Many smaller laptops/netbooks often come with a lack of USB ports. Something as simple as a mouse and flash drive pretty much pushes the limits of what smaller hardware can accommodate. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Noooo sir. When the going gets tough, the tough get a 24-port USB hub. What anyone could possibly need 24 for at any given moment is beyond me. But I guess it’s nice to have the option, right? Pick yours up from Chinavasion for $28 bucks...

If one word could sum up Android, it would be this: Unlimited. It’s literally unlimited what end users can *willingly* do with it. I mean, ports of ROMS traverse hardware boundaries and limitations, features added in after the fact bring about a more functional device, and then of course, completely different operating systems show perhaps the ultimate form of user customization.

The last week has seen Android 2.1 (Flan) as the current “must have” for Droid users. I myself...

Android’s openness and easily tweakable nature is quickly making it a hackers dream. If you don’t like something, fix it. In regards to the Droid, the biggest shortcoming many have voiced is the lack of multitouch support within the browser specifically as the Droid does actually have multitouch. (Just look at Dolphin browser on the Droid — it’s built in, Google just didn’t take advantage of it.) Watching the video (below) is enough to make...
