T-Mobile has released 2 new apps into the Android Market. The first one is Mobile Backup. This sync’s or backups your contacts with T-Mobile’s server.
That way if you lose your phone, you still have your contact with T-Mobile. This could be quite useful in case you ever get rid of the G1 for another phone where you would not be able to connect and sync your contacts with Google.
The other application released by T-Mobile is called HotSpot.
Now if I remember correctly there already was another app like this in the Market. Now you officially have one by T-Mobile is all. This app will find you T-Mobile WiFi HotSpot locations.
If you do not already have the app My Account by T-Mobile, then grab it already. They released months ago and it lets you check your minutes used, text messages used, bill summary, phone storage information and much more.

Pixar granted Colby Curtin her dying wish to see the movie ‘Up’. The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins’ Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie. Colby died about seven hours after seeing the film.
It is good to know that good people still exist out there and even more so from companies like Pixar. More companies should take notice and get more into dying wishes. I know some do but it needs to be done more. It honestly can not really hurt them much what so ever. Seeing how it is a dying wish for someone especially when it is not there fault and a victim of cancer, a rare one at that.
This is a very sad story and to end it, Rest in Peace Colby Curtin. I am glad you got to see Up, that your wish was granted and enjoyed a great movie as I saw it with my girlfriend Jordan and thought it was.

Last.FM integration is also coming to Xbox Live but is not shown in this video.
Finally! U.S. users of the Android OS phone or G1 can get their 1.5 Cupcake update. Follow the instructions below to do so, I have already updated with this file and it is the Official U.S. version of Android 1.5 Cupcake.
I am very impressed with this update (that finally has arrived). I have seen my share of videos of the updates but after having used it, it feels so much better than what I was expecting which was good already. The on-screen keyboard is nice, it takes some getting used too. Some larger fingers can have a harder time getting use to. I think I will just be using the on-screen keyboard for quick writing and not long text messages or anything. The user interface updates are even more beautiful.

Bethesda announced today two more new Fallout 3 Downloadable Content for all versions including Xbox 360. The first DLC is called Point Lookout and it lets you explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. It will be released in late June for Xbox 360 and PC for 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99).
Mothership Zeta is the second DLC, scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC for 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99). In Mothership Zeta, the aliens have returned, and they’re pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you’re tough enough to survive.
I am much more looking forward to Mothership Zeta not that I expect Point Lookout to be anywhere not good though. Bethesda has really been pushing out great new DLC for Fallout 3 this year and it has all been great so far, I am getting so much more out of this game then originally thought.

Sick of waiting for Android 1.5? Well you will be waiting just a little longer, just like myself. I am quite disappointed with T-Mobile USA right now. Everyone else has received their “Cupcake” update thus far except us (UK, Germany, etc).
They announced the following: “We’re finalizing the build this week to ensure optimal functionality and smooth delivery. Therefore, the rollout schedule has been reset by approximately a week, and we expect all G1 customers will have the update by early June.”
So according to the announcement, as long as if nothing more changes, we should start seeing the update slowly roll out the week of May 25th.

Did you know that Xbox Live has never given its Gold Subscribers nothing over Silver members? Well finally that day has come and even later than it was suppose too. Back when the NXE update came out in November 2008, a new feature was to come to Xbox Live called 1 vs 100. Now finally, it is coming this Spring.
Do not count on them giving you more though now over Silver members. While Xbox Live is not too expensive and other consoles do offer it for free, Xbox Live is still the best experience. But when you really think about Xbox Live and nit pick at it, it really sucks sometimes minus being able to play online with friends of the features that Silver members do get still, even if they have to wait a day to get some of them (like demos).
For you Fallout 3 fans out there, get ready for May 5th as the third final part of the announced DLC content comes out, Broken Steel. This is a much larger DLC than from the past 2 DLC releases. This not only fixes the main story line allowing you to continue from the ending rather than not but it also gives you a level cap increase from 20 to 30. Yet alone, many more hours of Fallout fun, more main quests and side quests along with a bunch of new perks to choose from when leveling up with to 30. Enemies will be much harder to defeat too with this.
