80,005 Gamerscore

Earlier today I hit a Gamerscore of 80,005, sadly. Trust me when I say I am not as bad as other gamerscore whores out there and that I at least do not spend my time around building it higher either.

Though my next goal is to get 100,000, I doubt I will be seeing that anytime soon. At the earliest, I could possibly see that being in around 6 months or more, who knows. Plus, I have had 360 since release date, so I have had quite sometime to achieve such a gamerscore whereas others may of just bought a 360 6 months ago.

Apple: Last MacWorld Expo and no Steve Jobs

This coming January, 2009, will be the last MacWorld Expo Event that Apple throws. Not only that, Steve Jobs will not even be there to attend the show and give us not only the last MacWorld Event, but the last time we see what is going to be coming out that day, next day or coming months.

First off, I understand that Apple is getting much bigger than they were years ago. They have many, many new stores now with more stores to open up. Also the fact that their website is much better and to buy from. So they no longer really need to get out to the world on what is new or going to be coming out and when. Especially with how many blogs there are today and newspapers that report on new Apple products and such.

Now, that being said. I am still sad to hear this is the last MacWorld. I have always enjoyed not only watching it when they come out (I have not watched them all..) but I have always been there to watch live blogger posting pictures and text of what Apple is announcing at the time for them being there. I do not think it would be such a big deal though for them to cancel it, if Steve Jobs would actually be attending the last one. You would only think he would do that for the Apple Fan Base. But I guess not.

My Top G1 Apps

These are not in any particular order either.

– TuneWiki
– Shazam
– ShopSavvy (Barcode Scanner and Compare Everywhere are great too)
– Scoreboard (Replaces all sports apps like Pro Football Live)
– StreamFurious
– The Weather Channel
– Bartender
– Ringdroid

I am still waiting for a good Twitter App to be made. I am not happy enough with Twidroid and the others are still not as good as Twidroid too. I do wish the Facebook App would get better, if possible. The MySpace App is pretty cool if I were actually use MySpace.

Now there are still other good apps to use that may not be on a regular basis or a game. These do not include the default apps that already come with the phone like Amazon MP3, Maps, etc). Those would be the following: Any Cut, aSettings, Backgrounds, Bonsai Blast, HotSpot Locator, Hold’em, MyBackup, PAC-MAN, ParkMark, Picasa, PhoneFlix (NetFlix), Pro Basketball, QSearch, Quickpedia, Tetroid, Solitaire, Tip Calculator, Txtract and Video Player.

Sony still says 2008 release for Home

Are you kidding me? 2008 is over and they still think they are going to push out Home this month? Give me a break. PlayStation Home is a joke now, I am sure Sony already realizes this too though. Who really is going to use this? I know I will install it and try it out once but I know I will not be going back to it any time soon after that. Xbox 360 is has already taken off even more, especially this season already selling out PS3 3 to 1 on Black Friday 2008.

Check out any of these links to read a full article on this news rather than what I have to say. Neowin

G1 Phone Review

I picked up the G1 phone from T-Mobile this past Saturday. Now having played with it for almost a week I must say this is such a great phone. I honestly had so many doubts about the phone to where I stuck with wanting to purchase the Sony Ericsson W902, well that finally came out and just as expected, price was $550. Honestly, such a great phone but did not want to pay that price especially when you do not get much out of it for what the G1 offers especially for $199.

I started with the RC29 update, battery life and things were great having just used it, few recharges from Saturday through Tuesday. Early Tuesday morning came finally with the RC30 update. Whoa, did that help the battery life so much more. I especially love the fact that if needed I could change the battery out unlike say the iPhone.

The applications so far are not so bad, I am loving ShopSavvy even though I do not use it as much but it is still nice. The iPhone has such an app too, so not like it has not been done before. I love the Google account integration, works flawlessly just as you would hope. Amazing. I am just anxiously waiting for more applications to come to the phone though.

Keyboard and touch screen work great. I honestly had doubts about the phones look when deciding about finally purchasing it. After going to the local T-Mobile store it did not look as bad as it did online pictures. The plastic is not so bad at all, I think it looks like in black and not so good in brown. The white and gray is very nice though and which I bought it in.

It has a great phone. If you are a T-Mobile customer or not, I would really recommend looking into purchasing this phone, go play with it and possibly even buy it. It can definitely compete with the iPhone and overs advantages over the iPhone but vice-versa disadvantages as well.
