Finally, do they get it?

Pure Breeze Launcher

Wow, I think Samsung is the first company to go the way I believe all Android cell phone makers should go. They made a skin and put it on the market. I have had many different blogs and each time I have typed on and on about how the companies should start selling skins on the market and leave their phones pure untouched vanilla stock Android. Now, it's not the best and just like the skins they force on their phones, people are not going to like the skin, but it is a start and people can choose not to buy it. Most Android cell phone companies create skins for their phones. Most buyers seem to complain about them (minus HTC users). Motorolla has probably gotten the most critizism for their damn blur, I had the original Cliq (complete headache). Thank god Google bought them, maybe their skin will only be a small "blur" in the early stages of Android. Something we all can forget. Now that Samsung has posted their "skin" on the market, maybe it will be one less forced skin that we will not have to deal with anymore. Those that want it can give Sammy some extra cash for their burden. I don't care how much the skins suck, I probably won't ever use them. Every time I try one I delete them within a few days. I want more options of phones. Yea, there are many Android phones out there but I want stock and options for those seem to be shrinking. Come on companies, you're paying too much to not realize Android users prefer stock or HTC's sense, everyone else quit it!

Wow, talk about impressive! This home screen replacement app is just simply amazing. I haven't seen any others as EXtensive. Between scrolling twitter and re-sizable widgets, it's everything that Motoblur wanted to be. I'm sure people would be willing to pay good money for this bad boy, but they actually have it free on the market. Go check it out, install it, play with it, do what you will, and enjoy!

Not Call Log - Paid

This is not a very extensive application, but it is greatly usefully. After calls it sends the phone either back to what you were working on or to something else you choose to have it send. For example, I have my phone go to the home screen after hanging up. There are many different options depending on whether you made the call or it was an incoming call.  There is also a free version available, but hey a dollar ain't much to support a great developer.

Dragon Fly!











With an App market flooded with games, it's hard to find a game that I typically keep installed for more than a day. Simply put, if it isn't Peggle, Plants Vs Zombies, or an emulator, it just doesn't hold my attention. Being a guy that likes to turn on his Xbox 360 daily, even if it's to play a quick game of fruit Ninja, I consider myself an avid gamer. That being said, I walked through my workplace and happened to chance upon someone playing this game, Dragon Fly.

The concept is simple enough, you are being chased by your mamma, because you have escaped from your nest. Seeing as you are still a baby, you have yet to grasp the concept of flying, so you have to use hills as momentum, swooping down, then flying upward hill after hill. Simple right? Well the creator has thrown in challenges that once completed, will increase the level of your dragon. Some of them are simply reaching a level, while some are a little more challenging such as collecting 100 diamonds.

One of the more interesting aspects of the game is the fact that the levels change every day. So if you find yourself unable to finish a challenge, simply wait until tomorrow, and try again. So if you are unable to collect those 100 diamonds today, tomorrow there may be a level filled with more diamonds.

My final verdict is that this game is definitely worth a try, especially since it is free. While it doesn't have the staying power of Angry Bords, or Plants Vs Zombies. It is most def worth a few plays.
