Wasted Continuum

The day has finally come when Android will land for real. T-Mobile will hold a press conference to announce the first Android OS phone tomorrow morning at 9:30am central time. They have already launched a T-Mobile G1 site. Yes, you read that correctly. The phone we all thought would be named the HTC Dream, is apparently being named the G1. I think they should of stuck with Dream. Much catchier than G1. TmoNews just leaked some of the latest info on the G1. You can check out the rundown on the specs there. Not sure how accurate it is, but nowadays, I just don’t think these companies keep things under wrap to well anymore. Anyway, I’m psyched and I really just want to see this thing in person. If it is as good as some of the hype I’ve been hearing, I will likely get one for myself.

I finally got a second drive for my Drobo today. I’ve a 500GB drive in there since I originally got the storage robot back in April. Having only one drive did not provide protection against drive failure so I didn’t really use my Drobo yet. Today, I got my 750GB hard drive that I added to it. Now, according to my Drobo Dashboard, I have 461.42GB of protected data. I already backed up all my digital photos on there. That was a huge relief. That’s one of the major reason why I bought the Drobo. Next, I will back up my movies and my music on there. The Drobo is just so easy to use. I have to recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to deal with a RAID system and doesn’t want to worry about their sole backup drive failing on them. As of right now, Amazon is selling it for $474.67.

I wrote this last night, but had server problems. They are resolved now.

I got my Drobo today. The construction on it is solid. It looks very slick. I haven’t booted it up yet. It actually suggests using two hard drives to begin with. I only have one 500GB right now. I think I might buy another one. There’s a Maxtor 500 on Amazon for $89.99. That’s not bad at all. I’ll have photos up soon.
