You know you’ve done it before! You’re as guilty as the next monkey of putting the phone down right before the cop that pops out of nowhere catches the reckless act. If you own a mobile device and you drive, chances are you have sent text messages while driving.
State Farm Android Application "On The Move"
To “curve” the urge to text while driving, State Farm developed an Android application called “On The Move” that automatically replies to text messages while you drive.
It dawned on me today while looking at the latest Engadget news. The fact that I have not seen a gallery exclusively dedicated to a couple of my favorite passions in life — mobile phones and beautiful women! The latter of course not being less important than the former, the sentence just flowed better that way.
LG Optimus Z Korea Launch
A quick scour of the Internets yielded many eye-pleasing results. The images are in no particular order, but I did try to find ones that were actual images taken from the pictured mobile phone’s launch.
Leave it to the wonderful folks over at Engadget to post breaking news on a possible Nokia QWERTY-slider spotted in China.

The device previously speculated back in June as an unknown slider or a Nokia N98, now seems to have confirmation of it being a Nokia N9 running MeeGo.
Nope, not even boba nai cha (or bubble tea) is safe from parody as JustKiddingFilms comes out with this outrageously funny advert for Tastea. A smoothie and tea shop located in Southern California.
JustKiddingFilms apparently have quite a few short comedic films on their YouTube channel. Check them out!
If you’ve ever wondered what lobsters do at your local supermarket while you’re not watching you might want to take a look at this short clip.
Engadget talks to Niklas Savander executive president and general manager of market units. He tells Engadget that Nokia will launch the N8 in the US but a carrier will be announced at a later date.
Speculating here but knowing Nokia and the fact that the N8 supports T-Mobile’s AWS 1700 band. Its probably a safe bet that the carrier will be T-Mobile. Nothing has been announced yet.
Being a a mobile phone junkie, I’m patiently awaiting the sale of Nokia’s next flagship device, the Nokia N8. More importantly I am waiting for user input on usability and performance to help me decide if this device will be my next mobile phone.
I tend to use these devices in such a demanding way that it is mandatory for a feature set of my strictest requirements be met. The potential of the N8 is there to be my all-in-one device. But as you may know, many of the long-time supporters like Ricky Cadden (Symbian-Guru.com) are now dropping Nokia/Symbian devices for Android based ones because of disappointing performance in previous flasgships like the Nokia N97. With any hope Nokia have learned their lesson and have corrected many of the issues.
I too, as a long time Nokia supporter am on the edge of dropping the brand all together and moving on. Possibly with an Android device as well. For now I’ll be crossing my fingers so stick around as I explore some of the features that I will be looking for and explain how I will be using them.
