ever wondered how people post those crystal clear screen shots of their desktops or applications? it's with a little application called "drocap2" which is unfortunately only available to "rooted" users. grab this little guy in the market for free right now.
just wanted to cover a quick application today to give those of you without a multimedia dock the opportunity to still use the fun little clock feature which is included with your droid but may be hiding. a little application in the market called "desk home" is available for i believe $.99 which is, well, less than a double cheesburger at mcdonald's.
if you aren't aware of what the docking app is, it basically pulls up your weather, time, music, and photos all while acting as a replacement alarm clock for you. it's definitely a cool thing to have and with "desk home" you can play with all of those features without a dock. just plug your phone into a charger and it'll pop right up. you can also set it to run without plugging in.
update: as a few people have already pointed out, there is an app called DockRunner in the market which is free and does basically the same thing. for me personally, i like the two options that come with Desk Home: "auto dock" and "keep screen on."
continuing on in our video review series of android applications, we stumble onto a fantastic security application called lookout. if you are not aware of lookout, it has gained fame over the last week after being used to return a stolen phone back to its rightful owner.
we had a request to review this app and can't thank the reader enough for asking. what a great app! not only does it backup your contacts and photos, but it also scans your phone for viruses. and the best part is obviously the fact that it can help you locate your phone should you lose it or have it stolen.
we finally purchased the multimedia docking station for our motorola droid and i'm actually very satisfied with it. it allows you to do everything on your phone still and will serve as an excellent alarm clock for me. in fact i purchased it so that i could use it at night as my clock, but it does so much more than just that.
an unexpected feature was its use of the new flan gallery which we've been raving about for weeks now. at $30 through verizonwireless.com, i suggest taking a look at it...
we've now purchased 3 different motorola droid hard plastic cases and have the definitive review. we got one from accessorygeeks.com, another from daydeal.com and our final one from verizonwireless.com and we'll tell you which one you need to buy through our latest video...
