			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest skype update in itunes app store brings video call capabilities to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/iphone_os" title="IOS (Apple)" rel="homepage" href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone">iOS</a> devices. Now, you can do video calls among your iOS device and desktop. It is better than <a class="zem_slink" title="FaceTime" rel="homepage" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/facetime.html">Facetime</a> because:</p>
<ul>
<li>Facetime supports iOS and Mac OS X (beta) only, while <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/skype" title="Skype" rel="homepage" href="http://skype.com">Skype</a> supports Windows on top of that.</li>
<li>Facetime works with Wifi (if you do not jailbreak), while Skype works on AT&amp;T 3G network.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am wondering when this feature will be available to the Skype app on Android devices.</p>
<p>While I am writing this, I think <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/apple_computer" title="Apple" rel="homepage" href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> is a super fan of Cisco. Not to mention that they licensed iPhone trademark from Cisco (Linksys) in 2007, they also recently licensed iOS trademark from Cisco as well. Oh, they are both headquartered in CA. Plus, both of their names are 5 letters! Just kidding, actually Apple is older than Cisco (1976 vs 1984).</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>

<p>This morning I picked up a Droid from my the local VZW store. My iPhone was out of contract and I have been looking forward to an android phone.</p>
<p>Overall, I like this phone</p>
<ul>
<li>It seems to be more responsive compared to my iPhone.</li>
<li>Plus it has two apps I have been wanting &#8211; <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000042acea" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com">Google</a> Voice and Google Maps Navigation.</li>
<li>I like android os.</li>
</ul>
<p>Issues I am having:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000261462" title="Verizon Wireless" rel="homepage" href="http://www.verizonwireless.com">Verizon Wireless</a>&#8216;s 3G coverage is worse than <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000008f0449" title="AT&amp;T" rel="homepage" href="http://www.att.com/">AT&amp;T</a> in my basement, contrary to what they claimed in the commercials.</li>
<li>It seems only one Google calendar is supported (sync-ed), although multiple gmail accounts can be added into the phone.</li>
<li>(normal) Yahoo mails are not supported by default.</li>
<li>On iPhone, you can see the number of unread emails, texts, etc, in a red circle attached to the application. There is no such information on Droid.</li>
<li>I actually do not need the built-in keyboard since I have been used to iPhone&#8217;s software keyboard.</li>
<li>Lack of (other) decent apps, compared to what I had on my iPhone.</li>
</ul>
<p>I will try it for some more time and decide whether to keep it.</p>
