You have never gone to the mall or parked at the airport and forgotten where you have parked? I played "find the car" when I had my Explorer and my daughter does it with her Nissan.

No, but I have always had large vehicles that you can see from afar. I understand not being able to see a small car amidst the hundreds of others.

One problem I have with my HTC Thunderbolt is the battery life. You have to make sure you close all the apps to keep the battery from draining. I like to Restart it to make sure that everything gets turned off. I like the I Heart Radio app to listen to a radio station while I'm eating lunch. I can read my e-mails, news, pay bills, run missorts using Google Earth, and a lot of other stuff. It entertains me so I have something to do and I take every single minute of my lunch hour. I use the calculator balancing my checkbook, and it takes great pictures too.

Here's a cool app I downloaded last night.

MyCast. It's a weather app that also lets you see radar (moving) on your phone. Zoom in, pan, see when that storms about to hit ya!
Get the Mycast Lite, it's free.

I use the Camp Pendleton site .....has the moving radar too. Also free and pretty accurate with the forecasts. You can do all 57 states on it too.

Google updated my phone today to ICS 4.4 android.
Now I gotta figure it out all over again:) I did learn something today.
The first android phone in '09 was called cupcake,then donut,
then gingerbread.Now its ICS,ice cream sandwich.
It tastes better all the time.
It's insane that my phone can do all this crap.
Check out an app ironically called "PCM" light,
It works great!

Pretty cool, DS. There doesn't seem to be an app for the iPhone. :(

Google Sky

That's because it's an andriod app made by Google. Android is Google's response to Apple's iPhone. There has to be something along the same lines though.

I enjoy that I find myself at the perfect age range. Young enough to know and understand the new technologies, but old enough not to give a flying crap if I ndont have it. Although, I felt old when someone posted and acronym on facebook and I had to google it.

I can just look on the computer. It has a bigger screen, anyway. I have more than enough of those stupid apps on my cell, as it is. :bigsmile2:

Thank you, though.

I'm so old I don't have a Facebook account.
