Two things today that caught my fancy with our favorite little robot; Android.

ColorWare

First, the company ColorWare is offering the service to give your Nexus One a new paint job. It’s only available in the US and costs $175 and a good, long three weeks away from your beloved, but you aren’t getting 3G coverage so it doesn’t really matter, right? Or, you can buy a brand spanking new unlocked Nexus One with colors of your choice for a hefty $800. All you need is a larger obsession for Android than me plus the $800 smack-a-smoli. Now all ColorWare needs to do is offer this service for my Droid.

You know, for $175 or $800 I would be so afraid of picking the right colors. I change my mind ALOT and being stuck with the same colors might make me regret it.

FunMail

A cool app for Android was released yesterday: FunMail. In a nutshell FunMail allows you to write out a text message and apply the text to a “relevant” picture. You can then send it to anyone who can receive picture mail or even email it.

Some of the choices of “relevant” pictures are spot on, and well, some are not. You can get kind of creative with what you want to say with your message and picture or just leave a lot up for interpretation. Or you can be completely inappropriate. It’s a lot of fun.

A couple of things about FunMail I don’t like is that there is a link on the bottom of the picture. I know that they have to get the word out, but maybe offer a cheap paid version that removes the link at the bottom. Next, you have to register by text message for the service. Seems like a little much for something that doesn’t do a lot and that may only be used a handful of times.

These two should satisfy the cheap-o and the baller out there.
