T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide? I think so!

It’s no secret that HTC and T-Mobile are working on a successor to last year’s myTouch 3G Slide.  Over the weekend, our friends at TmoNews got their hands on some images of the upcoming myTouch 4G Slide (aka the HTC DoubleShot).  We’ve known for a while that T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide would feature a QWERTY keyboard, dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, and an 800 x 480 resolution display, but this is the first time we have gotten a clear picture of what the phone will actually look like.





As you can tell from the pictures, the myTouch 4G Slide looks to be a composite of the original myTouch 3G Slide and the myTouch 4G.  The front of the myTouch 4G Slide features the same speaker grill, front-facing camera, myTouch logo, and button placement (yes the Genius button is still there) as the myTouch 4G while the slide-out QWERTY keyboard is nearly an exact replica of the original Slide.


I find it exciting that phones are being churned out faster, and with better hardware at a pace the iPhone cannot keep up with. Android will win, will always win. No offence to the Apple fanboys of course.

Amazon Appstore

Amazon officially released their very own application market for Google's Android mobile OS. It was released on March 22, 2011, it has become evident that Android is becoming vastly superior to iOS due to the openness and expand-ability of it and the tightly closed door of iOS. It may seem minute that another Appstore has been released, but this means competition. And that is a very good thing for android, and a bad thing for iOS.

On another note, the appstore. It has a lot of nice features, and some bad ones, however if you can deal with the kinks and bugs you're in for a treat. One great thing that I love about this Appstore is it has a paid app for free, every day. Once you download it you own the license for that app, so you can delete it and re-install it as many times as you please.

Keep in mind, you can only use this appstore if you have the ability to install apps from an unknown source. AT&T does not allow that, because they are evil. There is an alternative so don't fret, you can root your device (in a sense this is like jailbreaking the iPhone, to an extent) which is usually painless and harmless.

Name change reasoning.

I decided to change the blog title to a different name. I feel like the "n" rather than "and" is more attractive. Plus it'll be easier to tell all your friends and family to check out "Droids n iPhones"!

Best regards, Timmy.

I'm back!

It's been awhile! I was honestly expecting this to happen without any effort, however it's become painfully obvious to me that it isn't quite as easy as expected. Although I am excited to tell you guys (or gals) that I am prepared to put my full attention towards this blog and take it seriously..

Stay Tuned, Timmy
