Gone App Crazy

Posted in Mobile Blogging, Musings by fieldmarshal on May 26, 2010

I am mentally prepared for a shock when my handphone bill for this month arrives in the coming days. Having signed up for the lightest, thus cheapest, data plan, with the noble thought of rarely using the mobile surfing function of my phone, I am now regretting this blunder.

Since the day I downloaded the apps for BBC (the news nut that I am), WordPress and various mindless, but highly addictive games, I have been online enough to know that I busted the 35mb data I am given. The cheapo in me are now cussing the stupidity of the decision on the fateful day I got my phone.

Anyway, there’s little point in crying over spilt milk.

Currently, my wife and I are in opposing Android and Apple camps since she’s using the Ipod while I use the Android platform on my HTC Hero.

From what I observe, Apple apps are flashier and stylis compared to the ‘workhorse’ feel of my Android apps. However, I am firmly in Google’s camp as Apple, despite its seemingly good products, are going down the route of the ‘evil corporate empire’ with its attempt to control the development of apps and making us pay for something as basic as their firmware.

If any Android app developer is reading this, do know that Android users, like myself, think you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up!
