ping.fm is a social application that ties all your social pages (facebook, myspace, aol, twitter, etc etc) into one app. the android application allows you to update all your pages with one post. it also allows microblogging and blogging. the only drawback I would say is that you can't see messages or wall posts with the app

Brando Wireless Keyboard Review
As I said a few weeks ago, I had a Brando wireless keyboard w/ touch pad on order.
Well, a week and a half later, it showed up on my doorstep.
So, without further ado... iwanttech.com presents the product review
Shipping and Customer Service:
I didn't know this at first, but all these items ship from Hong Kong. I was getting pretty frustrated with the whole ordeal, I even emailed Customer support about it. They were very calm and helpful through their emails,
explaining that the product shipped from Hong Kong and to expect a longer ship time than usual U.S. orders.
After all was said and done, I was very pleased by their customer service.
Product Review:
Range:
I was pleasantly surprised with the power and range of this small device.
As soon as I plugged it in, went across the room to my couch and found I could still control both mouse and keyboard without any kind of lag or interference. I even stepped back into my kitchen and could still use both mouse and Keyboard.
touch pad:
The touch pad is smaller than I thought it would be. I really think they could have made the pad larger than it is. Be prepared to set your mouse sensitivity up to keep your hand movements to a minimum.
Keyboard:
A standard QWERTY Keyboard with full F1-12 support. It's a standard Laptop size keyboard, so if you're not used to it already (as I am) you might not like it's compact design.
The keys are good quality, it doesn't feel like they will fall off in your hands if you type too hard.
Media keys:
The "media Keys" as I like to call them are superb. I love sitting on the couch and hitting Pause, Play, Mute, etc. You can switch tracks, eject a disc, or even put your computer into standby mode.
The internet and e-mail keys are handy as well.
Power Saver:
The Power saving switches are great, as you don't always need to have the touchpad on. The option to switch both off is handy.
CONS:
-needs a bigger touchpad surface
-needs to run on something other than 4 AAA's. Something rechargeable would be great.
-I keep hitting the small windows button to the right of the keyboard...they could just get rid of it or reposition it.
-click and drag is a drag...hard to keep the mouse from going beserk.
- no scroll feature on the touchpad, or even a seperate scroll wheel.
