Asus DR-900

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Really this post has nothing to do with web design but I still like to bring some technology updates to the site when I can.  I like e-readers but have yet to purchase one.  For any news feeds or email on-the-go I use my Android phone but the new devices from ASUS may change my mind a bit as long as the price is decent.

ASUS has announced the upcoming release of the DR-900 e-reader.  So far the specs look promising.

  • 1024×768 screen resolution
  • WiFi (optional 3G as well)
  • 2GB internal storage (plus an SD expansion slot)
  • USB port
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • PDF, ePub, HTML and other formats
  • Support for the Kindle Store

I just hope the price is a bit more manageable than the other e-readers.  I just do not travel enough to warrant spending nearly $300 on one of these.  ASUS is know for making some good quality products at great prices, so I hope that they keep the trend with the DR series.

Slow Android Phone

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

We here at DBH Creative love our Android phones.  They just make organizing our clients and their projects so much easier.  Like all electronics, they are not impervious to the dreaded lag.  In this world of instant access, no one likes to push a button and wait even 3 seconds for a reaction.  If you have a rooted, Android OS based phone, then there is a way to bring back the original zip of your device.  You can delete a file called dalvik-cache from the system.  Dalvik-cache is like a storage bin for application data in the AndroidOS and information is just piled up, new on top of old.  By deleting the file, the OS can start fresh by rebuilding the file and in turn it removes those precious seconds lost.  We know how frustrating that is.

Deleting Dalvik-Cache

This can only be completed on a rooted phone.

  1. Go to the Terminal Emulator and enter the following
  2. $ su
  3. # cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
  4. # rm *
  5. $ exit
  6. # exit
  7. Reboot your phone (this will take a bit longer than usual as the OS rebuilds the dalvik-cache file)

Enjoy your speedy Android phone again.
