The Motorola XOOM Revisited: When Crow Tastes Like Chicken
Especially after this week's podcast AndroidGuys Regular where I heard nothing but praise for the new tab Samsung 10.1, which was presented at I / O. But I do not want the super-slim Sammy (say that five times fast) primarily because it will come with their own TouchWiz interface and I want pure Android updates as soon as possible. After having an affair with a Verizon XOOM, three days to be exact, I decided to get the version without WiFi chains attached to the data and updates from my local WalMart. He even went on sale, so I guess it was a sign!
* Responsibility of a buyer of Apple device: I have now lived with the 2 iPad since the day he was released and I own the first generation version for six months until I sold it to buy T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. Phew, got that on the way!
Not since my first PC with Windows 98 was an update made such a difference. bump last week to 3.1 is certainly what the doctor ordered. Of course, it did not add 50,000 applications for the market or give me a HC version of Netflix, but it was actually my first experience with alveolar fracture forgotten.The software is slowly moving towards a true Alpha status and will be completely emancipated with the future version of ice cream sandwich. The browser is stable and the Android Market, so a little summary is very useful and almost a pleasure to see ... almost. But since we can see online right now is a non-issue for some people. After getting my new XOOM introduced with the new resizable widgets Google Apps, Gmail is now loud and clear on his own office. The same can be said for my inbox and work email. Grabbed the new Flash upgrade for a real Web 2.0 experience and tested it on some sites, not just a browser crash or even a tab. Like it or not Flash is a bit like the national speed limit: we do not like it, but we have to live with it. Google Talk looks and works very well and I can not wait for Skype to publish a correct version honeycomb. Seesmic looks like now "tablety" since I increased the font size and it now fills the screen to simulate a native application tablet. And on the basis of an episode of TWiT recent years, the application for Seesmic honeycomb will be available very soon. I wish the same could be said about the Facebook Android App, web version, but works in a pinch.No reason to list each thing as most of you bought / seen / used honeycomb, but I am very happy to use my driver XOOM daily, while relegating the IPAD to my children (they already stole from me anyway).
Indie Music PR: Gary Lucas plays Grammy Museum in Great Guitar Series
Avant guitar wizard Gary Lucas will be performing solo at the GRAMMY
MUSEUM in Los Angeles as part of their GREAT GUITAR SERIES on Wed. July
20th at 8pm
Billed as "AN EVENING WITH GARY LUCAS", this will take place at the Grammy
Museum's 200 seat theater at 800 West Olympic Blvd.Past participants
include George Benson, Richard Thompson, Lee Ritenour, George Thorogood
and Jonny Lang
In the meanwhile, Gary Lucas and his psychedelic supergroup Gods &
Monsters will be performing at Joe's pub May 27. This world class guitar
hero, Grammy-nominated songwriter, international recording artist with
over 20 acclaimed albums to date, and soundtrack composer for film and
television is releasing a new studio recording with his psychedelic
super-group Gods and Monsters, The Ordeal of Civility produced by Jerry
Harrison (Talking Heads). The Ordeal of Civility is being released May
10th on Knitting Factory Records, distributed by Sony/Red. There's been
some astonishing press for the new record including features in the Wall
Street Journal and New York Times.
Don't typecast Gary Lucas too readily. His wizardly way with the guitar,
avant-garde affinities and ever-present felted beaver-fur hat might stamp
him as the definitive New York art rocker. He's got the bona fides, dating
back to his formative early-'80s stint as a guitarist in the last edition
of the Magic Band, the alchemical engine for the late rock 'n' roll
visionary Captain Beefheart,whom Mr. Lucas also managed... The guitarist's
award-worthy collaborations with singers Joan Osborne ("Spider Web") and
the late Jeff Buckley ("Grace") are only the best known of his musical
allegiances, which also include albums devoted to 1930s Chinese pop songs,
original soundtracks for silent films, and studio summits with the Dutch
minimalist and lute player Jozef van Wissem. While looking ahead to the
May 10 release of "The Ordeal of Civility," a new album with his band Gods
and Monsters, and a release party Saturday at
the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, Mr. Lucas was racking up his
frequent-flyer points... -Steve Dollar/Wall Street Journal
The music business has never quite known what to make of Gary Lucas. Go to
a site for streaming or downloading songs, and you may find his music
consigned to a vague category called "other.
