While I’ve always been partial to CyanogenMod ROMs for my device (it’s the de facto standard for Android ROMs), I’ve had a bit of issues with it on my HTC Desire Z starting a few weeks ago. For whatever reason, the marketplace just kept force closing every time I opened the app. Even the install [...]

HTC Flyer: Two months later
I thought I’d start this blog entry by jumping to a bit of a conclusion – I’ve given up on the HTC Flyer and am now using an Acer Iconia A500. Although I’m not using the HTC Flyer, I have to say that it is probably one of the best devices that I’ve used to [...]

Size Matters – Some thoughts on mobile form factor
I’ve recently acquired my 7th mobile device in the last 12 months or so. I started out with a Nexus One, Points gave me a BlackBerry Bold 9000, picked up the HTC Desire Z, explored the ExoPC but didn’t like it. So I bought an Asus EEE Pad (EP 121) which I LOVE. Upgraded the [...]
Asus EEE Pad EP 121 – Two month review
I’ve always been a fan of Asus and always felt that Windows 7 would make a great tablet for me. I first experimented with the ExoPC but quickly felt that it was quite under powered making it’s use to be cumbersome. I used it for a few weeks but quickly realized that it wasn’t meeting [...]
HTC Flyer – First Impressions
I didn’t think the wi-fi version of the HTC Flyer would be available today but good friend, @karatedan, mentioned that it was so I went out to pick it up while I was in the New York state on a short vacation. Here’s a picture of it sprawled all over the floor of my hotel room [...]
Lockitron Lets You Unlock Your Door With Your Phone
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VfTmLOLRmhI/
I’m loving this idea for my home because I rarely have my house key with me but I always have my phone. I currently have a Weiser lock that allows you to punch in a code to open the door but there are a few things that bug me about it based on how [...]
My new Macbook Pro, Optibay and Carbon Computing
I recently picked up my second 15″ Macbook Pro in as many years. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with it but the now 4 year old Macbook is old and has missing keys and thought it was time for an upgrade there. My old Macbook Pro came with an i5 2.3 GHz processor, 8 GB [...]
Vlingo 2.60 Update – Hey Vlingo
I’ve been using Vlingo since their beta stages and even paid for it after it first launched. However, it was never one of my favorite apps. I even had uninstalled it for a while as I found it was crashing my phone. While the initial features at first launch were good, they weren’t overwhelmingly great. [...]
Viber – Another Skype competitor
While I like the idea of another Skype competitor, I don’t really get the competitive difference between Skype and Viber. The most prominent differences as outlined in the Techcrunch article are less power hungry than the current Skype iPhone app and that it is a product that leverages your phone number instead of an ID.
In my [...]
