Almost every phone these days has a digital camera built in. But what if you want more? You want better zoom, more precise shooting, or just manually adjusting the shutter speed or aperture? You can’t do that on every phone. So here’s a quick how to for picking a digital camera to use in the place of or in combination with you camera phone.
Ask yourself five questions -
1) What do I plan to take pictures of?
2) Where do I plan to use my camera?
3) How much control over the composition do I want?
Every time we pick turn on the tv, open a magazine, listen to the radio, or talk to other people we are constantly reminded of many situations where other people are suffering from debilitating disease such as cancer or kidney failure or has been the victim of an accident such as a major interstate pileup. The end result can at times be influenced by the willingness of others to give of themselves in the most personal ways. The demand for marrow, blood, plasma, and organs are much higher than the supply. According to US law or simply for medical reasons, some people are prohibited from giving. I can’t donate blood because I have a blood disorder but haven’t been told no for organ donation. We won’t get into the politics of some of the other restricted groups (that could be an entirely different and very long debate), but today’s focus is on why it’s important to give and how you can do so.
We all need more tools for productivity (and procrastination). These 8 apps are all available on both Android and iPhone platforms and prove to be useful for being on the move and keeping track of your business. Most don’t require signing up to use (a couple do even to test the app and we all know no one likes extra signing up or extra email).

Tomorrow, July 19, is Ellie’s birthday! In her honor, there will be a post each day this week, starting today (July 18). The topics will vary (including a new Android post!) but hopefully all will be something that is of use to you and yours. We ask that you recognize Ellie in your own way this week. If able, give your time and energy to a women’s shelter, a homeless shelter, a soup kitchen, blood or plasma donation center, or the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association or any other organization/group that needs help.
Thanks for continuing to read!

I know this post will be incredibly late in Android years, but after patiently awaiting the update to Android 2.2…AKA…FROYO, I must say that the update was worth the many hours spent contacting Samsung (I have a Vibrant) and laughing at conspiracy theory after another regarding Samsung’s or T-Mobile’s plan to screw everyone in buying a newer model.
From my last few weeks playing with it, the FROYO build is quite a bit faster than 2.1 and makes the media and internet browsing experience on my Vibrant more lively and pleasurable (thanks in large part to the Flash addition). The response time on the touch screen is better and I also find myself making fewer errors when I type. It is also important to note for T-Mobile readers, the Wifi calling addition and simple to use tethering features are well worth the time to master, especially if you are a regular traveler, like me.
With all those pluses, there are a few drawbacks:
1. There will be many application updates to tackle once you update
2. Your friends stuck with 2.1 or older (or the iPhone) will be envious and ultimately despise you
3. Depending on your service provider, you may not get Gingerbread until 2012.

Hi ya’ll!! *Waves* If you aren’t familiar with me, I am HarriMac, sister of blog owner and primary author Ellie. You may have noticed there haven’t been any updates to the blog for a while. Well, there’s a reason, albeit a sad one -
I’ve gotten this question twice in the past week, so I figured I should share this knowledge with the world. I’ve already discussed how to sync Android and Mac to copy files to/from your SD card. This is exclusively about Outlook. Read on!
CompanionLink (link) is the first app that I came across. This app syncs directly from Outlook to your Android. It syncs your email, contacts, tasks, etc. from Outlook. You must use your data cable and have an app called DejaOffice (free in the Market) already on your device to get this program to work. Some might not like the price at $39.95, but if you need Outlook and want to bypass Google, this is one of your few options. CompanionLink only works on PCs.
