Is Gphone For Real? Or Not?
Updated, see last paragraph: For a long time there were quite a few rumors about Google making a Gphone, its own hardware device. In the end it came out with Android, a software platform that it is promoting in partnership with 50 odd companies. The platform is still under development, so to speak, as Mountain View-based search company works with partners to iron out the kinks. As we reported earlier, it has hit some speed bumps. Android, however, shifted attention away from the possibilit...
New iPhone Will Jumpstart Demand For Wireless Broadband
It was over a decade ago when I got my first broadband connection — by today’s comparison a very slow DSL connection from my then local provider, Verizon Communications which then went by the name of Bell Atlantic. At $60 a month (not including the cost of the modem), the service which got around 256 Kbps on a good day (vs top speed of up to 640 kbps), was really a novelty. With the exception of many who worked in New York’s Silicon Alley, not many cared about the expensive al...

Sometimes we need to S.L.T.
Stop. Listen. Think. before you speak are words from my father. Growing up there were a number of times my dad would tell me to S.L.T. before I spoke or did something. And for years I carried a piece of paper with the letters SLT in my wallet.

L. T. Taking a moment to co...
Do Blogs/Bloggers Have Expiry Dates?
I’m not even going dip a toe in the is Jason Calacanis really retiring from blogging or not debate but his “announcement” did make me wonder whether blogs and/or bloggers have expiry dates. Does there come a time, for example, when a blogger simply decides enough is enough after writing hundreds or thousands of posts? Do they wake up one morning, and just not do it any more? Do they think about it for awhile or is it just a snap decision. As someone who enjoys writing and blogg...

Protecting Your Smartphone — OtterBox Provides a Rugged, Yet Ergonomic Soluton
Over the past few months, both my older son and I have broken the belt clip that comes with the standard Blackberry 88xx case; a friend has broken the same clip four times since acquiring a 8830 last winter; my younger son dropped his 8100 about four or five feet such that the keyboard became non-functional. I also was having problems with the case occasionally falling off my belt (and made sure to remove my Blackberry from my belt whenever there was a chance it could accidentally fall into wate...
