Android

With the purchase of my first Android device, I wasn’t expecting to get drafted into the Android Army, but somehow it happened.

Maybe it was that little green robot, or the deliciously named updates, or the underdog mentality – whatever the case, the whole openness and cries of “Choice!” are as inspiring as a William Wallace’s, “Freeeeeeedommmmmm!”

With the latest dish of Google Froyo goodness being slowly rolled out with its fancy features like tethering and mobile hotspots (provided the service providers give them the nods), it’s an exciting time to be an Android user.

But not all is what it seems…

x3watch, the longstanding free Internet accountability application which we reviewed before, is now available for phones sporting the Android OS.

But wait, there’s more!

Whereas the PC, Mac, and iPhone versions of x3watch have a free “lite” version and a paid “pro” version, this new droid edition has a $4.99 entry fee to play, period. That being said, it does have a few distinct advantages over its iPhone sibling.

So if you’ve yet to pick sides in the iPhone vs. Droid showdown, or you are new to the droid and in the market for cool apps, you’ll want to check this out…

Naturally, the Android WordPress app is in this list for me.

Last week Facebook announced their release of the Android SDK which included a number of pieces of noteworthiness:

• Strong authentication using OAuth 2.0
• Making requests to the new Graph API
• Publishing stories back to Facebook via Feed forms

And more. In fact, much more – the SDK is more robust than the iPhone version which leads me to believe that we’ve only begun to see what’s possible with Android as a platform playground.

Sure, the current app still is a bit inferior but I’m guessing not for long.

Shameless.

Yes, I played “EverCrack.” I played World of WarCrack too. I’ve played a lot of MMORPGs and if I had the time I’d probably still be playing them.

Well, maybe going Droid will provide a way back home?
