heard about the new swype keyboard for your motorola droid?  here is how you can install it before it’s actually released!  and trust me, it’s worth it…

the directions:

1.  download and install the astro file manager from the android marketplace
2.  download this zip file.
3.  unzip that file, which will give you a file called “[mfhs]Swype-SwypeReference-WVGA854-trial-release.0.35.3959.apk”
4.  copy the apk file to your handset’s sd card
5.  on your android handset, go to settings > applications > and check the box next to “unknown sources”
6.  use astro to browse for the apk file on your sd card, install it.
7.  go to settings > language and keyboard. enable the swype keyboard.
8.  you should now be able to switch between the standard keyboard and the swype keyboard by tapping-and-holding on any text input field.
9.  and your done.

video tutorial…

(h/t droidmuff.in)

we are getting dumped on with snow as i type this in portland and i wanted to share the pics that the droid took today.  these are soooooooooo much better now with the camera fix from android update 2.0.1 aren’t they?

the snow storm provided a nice progression from light to dark and the droid seemed to handle it fine this time.  enjoy!

happy holidays everyone! today’s video is a simple tutorial on how to set up your bluetooth headset to your new motorola droid phone. seriously, nothing could be easier than setting up bluetooth to your droid. how can you not love this phone?

our newest video tutorial is a brief on how to multi-task while on a call with your motorola droid. iphone and at and t are all over verizon right now with their supposed limitations on sending data while on a call, and we’re here to show you all the stuff you can still do.

so maybe you can’t send an actual email while on the phone, but you can do so many other things. your twitter refreshes, weather updates, movie times update and the list just goes on and on…

check it out!

we showed you the video earlier this week of android 2.1 from the nexus one phone ported over to a motorola droid.  that video simply showed you the new boot screen, well now we have actual footage of the phone in action with multi-touch or “pinch-to-zoom” going on all over the place.

the phone also has the flip feature in your picture gallery so you can flip between pictures easier than by using the arrows as we do on android 2.0.1.

check it out!

that didn’t take long. just after the world hears of the nexus one phone coming out soon from google with android 2.1, a motorola droid shows up on youtube with android 2.1 already running.

check out the video here…
