Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Seska, if the keyboard is important to you, definitely test-drive it before you buy. The tactile boundary between keys on the Droid is not well defined, making it difficult to tell if you are pressing your target key or the one next to it, or both. No doubt I'd be better at it if I practiced more, but the virtual keyboard works well for me.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well the voice-to-text feature works, but I haven't done anything more than play with it.
Good luck Sean. Hope it's something easy.
Thanks, dcp. Tried it out in the shop and was impressed, so got it. The keyboard sticks on opening a bit but otherwise it's great. And I'm loving how fast it downloads applications, and everything good that comes with Android 2.1.
I'm not sure what this is, but I figured that some of the Buffistas would appreciate it.
The Martin DIP Switch Calculator
With the help of a gift certificate for birthday, I got myself a Sony PRS600 e-reader. The killer feature for me is the ability to scribble on it with a stylus. This'll let me replace printing out stuff with the reader to a great degree, especially useful at the park and such. The printing I'll be avoiding could pay for the device eventually. So far that part works brilliantly.
I also have a couple of e-books on hold for download with the library, to use it for the intended purpose.
It's a very solid feeling device, but I would like a little bigger frame to make holding it a bit more natural. That said, I can hold it and turn pages with one hand, so maybe Sony knows what it's doing.
Has anyone messed around with Google Chrome OS? I've got it running in Parallels, now, but I am pretty sure I don't know how to use it to greatest advantage...

I had it running in Parallels too, but that was a year or more ago. I too wasn't sure what to do with it once I got it running.
Hm. Good to know.
I feel like this is a dumb question, but...
I recently somehow ended up with the Google Chrome browser on my computer. I've been trying it out and I like it but I can't get videos to play on it (or Pandora). I think I have installed Java and WMP(I'm not very adept with Windows machines), but still, no video.
What am I missing? And why would Google make a browser that doesn't just play video.
