Facts and links to Android operating system resources collected in one blog.

A begining

It took me time to make the decision and start a blog on SOMETHING with mixed emotions.
On one hand I felt I had great deal to share with mostly beginners like myself (or at least considered myslef as one until recently), while on the other hand I felt like I was craving some attention which I don't like (my wife reminds me this is the case most of the time).
With the improving trend of mobile devices closing the gap between them and computers, I figured I did have something to contribute to 'society'. Going through daily discussions (on-line, at work, or other) I found I had good amount of information worth sharing and contribute to friends' decisions, mostly influencing their purchasing choice of a new cell phone. I came to know Android operating system almost immediately after its launch with the G1, purchased shortly after its debut. It is facinating to read of the bloggers and other influential people canceling Android from the start. Sorry I didn't keep records of such articles - who knew I would want to start this blog...
Just to make it clear, not that it matters, I'm not taking sides with Android 'against' other mobile operating systems (well... maybe Windows Mobile... just a bit). Before knowing Android, all I wanted was the iPhone, iphone, and more iPhone. As a matter of a fact, I recommended the iPhone to some friends who could have not been happier. I recommended it to them as I knew the device would match their style and approach.
If you came upon this blog I assume you were searching of some resources on Android. When I was noob I found some good places to prosper (ha - fancy word) with feedback of some good people, but as my knowledge grew wider, it was somewhat harder to find the right answers nor directions on where to find the answers. It is not uncommon these days to stumble upon a common response to any quarry you post for assistance in any subject that basically tells you to go and google that first before posting a question or 'go fetch'. Although true and understandable, as no one wants to be bothered with the same question over and over while knowing the answer is out there. If you found the site to post the question you should be able to at least try and look for an answer.
True... True...
However, If I take myself as an example, a married guy with kids... I really don't have that much time to sift through sometimes 1000 posts on specific subject to find out what I need. Can get frustrating. So here is another reason why I decided to start this blog - helping you who reads it now.
My task is to collect information I find on-line and concentrating here either as link or an actual post. Currently I own a G1 and my overall hardware knowledge currently revolves around that device. I will post a lot of bits and pieces on applications, games, rooting, etc...
WOW - I didn't think nor realized I'm capable of writing so much in one sitting - just imagine how much time I just spent perfecting this post especially with the bit of OCD I cope with...
Posting hopefully once a day - takes me a while to compose an almost perfect article, being as immaculate as I can get with English as a second language, but now also my main used language.

May this blog be your first step towards greater knowledge, just don't forget to come back from time to time, unless you subscribe. Still learning this Blogger thing to ease on the task of subscribing.
