Welcome to my blog. I'm trying to post things whenever I get inspired to write something. Sometimes it's more often, and sometimes not so much. The subject can vary quite a lot, but it tends to be mostly about tech.

I noticed that my last post about Android might have come of as a little too hostile towards Android and Google. I really am a quite happy Android user/developer, and my next phone will most probably be an Android as well. If I ever buy a tablet, it will probably be an Android. I use Googles service...
First of all I want to mention that I use Android, I have since version 1.5. It's easily the best mobile OS on the market at the moment. Having said that, however, I have are some concerns about the whole state of Android.
