Android Froyo is now available for Motorola Droid.  I have installed in on my Droid and it is running great.  Here is a link to manually install if you have not received a notification over the air.  Lastly, I downloaded and installed flash and it works fine.  I am excited to test it some more.

What’s New?

• 5 homescreens instead of 3
• USB tethering is here

• the app launcher now has faded and darkened top and bottom edges
• changed SMS app

Here is a link to a nice introduction into Flash / Flex Application Security.  I am curious if anyone has more information on the topic. Please leave a comment if you can point me in anymore directions. :)

If you don't already know Google Voice was released for everyone to use.  I wanted to see what it was all about so I signed up.  The signup was super easy and fast.  Google makes it kinda hard to screw up the whole process. One thing to note is that once you choose your first free number it will cost you $10 to change it in the future. I highly recommend that you find a number that is best for you the first time around.  

If you don't want to signup for a Google Number you can still use the voicemail service with your normal number.  The voicemail is cool because you can easily set a different voicemail for different groups of contacts in your contact list. Since I have a Motorola Droid it was really easy to do because Google already backs up all my phone contacts ;).  Another cool feature about the voicemail is that I get an email with a summary of what the message actually said.  Sometimes its way off but I have found it to be pretty accurate.

Google Voice also has a long distance calling plan, text msging, call forwarding etc etc. If you wanna learn about all the features and goodies just go here:
