There are plenty of thoughtful ways in which people can document their year. But when Sam Morrison’s father bet him $US100 that he couldn’t do a backflip every day of 2011, another approach was born. Yes: Sam Morrison recorded himself doing a backflip every single day of 2011.
It’s been a while since Optus paved the way for Android in Australian with the launch of the G1. Over a year, in fact. But now they’re jumping into bed with Motorola to bring out a couple of new Android handsets, the DEXT and the BACKFLIP, both of which run Motorola’s custom Android software MOTOBLUR. Anybody else hate the way those words are all capitalised?
Apparently AT&T is struggling a bit with the whole idea of Android, a somewhat open mobile OS. Instead of embracing it and giving users a full experience, they’ve decided to cripple it and not allow the installation of non-market apps.
AT&T’s first Android phone won’t ship with Google Search. Instead, The Motorola Backflip‘s home screen will sport a Yahoo Search widget, and its browser will run Yahoo searches by default. Yep. I think that’s what they call a burn.
