A big reason I stick with Android is because I like to customize. I love the ability to make stuff my own, and Android allows me to make my stock device, well, mine. As most people who have dabbled with Android OS, the sky is truly the limit, even on unrooted devices.
The cool part is the possibility of numerous home screens. Different manufacturer skins paired with third party launchers (Apex, Go, Nova, SPB, LPP etc) and you have some serious magic going on.
I wasn’t satisfied with using multiple pages to store a gazillion apps. I got used to splitting my pages into categories — like Entertainment, Utilities, Travel etc. — and packed them full with widgets. But then, I had to take the time to manage widgets, and frankly, swiping through seven screens really didn’t slice nanoseconds off of just going into the app-drawer. I messed around with different launchers, and fell in love with SPB Shell 3D, which was pure eye-candy. Eventually, I craved theming, and took a break from it.

The 2012 year shown a radical increase in mobile devices from the traditional desktop and laptop devices and therefore a whole new market for the taking.

Joulebug officially launched at the beginning of October, and still has a ways to go. Android is listed as “coming soon”, and the iOS version is designed for iPhones with an ugly 2x scaling on iPads. Yet despite the ‘beta’ feel of the app, it holds a good deal of promise.

Ever wonder how much profit is in those expensive (or inexpensive) tablets? Prices keep dropping, but how low will they go before they bottom out?
In India, the most popular tablet you can buy has been at a price point around $120. That’s pretty cheap for most of us who are used to shelling out $300-500 or more for a tablet. But in a country where poverty is widespread, $120 still ends up excluding a large percentage of the market. That’s why Suneet Tuli has analyzed the costs and found a way to produce a tablet for just $20!
I love the idea of several Christian-oriented nerds discussing in a very informal setting tech of some sort that may be beneficial for churches, bloggers, missionaries, and any other kind of ministry out there. To do this well, we are going to have hangouts every other Saturday (or so) at 10AM EST that will be On Air for all to see live and then we will be posting the YouTube video on ChurchMag.
You can find the link dump and details about the next hangout following our latest hangout video:
