'Never Leave 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!
Ha! NFC stickers, not NFS. I'm looking here [link] and I can think of two applications right away--one for a phone mount in the car for car mode, Waze, etc, and one for the back of my tablet so I can turn on the wifi hotspot on my phone (the Note tablet does not have NFC, sadfacedly).
Anyone out there using it? I'll probably start with Tasker.
Those are way cool.
I am falling down a rabbit hole of theoretical applications. Android limits the functionality to working when the screen is unlocked, but apparently there are workarounds (that involve rooting), which would be extra amazeballs. You can put some in your clothes and they'll survive laundering!
I'm still trying to work up the mental energy to root my phone.
I have zero excuses left. I'm not going to custom ROM it, I just want to be able to manage it more thoroughly. But my eyes keep glazing over...
I really like PocketCasts on Android
What does it have that makes it better than the free ones? (I have only listened to podcasts through Apple channels so far)
I bought it about 3 years ago (less than a month after getting my first android phone) at a deep discount, so I don't really remember. I just really like its interface and the customization it offers in terms of auto-downloads (some podcasts I autodownload everything and keep them all, some I autodownload but only keep the latest 5, some I don't autdownload at all and stream or download on demand, etc.) And it now syncs "listened" information across devices, so my Nook and phone stay in sync.

I wish I could work out how to have iTunes do this for me across my Apple ID store logins. I mean, it's supposed to be me on all the machines, right? But the read position from my iPod never seems to wend its way (it's synced with the PC) to the Mac (which only has my purchased items on it).
On the offchance, it wouldn't happen to sync with desktop OSes, would it? Just between the tablet and phone would be a start, but...
This is a minor issue as long as I have few podcasts, but I'm intending to put a device mount in my car as well as an iPod hookup, and catching up with WTNV has left me hungry for more.

Woot!
AND my birthday money arrived today too. IT'S A SIGN.
That's some good news indeed.
