What do you do for a living?

Is this Al Bundy?

No. This is.

Applications Engineer. Design supermarket refrigeration systems. Getting certification for energy rater/auditor in California.
 
Tech support monkey, currently. Faced with a new commute, looking for options.

We do have a lot of Android phones at work though, even if only a couple of us have the Eris instead of the Moto Droid.

The videos we have are in a special format called "3GP." In order to view these, you need special codecs, or better yet, a special player.

Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 5.8.0 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.8.0 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.8.0 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools

Download the full version to get all codecs as well as Media Player Classic. I use it to play all movies I download, as well as the videos on my phone.

There will be a lot of options and menus and what not during setup, just go with the defaults. 3GP should be able to be viewed after that.
 
I own a public relations firm and I'm celebrating our 19th year! Love accessing my office PC from my Eris when I'm in a meeting and need some info. Always impresses somebody.

In a former life, I wrote firmware for supermarket refrigeration control systems. Not sure if that is similar to your work.
 
As yet nobody's come in and admitted to doing nothing for a living.

Gads, all Eris users work? But it's such an inexpensive phone.

:D
 
I was actually hoping to hear some health care professions, namely physicians. See if any found the platform useful. I guess I could just go to the hospital and see what phones they have but..

Quicktime plays them, too.

I see a lot of Blackberries amongst doctors. Curves, mainly.

Quite a few of the nurses I work with have Eris or Droid, but I haven't seen any of the docs with them yet.

I find it quite usefull in the field.
 
I worked in retail when I was in college and it sucked. People make the most ridiculous demands of you and can't understand why it is a problem. Watch Clerks sometime, the stuff they show in that movie is pretty mild compared to some of the stuff I remember.

^ This. Clerks is my life. Especially when I was in blockbuster, I often found myself quoting Randal by saying, "I don't watch movies."

Clerks pertains to all retail though, even at Apple I get people who count cartons of eggs (try on EVERY Incase Slider Case to find the PERFECT plastic mold)
 
Well on the upside, if you are doing that you aren't writing speeding tickets.

Being in an unincorporated area, writing a speeding ticket would require a big enough idiot to actually pass me while I am doing the speed limit or above. (It has happened.)
 
air traffic controller - and part time contract pilot. i love this phone - no need for a laptop while sitting in the fbo awaiting on passengers.
 
New to the forum here BUT, work nights in a very busy ER and sometimes in the ICU as a tech, also in nursing school full time, about a year to go. Got an undergrad degree, did the corporate world thing for a while and hated it so about 3 yrs ago I went to work in the ER and started taking classes to get into nursing school and haven't looked back!

At smacky, most of the ER docs that I work with have Iphones, BB's, and a few with old Palm Treo's. The Iphones are definitely the majority though. No droids.
 
Currently a bank teller, in a couple years will be a social worker. My husband is also an Eris lover and he's active duty Air Force.

Resurrecting this thread like Jesus. But you never mentioned what you did. :cool: We didn't forget. Something to do with a clinic or a hospital is what it seems.
