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 [...]

Google, Motorola and other madness this week
This has been a pretty mad week in technology starting with Google’s purchase of Motorola Mobility for $12B followed by HP announced the folding of their PC business including their newly launched tablets featuring WebOS. There have been some articles about the Motorola purchase which I really enjoyed and some that I thought seem a [...]
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 [...]

HTC and the Bootloader
I have always loved HTC because in so many ways they have made their devices not only good-looking but also user community friendly. Their history with this has been long before they were a well-recognized consumer brand. XDA-Developers is one of the most recognized communities for this kind of activity. HTC contemplated about whether or not to lock up the [...]
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 [...]
NFC – It’s about the e-wallet
I’ve been really excited about the NFC technology since it’s been announced an have been reading quite a few articles about it. Over time, it has made me re-evaluate why I’m as interested in the idea as I am. After the soul searching, I came to the conclusion that for me, NFC is a means [...]
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. [...]
SPB Mobile Shell coming to Android
I’m quite excited to see SPB Mobile Shell product come to market. One of the glimmer of hopes when I was on the Windows Mobile platform was SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 which breathed some life back to the Windows Mobile at least for a little while. The good news for the Android is that there [...]
HTC Desire Z review posted
My HTC Desire Z review is finally posted on Howard Forums. Here’s the quick overview of my thoughts on the HTC Desire Z. I like the device a lot and I’ve since purchased it. I’ve always had a “thing” for HTC devices largely because they generally are well supported by the xda-developers community. The device [...]
