So after Bill’s Keynote last night, he offered to take Stan and I out to dinner at the Mirage, we thanked him but told him no, we were going to hit the town with this MSN/Live Butterfly we picked up at the show.

More great coverage to come today…

Motorola Q Backgrounds

Sample Homepage

Ok it’s Friday, so time for something Fun! As many of you know I am a recent convert to the Moto Q, I do still miss my Treo, but love the Outlook integration of the Windows OS on the Q – win some, lose some.  At any rate it’s high time I customize my Q and I’ve found a wonderful free source for homescreens, not the crappy ones that it ships with. 

Check out the variety at http://www.kooldezine.com/Q.htm and great workmanship, Ray Daley operates this design company and has been kind enough to put up a few freebies for us, check them out.

Motorola Q Update

Posted on January 4th, 2007 in Gadgets | No Comments »

New Motorola Black Q

A new year and a new Q – Now at Verizon you can order the new Black Moto Q and rumor has it that it will be showing up for Sprint customers soon as well. There does not appear to be to be any spec differences between the Silver and Black, however the new model ships with a fresh firmware build, boasting better power management (ah, rejoice!). 

Not all is lost for those with the existing Silver models, the firmware is downloadable from Moto directly.

Installation on mine was similar to prior updates, and yes – it wipes out all your data, so backup your rings and photos first.

Well, here it is – After much delay, the new WordPress powered Degen.Net is coming online.

Bear with me as this PHP/MySQL/AJAX stuff has been kicking my butt! 

Lot of good stuff will be coming soon as I prep for CES next week.  I’ll be blogging the happening from Las Vegas starting this weekend, so check back soon.
