Today marks the one year anniversary of the first publicly available Android phone the HTC Dream T-Mobile G1 as it made its debut on October 22nd, 2008.

I have been talking about Android for well over a year as I presented and spoke on panels at SMX Advanced, PubCon, BarCamps, Google User Technology Groups, SMX East as well a recent Cornell University study.

Driving can be one of life’s finest frustrations. Getting lost, encountering traffic, and not being able to find exactly what your looking for are all stresses that make driving, especially in an unknown area, such an unpleasant experience.

Odd that it took this long since apparently I have been Speaker and the presiding officer of the House of Commons since 2000.
