My school district recently switched from Verizon to Sprint for service allowing me to select a new phone to replace my Verizon Blackberry 8830. In the interest of understanding the Android camp, I choose a Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S) running Andoid Froyo 2.2.1. Based on release dates this puts the generation on par with my iPhone 4. My goal is not to replace my iPhone 4 but to understand if it would be possible and what I would lose (or possibly gain) in a switch to Google’s promising mobile OS. » Read more: Dabbling in Android

About
- For new comers who haven’t read my stuff before, welcome. I am a technology and gadget addict with a 20+ year background in computers and networking. I have been developing in VB.NET officially for about 5 years and dabbled in automation languages (Perl, PHP, vbscript, etc.) previous to that. I have served several tours of duty on various help desks and even a telephone support role for a PC Manufacturer. I am now the network manager for a local school district and enjoying the change of pace from technical to managerial. I have several articles published with Novel Cool Solutions and love to write technical reviews and walkthroughs. I am an avid Linux user for solutions like MythTV, Asterisk and other appliance type solutions. I am also experienced in Windows since 3.11 and have 3 Windows 2003 Servers as well. I run hosted Exchange 2003 for a few clients as well as web sites. For the last several years I have been the director of product development for an unstructured text analytics start-up. After losing funding in that venture I was filling the days doing private consulting on a variety of support and implementation roles as well as some custom data portal development in the telecom damage recovery area for data collection. I also did several SharePoint implementations and continue to support the efforts of the start-up.
