Motorola Droid Review and Links
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Have a new Droid Phone? I have purchased my Droid at Walmart and found it to be a great deal. $188 out the door without having to deal with mail in rebates like you would at the Verizon Store.
One of the many great apps that I have used so far is QIK.COM. [qik user="dkwizard1"]
With this app, I was able to stream video of my sons soccer and cross country events live to the internet. Being new to the app, I didn’t realize that the default setting was set to private instead of public. Once I changed it, everyone was able to watch the events live. I liked the chat interaction from the people watching from the live stream. I did notice, as time went on, the lag was almost up to 4 minutes. I am guessing this is due to data congestion on the network. However, once I stopped the stream and restarted, all was ok again. I also noticed that It recorded the event on the website instead of my phone. That is a great space saving feature. At this point, I am not sure how long or how many videos I can save on the website. The best part about this app, is that it is free. One of the cons about the app is that there isn’t a zoom feature. One of the comments was that the viewers needed binoculars to watch the event live.
