How to Tether on Android
Posted on January 30, 2010 | No Comments
If you have read my posts before you have probably noticed how I always rave about Android's application market. This thing really dominates. I found a cool application today called "PDA Net". PDA Net allows you to tether on your Android phone.
PDA Net offers a free and paid version. The free version doesn't allow you to visit sites with a https:// address. So really, if you are not logged in to your Youtube, for instance, you will not be able to log in while on PDA Net. You should keep signed in before you board the plane or leave the house just so you won't run into problems. The paid version lets you browse the net without any limitations.
PDA Net is really simple to install. It requires you to install an application on your Android phone (find on the market place) and one on your computer. It will ask you to go into your phone's settings to check a box off, having to do with USB Defragging. After that you will connect your phone, open the Android application and you will be connected to the internet.

Community: What Android Applications Do You Use?
Posted on January 12, 2010 | No Comments
If you keep up with my posts on TechXav you have probably noticed my unhealthy obsession with Google and Android. Really, the main thing I do on this network is Google, and Android to be specific. I am the only one who has an Android phone (I think). It would only make sense to tell you what applications I have on my Droid Eris, Android 1.5. This list doesn't include the pre-installed applications, like Amazon MP3. All below are free.

Posted on January 6, 2010 | No Comments
Today at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), Motorola held a pretty short press conference, but gave some good information.
Every Android device out will soon be getting a firmware update to Android 2.1. Android 2.1 will be what is on the Nexus One, and it looks pretty cool. The update will include Flash. Flash will work amazing on these phones, in my opinion. There was talk about new Android phones released in China, he didn't really go into detail.
