I just recently updated my phone with new Android software update, and let me say that in quick review, I’m impressed.  Without delving in and looking at every application and it’s effects on them, I know that a few bugs have been fixed, Voice search has been added, and Google’s Latitude was added to the maps app.

As far as the Voice search, with one click on the microphone, google will ask if you would like your results to be location based.  Then, all you have to do is speak into the microphone and it will analyze your speech and bring you back results.  It seems to be pretty intuitive and not screw up with words that don’t even make sense.

Google has launched a new product called Latitude that allows you to share your location with friends and for you see the location of others.  With the new update, Latitude is now added to the Maps application for the ability to pinpoint the location of yourself and friends that you are following.

I’m excited to finally see an update of significance.  I’m still patiently waiting for the Cupcake 1.5 update

I recently downloaded Quicksilver from BLACKTREE. I was watching a screencast of a developer using it to quickly open a program, so I installed it. This is a very efficient program to be used for all kinds of applications. It features a quick find like searchlight on mac, however, it also searches web history, applications, and many more. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to access the application for fast availability. There are a lot of other features that Quicksilver offers that I am not currently aware of but I plan to learn more about it and see how more productive it will make me.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.  I hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas and get what you want, including the blessings of being with those you love.

My family tends to do Christmas a little different.  This year, we will be going to Dripping Springs, TX on the 26th to celebrate of the 27th. My whole immediate family will meet down there for the celebration.  As far as today, we will be at my Girlfriends families house.  Looking forward to that craziness!!

Well I’m going to go now.  Have a Merry Christmas all.
