Well, you can cancel any dreams of having a Verizon iPhone anytime soon. It has been verified that the original contract for exclusive rights to the iPhone Apple had with AT&T was until 2012. Which absolutely stinks since AT&T’s has the lowest customer satisfaction rating of all the major carriers. Some are speculating that the [...]
Nikola Tesla, I know you’re asking, “Who?”, made a prediction of the wireless revolution that we are currently experiencing. No big deal, right? Well, when you realize he made that prediction in 1909 in an issue of Popular Mechanics, it gets a little creepy. The world has just started utilizing the wireless telegraph, and the [...]
Well, this is good news for me if no one else. My wife loves the iPhone, but I prefer Verizon’s network and quality. So, for the longest time, we’ve had two separate cellular accounts in the house with not a break in site. Now comes news that Apple is working on an iPhone that will [...]
If you have a smart phone like the iPhone or a Blackberry that has internet access, and if your phone is capable of picking up wi-fi, companies are asking you to utilize that instead of the towers. The reason for this? Free wi-fi hotspots are becoming more prevalent and it also eases the amount of [...]
This is an old story, but it’s one that I think bears repeating. Oregon just implemented a handheld cell-phone ban in vehicles at the beginning of this year. Some people got in a tizzy about it naturally and some probably still are. But I see the reasoning for it. I live in Illinois near Chicago, and [...]
MSNBC today ran a story about overhyped tech products. Not necessarily in the past year, but just the tech world in general.

I’m thinking of gift ideas for my wife. She loves her Bluetooth device when she’s driving, but on sunny days, she can’t use it cause the sunglasses she wears don’t fit comfortably. Does any one know of a pair of women’s sunglasses that are deisgned to fir around a Bluetooth device, or better yet, have [...]
I was reading the news today and found that a company by the name of Monliker was stacking the deck for their iPhone apps. Apparently, certain users were writing reviews for apps only developed by Monliker and giving them all 5 star ratings. At this point the apps appear to have been removed, but if [...]
I know people who work for T-Mobile and I can tell you with certain that T-Mobile has blocked access to the Droid website to all front line employees. I can also tell you that this is the first time that this has happened in the history of T-Mobile! So what are they worried about? Motorolla’s [...]
Yah, so Gizmodo expected any operating system that ends in a .5 to be an improvement? Windows Mobile has been trash for years and a mid cycle update doesn’t seem impressive to me in the least bit. I’ve had extensive use with WM devices and I personally will never own one again. Maybe Microsoft should [...]
