What I thought would be a quick review rapidly turned into 18 minutes of me rambling. Apologies for that, but I hope you enjoy anyway!

I’ve had this device in my hands for the last two weeks, and it’s a bit of a conundrum. It really feels like a business device, but it’s very sleek and powerful, with consumer features as well. Perhaps a business/consumer hybrid device?

Update: Quite disappointed in the fact that you can’t really connect it as a USB storage device, so other than Bluetooth, you can’t really manage it on Linux (that’s how I got the videos off of it).

I’ve been using OpenSUSE for a few days now, and here’s my initial thoughts about it… Hope you enjoy!

As an update, Kdenlive refused to render anything (failed every time I tried to render). It’s a known bug. That said, it’s still a very decent distro, with some bugs in third party software, sadly (that aren’t bugs in other distros).

I got my hands on the HTC Rezound from Verizon for the last week, so here’s my “quick” review on the device. Enjoy!

Updates / things I forgot to mention:

• Battery life: Very decent. I don’t believe I saw a day when the battery dropped below 50% after a full day’s use (much like the battery on my Droid X)

It’s definitely been an interesting year, with a lot of ups and downs, but I feel the TWIL channel made significant progress in spite of the issues, and I look forward to doing more work in 2012. Thank you all so much for your continued support.

I’ve been using this device for about 2 weeks now, and I’m just.. well, I’m blown away. Powerful, fast, lightweight, sturdy. I couldn’t be happier with a device (perhaps). Check it out over at http://www.verizonwireless.com/droid-razr.shtml

I received an email from Joyce with Grants4Grands.net about two weeks ago. Their organization is selling ceramic Tux Penguin clocks for $ 20 to raise funds to support grandparents that are raising their grandchildren. She asked me to review one of the clocks, and I gladly obliged.
