This is fantastic. Friday, I got my Sprint HTC Evo 4G. A magnificent phone. There are issues with it, which may force me to return it to Sprint after the 1 month trial. Full refund. And if I do decide to give up on Android for now, there is the iPhone 4 available on 6/24. So, since I will be on one or the other by the end of the month, I went ahead and sold my existing iPhone 3GS on ebay. Sold within 5 minutes for the same price I will pay for the new iPhone 4! $300. Check out Engadget for a quick comparison.
I was really looking forward to the Nexus One phone. I used a Droid Eris (also an HTC phone) a few months ago and loved the phone, except for the battery life (much worse than my iPhone) and the fact that it was on Verizon (no reception at work). See my review of the Droid Eris. When I heard of the Nexus One, I hoped that it would be a major step-up from the Droid Eris, since it was Android 2.1, with built-in Exchange integration and all the latest OS goodness from Google. Unfortunately, it is missing a bunch of features. Read more for the blow-by-blow.

I am eyeing the new HTC Desire Android phone. If it comes to AT&T, I will be seriously tempted away from my iPhone. I did some searching to see what the App landscape looks like these days. I listed all the applications that I use often on my iPhone and searched for Android options. Click through to see what I came up with.

Now this looks like a nice design. Not sure of the resolution, but the new Edge (to be announced on January 5 at CES) looks like a winner. Check out the link to see some specs and more pictures. 13.3 inches seems like a better bet than the 10.1 inch Lenovo S10 that I have been using and loving so far.
Marcel won this magnificent lesson at a silent auction and invited me to join Layne, Mike, and Jarl for this flight simulator lesson in the KC-10 at Travis Air Force Base.
We spent about 3 hours in the KC-10 simulator (a training simulator for the DC-10) taking turns flying with the instructor, traveled to San Francisco, under the Golden Gate Bridge, to Hawaii, to icy Alaska and back. The most incredible was Mike trying to refuel in the air. It is quite a sensation when you actually crash a DC-10.

I bought an HTC Droid Eris (on Verizon) this week-end… just to play with it and to decide whether Android was a threat to the iPhone. This phone still runs Android 1.5 so there will probably be quite a few changes once 2.0/2.1 gets released for this phone. The cool thing about the Eris HTC’s Sense UI. They built Exchange integration for Android and they also created a whole slew of applications making the handset really useable (much more so than a raw Android handset). Read on to see my favorite features and my main gripes. Sneak Peak… I returned this phone within the 1 month trial period.
I’ve been pretty happy with my Lenovo S10 Netbook, and furnished it with a 320GB hard drive and 2GB RAM. It is great for travel, even though I tend to plug it into an external monitor wherever I can since 600 pixels is just not enough to work on spreadsheets (even though it works well for email…). But at home in front of my 1920x1200 monitor, I missed the performance of a high-powered machine. So I bought a desktop computer:
