NYC Celebrates the Yankees!
J&R would like to congratulate the New York Yankees on their 27th World Series win! We were proud to have a float in the parade that worked its way through the Canyon of Heroes. Andy Pettitte, along with his family were on the J&R float.
The last World Series victory for the Yankees was in 2000, so it had been almost a decade since the Yankees had a ticker-tape parade. Fans started lining up as early as 4 in the morning in anticipation of the celebration.
We here at J&R are beyond thrilled to have been a part of the parade. It truly was an honor to be a sponsor of this event. Enjoy these photos from the parade!

The Androids Are Landing
An invasion is occurring. Androids are slowly taking over as they penetrate our mobile electronics industry. Android is no alien sci-fi creature.

T-Mobile has MyTouch, an Android cellular phone with quick access to Google. General Mobile has the DSTL1 unlocked cell phone that is also Android based. Coming around the corner is the Archos 5, an MP3 audio/video player that also doubles as an Internet tablet. Using Android, the Internet aspect of the Archos 5 is far more powerful and expansive than ever. It is the most affordable and portable way to enjoy web capabilities for a pocket device with a relatively large screen.
