Keep the Pep in your Droid

Does your Android phone run slow at times, or
do you get frustrated with it not being "as fast as it used to be". 

Well if this is the case, you may want to try a few tricks to help speed things up... 

Samsung / Android / Sprint / T-Mobile

Samsung looking to launch an All Touch Android Phone for Sprint and T-Mobile in '09 

That's right everybody, it looks like Samsung is going to pick up Android and run with it, to the US !!!

 

They are looking for a Q2 '09 launch of an Android based phone, with minimal buttons, under Sprint and T-Mobile.  Apparently, the touch-screen phone is rumored to follow the likes of the Instinct and Omnia.  There aren't too many details at this time. 

 

Documents to Go for Android !

 

Earlier this year DataViz released Docs to Go for BlackBerry.

And now, DataViz will be bringing Documents To Go and RoadSync to the Android platform in 2009!

Android makes the call --- on its own?

Just like the rest of us "Netjunkies" it seems the Android platform can't stay away from being connected.

Which is Great News for those that haven't yet grabbed up their G1 yet, or are just now getting theirs.  

But, as for the rest of us "early-adopters" we might have to try some sweet talk to get HTC or T-Mobile to send us one (free of course).  Several people are reporting to have gotten the adapter in with the new phones shipping now.

Adobe Flash Player on Mobile Platforms (starting with Windows, then onto others)

Adobe's Flash Player is used all over the web to dazzle us into clicking on ads, or just wow as with the creativity of the interface and/or content... But up until now, the mobile browsers haven't been able to "come out to play" with the big boy computers in the internet playground.
