Android Smart phones

I'll definitely download Flash 10.1 today. Maybe not for the reasons you mentioned, Scott, but I'll still get it :P

I haven't tried Doubletwist yet, mainly because I have about 13GB of music on my computer. That doesn't sound like a lot, but that's somewhere in the range of 10k songs. So I'm not sure if I want to put all my music on my phone. Especially when I have my iPod right here that holds a charge WAY longer than any phone.

I did a battery test yesterday too. I used it regularly throughout the day, and the battery only went down about a quarter. Then I left it off the charger over night. And the battery is only down about half way.

I'm convinced people are NOT using the Advanced Task Killer and they're letting applications run ALL the time. When we bought our phones at BestBuy, they sales person immediately told us to download Advanced Task Killer to save the battery.

So I don't think anybody should worry about the battery on this phone, its not out of the realm on most other smartphones.

Btw, my name is spelled Jeanna. I KNOW, its lame. Don't mean to be all "spell my name right biatch" but, I hate "Gina", makes me think of the woman from 40-Year Old Virgin, and she pronounces it like the back half of the word "vagina".

I like that ThickButtons app, its very useful.

Sorry Gina

If you get a chance can you run the same test some day without advanced task killer. I used "taskiller" since I bought my phone which is similar to atk but I think it's better (try both) - it has a one icon widget that kills everything except what you exempt and tells you the amount of RAM you free up.

There is a ongoing debate within the Android community: does a task killer actually use more energy attempting to save battery life over the built in application management in Android? I have found it to be a toss up on my phone. I uninstalled taskiller a few weeks ago and I get about the same battery life. On Michelle's Eris she uses it because that phone is slow in general and it frees up RAM.

When Froyo (2.2) is released it includes music streaming from your home computer..... that's going to be pretty cool.
