Attention Phone Manufacturers: Make me this phone please?

I need a special phone. This phone will need to have 2 sim slots. Yes, I know, there is something like that out there. Mine will be a little different. Like I said, it needs to have 2 sim slots. One for my personal sim with data plan and all and the other one [...]

I am using the Zune 80 with 3.0 Now

After getting a chance to play with 3.0 aka the Fall Release at a Microsoft pow wow a couple weeks ago, I finally got around to updating my own Zune. 3.0 has been out for almost 2 weeks and I have just been lazy. So far I like what I see. I just don’t feel like [...]

Missing CTIA for the 3rd Strait Time…

I wanted to go, but I have to be in Seattle Monday and Tuesday so things aren’t going to work out. I guess I’ll have to hit CES this year to make up for it. Oh well…

I am looking to get a new Desktop. Any opinions?

Ok, not really Mobility related, but it’s time for me to replace my aging Dell XPS with something cutting edge, again. I know with Alienware and XPS, you are really paying for a name, then quality gear. I know I could hit newegg and put one together for cheaper than going through a company, [...]

Do I need a new Phone?

Of course not, most of us don’t. What makes us have this urge to update every time something new comes out? I haven’t a clue, but I suffer from this as well. The funny thing is that often times I come back to the same devices. A couple years ago, I used the i-mate [...]

It’s almost official…

HD-DVD is almost dead. Some big moves by studios have nearly sealed the fate for HD-DVD. If Microsoft doesn’t jump ship on it’s support, they HD-DVD might be able to tread water a bit… Recently a couple studios including Universal (my favorite) and a couple major porn labels have jumped off the HD-DVD Ship. Game over.

Thanks Nintendo!

I am so used to everything I buy to work. In fact, I seldom have any issues experienced with anything I buy really. I know that sounds like a dream, but I have been quite fortunate. Some of the time, problems others have are inherent, but some are operator error. (or ID Ten T [...]
