Android Army Pumped for All-Out Attack on iPhone | Gadget Lab

Soon, you’ll need more than two hands to count the number of Android phones on the market. At this rate, it seems inevitable that the number of phones running Google’s open source operating system will eventually outnumber the number of iPhones, which run Apple’s proprietary (and closed) operating system.

Droid: Top 7 features that will blow you away

[This post is not meant to be serious at all] 

My favourite Droid features from their website : 

1. Tunes, not to be mistaken with iTunes.
2. Night life: Staying lonely at home Saturday night? I know what you need.
3. Hardcore: as in... hardcore Tunes and Night life? 
4. MultiTouch: A "industry first" revolutionary method to use your fingers in a hardcore way. 
5. Big screen: Because that's what matters most. 
6. Life: Like most of us try to do, get yourself one.

Did you know that Lucasfilm owns the trademark to the word "Droid?" Apparently, the word is mentioned once or twice in that "Star Wars" movie he made a bunch of years ago. As it turns out, if someone wants to use the term in an official product name, they've got to clear the rights with George and company.

Fonera 2.0n in the UK - First impressions

FON is the company founded by Martin Varsavsky that produces wireless routers to help people share their WiFi Internet service and access others around the world. Fon is not a ISP, it uses what you already have at home to amplify it and use it as a hotspot. 

It doesn't stop there: Fonera is a small NAS, that can perform different actions independently from your computer. Fonera is indeed the first independent gadget that I own. While you go to work or school, fonera is at home doing geeky things for you, using your broadband while your not at home. This means that you don't have to leave your PC on all day and night to upload a video, download via Rapidshare or Megaupload, and even download torrents.  Of course, you can plug any device and share it over the network, including hard drives. Other features are in development.
Fonera 2.0n is a new upgrade on the previous model Fonera 2.0g. has greater WiFi range among other goodness. Specs here. Now it's black and green to remind us that it helps to reduce energy used.

When I received my Fonera 2.0n to my address in London, I wasn't very impressed with the packaging. Not only that, but apparently they couldn't manage to include a UK plug for the fonera and decided to include a travel power adaptor. Martin Varsavsky was cool enough to reply via twitter. Very nice touch. 

I don't want to go very deep in how to set it up because I'm not an expert. I plugged the fonera to the power socket and a ethernet cable (included) to my O2 Thomson WiFi router. That was easy.

Once the equipment is ready, you can see that your Wifi network is still there. You are able to use it with the same password. No need to set up anything. Then you have two other networks coming from the fonera: Private (My Place in my case) and FON_FREE (Public). The private one is for you to use, obvious, and through it you can access the fonera control panel, the dashboard. The public network can be used to share your WiFi for free or not. 

To access the Fonera Dashboard just type http://fonera, your private network password and username admin and you're in. 

This are my first impressions on the fonera. I have tried some of the features and so far Transmission is working fine. If there is interest I will write about it.

Final setup in Flickr
via flickr.com

I'm sharing with you one of my favourite flickr pictures that had relative popularity. This is where I blog from. Someone mentioned in the flickr comments that Jakob might not be the best desk chair. I know that and try to keep my back straight.

Now that I look at it, that Mighty Mouse looks already so outdated!
