Make your Traveling easier with an Android Phone

March 11th, 2010 Admin No Comments »

Most of the best things about the new revolution that is happening in the world of technology is mostly happening in the cell phone arena. We have turned our cell phones from little communication devices, to full on workstations. Now, you are able to carry a device that has the power of a computer from a few years ago in your pocket. The amount of things that can be done with this kind of power is extraordinary. Some of the phones leading the way in this smart phone revolution are phones based on the android operating system. With the smooth touch screen interface, you are able to do multiple things on the phone while you are away from the office. This is what makes phones such as these, great to travel with. Let’s go over a couple of reasons why you would do well using an android phone while you travel to distant places.

The first reason why you would want an Android phone for your traveling needs, is the service providers problem. Where the iPhone only allows phones to be legally connected to the ATT network, with an Android, you can use several different service providers. To get similar functionality out of the iPhone, you must have a phone that is jail broken. The Android phone providers also offer great network coverage for your data plans. You can access the internet no matter how far out you are. Where ATT has gotten complaints, especially with their data usage in major cities, if the carrier that you are with is not satisfactory, then you can just switch to another one.

Make Your Android Phone More Enjoyable with Free Multiplayer Games

March 5th, 2010 Admin No Comments »

The amount of applications and games made for Android phones increases, seemingly, minute by minute.  Even so, there are still not many multiplayer games available for the Android Operating System, but there are some.  We’ve managed to find three that we think you will like.

Sketch Online is loosely based on Pictionary.  It is played in a chat room.  In the beginning, you need to choose a screen name, pick a picture, and then choose a room.  The rooms are partitioned by language and topics like animals, objects, etc.

Each player gets an item to sketch as the game progresses.  You can choose your brush size, colors, and several tools that you can use to create an image.  You can even wipe your screen and start over, if you make a mistake.  The answer to your sketch is hidden until the round ends.  When other players are sketching, you get your chance to guess.  If you guess correctly, you and the sketch artist get points.  The game moves along with players taking turns sketching and guessing.

Sketch Online for Android phones is free, with ads, or you can pay $1.50 for the ad-free version.

Cestos is a multiplayer marble game for your Android phone.  Each player controls the speed and direction of their marble.  Cestos features different maps, along which your marble will travel.  There are obstacles and hazards associated with each map.  Once the players have locked in the direction and momentum of their marbles, they are all set loose simultaneously.  The result is chaotic and highly entertaining.  Cestos is an easy game to play, but there is enough of a strategic element to keep it interesting.  The more players you can get onboard at once, the better the round. You can download Cestos free of charge for your Android phone.

Parallel Kingdoms is a multi-player role playing game.  The exceptional feature of Parallel Kingdoms is that it is played by overlapping real time Google maps.  Parallel Kingdoms is played at your physical location.  Your locality is constantly being updated from your GPS position.  Your character can move in a small radius without you having to physically change location, but if you want your character to move farther, you will have to get up and go to the location.  The game allows players to collect different items on the map and claim Kingdoms.  It is free to download.

3 Points to Consider When Using Online Reverse Phone Lookup Services

December 22nd, 2009 Admin No Comments »

If you’re like most people, chances are that your phone logs are filled with numbers that you don’t remember. Using a good reverse phone lookup service is a great way to figure out exactly who’s calling and get more information on that number. It could be an old friend trying to reach you, an important business contact, or even a sales caller. There’s three things to look for in a good online reverse lookup service. The service is called reverse lookup for a reason: instead of typing in a person’s name like in traditional lookup programs, you actually type the number in directly to perform a phone trace. Here’s what you need to know.

First, you want to find a site with the largest database possible. A small database will do you no good, especially if they only pull from a few local databases. These days, people are more and more mobile, which can make it difficult to find the person you’re really looking for.

Next, you want to look for ease of use — a site that has too many options for search will only slow you down and confuse you before you even begin! Ease of use doesn’t mean lack of features or shorter listings — on the contrary, the results these sites return can be very detailed indeed. Common results include the person’s name, their location, the type of phone it is (mobile or landline), and an address if one can be located. Make sure that the name record you’re looking for really matches the person you’re trying to find.

Finally, look for a site that lets you make as many reverse lookups as you want. Limits are nice in theory, but when you really need to locate someone, you want to be able to take as many attempts to find them as it takes instead of being limited.

Overall, the entire process can be likened to a good detective’s job: working backwards through clues to uncover the truth. In this case, that’s the identity of that strange number found. With these above tips, you’ll have all the information you need to make the search as smooth as possible!

November 29th, 2009 Admin No Comments »

Have you reached the end of your cell phone contract, but are reluctant to sign up again for the outrageous fees?
