I was thinking recently about how I got started using Google products and services. Then it dawned on me. The HTC Hero. If you don't know the HTC Hero was an Android phone by HTC released in 2009 exclusive to Sprint. I remember buying the phone and realized that I needed a Google account so I signed up on my computer and then quickly signed in on my phone. From there on, it has been all Google for me. I switched from Yahoo to Gmail. Firefox to Chrome. MapQuest to Google Maps. But that may have more to do with Mapquest than Google Maps.
Today, it's more or less the same. I use Google products and services and couldn't be happier. Not to say that it's perfect but works for me and fits my lifestyle. I’ll be writing a blog post on the Google services and products I currently use. Stay tuned for that!
My fondest memory of using my first Android phone wasn't really the UI but the window it opened for me into Google apps. Things just seem to work well and sync across any device I used. As for the phone, using it was cool and I saw that there was some potential there. I’ll just say early Android wasn’t that great.
So what started you in your tech-life? Was it a device or service? I would really like to know.
