Size Matters – Some thoughts on mobile form factor

Posted on June 16, 2011 in: Gizmodoodats, TechnoFrazzle|Post Comment

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

Posted on May 29, 2011 in: Gizmodoodats|9 Comments

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

Posted on May 21, 2011 in: Gizmodoodats, TechnoFrazzle|4 Comments

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

Posted on May 3, 2011 in: This-and-That|1 Comment

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

Posted on January 2, 2011 in: Gizmodoodats|Post Comment

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. [...]

Windows Phone 7 – Should we care?

Posted on October 24, 2010 in: TechnoFrazzle, This-and-That|2 Comments

Microsoft release Windows Phone 7 (WP7) a couple of weeks ago with a lot of fanfare. I personally haven’t delved that much into it. I had once written that I didn’t think that WP7 will save Microsoft’s mobile strategy but much of what I wrote in that article is no longer true. I’ll start off [...]

Location Based Services and Tracking

Posted on July 28, 2010 in: Gizmodoodats|Post Comment

I remember coming across a blog entry shared by Louis Gray that kick started a number of thoughts on the topic of check-ins. The point that stood out the most was the idea that check-ins are like coupons and that eventually you’d have to pay people to check in. I strongly believe that the hype [...]

Slacker and mSpot – Music on the Move

Posted on July 27, 2010 in: Gizmodoodats, TechnoFrazzle|Post Comment

As I’m back on transit, finding applications that work offline is quite critical. The ADD part of me will go nuts without anything to do. Like many people, music is a must-have for me. My applications of choice are mSpot and Slacker Radio.
MSpot is starting to be a must-have app for me especially after I [...]

Why Windows Phone 7 is not Microsoft’s mobile saviour

Posted on March 13, 2010 in: TechnoFrazzle|7 Comments

I have always been a huge fan of Windows Mobile and at the heart of it, Windows Phone 7 really is Windows Mobile in spirit; it is a platform that is meant for consumer small devices. Microsoft’s strategy has always been targeted at the business community and hence they have always seen their main competitor [...]

Things I love and hate about the iPhone

Posted on March 5, 2010 in: TechnoFrazzle|2 Comments

It is a pretty known fact that I LOVE the Windows Mobile platform and consider it the best mobile platform purely from a technology standpoint. However, when I joined Canpages in November, I was given the opportunity to purchase any phone that was available by Rogers. Given that I owned both HTC Android phones and [...]
