It's not as pretty as the iPhone, but the T-Mobile G1, the first smartphone to run Google's sleek new Android operating system, has a slick slide-out keyboard, a big bright screen and a lot of power. The "Google Phone" supports loads of applications downloaded from the online Android marketplace — games and programs, like encyclopedias, guitar-teaching tools and time-wasters like Pac-Man — and easily handles graphics-heavy applications such as Google Maps, Web browsing and video. The Android marketplace isn't as robust as the iPhone app store yet, but someday it will be, as more Android phones hit the market and developers start churning out apps. Price: $179.99, plus monthly service fees More Info: t-mobileg1.com

Thing #23 The end, or the beginning?

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I loved the YouTube exercise and the online image generators.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

Technology is growing at an unbelievable rate and as a Librarian, it is my job to continue to grow in my knowledge and skills regarding this technology.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

Since alot of the people I work with are not as tech savvy as myself, it might be a good idea to make the steps on the exercises just a little easier to follow.

And last but not least…

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?

Definitely!!!
