We Need a MiFi With A Built In Wireless Router

I was just reading about a new miniature Femtocell and was thinking, you know what would be really great, a Femtocell built into a MiFi along with a traditional wireless router.  I have found myself more then once in a nice hotel that thought they were doing me a favor offering free internet if I [...]

Stores Need To Allow Mobile Self Checkout

With this onslaught of mobile technology taking over and being the hot thing in tech (at least in my world) it’s clear that mobile money and transactions must take off.  I just bought a gift card from a hair stylest (for my wife) today and he used a Square to charge my credit card.  This [...]

AT&T Elevate 4G Mobile Hotspot Review

I’ve had the AT&T Elevate 4G for about a week now and it’s been nothing less then magnificent.  I got it last week at CES and used it on my way home to download some music and podcasts onto my iPhone.  Then the night I got home the internet in my house went down and instead of calling my [...]

Vimeo and Vlingo From Pepcom at CES ’12 in Las Vegas

Pepcom also known as Mobile Focus was held Monday before CES opened.  It was the biggest I’ve ever seen it and I was a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of it.  It was like a little trade show unto itself.  Anyways, I was able to snag Vlingo’s CEO Dave Grannan for a quick video.  Come [...]

Android Needs To Have A Vanilla Option For All Handsets

Android is getting a bad name in terms of fragmentation. It really is if I’m getting asked about it by my non mobile/non tech friends and I am, every weekend when I see them let alone the parents at my daughters school asking me about it.  Android is just getting slammed.  people know what they [...]

BlackBerry Bold 9900 Unboxing

Here’s a quick unedited unboxing of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 by AT&T.  It’s rough, I didn’t get a chance to edit it but enjoy my Spielberg level video. I have to say, I know a lot of people are down on BlackBerry these days but this is a great device.  It’s slick, responsive and incredible [...]

AT&T Seems To Be “Faster” And “Better”

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I feel like AT&T service for all their niggles has gotten faster and more reliable.  I was thinking about this just last week.  I drove by a street corner where I used to drop calls most of the time but guess what, no dropped call.  I was at [...]

T-Mobile’s 1700MHz Band Is Bad For AT&T

I’ve been against this whole AT&T – T-Mobile merger from the start.  I didn’t think it was good for the many thousands of T-Mobile employees who’d lose their job.  I didn’t think it would be good for international travelers roaming in the US.  And I didn’t think it would be good for AT&T customers. That’s [...]

App Idea For Framing Screen Shots With Image Of My Phone

Here’s a suggestion for an app developer.  I’d like to be able to take a screen shot from my phone (iPhone 4) and then get the pic framed in an image of my phone.  So the edited image looks like it’s a picture of my phone with a very crisp view of what’s on the [...]
