs Storm

The Palm Pre came out the other day while the Apple Iphone 3GS came out today so let the million of pointless head to head blog posts comparing the Pre over the Iphone and vice versa so of course I have to jump on the band wagon and write a comparing blog post so I am not the only blog on the internet not writing a post comparing the Pre and the new Iphone.

So Since I dont own either and am not really inclined to go overly nuts researching loads and loads of information I just decided to try and find which one would cost more, so instread of boring you with many more words here are two pictures that speak fore themselves:

Info thanks to Bill Shrink. So click that Bill Shrink Link if you want to try it yourself. I will try to maybe update this post to add my Blackberry Storm but maybe I dont want to see it on the cost line with these phones….

Updated: So I took the time to add the Blackberry Storm to. Yea I really love all my readers…or just bored

Mac Rumors for Live Mac Conference

I few days ago I posted that I would be watching engadget because they so simply put the times for everyone around the different coasts etc. But I do want to throw out there if you want to watch updates on your iphone or blackberry I would check out Mac Rumors Live website because when I checked it out on my blackberry storm it rendered the page nicley to fit.So if you want to watch the conference updates live on your smartphone check out Mac Rumours Live here.

May Venture Into Google Voice now….

If you saw my post yesterday I said I would not use my new coveted Google voice account just yet, but that now may have changed.

It seems that GVdialer has a beta of a new version of gvdialer that integrates texting, So I am told. If this is true and it is done right I would gladly use this beta version of gvdialer along with my blackberry storm. I will keep you all posted, I hope this rumor is true and hopefully will have some answers for you all later today and hopefully I will be happily useing my Google Voice!

Why I will wait to use my Google Voice Account

I have been one of the lucky few to be able to get a coveted Google Voice Account from Google. It is an amazing and powerful free thingamajiger for doing all sorts of stuff with phones.

I can use an app called gv dialer on my blackberry storm to seamless integrate my Google voice number to call from my phone. The one problem is that texting is not seamlessly integrated into my phone and I have to use the Google voice mobile website from my phone to text. Or get each of my contacts 409 numbers which if you don’t what what those numbers are thats a whole another story.

So untill Google Voice seamlessly integrates texting onto my phone, I will hold my account until then. But once they do I can not wait because it will be happily using my Google Voice account. Untill then lets hope Google Moves fast.
