hehe.. it seems like it. Didn't mean to make it sound like I was yelling at you or anything.. just pointing out that it's probably not as uncommon as you probably think anymore.

Haha... I have much thicker skin than that! That was more of a 'tweet'...

It's like the Windows Phone 7 launcher, only better (IMO). It's highly stylish, very flexible, and introduces scrolling (like WP7) instead of mutliple homescreens.

Ah, I love innovation. I might actually give this a shot... had I a handset...

That's pretty cool, its like another/new MIUI ROM. I can't really nitpick any faults with it since I don't speak Japanese and since I cant get over that annoying music oh ooh ououh ooh ouh oouh oouououohhHhhhHHhhh!

Here's an interesting development. Next Issue Media has released an app for top magazine purchase on Verizon Galaxy Tabs:

I feel Verizon's hand in this pot, but I expect this exclusivity will be short lived and other devices (including tablets) will have access soon.

I wonder if the APK will work on other devices?

EDIT: this is apparently an early preview that will be available to all devices shortly! Wow!

Coming to Android:

ThinkFlood Wireless remote:

Still in beta, but useful for those that want to turn their devices into universal remotes.

Google has acknowledged the security issue in Android, and a server-side fix is rolling out today:

Hopefully the breach is fixed. I'm glad to see Google taking such diligent action on this.

Here's a great toy, previously restricted to the iPhone: AR Drone.

Pilot this quadrocopter using your Android device!

Here is some (unverified) software:

Here is a link to the official drone site:

There is no official support, but it seems that developers have been cooking up solutions. Nothing seems out-of-the-box simple, though.

I saw this in the news today. My reaction was to half-lid my eyes, twirl my finger in the air and state, "Woopdie deeoooooo" :P That's not an app I'm expecting to ever install.. and I doubt most people would be buying Tabs or Androids for it. :P It's not a killer app. heheh

Come on media--announce BIG things!
