New Google Phone

Looks like Google may market their own phone. They recently gave their employees the new phone to test!

I want one! It looks so cool! Rumor has it they may sell it directly to consumers unlocked!

Tigerphone

All this technology. Phone Grandma in Korea while surfing the web and give her turn by turn driving instructions to Yellowstone(lying here). Everything at your fingertips. Space tourism. Probing Mars. Diving the Titanic. Climbing Everest is a tourist attraction. That guy working on a flying car. What I don't get is:

• Why can't I microwave food by pointing my cellphone at it and saying "cook"?
• Why can't I taze someone I don't like with my cellphone?
• Why isn't my cellphone also a retractable dog leash?
• Why isn't my cell phone a Swiss Army Knife?
• Wheres the laser pointer?
• It's not a passport?
• Boarding pass?
• Carve a pumpkin?
• Skin a deer?
• Change a tire?
• Open my house door?

I really don't care or want to skin a deer with my phone. What I really want to know, with all the money and technology and genius we have, why can't a cell phone cover Tigers tracks?

What, I'm Tiger Woods! I can't buy a cell phone and have somebody hack it so Elin sees my "normal" address book when she looks at it and I type, say, "wood" in and there are my 11 girlfriends? No brainer, right? This has cottage industry written all over it. " Sir, would you be interested, perhaps, in the "Tigerphone".(tm). "It's really two phones in one." The "home" phone and the "away" phone. It looks like any other phone! It's like truckers keeping two driving logs or accountants with two books. The Tigerphone(tm). Get "yours" today!

Verizon Droid does the dishes too!

So Verizon has a new phone coming out called "droid". Wow, how creative. It's based on Googles "android". Why not hemorrhoid (to painful) or adenoid (pain) or, and I like this one, "steroid"(too strong)! Click Droid for Verizons site about their new baby.

Engadget has a article about it here.


I looked at the source of Verizons site and it says all kinds of wonderful things about the droid:
under description they said;

Droid Does Video;
Droid Does Tunes;
Droid Does Multitasking;
Droid Does Hi-Res;
Droid Does Speech Recognition;
Droid Does Apps;
Droid Does High Speed;
Droid Does Android;
Droid Does Directions

Wow! Droid does a lot. Mary wants to know if it will do the dishes? Oh, Apple? Start shaking in your boots!
And under Keywords Verizon had this to say:

Verizon Wireless Droid,
Droid Phone,
Verizon Wireless Android Phone,
Motorola Droid Phone,
verizon,
verizon wireless,
Droid Does

Nothing earth shaking there.

Slippery Brick had this to say about the droid called "sholes" here, don't know why, maybe a code word.

And Mobile Whack seems to think it'll come out on October 30! Cool!

One more site verizon-phones.org has it coming out for Christmas. Thats too late, we want some action now.


I like the look of the phone and especially the slide out keyboard. With the verizon network and all the cool features this may be the new king of the hill.
