This is what happen..! - I dipped my toe in Android land

I write about stuff that I find cool. This is my own opinion, nobody else. I might write about security, tech and gadget. Take every thing with a grain of salt.

I dipped my toe in Android land

I’ve been using a Google Nexus One phone since 3 days. I’m using it exclusively, keeping my iPhone 3GS without a sim card and power off at home. This is a nice experience because I was always curious about this new phone os. I never tried version 1.x, so I can’t tell how much it evolve since day one. What I can say for now, I like it. But there are a few things that I would like to point out.

Keyboard layout needs a bit of getting use to. This is probably due to the fact that I’m coming from an iPhone and I’m used to it’s layout.
This one bugs me a lot, I can’t change the language while in a text box. I speak french and english, and I write email / im / sms in both language. While typing, the dictionary / replacing tends to slow me down.
Android market, there is a lot of good apps, not as much a on the iPhone, all seem free at first. I found out that some apps have a pro version, but where do I buy..? It looks like every dev needs to sell their apps from there own website.

Other than that, I’ve been using DoubleTwist to drop music and video from my iTunes. And it works great.
