The Motorola Droid has been an intresting experiment. Basically just a small handheld computer, an Android phone loads a very small version of Linux, upon which you load all of your apps. Part of it reminds me of the old days of DOS, when you had to watch your memory usage and fit as much as you could onto a floppy disk.
Android phones are no different than those old DOS computers I mentioned: you have to be careful to not overload your phone with too many apps, and not to run too many processes that could drag your phone down. That old excitement of trying different combinations of applications and experimenting has returned!

Coinciding with their reunion tour in 2008, Concord has issued a recent compilation of Return To Forever’s tracks from their “classic line-up” (as many call it) with Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola (or Bill Connors on this group’s first recording) and Lenny White. There was an anthology from several years ago, but it only covered their tracks on the Polydor label. This is the first compilation to include their best-selling Romantic Warrior album from the Columbia family.
