I am a technology geek. I love gadgets as well as the opportunity to use the latest devices in the most fashionable manner. Since my wallet only affords this luxury from time to time, I fortunately have lots of gadget happy friends who allow me to explore their new toys as if they were my own. Playing with new technology always glazes my eyes; just like my dog, as he stares down sausage and bacon.
My latest fascination includes two phones: The Motorola Droid 2 and the iPhone 3Gs. Yes, I do realize that there are many generic debates regarding these phones. People get freakishly odd and often engage in frantic conversation in a similar manner to those of us whom stir heated debates about sex, politics, and religion. There's a strange sense of pride, with overtones of superiority complexities while maintaining a snobbishness that I usually associate with cigar lovers, wine aficionados, and the loonies who insist that Philadelphia offers the most genuine Seattle coffee drinking experience.
The above personality profile is the antithesis of my take on the two phones. I think they both offer really super cool mobile computing experiences.

I have a strong appreciation for the Mac's user experience. There is something that feels as though their products were designed for me. Simple, effective, reliable. As a Mac user, the phone made sense to me immediately. There was no adjustment period for learning how to use the iPhone. I think that something special pulls together in products made by companies that control both the hardware and software aspects of the device.
I really like the Android platform. I like the software modifications that Motorola offers with their Droid 2. Most specifically, I like their social networking applications. I'm a huge fan of Twitter, as well as Facebook. I am constantly sending emails. I am constantly sending text messages. I love Motorola's widgets that let you take advantage of all these services within one application. It maintains a log of your accounts, and interfaces with all of the services so you don't have to load multiple programs or web pages.
In the following days, you will find rants and rambles regarding each device. The topics you will revolve around product and software reviews, comparisons, tips and tricks, and frequently asked questions.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading - and stay tuned!
