I just got an Android phone

Posted on November 24th, 2010 by Sacha Chua

From Phone

Thanks to W’s fine research and comparison shopping, I bought an Android phone off Craigslist. I’ve just installed Tasker and a whole bunch of other apps, and I can’t wait to try all sorts of experiments. I’m looking forward to mobile development, too! (… and yes, MobileOrg was one of the first things I installed… =) )

  Can you elaborate which make and model you got?

  How is MobileOrg? Kind of curious to hear a review before I install it for some reason.

  MobileOrg is cool. =) I’ll figure out how to sync it with Dropbox sometime – the setup was easier on the iPod Touch – but being able to capture quick notes and navigate my Org hierarchy is wonderful. I might help with some bugs regarding soft keyboards, but overall, I like it. (And it’s open source!)

  Now if someone could just port John Wiegley’s ledger program, I’ll be all set with my quirky text-based toolkit. ;) Might be a fun way to learn Android development…

  Yeah, I had some problems setting up MobileOrg that were exacerbated by work blocking Dropbox.

  so, are you going to ditch toodledo now that you have mobileorg?
