@THE_REAL_SHAQ is Real And Uses Google Android …

If there is one celebrity who is up to speed with the latest in the world of technology it has to be Phoenix Suns basketball star Shaquille O’Neal. He’s an avid twitterrer and apparently uses a Google Android G1 to stay in touch with his followers according to this blogger who decided to literally follow Shaq after the big guy tweeted he was at a local diner …

“I know it’s dorky man, but can I get a pic with you?” I asked, slightly intimidated.

“Of course” he said, “Pull up a seat” The behemoth slid over and patted the booth next to him. As I pulled out my phone to take a picture he snatched it out of my hand and inspected it.

“What’s this got? Windows Mobile?”
“Um… yeah”

He gave it the once over before handing it back and showing off his Google Phone. We talked for a bit, and snapped a photo for both Sean and me before shaking hands and returning to our table. I almost got the feeling he wanted us to hang out, but we didn’t really want to push our luck.

“Make sure you put that on your web page” he said as we walked away.

Whatever you think of the guy he sure seemed to know the difference between Windows Mobile and Google Android which I think is really cool.
