My Long Journey to an iPhone

On January 9, 2007 Apple unveiled their future cell phone market buster, the iPhone. I wanted it. But I knew I couldn’t switch from Verizon to AT&T, especially since I couldn’t force my Dad to switch and I couldn’t afford it. So I waited.

Hopeful rumors stormed tech sites for months and years without the iPhone ever being available on Verizon, and even though I did get married and have my own account switching to AT&T while nearly all my contacts shared Verizon-to-Verizon minutes with me. So I waited. (more…)

How Connected are You?

See how the PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Roku, Boxee, and Apple TV compare with each other.

What’s on my dock

Fruit Ninja for Android

After moving away from the Blackberry franchise, Tour and Storm 1, the Droid X is luscious. The touch screen is true and recognizes simple swipes and movements wonderfully. I have been very impressed with Angry Birds Lite Beta, and I hope the full version releases soon.

Since achieving 3-stars on all 15 levels of the beta version I have looked for another game to appease my gaming need. I believe I have found it. Fruit Ninja. It’s simple and addictive, and for $.99 it’s a good value for its entertainment.

The objective is to swipe/cut fruit with your sword.

My New Droid X

A week ago I decided to use my wife’s New-Every-Two upgrade to get the new Droid X. Since I am on Verizon and won’t be switching to At&t for the iPhone, I decided after seeing @stewonline’s Droid X that I would move away from my current Blackberry Tour.

I have been very impressed with all the features Android offers. My favorite was on my vacation to Myrtle Beach when I was able to use my phone, with no additional charge, as a turn-by-turn GPS. Here is a video displaying many of the features available.

Gmail Priority Inbox

Gmail Priority Inbox

Google recently released Gmail Priority Inbox Beta to help sort through email easier. Now when new emails are received, and are important, you will see them at the top of your list.

Why not make your life easier?

If you do not use Gmail you should ask yourself, “Self, why are you not using the best email application available?” Then after pondering the question, register for a gmail account and begin using Gmail, Google Chat, Google Docs, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Reader and more.

TiVo Slide Remote

TiVo has released a new remote for their systems called the TiVo slide. The remote slides like a mobile phone to reveal a QWERTY keyboard under the typical top display.

I want one of these! Searching for videos on YouTube or Netflix would require much less time; about 10-times less time.
