I'm always down for giving (and receiving) tips or advise on doing things in a better way. One common area I see that could use some addressing is Android Smart phones.

Technology is great if you can put it to particle use. One of the best uses for me personally of technology is my home setup that allows me to stream videos, pictures or music stored on my computer to the TV in the living room, bedroom or else-ware.
