I have a Samsung Vibrant android phone and was browsing through the "live wallpaper" in the android market. I came across one called "Earth Live Wallpaper" that looked pretty cool. Its a rotating planet Earth with the moon in orbit. Little did I know that when you go into the settings you can change the planet to any in our solar system - and quite a few more! They have a whole slew of star wars planets such as Endor, Tatooine, Naboo, Hoth, Geonosis, Death Star 1&2, Coruscant, and a bunch more. If you have an android phone that does live wallpaper check it out. Its free! Here's a pic I found on google images.

I've got a co-worker that's loaded a bunch of iPhone Star Wars apps because I always talk about Star Wars. When we have free time he tries to stump me with a trivia one. -Campbell SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Probably not! Though, now I have to go and look up this trivia app. The worst app, sadly, is that lightsaber one. I had to buy it because, well, you know. However, it was even a waste of 99 cents. I keep hoping that the ForceCast app gets better because as of now, it's still better to listen to it on the actual iPod. Still, that was worth the price if only to support them and the cause. Every day I hope to see an update for it, though. THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.

It's also updated weekly, so he gets new sets of questions regularly. Don't know what it's called other than "Star Wars Trivia." He also gets a big kick out of the Soundboards. -Campbell SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

If you remember, have the time, and don't mind, would you ask him if he actually purchased the one? It's not expensive, but wasting money is not my thing if I can avoid it. THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.

I actually like the Force Cast app as well. It has some "extras" at times, and the best part is that the mp3 podcast files don't take up any disc space, since the show is streamed through the app.

I love the phone more than death, but I can't deal with the dropped calls or the AT&T service any longer. Back to Verizon next year and most likely a Droid, unless Apple finally cuts exclusivity ties with AT&T and offers an iPhone with other carriers.

Since I was eligible for an upgrade I picked up the new Samsung Vibrant from the Galaxy S line and I love it! In fact, most people that see it think its an iPhone 3G at first.

I'll find out what the trivia app is called that he has. I can tell you this- he uses some program to get apps free that normally charge. For example, he has The Force UInleashed free as well. I don't know apps, but I know when he downloads the new ones they arrive through the Gameshark-like app. -Campbell SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Who can forget the epic day at one Star Wars Weekends where, during their trivia trials, I got all the way up to the inside stage, knocked all comers out, and ended in.... third place. Beaten, defeated, by a girl probably no older than 14. I still wake up sometimes, screaming. I need to be saved... from my dreams. THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.

You have to have a jailbroken iphone but you can download apps with it for free.

I like thecommercials for Tom Tom, but I have to admit, I don't think I could tolerate a character voice for very long. Especially in town or when I needed to hear a lot of directions close together. -Campbell SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

It is very cool but it does get irritating after a wile I think I am going to get Han Solo. There are some free downloads on the site, instead of a car on your map you can have an X-Wing or a Death Star they have a bunch more that are very cool. Just go to the Tom Tom site under Star Wars.

If I had an iPhone there's no doubt in my mind that I'd buy this. -Campbell SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.
