iDroid on my 3G, a bit of an update

So I’ve actually got an Android app running on my 3G under iDroid, and it actually works. It doesn’t work very well, but it does work. The app I managed to get running was Beat Dialer. The other app I tried to get to work was Tasker, but for reasons that I just don’t understand it will not install at all. Which is a shame really.

G1 is go!

Well I’ve finally got my G1 up and running again. It’s taken a while to get this far, and it’s really just the beginning as it’s currently running Android 1.5 and I’d like to see how far I can take it. Hopefully up to 2.1, but we’ll see.

I have to say that T-Mobile were really helpful getting things working for me. They were brilliant. My plan is to get it working as a remote security scanner. We’ll see if I can make it work effectively.

What can you do with an old PDA?

I still have a number of old devices which are for the most part doing nothing whatsoever. So I started to wonder what I could do with them. Especially my Dell Axim x51. It’s a nice device, but I really don’t use it for music anymore, nor do I really use it for anything. It seems a shame to just sell it off as I’m sure I’d regret it. I’d like it to have a reasonable use for it.

So I’m going to have a nose around and see if there’s a way to get some more life out of it.

A little keyboard

I bought this little keyboard for my San Francisco Android phone. It works great with my iPhone 4, it pairs straight away and works like a dream. However, the San Francisco won’t see it at all and I can’t seem to find any software for it only. Maybe I’ll get it working tomorrow.
