The latest version of Firefox was made available today. Firefox 3.5. I should be excited as it boasts faster speeds. When Safari released its latest version, I was impressed by its speed. It seemed fast even on my slow internet connection. I really wanted to use it. But the add-ons of Firefox kept me there. I just love Firefox.
Well, I'm not that excited about the so called faster Firefox because it seems to load up my web pages at the same speeds and the sample video on "Here's what is new" webpage took a while to load up. And the sad news is that not all my add-ons are compatible with Firefox 3.5.
The one I am missing the most right now is Coffee Cup. With one click it would load up a bunch of web pages I wanted to read that day. And i can program it to load up different websites depending on the day of the week. So, on Monda, Tuesday, and Firday it will load up in one of many tabs XKCD.com and not load it up on days it doesn't update - like Tuesdays and Thrusdays - which really is how I keep track of what day of the week it is 
If you are a Firefox fan, download the latest version and tell me if you see some improvements.
I remember people complaining that when apple claimed that their iPhone browser gave the full web experience, it was a lie because it didn't offer Flash. In fact, in the UK a few iPhone ads were taken off the air because of this - truth in advertising and all.
Since, I keep hearing complaints about the lack of Flash on smartphone webbrowsers. Well, yesterday Adobe announced that Flash would be coming to smartphones. Exciting stuff, right? I've heard some technical mumbo-jumbo as to why Flash will not be headed to the iPhone.
So, i figure I will patiently wait for flash - it's not like there is any main website I go to that has flash and really the flash players on sports sites I visit are kinda annoying as it is. And flash ads not shoing up isn't really a problem, if you catch my drift.
But then today, it was announced that Flash isn't just coming, it is here on the latest HTC phone HERO. HERO is the latest phone running Android OS. It runs the current v1.5 software but has a UI integrated [which is really a bunch of widgets] and it looks slick so people are exciteed about it.
Will i jump ship for a new phone because of this? No, of course not. But I will wait with a bit more anticipation for Flash to be reaching my phone.
It's not about the crime. It is about the lawyer.
I clicked a link this morning that showed a bit of irony in that one could get an iPhone cheaper by using Bing. Or is that "Bing!"?Anyway, it made me smile.
And what may be good news, it looks like the FCC is going to investigate phone manufacturers working out unique and exclusive deals with mobile phone providers. This can only be a good thing as being locked down to a certain provider can suck.

I cleaned my apartment today. It looks different clean.
I doubt it will last long but I will try.
I think I may be spending too much time messing with my phone. I got the G1 running Android software a few weeks ago and am constantly serching the web for more tricks and apps and even wallpapers for the phone.
I've forced the latestest OS update - without hacking my phone (or rooting my phone as it is called - I did not root my phone!) - and I am pretty happy with it.
It doesn't do email as well as my blackberry did. And it's battery life is just awful - but not as bad as some reports (no one irl has shown that it has 1/3rd the life of the iPhone) - and I seem to obsess about the battery life ... a lot. I have three apps on my phone right now that help monitor and conserve battery life and am always looking for more. Since I work at a battery store, I have gotten a spare battery and now have a hi-capacity battery on order.
So much else I love about the phone. A bit too much maybe.What are the apps that I use the most and like? Well, let us be clear that the Android market is not as robust as iThe iPhone iStore iIs but it does have a lot of apps. I like chompsms for my texting. And K-9 for my mail. Twidroid for my twitter [yes, i said I wouldn't get a twitter app but I did and love it - props and runner up is twit2go].Shazam is magical - seriously - and available on most smart phones. And shopSavvy is entertaining. Where seems pretty darn good but has failed me a few times.
And do not get me started on my wallpaper apps. Storks and stupid seascapes is all you will hear about.
