What is the most hyped-up consumer device to ever launch? If you said the i-mate JAQ, you’re wrong. It’s the Apple iPhone, and it has taken the general public by storm. People who would normally never ever consider buying an Apple product have went out and bought one (believe me, I conned 6 non-Apple users [...]

At least you guys are smart. I am personally thrilled that you no longer make visitors enter a ZIP code before checking out the latest phones and devices on your website. Every carrier needs to follow suit! It just slows you down, and is unecessary. Give us a break. We love lusting after those brand new [...]

It was recently reported by BlackBerry Cool that the BlackBerry 8820, when released by AT&T, will have it’s GPS features neutered. They said it was being influenced by AT&T’s deal with Apple for the iPhone and even stating that T-Mobile’s launch of the BlackBerry 8820 (the same device, mind you) would be better. There has since been a follow-up story which says, [...]

Seriously. We couldn’t have made this one up…it’s that bad. German company Trekstor has just dropped a new DAP. Spec wise, this thing can certainly hold its own, sporting 2GB or 4GB of internal storage, a built in FM tuner, mini-USB jack , and a pretty sweet design aesthetic. It even comes bundled with a [...]

Peter and crew, we couldn’t have said it any better ourselves…Palm needs to innovate, or completely close up shop and get out.

During a friendly debate between The Boy Genius and myself the other night, the oddity that was the deal between AT&T and Apple (and all of the potential power that was given to the manufacturer) was one of the major topics of conversation. It was surmised (by me) that AT&T is being treated like a little <explicative> by Cupertino-based Apple, Inc. This would pertain to, [...]

Fueled by the impromptu revelation of the impending release of the BlackBerry Pearl on T-Mobile’s network back in early September 2006, we started to see a a decent appearance of a shift in strategy in that Research In Motion was starting to listen to certain rather outspoken critics and took an interest in spending a [...]

I’m sure a few of you have seen a couple things unfold in the past day or so surrounding one of the most popular stories on Digg being deleted - and even the submitting Digger having his user account banned. If you bother to take a look at the Digg homepage now, you’ll most likely see that the [...]

Yes, I know it’s already been posted a few times that T-Mobile will start taking orders, processing and shipping the BlackBerry 8800 to it’s customers tomorrow morning. This will relate to those announcements, but I will veer to left…slightly.
At my previous company, one of my last meetings involved sales and technical representatives from T-Mobile visiting and making [...]

It should come as no suprise that OQO had contacted me shortly after the "Problems in OQO land" post went up, which wasn’t really my intent. The great thing about them is that they made the effort to try and make things right and resolve the issues. The current units that have shipped to customers recently don’t [...]

Let me start this one by saying I’m a huge fan of the Logitech Harmony line of universal remotes. Having used everything from a simple remote from Radio Shack to a $20,000 Crestron unit I can’t express enough how much I like this damn thing! It’s a nice mid-range remote to put in your living [...]

You know there is a serious problem in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood when the Samsung BlackJack comes with two batteries in the box. The wireless industry itself is facing a problem with the power these new phones are using. At this rate we’ll have to carry a charger with us constantly, or a backpack full of batteries. [...]

So I have been spending some quality time looking into the ins and outs of this new PS3 contraption and I have to say that one of nicest things is the complete freedom to choose which headset I want to use as a communicator.  Yup that’s right, you can use ANY Bluetooth headset you want [...]
