The DROID Bionic looks like a nice addition to Verizon Wireless's DROID lineup.

It fulfills the industry standard of a dual-core processor, and 1GB of RAM. It has a few added bonuses like very nice cameras, good stock storage, 4G connectivity, Gingerbread, and a very good battery. It rocks a very nice 4.3" qHD display, so plan on getting a good amount of enjoyment out of media on this bad boy. Like all 4G phones right now, it's going to drop in battery life quickly. I still wouldn't recommend a 4G phone until more applications and uses come from the need of higher speeds, but if you're going to get one, the DROID Bionic is competing with all of the other 4G phones.

Android App of the Week: Skyfire Web Browser

Most Android devices come with some run-of-the-mills, terribly coded web browser. On most people's phones, it's called 'Internet' or 'Web'. The lovely people over at Skyfire have created a web browser that is in my opinion the most superior web browser out there.

Skyfire gives you the ability to favorite things, to 'like' things, has a downloads folder for easy viewing of downloads, allows the best display/changing between multiple window tabs and multiple windows, gives you quick access to social sites like Facebook and Twitter, and best of all makes use of the wonderful feature known as hardware acceleration.

Hardware acceleration is when a computer uses it's components to help increase load times. In the case of cell phones, this means that the phone isn't rendering most of the page via the web browser itself, rather it is sending some of the information to the processor in order to increase the time at which it loads the page. In essence, processors can read and show you information a lot faster than just relying on your internet connection.

And best of all, Skyfire is free!
