The Android Phone – Top Three Apps

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

There are many apps (applications) that you can download through the “market” icon of your G1 Android Phone. This list can help guide you as to which apps you might want to download.

1. Quickpedia – This is a free app that lets the user browse Wikipedia on the Google Android phone. Viewing Wikipedia pages with this app is easier than attempting to view them without it, as the app optimizes the pages for the Android phone’s small display screen. You can also use the Quickpedia to search for articles that might interest you. With its easy-to-navigate user interface, browsing Wikipedia becomes a breeze. The app also lets the user save the text of the Wiki to the phone’s SD(secure digital card, or memory card). You can use its “nearby” feature to find Wikipedia articles about locations near you. By using the “popular” tab, you can also find out what other Quickpedia users are looking for.

2. Ringdroid – This was one of the first batch of apps to be released for the T-Mobile G1 phone. It lets users create ring tones from songs they already have in their phones. Or, a user can choose to record his own sounds. Although it is one of the older, first-generation apps, it still is one of the most downloaded. It works like a simplified Audacity. There’s a time line on the screen, and users can zoom in to place start and end marks on it. Once they are sure of the segment, they can save it, to create a ringtone, a notification, an alarm, or an edited tune. It is very user-friendly, and can turn anyone into a sound technician.

3. Fbook – This is the unofficial Facebook app for the Android phone. Just about everyone I know has at least a Facebook account. The fact is, if you must choose from all the social networking web sites around, Facebook is probably one of your first choices. Fbook optimizes Facebook’s iPhone website for the Android Phone. It also allows users to upload their photos directly from their phones to their Facebook accounts. Even if the app is closed, users receive notifications when updates are made by their friends.

These are just three of the Google Android phone apps that have been found to be quite helpful for daily use. There are a lot more apps out there. Maybe you have your own favorites, that aren’t on this list. What are your favorite apps? Let us know about them.

Refurbished Cell Phones – Environmentally Friendly?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Everywhere you look – in the news, in the community, even in popular advertising campaigns – the environment is a hot topic. People everywhere are looking for ways to “go green” and are learning that they can make more environmentally friendly decisions in nearly every area of their life. Surprisingly, those high-tech devices that we all can’t seem to leave home without are no exception. Yes, you can make eco-friendly decisions with your cell phone. I’m not talking about switching to paperless billing (although that is a good idea, too), though. What I’m talking about is used cell phones. Used cell phones help reduce waste and the pollution associated with manufacturing new cell phones. When you consider that over 100 million cell phones are replaced every year in the US alone, you can see the huge potential for an impact that we have. The biggest problem with cell phones comes to light when we go to dispose of them. Cell phones, like most electronics, do not belong in landfills. They don’t biodegrade and they contain chemicals in them that can be harmful of they make their way in to the soil, waterways, or even the air via incineration.

So, what can we do? Not surprisingly, it’s as simple as applying the old “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” adage to our cell phone usage as well. Here’s how:

Cell phones are certainly handy devices, and it seems that new phones with newer (and better?) features come out every week. This leads to a huge number of people constantly upgrading their phones for newer models. We all like to have the latest and greatest technology in our hands, but the downside of this habit/obsession is that it produces a lot of waste that ends up in places like landfills, where it doesn’t belong. To help fight this issue, I encourage you to reduce the frequency in which you purchase a new cell phone. Granted, some phones break or get lost and must be replaced, but if you’re one of those people that gets a new phone every 6 months just because, you should consider reducing your turnover rate. If we all held on to the phone that we have for 6 months longer than we want to, we can have a huge impact on the environment in the form of less toxic waste.

Second, when you do need to replace a lost or broken phone, don’t immediately drive down to your local cellular provider’s store. Instead, look in to phones in the used or refurbished cell phone market. Often, you can find the exact same phone that you want to purchase at your vendor’s store in the used market. However, purchasing a refurbished Verizon cell phones cuts down on waste AND saves you money. A win/win.

Last but not least, when you replace an old phone, make sure you take the necessary steps to recycle your old phone. As I said above, used cell phones do not belong in the garbage. Instead, take advantage of the numerous cell phone disposal/recycling programs available in your area that will either dispose of the phone in an environmentally friendly way or will take the phone and donate it to somebody that will get use out of it (e.g. to the program that sends phones to overseas soldiers to use to call home).

So, the next time you think you need a new phone, ask yourself why you’re considering a new one and keep the above in mind. Remember that “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” applies to cell phones as well. Not only will you be able to save yourself some money (by purchasing refurbished Alltel Blackberry), but you’ll also be able to do another small thing to help our depleting environment.
