Droid

MightyBobo · 05-13-2010, 11:09 PM

I found a new App which I love. Key Ring Reward Cards by Froogloid, LLC.

If you have a lot of reward zone-type cards (think like Best Buy or American Eagle) that either rack up points or simply give you a discount, it will let you scan the barcodes (or you can enter manually if you prefer) and organize them in your phone.

Then, when you go to the store, you open the app, find the store you're in, and it re-creates the barcode for the cashier to scan. Just in case the scan isn't working (cleaning the screen helps), it'll also re-create the number itself for the cashier to manually enter.

It made my wallet thinner

And how awesome is that? Anything Android 2.2 will have USB tethering built in for free, along with the ability to turn your phone into a WiFi hot spot.

Has anyone got their droid to transfer contact via bluetooth yet? I thought 2.1 enabled this function?

Trips · 05-21-2010, 12:42 PM

I'm waiting for the fix!!

jikhead · 05-21-2010, 04:47 PM

I have the new Incredible and although I haven't BT'th a contact file...I have BT'th a picture to test it and that worked fine.

I am liking the build in tethering, rarely need it but it is nice to have.
5 home screens is wonderful, can stop using that program (seems to crash once a week for me).

are we able to connect via usb to any headunits and stream pandora yet?

According to the spec sheet? It looks disappointing. Only a 750mhz processor (ours is ~600mhz), which is weak. Almost anything coming out now is a Snapdragon (1.0ghz). I cant help but wonder why they are only going with a 750...

Other than that, the keyboard is much nicer (since our D-pad was worthless). WiFi Tethering is coming to anything running 2.2 I believe.

Im not blown away - I'll happily be waiting for my New Every Two to come up before I get something, and it WILL be something with LTE.
