The Story Of A Wannabe Giant

So, yesterday I installed Windows Mobile 6.5 on my HTC and decided to finally go rummaging through Google to look for some decent applications and cool things I could use the accelerometer for. Now I’ve probably been under a rock for the past couple of months because I haven’t seen anything like this before, I was so amazed at how far we have come regarding mobile phone technology, here’s a few cool things I picked up.
Firstly, my favourite – It’s a QRcode barcode link, you need an app to use it first, you can find it here – I went with I-nigma barcode reader… Because it’s awesome and it’s the first one I found
you run this app, then when ever you see the special barcode thingy online / magazine, just point your phone at it and it automatically scans it, and takes you direct to the download link, it is so fucking awesome I’ve been downloading crap just to use it.
One of the awesome apps I downloaded from it was HDboobs .. It’s a pair of boobies on your phone that you can shake around! If you already know about all this and already have a barcode reader, you can find the download link here:
Awesome right? Another cool app I found was ShakeAndSave, have this program running in the backround and shake your phone no matter what program you’re running and it will take a screen shot of it and save it as a Jpeg, Png, BMP or Gif. Here’s a Twitpic of.. well Twitter that I took a screen shot of! 
Another awesome thing I came across with WM 6.5 was Microsoft my phone. It enables you to sync / backup everything on your phone on the go, where ever you are, you have a limit of 200 megs, which is a decent amount if it’s a couple of sms’s / contacts or pics you’d like to backup. It took me a couple of minutes to create an account through my phone, and wasn’t long to upload a couple of pictures and 200+ contacts and sms’s.
I saw something on TV a few months back that in the not so far off future, you’ll be able to use facial recognition software on your phone, take a pic of someone random and it will pull up as much information as it can about that person as well as popular social networking sites, that’s a bit creepy if you ask me, but what a good way to find out something about someone that you’re eyeing up in club? “Hey! My names frank and I LOVE dancing and riding camels in the desert!”
Anywho, I’m off to put on a long coat and jump around my room, swinging my new lightsabre phone around.
The End.
