Now you too can control your computer with your phone! RemoteDroid turns your phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse with touchpad, using your own wireless network. It’s a free application for phones running Google’s Android operating system, such as the T-Mobile G1.
RemoteDroid consists of two parts: the phone application you can download from Google’s Android Marketplace, and a companion server application for your computer that you can download from RemoteDroid.
(San Mateo Calif., USA), January 6, 2009 – DeviceAnywhere™, the leading global provider of end-to-end solutions for the mobile development lifecycle, today announced the addition of the Google Android G1, the first handset from the open source Android alliance available on the T-Mobile network.The Android G1 device is the latest addition to over 1500 handsets offered on the DeviceAnywhere service, which includes popular smartphones such as the iPhone 3G and the BlackBerry Bold.
Using DeviceAnywhere to test, monitor, and develop for the Android G1, users from anywhere in the world are now able to interact with the T-Mobile G1 as they would if the device were in their hands.

Listen up all T-Mobile G1 devotees. This just came in last week and it is awesome. A G1 extended battery like you have never imagined in your wildest dreams. Triple your usage time with an extended lithium ion battery. This battery boasts an impressive 3.7v 2300 mAh capacity. Extended black battery door come with the battery and fits perfectly on your device.
Our CEO himself has been using this product since it came in and he is so happy that he doesn’t have to run to a charger every 2 hours.
So, do yourself a favor and get this great product now.
This is the non-technical, non-jargon best smartphones list for 2008 from Fommy.com. We’ve seen every model and handset design that’s come out this year and here’s our faves.
These phones are in no particular order but all the ones on this list are #1 on someone’s list. As I always say, the best smartphone is the one that best fits your needs.
My take on this iconic phone is same as everyone else’s… I loved it from the moment I saw it. A sleek design that actually lends itself to great technology. Apple’s phone is in every way simple to use and easy to enjoy. Web surfing is great and with the 3G speed it’s as good of a web experience as you can have on a mobile.
T-Mobile is rumored to be sending out a late Christmas Gift to all G1 owners….a much desired Christmas gift….an extended battery with a compatible replacement battery door. The current 1150mAh battery, as we all know, just doesn’t cut it, and frustrated T-Mobile customers have spoken out. A notice will be sent out to G1 owners either via mail or email about this in the coming weeks. There has been no formal announcement within T-Mobile, but thier PDA support is aware of this. A T-Mobile representative states, “After everything they did, and the amount of time put into this (extended battery) project, I doubt they would scrap it now.” I’ll be holding my breath and crossing my fingers for this one.
It might still be in the rumor stage but at this point, the stats on the G2 are becoming more and more clearer. See this BGR report for full details - the latest is that the G2 is due out in April 2009 and will have no external keyboard. There will be a trackball, yes, as in the BlackBerry trackball.
In addition, it seems that the phone is going to be available on more than 1 network, although we don’t know which other one than T-Mobile. Oh yeah, and the other network won’t be allowed to call it G2 because that’s T-Mobile’s proprietary name…..
This one sounds too much even for us but I had to report this rumor about the new G2 from T-Mobile. Supposedly as per BGR rumors, the G2 is coming out on January 26, 2009. Seems a little too soon doesn’t it? Well I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
Now you can totally tote around awesome YouTube videos on your G1, simply save them to your SD card via copy & paste. The kids over at Android Tapp give a little demo, just follow their instructions below:
Search for the video you want. In the video above, I choose “The Transporter 3 movie trailer”
Tapp the YouTube link, by default the G1 will prompt 2 options: Browser or YouTube. Chose “Browser”. The reason, to get the YouTube link.
In the search field press on the keyboard “Menu” + “V” to Paste on the G1, hit Enter
Slide down and Tapp “›› Download ‹‹ (video.mp4 - High Quality)“. This will open a new window and download the MP4 in your browser history. Disregard the .FLV version as the G1 can’t do Flash Video… yet. (Alternatively, it’s saved on your SD Card under “downloads” folder)
Now that you’re settling in with your G1 we want to break some news to you. We’ve just spotted some images of the T-Mobile G2 in the wild… take a look for yourself. Yep, it’s another HTC device.
What are you going to do now? You’ve been dying to get the new T-Mobile G1 but you want it in white and it’s out of stock everywhere! FYI - I haven’t even seen a white one in person so I wonder if it even really exists…
So a suitable alternative to the White G1 that you have been waiting & waiting for is this lovely snap on white case. This is the perfect solution. It snaps on easily on your black G1 in a few seconds and you are ready to go! And at this great price, who can resist?
