HTC Hero Review (finally!)

Since august I have  been sporting the HTC Hero Android smartphone. Ever since I got my grabby gagdet hands on the device I have been itching to write down my 2 cents on the thing and now I’m finally writing it, I’m late to the party I know, but there are a couple of reasons I ended up writing this late. Reason number 1. was that I wanted to write it based on the firmware update that HTC released shortly after release that made the whole user experience drastically better by making everythin faster. Reason number 2. was that in order to aply this update I had to use a windows PC and I did not have this handy until recently. Ok, here goes my review:

Finally I review the HTC Hero (because I knew you where holding you’r breath)

Minor Major Rants and stuff

Just some stuff that’s been on my mind:

Office Live

So Microsoft has launched Office Live which is supposedly their answer to Google Docs. I have tested it for about 5 minutes and I conclude that it is worthless. You need a plugin to be able to edit documents, wich 1) I don’t want and 2) defeats the purpose of online documents in the first place. With Google Docs I just need a browser and the net and I’m all good. If I have to download plugins everytime then I’m back a square one, a online webfolder would be just as much “office live” as that.

Suddenly I remember why I don’t use Office anymore

HTC Hero Update

You need Windows to update you’r Android phone. This is fail in so many many ways. I will someday update my HTC Hero, I have no idea when this will be.

Google Wave IE Quickfix

I’m really looking forward to Google Wave, in the meantime I was delighted to read that Google has fixed the “IE problem” for hopefully everyone by making a plugin that gives IE the power of HTML 5. Check out the blogpost and kudos to Google for fixing IE (hopefully).
