someone who's doing some things
And I missed it! It arrived on the 21st of May and I didn’t notice. Still, something new to listen to I guess. She was very good when I saw her live at Field Day and at the time I thought about her new album, I think I just had it in my head that it was coming out later in the year.
Never mind!
I was thinking about moving to Android again. Weighing up whether I should move off iOS or not. One thing that I hadn’t thought about was which OS works best with the Pebble smartwatch. Whilst the smartwatch works with both operating systems, notifications work with Android, and not currently with iOS.
Of course, that could change, even next week at WWDC, but it does add another dimension to the question.
Researching Android …
I only just realised that I hadn’t actually listened to this 4th Doctor story as yet. It’s been sitting on a shelf, un-listened to since it arrived. So I’m putting that right immediately.
I was mucking around with Romo, trying to get it over a little assault course the other day. It was fun, but it did make me start to wonder about what sort of creative applications could be made for Romo? I’m not sure he could be used for music, or at least not in the current form of Romo.
Aside from creative applications I would like to see a few other features available for Romo, like the ability to log in to a Romo over the web to be able to use it as a remote web cam perhaps.
I posted this over at Palm Sounds, but it’s a good picture of Genome running on the iPad and controlling Paul’s Shruthi-1. So it goes here too.
I’m really excited. It is on the way at last! But of course, what will I do with it? I have an ambitious plan of course, what else would you expect. However, it is almost certainly too ambitious for me to pull it off, but then, if it wasn’t, what would the point be of trying?
He was amazing. Truly amazing. I really enjoyed this performance.
Yep, I am seriously considering Android for my next phone, which I will be able to update to in just over 2 weeks. As someone who is totally into music making on handheld devices you might wonder why I’m even interested in Android as it has no use whatsoever for music. Ok, that’s a little over the top. There are a few music making apps for Android, but not many to be fair.
So why move? Well, simply put it is that Android is more open and accessible. In data terms there is nothing to choose between the two operating systems really. If I want email, RSS, twitter etc then they can both do most of this stuff just fine. So one of the things I’m considering is moving to an Android phone and getting an iPod touch to use for music making.
The next couple of weeks will tell me if I can make the jump successfully.
I’ve only recently started to listening to her material, and it is very good, although there isn’t too much of it around. I believe there’s an album coming out this year. Anyway, she was really good, I liked the set and it seemed to get a good response from the audience too.
