The best reason to own an Android mobile device.


The best reason?

I just used mine to buy some Auratone speakers on Ebay while driving through rural Florida on highway

19.

I placed a bid with 30 seconds to spare and now have a new set of old speakers to add to my pile. :-)

The pair I picked out seemed too clean to pass up at the price I bid.



Who-da thought.  Crazy.

    I couldn't afford the heli upgrade shipping option.

    We may use them when we watch pre 1974 movies... just an option.

    Like the original True Grit. 


    Cool.


    Should add some realism, no?

    I guess it doesn't matter... I'm gonna have to buy a sack of trail mix at Costco.

    you know what BitFlipper,

    I've had the Android since Nov and now that Verizon has the IPhone I think I want to switch.

    The Android Market IS A CESS POOL. I am amazed that Android a.k.a. Google does absolutely nothing to protect customers from the junk, garbage, and malicious stuff I see on the Android Market.

    I run my Droid X and primarily appreciate the data stuff for Maps, Internet Browsing and Wiki access. I've removed most of the extra stuff I downloaded and tried out.

    best regards,
    mike

    Are you saying we can hack into Mike's phone and do appalling things?

    Like order some stuff from ebay for him while we're driving?

    I have a feeling both you and Bit have the smarts to figure out to do it. :-)

    I'm not sure about that.

    It takes a specific kind of smart to be a hacker - you have to be smart enough to be able to figure out how to do stuff, but at the same time not be smart enough to find something better to do with your time.
