Recording and Playing With Androids

So today (and yesterday) was just one big day of Borderlands 2 plus a lot of fiddling around with some specific apps on Android.

One of test categories of apps included recording apps. But the tests I conducted was more on the microphone quality of each of the phones we have. Turns out they all pretty much suck. Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but they're all decent for phones. They're quite sensitive to every bit of sound so you can hear the humming of the furnace, the clicking and clacking of the keyboard, the mouse, etc.

The phone I was using, however, had the best playback. But only if you flip the phone around. Why? Because of the placement of the speaker. They kind folks at Motorola decided to place it in a spot that would be muffled if you laid the phone flat on any surface. Good for them.


Next up would be various music recognition apps that I got about a week ago. I've been having quite a bit of fun with them as they happened to have some Momoiro Clover songs in their databases. Sadly, they're not exactly the most accurate, but if I searched for the song specifically I can usually find them except for the very latest songs (like Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimi-tachi yo).
