Opera Mini 5: Android App Review

Personally, as a year long Android user I have to say that I am particularly amazed at how great the Android OS has come along in this past year. Wednesday morning, the company that has created the somewhat popular Opera browser have released their beta version of their new Opera Mini Browser for the Android OS. It has been known for quite some time how the default internet browser on android devices are lacking in substance. It would seem that Opera has stepped up and proven that their Opera Mini 5 Beta browser is a contestant amongst the few popular browsers on the Android OS such as the Dolphin Browser. Here is a video of my review of the Opera Mini 5 Browser for Android, hope you enjoy!

T-Mobile G1: DOA?

Are you one of the lucky people to own the coveted T-Mobile G1? Unfortunately for you, there has been some breaking news compliments of Android's software engineer Dave Sparks. According to his Twitter, Dave Sparks announced there might not be an update to the G1. What?! Yes, it's true. Apparently HTC didn't give the G1 enough storage, so an update is physically impossible for the phone.  HTC, what were you thinking?  How can you compete in a market full of iPhones and Blackberries and never consider giving your device enough storage?  Were you so confident that you thought Google would never have to update the software?

I don't know about you, but I'm really let down by this news. In my opinion, Google was well on its way to global domination with Google Docs, Voice, and seemingly the G1, but this is a step in the wrong direction. I thought the G1 was a real contender to the iPhone, but how can a stale item compete with something that is constantly updating? Oh that's right, it can't. Google, HTC, and T-Mobile, I hope if the three of you choose to make another phone, you consider the future and give it a decent amount of storage.
