Dang, it sure does suck when you don’t have your phone anymore. All those day to day conveniences and connectedness ends up being this total VOID! But then anger kicks in when someone steals your shit and you’re out two hundred dollar phone and your passwords- along with your bank account info.

For a thief who steals someone’s iPhone or Android it ends up being similar to hitting the lotto. Passwords, emails, text messages and access to just about anything everything else. With no work involved and more than likely minimum risk.

For many phone users they do not even think about any of this. There actual apps out there for Android, iPhone, and Blackberry (which will be out soon) that you can purchase which will add a tracking to stolen phone. Many people do not jump on this, I’m assuming because it costs money on top of phone insurance which totally adds up. It all adds up- plus the economy being what it is just adds to the reluctance, gotta save wherever you can.

Read up on some more information as well as awesome tips. The apps that were mentioned earlier, find where to get them.

As all of us already know the economy sucks- like SUCKS A BIG FAT ONE! Along with the awful BP “incident” off the Gulf Coast the cost of oil and gas has gone up. For many of us in big cities $3.00 a gallon is a common site.

Finding gas stations which are the cheapest in town can be a pain. While driving around, wasting the little bit of gas you had in your tank you end up going to the gas station that costs the most because you ended up being too picky- desperate times call for desperate measures.

This is where this FANTASTIC FREE, let me say again ———-> FREE FREE FREE FREE<———– app comes in.  Gas Buddy is an app you upload on to your phone, it will give you the cheapest gas station where ever you might be at that time. This is also awesome if you are road tripping because as we all know the most expensive stations are the ones nearest to the interstate.

Gas Buddy uses your GPS and Google Maps which is  more than likely on your phone. Some versions have the navigation where the person talks you through the directions.

Be sure to upload it here! Quit paying up the a** for gas already- find a good deal..

I recently came across a really cool blog post that showed me a great app biking, hiking, running and perhaps other uses you can think of training tool it’s an app called My Tracks for your android phone.
This is a pretty cool app, keeps track of speed, distance, elevation and time on your screen for you. When you finish your workout it is a simple matter to load your workout up to your Google docs and track your workouts over time.

The app will also let you share your route and your workout with others if you tag it properly and upload to Google maps. Awesome!!
I love to find a new bike trail when I get out and go camping. A new mountain trail is always cool!
I can also see a lot of cool uses for this while traveling. When I am visiting my in-laws in Thailand we are nearly always driving around blind and it would be so easy to record my trip and have it ready for the next visit that I take or to send others of my family there when they travel over for a visit.
Anyway, super cool app, check it out!!

Motorola droid 2 is out and there are some really cool features unlike the last version. There are some serious pluses to the latest droid.

• Allows you to organize and play back media files that were either purchased or from the phone’s memory card itself.
• Apps like Windows Media Player allows you to sync songs
• The battery is pretty bad ass in that smartphones always seem to die quickly. This batter with normal talking time is about a day and half. About two days with light talking use.

Those are some quick at a glance facts.  Read more here

Cell phone technology has taken off, it has blasted off is more like it, blown UP. Smartphones and the ongoing love hate relationship between Google and Apple seem to really feed off of one another and create lots of new programs. Of course the obvious difference between the two which is what sets them apart is the open system (Google) and the closed system (Apple). Yet with all  these new advances there are some questions arising. The biggest is security! More and more apps are now able to gain access to vital information such as passwords, bank info, etc.

Quite a few experts have been analyzing such issues. The question that was sparked was which platform is safer? Let’s begin with the different types of phones:

• Blackberry aka “Crackberry” – Limits users from installing, sharing or creating different applications. But Blackberry became popular because it was the first phone that allowed you to get your email on your phone, definitely not because it is a Smartphone.
• Windows Mobile- Microsoft created a mini computer in a phone. It is has the ability for users to install and share applications, but people really haven’t been into purchasing it.
• iPhone- Really started the launch of Smartphones and all the hoopla. Although Apple controls what applications get approval and which do not. There are a TON of apps. Due to the closed syste

  m the security is pretty damn good. When you think about it though, if you have never been outside the castle walls- how are you to know what the world is like? Or born into a country like North Korea where you can’t think and you are told what is and isn’t okay. Makes you wonder what’s beyond the Apple walls!

• Android aka “Droid”- the OS was designed to resemble a PC and be able to run many different applications  all at once which aren’t to be monitored, per se, by a central entity. This is all great but this does make the system vulnerable.

Recent study that was conducted ran these numbers: there will be forty eight thousand apps available to Android users, about twenty percent of the apps will require a third party or access from some other entity. There are some hackers that perhaps develop apps to do hateful things like bank fraud, identity theft, and so much more.

About five percent of apps have the capability to place a call to any number without user’s permission. Two percent of apps have that capability to send SMS messages (text messages) without user’s permission. The percentages seem small but in ratio with the overall number, the likeliness of bad luck, and the lack of filtering one should be aware at least.

Just be aware, take caution of the sites you visit, and easy with the downloading! Do a little research and check out comments and such.

How exciting!! Another Android will soon hit the market. You never know what they will come up with next; I think that is what is so cool about Droid. Anywho… the latest is the Motorola Charm (snazzy name).Later on this summer, I bet when fall hits and everyone is headed back to school will be the release.

Android 2.1 which has an improved version of the Motoblur with resizable widgets (watch this video if you aren’t sure what “resizing widgets” means). Handling your social-networking has also been taken into consideration with new ways of juggling it all.

The design alone is what makes the Charm that more appealing. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, a large touch screen with a pinch to zoom all with a backtrack navigation which is located on the back. Additionally the camera is 3 megapixels with Kodak Perfect Touch technology, crystal Talk Plus technology for the audio and full HTML Web browser with Flash Lite support.

As you can see, this will be quite the catch come the end of the summer. T-Mobile will be carrying this so be sure to look out for it!

If you’re like me, I do find those listings of “must haves” to be interesting and most of the time helpful. Lets you know what’s out there but also some other ideas as to what might fit better in your life style.

Here are a few more Apps that I think possibly could help out when it comes to traveling.

Flight Stats: This App allows you to get up to date information for multiple airports globally. Website info, itinerary given in your time and contact information. Departure and arrival times along with gate locations all of which to help you not to be late for a flight

Places Directory: Which is just helpful to have always. I found it to be SUPER helpful and a long road trip, a big move across the country. This app will do a search for whatever it is you would like that is located where you happened to be. For instances there are various categories hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. It will give you a listing and then give you the distances and upon a further look contact and website information if available.

Celeste SE: For a little fun, especially those of you who like to star gaze. This app will utilize the GPS in order to map out a 3D graphics and planets map according to where you are physically located. FUN!!

Also another great resource for those of you that travel a lot for business.

When Kindles hit the market they really made a big splash. Not only eco-friendly but also a much more reasonable buy for new books and just plain easier to lug around. Yet now that we have these amazing gadgets called smart phones that have apps.

Now you don’t have to go out and buy a whole new Kindle. You can just down load the App to your smart phone and BAAM! You have access to online books!!

I personally will be downloading this awesome app, I hope that you do too! ( The theme song to “Reading Rainbow” just popped into my head LOL )
