+  I love the size! Finally I don’t have to haul around my giant G1 anymore!  It’s just a tad bigger than my Blackberry pearl.   

+ The camera takes great pics (in terms of camera phones…)!  Here’s a couple pics I’ve taken.

+  Not having a physical keyboard takes getting used too… but I’m finally figuring it out.  I will say this though, I’m a heck of a lot faster typing with my G1 than I am with the MyTouch.   I think the Samsung Bigfoot is going to be a big hit with it’s physical keyboard and relatively small design.  I think Motorola has a few full keyboard phones that will be big hits as well.

+  Cons ~ still no 3.5 mm jack. Uhg.  I have a 4gb SD card installed with lots of great tunes on it but if I want to hook it up to aux input in my truck I have to used the mini USB adaptor. 

In conclusion, if you want an android phone but are looking for something smaller than the G1, I highly recommend the HTC MyTouch 3G.  Great phone at a great price with all the outstanding android features (GPS, internet, accelerometer, frequent firmware updates, phennominal apps {a2b, Key Ring just to name a couple :) } ) If you have any questions, post em up!  Also, if you have the MyTouch, what are your thoughts?

At Froogloid we pride ourselves in providing great support for our products.  In an effort to provide outstanding customer support, I’ve created a short video that outlines tips for scanning barcodes from your screen.  We’ve received feedback from a few customers that they were having a difficult time getting the barcode to scan.   We’re very confident that if you follow our tips, your scanning success rates will GREATLY increase.  Believe me, I have 3rd degree black belt in scanning barcodes :)

Tip 1)  Do not use Key Ring at flatbed scanners.  Occasionally they will work but often they don’t.  

Tip 2)  Scan the barcode head-on!  Do not scan from an angle.  Otherwise, the laser will reflect off the screen and will not scan your barcode. 

Tip 3)  Turn your screen brightness down.  Less bright light means less interference when scanning.

Tip 4)  Keep your phone screen clean.  Prior to scanning, remove all fingerprints and smudges.

Tip 5)  Place the scanner 5 to 6 inches away from the screen.  Any closer or further away and it’s unlikely the barcode will scan. 

PLEASE note tips 2 and 5 are by far the MOST IMPORTANT!
