I love geocaching with my G1 using GeoBeagle. It is a great phone with GPS abilities, and of course GeoBeagle is the best program out there for the Android platform for geocaching (plus, it’s free).

I made my first Wiki entry/edit today over at Cacheopedia. I made an entry on how to use GeoBeagle. Hopefully others will come along and help fill in what I left out.

Lots of New Caches Found Using My G1 and GeoBeagle

I have now found a total of 11 caches, 6 of which have been using my T-Mobile G1, and GeoBeagle that I downloaded off the Android Market. I have to say I find that the G1 does really well in the cover of woods. Far better than I expected. GeoBeagle is my favorite Android app

about 2 years ago - No comments

I talked how I was wanting to learn Java, so I could start making programs for the Android mobile phone platform. A project that I thought of, but is perhaps beyond my ability for any time soon, is an application that will tie in with MySpace, Facebook and expendable to other social network websites. Basically,

There is a phone platform coming out called Android, which is a project of the Open Handset Alliance. A number phone manufacturers are going to be making mobile phones based on the Open Handset Alliance specification, all of which use Android. To program for Android, you need to know Java, and so I am starting
