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 [...]

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review

    This blog post is quite late but none the less still appropriate.  I’ve had the BlackBerry 9780 for a few months now and want to share my thoughts on it.  This isn’t going to be a traditional review like most others, I’m just going to tell you what I like and dislike about [...]

Dvir Reznik of Onavo

Hours before I was flying home from Israel recently Dvir Reznik had just flown back to Israel from Amsterdam I believe and I was anxious to meet up with him.  He is the head of marketing at Onavo, it’s one of the most likely companies I see succeeding in the next 12 months. Onavo is solving a [...]

New Tru Supremo Steve Robertson

I only recently heard the news that Steve Robertson is taking over as the new Tru CEO.  I have a long history with TruPhone as they used to be known and want to take a few words to let people know who might be reading about them for the first time who and what they are. [...]

Truphone Now Supports BlackBerry

I’ve been writing about Truphone since 2007 and I suspect using it even longer.  I was called the biggest Truphone fan by Ewan MacLeod back in 2007 or 2008.  I wish I could remember when they launched but boy oh boy was it amazing back then. Fast forward 5 years (I’m guessing) and you know [...]

VoIP on iPhone via Phone.com great for cutting roaming rates

Are you a business traveler who likes to save a few dollars on roaming fees?  I definitely am.  I’m a self employed consultant who pays all my own bills.  I personally hate paying roaming fees to AT&T. A few months ago I was asked to review a mobile app for Phone.com, nothing unusual there, this [...]

Touchnote at MWC ’10, These Guys are Geniuses

Here’s another late post to the blog.  This was taken back in February in Barcelona at MWC.  Touchnote is one of my favorite companies.  These guys can take your camera phone pictures and send them off as physical postcards to anywhere in the world.  Touchnote is currently abailable on the Ovi Store and the iPhone.

I’ve been wanting to blog about some Truphone (one of my favorite services) news for days now and I’m finally getting to all the news.  Instead of writing 3 different posts I’m just going to condense it down to one short post.  Let’s get to it. 1. Truphone is in an MVNO relationship with Vodafone [...]

Keep your airline miles from expiring

I used to do a great deal of travel for work when I was producing events almost every weekend.  Since then I don’t fly nearly as much as I used to, sometimes I miss it but now that I have a wife and 2 daughters I prefer staying home.  My airline of choice is American [...]
