Has anyone else experienced this problem? It seems like every time my Droid reboots it's taking a bit longer to mount the SD card and check it for errors. Is there something that can be done (i.e. formatting the card, running some sort of "repair" tool, etc.) to get it to mount quicker, or is...

The easiest way to ensure that piracy for your app is kept to a minimum would be to build a good app, and then not charge people an arm and a leg for it. It's all about perceived value. If people feel they're getting an outstanding app with great features at a bargain price, then most won't...

"Waist pouch.... The phone purse for men!" OK, now I'm picturing one guy wearing a phone pouch asking another: "Does this make me look fat?" :) :D

Nobody's buzzing in Washington, DC? Or am I missing something in Maps? All I have to do is select the Buzz layer to display them, right?

I've started randomly tweeting about a few things, and actually intend to start chatting about tech and gadgets... @clr007 Feel free to follow me.

I'd second Doggcatcher. I'm not really in love with any podcatcher app at this point, but Doggcatcher is as close to happy as I've been able to get.

Thanks Cory. This looks cool-- like Google Docs on steroids... (Which, of course, leads me to wonder when Google will start building support for Google Docs into Android... but that's another thread... ;) )

Voice Search is much better than Voice Dialer IMHO. Voice Dialer just brings up a list of phone numbers for the person... Voice Search actually opens a dialog that will call that person for you on the number you requested. randy-- are you sure that the number you're trying to call them on...

What app were you using to restore pictures OTA? I thought that the pictures taken with the phone were just stored on the SD card-- is there a way to have them backed up OTA as well (without obviously uploading them to Facebook, Picasa, etc., etc.)? EDIT: NM. I read "contact pics" in the...

I'd like to have Google add a feature that allows users to remotely turn on GPS and track phone location in real-time from their GMail account on the web. (Something similar to Latitude, but not able to be deactivated from the phone handset itself.) This would be very nice to have in the event...

That's disappointing, but understandable. I suppose they want to ensure that a substantial enough profit is made from each customer, thus the need to charge for a relatively unnecessary (at least in my case) voice service. Of course, if I was really concerned about how much I was spending with...

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but aren't there already other VOIP applications out for Android? If so, then what's the big deal-- aside from Verizon "officially" supporting/condoning it? I haven't played around with VOIP extensively on my Droid yet, but have been meaning to for a while as...

If you do this, and then change your Facebook syncing options, will the Facebook-only contacts be deleted from the phone? I'd hate to sync all contacts, then choose the option to only sync with contacts from elsewhere and still have to delete 700+ contacts on my own. That's the one problem with...

I started to think, "No, the Nexus One is..." but then realized that T-Mobile isn't necessarily the best network around, especially when compared to Verizon. If you're a physical keyboard option fan, and want a decent processor, and a "stock" phone, the Droid is the best Android-based phone...

Good prank. That would be yet another way of determining whether the manager was really a tech savvy person or just a wanna-be dropping a few words s/he overheard here and there... If the person is technical, it would still be funny and you both would get a bit of a laugh out of it.
