iPhone vs Droid

The iPhone has a new target. The Droid. The Droid is said to be better than the iPhone for having a network that will actually let you connect people's calls consistently. The Droid hasn't officially announced a release date yet, but it is expected to launch midnight, October 31. The Droid is defiantly not going to be the iPhone killer, but it is expected to do very well. The iPhone has a clearer screen and cleaner cut than the Droid. If it doesn't matter to you if you can see the screen clearer, then its up to you to decide which one is better.

New Polaroid Digital Camera


Even though their aren't any more Polaroid film cameras, you can still have instant photos with the new PoGo. The PoGo is an instant digital camera, like the Polaroid. It is a compact snap shooter with a built-in printer that lets you capture and instantly print 2 by 3 photos. The estimated price for the PoGo is around 200 dollars. It is supposed to hit stores in July, 2010. The Pogo is an ink less system that uses heat-activated dye crystals to produce an image in about a minute. The back of the photos have an adhesive backing so you can also use them as double stickers. The camera has a 3 inch screen for you to view what you are taking pictures of, or to view what picture you just took. The paper you use can come in a set of 30, for 12.99, or you can buy one for 43 cents each. It is not expected for it to have great pictures because of the super cheap prices, but we will have to just wait and see.

Water on the Moon!

Scientists have found water on the moon. On September 25, the new findings from NASA's Luner Reconnaissance Orbiter, the moon is still drier than any desert on Earth, but there is said to be water in some very small quantities. 40 years ago, Apollo astronauts returned from the moon with lunar rocks that had water bound minerals. Some say that in the future NASA will be putting a water base building for the water to be turned into drinking water. So maybe eventually we will be drinking water from the moon!
