This is very good news for Android geeks like me.

I just got a Droid, but I'm not a 'geek', i need classes on it. Is this an app? that is me when i'm trying to work it. Each day i figure something new out on it.

OK..... pardon me, but I need a geek translation. I'm old.

Does this mean all droids from Verizon or a particular model ?

Sounds like they've bought a bunch of discontinued phones and are planning to rent them out for length of visit premium use, not that there would be a publicly available app for all android users. I don't see anything useful here.

These aren't the droids I'm looking for.

That's what I thought, too.

When I read the link, I sent it to my DS for a translation!

Still no Disney love from AT&T...

And here I was hoping for DHI- Disney Host Interactive

I have a new I phone (named bubblegum - pink case - adorable). I have found MANY free and/or very affordable APS availalble to answer just about any questions I have.

Wait times, reported fastpass return times, thorough map---like we need them after 20 years of trips! - comprehensive dining information....and more.

When I'm out of town and talking with DH at night....I'll pull up an AP and we talk about waitimes or parades, shows or I look for new restaurnts to try. Last night we discussed the menu and prices at Shula's......48 oz porterhouse...who could eat that? ..... and $81 - whew!

I think my total investment has been $ 4.98 for the 5 aps on my phone.


I have not had Bubblegum on a Disney trip. What is the coverage like at WDW. I know my Sprint phone was...um...ok, not great.


Ps...if you have an Iphone, don't download the game...angry birds. You will be addicted!

I haven't had any coverage problems at WDW. Used my iPhone at Saratoga Springs, BoardWalk, Kidani plus all of the parks. Only problem was occasionally losing signal indoors but that can happen anywhere.

HEY, neato!
I'd try it if it's not expensive...
Curious to see what the bonuses would be.

 

[kimpossible]

Wish I could just purchase that app for my own Android phone (Sprint). I would pay the fee.

 

[y2kdave]

Any hope for a Palm app?
