TMobile’s for sale – Google should buy

I've been a T-Mobile subscriber for the past 8 years, and in my opinion they have excellent service (voice and data) and being a GSM operator you can travel internationally without ...

Disruption – I love it.

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

It's estimated that apple sold nearly 20 million iphones at the end of 08 . Why is that amazing? A little perspective... This rivals the total number of blackberry users, only Apple did it in 18 months on "1" carrier, with only two generations of devices. No related posts.

LG’s new watch phone – any takers?

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Other than the fact that you need to wear a bluetooth headset 24/7 to answer calls, and you can't really browse the web too well, this is pretty cool! Related posts:Music – still not everywhere

UIQ dead

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I read today that UIQ is filing for bankruptcy. I used this platform for many years on the P900, P910 by SonyEricsson.  It was the most advanced touch screen smartphone available at that time in my opinion. Maybe they were too early to market, or embedded on only extremely expensive devices ...

Google infuence vs. domination

Friday, September 5th, 2008

There is speculation that Google's new Chrome browser is the Microsoft IE killer, or will slowly be the demise of Firefox. It's pretty much been the headline news in the tech world this week. Here's some food for thought. Google only has one profitable product, and that's adsense.  They exist for ...

Still glad I don’t own an iPhone

Here's another good one. Not by me. Here is "my" experience today: 1. I waited 3 hours in line this morning (and as we know I am not THAT guy). I kinda of expected this so not so bad. Irritating by afterall I made the decision to get it day 1. 2. ...

Mobile = software not hardware

Monday, June 30th, 2008

People love talking about Microsoft vs. Google. How is Microsoft going to stop Google? Google is going to push Microsoft out of the enterprise...etc. Why is no one talking about the equally important battle of Nokia vs. Google? These two giants are battling a silent war that is flying under the radar, ...
