New Laptops Are Poised to Change the Mobile Landscape

The ThinkPad X series laptops rock - end of story. So to expect the new models from HP definitely has me snickering a bit. HP has a sorry track record in the real world, therefore I am not putting a lot of stock into any new notebooks they have coming out.

Helping the Mobile Hook Up

You know, if this is played out right, it could be a good win for mobile phone carriers. Still, there is a fine line between making an effort to be there for the community and actually selling out to fund social Websites.

TenGO SIP is a Must for Your PocketPC

The first time I used my PalmPilot back in 1996, I had a really difficult time getting my text into the PDA via Graffiti. Slowly I learned it and the quick tricks (triangles made Ds and upside-down Ls made Ts) but it never really did become an efficient way of entering information into my […]

Cambodia Bans 3G Wireless For A Decade Thanks To Prime Minister’s Wife

So What’s Wrong With Steve Wanting Us to Have New iPods Yearly?

Funny how the fangs come out when a CEO is just being honest. Point in case, Steve Jobs, Apple’s top dog, told Brian Williams of NBC News that, “you have to buy a new iPod at least once a year.” Based on the comments around the web, people aren’t sitting too well with […]
