GD_WeeklyRoundup_HiRes2

Life’s busy.  There’s just too much happening around us to try and keep up with everything. Who has the time to balance it all?  Don’t worry if you missed a few posts last week.   We have you covered.  So take a moment to slow down, grab a cup of coffee and start your week off with a roundup of some of our best.

You’ve Got Mail
What?  You thought Kindlegate was done?  Not so fast.  Mr. Cohen has an Open Letter to Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

Want Some Flash with That Smartphone?
Judie shares some SlashGear love with a quick look at the HTC Hero — and, whoa! What. A. Phone.   Not only will this Android handset sport HTC Sense™ ,
the Hero will support Flash, a 5.0 MP Camera, and host of other drool-worthy features.  Take a look and see whether you want to go ahead and update your wishlist now.

Mac Meet Netbook, Netbook meet Mac
Windows Vista driving you mad?  If you have ever thought of throwing OS X on your Windows Netbook, Jessica shows you her Hackintosh installation on a Dell Mini 9.

When?  When?  WHEN?!?
Hope you already got your spot on the waiting list.  Google Voice is starting to roll out to folks who have requested an invite (you know, way back when the service was still Grand Central).   Hopefully, Google Voice open up and begin accepting new accounts soon.  It’s time everyone had the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about — and why once you go Google Voice, you’ll never go back.

Good Push, Bad Push?
Beejive released it’s updated push app to both the iPhone and BlackBerry Storm.  Some members of the GD Team encountered a nice dose of frustration with Beejive’s iPhone app and it’s implementation of push notifications. Sound off in the comments on your experience with the latest from Beejive.

Wrapping it up
Evernote continues it’s “killer app” status by adding notebook sharing.   Travis gave a “thumbs up” to the freebie of the week:  the iPhone Weather Channel app, while Joel  ran through Android’s Weather Bug.   Adrian went scrapbooking with a great gift idea, andwe even previewed a couple of Beta media apps for BlackBerry.
