Today is the anniversary of the Invention of the Barcode. When you use a barcode scanner (I used my HTC Hero) and scan that image above, it reads Google. Very interesting indeed. Read more about barcodes and the history of how it came about.
For those interested, I used “Barcode Scanner” that’s available on Android Market.
I’m sure everyone by now knows I’ve recently purchased an HTC Hero. Google Listen is a podcast application for Android phones, much like what iTunes on the iPhone offers, which is sorely lacking on the Android. Google Listen allows you to search for podcast within itself and subscribe to them. But most podcasts I listen to aren’t searchable from Google Listen. But I finally found out how to add your favourite podcast feeds into Google Listen.
For Tech65‘s 65bits podcast, go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/65bits from your Browser and a popup will appear asking you whether if you want to complete action using the Browser or Listen. Select Listen and this podcast will be added to your subscription. Awesome! Do the same for DigressCast, with http://feeds.feedburner.com/DigressCast and you’ve subscribed to 2 great podcasts.
This is the problem I’m having with the HTC Hero. I went to SIS Technologies at Leng Kee Road and got it reflashed. That did not fix this problem at all. I’m pretty pissed off with this problem because this keeps popping up and makes a few apps not work at all. I hope to get the entire phone replaced and pray that’ll fix the problem. Sigh. I’m sad.
It’s been some time since I’ve last blogged, and I’ve been really busy writing reviews for CodeAndroid. Here’s my latest article for them reviewing the HTC Hero. This will be a 3 part series, where the first part will be about the hardware, and two parts will be about the software. So look out for the articles which will be out over the next few days.
HTC Hero Review Part 1: The hardware
HTC Hero Review Part 2: The Sense
We @ tech65.org also did a quick video overview about the hardware and we will do an in-depth review once Tech65 gets its hands on a review unit.
