As an Android user I know that this is something I am waiting for impatiently, Netflix on an Android phone.  Rumor has it that there was even a job listing on the Netflix site for an “Android Video Playback Expert” under Partner Product Development.  I have not verified this myself but it seems to make sense that Netflix would want to jump on board the Android bandwagon.  Until then I keep my eyes peeled for any news regarding this topic.

I was just turned on to Brother Cadfael and his escapades in western England, in the first half of the 12th century.  The character of Brother Cadfael was created by the linguist-scholar Edith Pargeter under the name “Ellis Peters” and orignally appeared in a series of novels as well as on the radio.  I am currently watching the television series which stars Derek Jacobi who also portrayed the Roman emperor Claudius in the television series, I, Claudius.

I’m just getting started on Series I which was first aired in 1994 but so far I am hooked.  Given that the series was set in 12th century England I was skeptical but the character of Brother Cadfael is well developed and the stories are both entertaining and intriguing.  If you get the chance I highly recommend you check it out.

When I am mobile and need to tweet or follow Twitter there is only one application that I turn to, Seesmic for Android.  I enjoy the interface and the built-in features meet my ever Twitter need.  Mobile social media has never been easier.  If you have an Android phone then I highly recommend checking out Seesmic for Android.  It is the cats meow!
