What a year... what an amazing ride; it really has been interesting to see how technology has changed my life personally and it has been my pleasure to chronicle the changing gadget landscape on a daily basis...
BGR gives a great recap, the emotions I've felt with the announcements of some of the mile-stones that we went through this year...
Looking back at 2011: iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus cap off the year of the smartphone
In reflecting, I can't believe how much I have changed personally; and how much things can change in a year. Unbeknownst to me back in February, I did not know that this little robot would take me on this incredible journey; all I knew back then was 1) I did not want an iPhone; 2) Something call Android has finally caught up to iPhone & 3) This is what I've been waiting for...
As you can recall, I actually started out the Android year with Eclair, which then got pushed OTA to Froyo, I did a factory reset, Mothers Day, and really ran with it for months; got rooted and flashed Gingerbread; played around for weeks with Honeycomb, Sense 3.0 then 3.5 and now ICS...
I feel like I just rode the coolest wave just when it was taking off; I knew, when I held the G1 that this was something special, finally a native mobile Gmail app! Nice... but it felt too soon; then all the buzz with the Nexus One..! Then the OG Droid.. Yes, it's getting close..! There was and is still such an emotional connection to be swept up in a global movement and to see Android adoption happen right before my eyes! How the timing was just perfect how Android unveiled it's technology to the world at exactly the time when I needed it personally and professionally.

I can't even imagine what 2012 will hold; there are things I want to see happen, but I can't even begin to predict what changes will take place. All I know is that we will probably be blown away again at the pace in which technology is changing and how it will affect our lives.
The guys really hit it home last night on the AC podcast... I can't wait to see what Android will bring; all I know is to buckle up, hold on tight because the dang robot has his booster rockets on overload...!http://www.androidcentral.com/podca...-82-2011-android-central-awards-and-look-2012
