G1 for 30 Days

I've bought the G1 Android phone from T-Mobile in the U.S., and I have 30 days to figure if I wanna keep it.

If you have feedback, I'm at marc@disquiet.com.

By the way, this is my main website: disquiet.com. It's broadly about personal technology, but specifically to the extent that technology mediates music and sound and related art.

Countdown, 13 Days: Smells Like …

I was looking forward to the arrival of paid apps on Android. And now they are here.

Inevitable as they were, though, I wasn’t looking forward to Fart App ($0.99), FartDroid ($1.50), gFart ($1.99), or Fart Tools ($0.99).

Fortunately, I suppose, Noble Fart is still free, as is iFart, as well as an earlier iteration of FartDroid.

Anyhow, perhaps hidden in the mist is somthing useful, like a tether app, or a good ebook reader (one with multiple file formats and bookmarking capabilities), or a Doc/RTF/XLS editor, or a means to connect a proper keyboard via Bluetooth, or a replacement for the default email program.
