The Android OS 2.3.4 update hit my Nexus One on May 3, 2011. Since the N1 does not have a front-facing camera, it didn’t get the Google Talk video chat option.

8 Apps Booted off my Droid
Android 1.0 design decisions continue to plague my Android experience. I booted 8 apps off of my Droid today to get back some much needed system storage space. Of the 8 apps booted off only Firefox allowed itself to be moved to SD flash storage. However, it is so slow on the Droid, I decided to uninstall it. Two of the apps that would not install to an SD were actually small and did not impact the storage situation much. The 7 apps that do not relocate to an SD card and got booted off are:
CNBC 0.344
Google Goggles 3.38
Google Reader 2.29
INRIX Traffic 2.93
PdaNet 0.276
State Farm Pocket Agent 3.73
The Weather Channel 2.52A total of 15.47MB of app storage space was recovered by uninstalling these apps.

Tower Madness HD: Interesting But Not my Cup of Tea
Tower Madness HD for the iPad is a free tower defense type game. The object is to place weapons in the path of the invading aliens to protect the sheep (sheep?). My problem with it is too difficult at the very first level. It seems to want to force you to make an in-app purchase (using real money) to buy better weapons.
Addictive games tend to be easy in the beginning to let your learn the rules and draw you in. Addictive games also provide enough interactivity to keep you interested and engaged. Tower Madness HD simply runs on automatic pilot for wave after wave after wave of invading aliens after you place the weapons on the playing field. I’m surprised it made it so high up the iTunes iPad free apps list (it is currently #4). I’m uninstalling it from my iPad. Next!
