Calling it quits for awhile..

April 1st, 2010
84

Well, I’ve finally seen the light. I got my hands on an Apple iPad today and it truly is a magical thing. So magic that I’ve sold all of my Android devices and bought several fine pairs of old-school Jnco pants with the huge pockets that can hold a 40oz of St. Ides so I can carry the magic with me everywhere I go. Sorry Android, it’s been great, but things change. I’m already hard at work on CyanogenMod for the iPad! I can already feel the magic.

C’est la vie Android, it’s been real. You can check out my work-in-progress for the iPad HERE.

    I did the same thing. I actually used my Nexus One battery as fuel to light all my Android phones on fire so I’d never have to see another Force Close popup again. It’s back to the good ol’ open iPhone platform, where… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
