Color Kindle? Running Android?
Eric Schmidt: The Next Big Android Launch is Coming in Oct or Nov
Sony Tablet Wonder if they will make some slick device and then wreck it by making it proprietary.
Amazon’s Future Is So Much Bigger Than a Tablet - I like the line saying that the Kindle isn't a book - it is a bookstore.
Amazon.com begins rolling out new homepage design - so it is easier for tablet users?
Amazon Book Service Rent books on demand?
Low Expectations for the Amazon Tablet?

Droid Hams
So I tried to join the Droid Hams Yahoo Group, but I missed the fine print (see below) and was denied.
DescriptionSince I tried to sign up using my Brick account and without mentioning my call, my request was denied. I don't dispute the group owner's right to restrict access, but I think the more open groups have a better chance of success. My supporting data... this group had one message in August and one message so far in September. Not too active.
Droid users that are licensed hams
If you want to join present your call sign otherwise you will be denied

PSK31 (and Ham Apps for Droid)
For a while now, I've been thinking about playing around with the digital modes - specifically PSK31. Unfortunately, the Small Wonder Labs PSK31 kits have been discontinued:
That led me to another search that turned up K7AGE's "Introduction to PSK31 - Receiving." He makes it look really easy to start recieving - even without any special equipment. All you need is the DigiPan software, your computer, and your radio.
He also posted a video with some sample PSK31 signals, so you can test the DigiPan install without even needing a radio. As usual, hams come up with cheap ways to do ham stuff.
I still may shell out $100 bucks to get a SignaLink USB, so I can Tx. (I know, I know... I won't spend $5 on the app, but will spend $100 on the hardware. Does not compute. Does not compute.)
"The PSK-series transceiver is discontinued effective immediately. There will be a successor- schedule is uncertain."So that option is out for now. I came across several ham apps for the Droid phone by Wolphi LLC that included DroidPSK - PSK31 in addtion to others like a Morse code trainer, DX beacon, DX cluster, etc. I thought "Great! I can play with that." - until I saw that DroidPSK app was $5. I'm pretty cheap when it comes to nickel and dime stuff that I may not use very long.

Droid Data Usage
According to the Verizon usage monitoring app, I have used over 750 meg of data this month from my Droid Pro. Maybe I shouldn't be posting this from my phone.
