RIM’s BlackBerry Is Doing “It” Right
I’ve been noticing for many months now, maybe even years that BlackBerrys are everywhere. I used to think they were intentionally going after the young crowd like the teens and early 20′s but now I know they are. I’ve been seeing kids, yes 12 year olds with BlackBerrys. I’ve also been seeing many many more 20 [...]
Google Docs Weakest Aspect
So I work with Phone.com a virtual phone system, like a PBX in the cloud, anyways one of my responsibilities is to create their newsletter. Well I wrote out my first draft of all the content in Google Docs. I do nearly all my work in Google Docs these days or in some sort of cloud. Well [...]
Skype Is Now Giving Nimbuzz The Boot
Oh great, Skype is flexing it’s little pasty arm again. After this summers ordeal with Skype banning Fring for “breach of its API terms” it’s doing the same again with Nimbuzz now. It was inevitable but still disappointing. Skype is heading toward an IPO so it seems as if it’s tying up any loose ends but truth [...]
Consumers Should Buy Phones From Manufacturers Not Carriers
I had an idea while I was driving yesterday. People hate paying full price for a smart phone as well as hate being locked into a contract with a carrier. I was thinking about what a guy a coffee shop told me the day before, “I want a new phone to keep for years but [...]
Nokia E73 Mode Review
I was lucky enough to get invited to a party and video shoot highlighting the Nokia E73 recently (thanks to WOM World/Nokia). I was given an E73 Mode to review and review it is what I’m doing. I’m totally enthralled with this device, for the most part it’s everything I need it to be. I’m [...]
Google Latitude Needs More Privacy Options
I’m a big fan of Google Maps and have really enjoyed using Google Latitude. But it has a really big fault in my opinion. I hate the fact that I can’t block it from transmitting my location from 1 place in particular. I’d really like to never tell anybody where my home is. My home [...]
Is Nokia Dead??? Just kidding. I have a few suggestions err rant.
I keep reading about this, people ask me about it and I’ve even asked myself the question a few times. The answer is NO, Nokia is nowhere near dead. They sell a bazillion phones a day and are still the leader in smart phones with Symbian. I personally prefer Symbian over every other platform I’ve [...]
Beating The High Cost of Roaming By Andy Abramson
My friend Andy Abramson just yesterday posted “Staying Connected- Beating The High Cost of Roaming http://ow.ly/18lHO6“. I wanted to bring any attention I could to his article because it highlights one of my favorite companies, Truphone. I’ve been an advocate of theirs for many years now have enjoyed their service for as long as it’s been [...]
Fring Skype And Nimbuzz What’s Going To Happen?
This last week has been hellish for some people. Some people actually do do video chat on their mobile phones. My sister does because her husband is on the other side of the world working and getting their new house set up. Her son misses his Dad and so they Skype on her Nokia N78 [...]
I’m Frustrated With So Many Touch Screens Wheres the Blackberry Format?
I’m getting frustrated with mobile these days. I am really tired of the popular formats of phones and nothing is really changing. I know touchscreen only handsets are popular but I’m personally bored to bits of seeing them everywhere. Everyone and their mother has a touchscreen phone and I see them struggling all the time. I [...]
