Adventures in Smart world

Picked up my first smart phone yesterday and can't believe I waited this long.  I'm not a prolific phone user and rarely use my phone for calls and texts so have always maintained that a key feature for any of my phones is battery life as I keep forgetting to charge it.  I have been really impressed by the HTC Wildfire S as there seems to be almost limitless potential as the app store is enormous.  I have the SDK so might start taking a look at porting some simple AI apps to test it out.  So far I have downloaded apps for facebook, blogger, endomondo, evernote and a few of the other top rated apps. 

It looks great and runs everything really well.  I like the integration with google and facebook so all my contacts are now linked.  The only downside I've found so far is the battery life which was almost empty after I had played with it for about two hours last night.  The trade off is that it comes with a USB charger as well as mains so I can just plug in to my computer whilst at work. 

Completed a 4.4mile run yesterday at lunch so will be taking a rest today as the legs and knees are aching a bit.  Next time I'll be able to take the phone to track the runs!
