I love the ColorNote Notepad Notes app. It's simple and you choose text or checklist. Assign a title. <br />
My standard titles (categories) Groceries Errands Restaurants Movies <br />
Love the delete x when you've got everything on your list!

Scene: Saturday morning at busy community library. Power goes out (and stays out for 35 minutes). Uh - oh! There's a group of kids in the basement meeting room (no window room) making Valentines. Phone in my pocket. Downstairs I go . . . the parents had already pulled out their Smart phone flashlights. I loaned my flashlight phone to a very trusted teen volunteer and the kids contentedly continued the Valentine making adventure in a 'new' light! btw: It's hard to keep fresh batteries in an emergency flashlight. The wind up flashlight was not as quick or powerful as my phone app light.<br />

Simple fact: I can type quickly on the Motorola Droid pull-out keyboard.<br />
<br />
Tips: <br />
Screen shot. I love this! Press the top power button and the down volume button at the same time and you'll get a screen shot. Of course, you then need to find it. Check out your Gallery app.<br />
<br />
L - o - n - g press. No, it is not a fitness term. But it will yield some possibilities on the Droid that are invisible otherwise. Long press will give you a select, copy and paste option.<br />
<br />
To open your phone? Swipe "the key" to the right. It's just a tiny bit faster that way! Swipe it down to go immediately to texting. Swipe up to get to your phone.<br />
<br />
Anyone else use an Android Motorola? There are some texting quirks . . . .Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07541042598321240283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486986752762104051.post-81079033891935145662014-01-18T13:00:00.000-08:002014-01-18T13:00:41.926-08:00What's in a name?I've been addressed by many names bridging two professional careers, first in teaching, then in libraries. I was Miss Mxxxx, then attempted to be Mrs. Mxxx Exxx but two last names confused students at that time . . . way back. I opted for simplicity and became Ms. Mxxxx or Ms. Exxx, depending. When I moved to library work I could be just <u>Ann</u> which is the way I like it. Then delightful father/son patrons starting calling me LibrariANN, with the proper respect from the parent viewpoint, easy for the child to remember, and clever to boot.
