MIUI.us ROM – A quick review of another Android ROM

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

HTC Dream and Magic – Initial Review

There are some benefits in being a funded start-up by Rogers and that is access to wireless technology and infrastructure. When the Magic and Dream were first announced, I sent a quick message to both our internal executives and was quite pleasantly surprised when I was handed an unopened Dream for us to look into [...]

Keyboard or No Keyboard – it’s a matter of preference

MG Siegler wrote an article on Techcrunch titled “HTC Killed The Physical Keyboard. Smart Move.” The article quickly caught my interest because I naturally wanted to see if HTC was killing all physical keyboards for their devices. Fortunately, it wasn’t. I’m a big fan of HTC devices, particularly those with keyboards. In fact, I think [...]

Reasons as to why I buy HTC devices

Whenever I purchase a Windows Mobile device, I almost always buy an HTC product. I have regretted every non-HTC device I have bought. Although the HTC brand is relatively new, the company and products have been around for a very long time. The first ever HTC device I ever picked up was the Compaq Ipaq [...]
