Let me start off by saying that I am not only an unabashed Android fan, but have also not kept it a secret that I’m a lover of Motorola’s Droids. I still have my original Droid, got my wife a Droid 2 when she took the plunge into smartphone space, and now have a [...]

Back in 2008 AT&T predicted that the internet would be full by 2010. Now althought this clearly hasn’t happened, carriers like AT&T are clearly concerned about the increasing levels of traffic over their mobile networks and in particular the amount of video being streamed onto our handsets. In the States, Canada and to a lesser degree Europe these concerns are reflected in the gradual disappearence of unlimited mobile data plans.
Where once we merrily downloaded massive files onto our phones and streamed audio and video to our hearts’ content – these days increasing numbers of us have to watch what we do lest we overstep our data allowance. As my Granny used to say, “Look after the kilobytes and the megabytes will look after themselves dear.”
Can I begin by saying that I was sad to hear that Steve Jobs is still poorly and that, at a personal level, I have nothing but sympathy for the man. No one deserves to be sick, unfortunately though, there ain’t an app for that. Nevertheless the hype his resignation has generated is kinda over [...]
I hear that the iPhone 4 has problems with its reception. It seems that it needs to be held in a particular way. Apparently you have to hold it at arm’s length, shove it into someone’s face and shout “Look at me! Look at me! I’ve got an iPhone!” The beauty of an open system [...]

First Thoughts The idea of the Droid X2 made me smile, I really like the droid x and though that the 2 maybe the one that fixes a few glitches. I also figured a huge boost in power would be in order, some of these things came to fruition, some… not so much, why am [...]
First Thoughts I have heard a lot about this thing. Heard a lot, no real positive buzz but nothing really negative either. I have yet to have any other Sony Ericsson android devices, so this was a first for me from them. The fact that this is on the Verizon network kind of boosts my want for [...]
Google announces it’s intentions to acquire Motorola for $12.5 billion and the blogosphere collectively takes a great big dump.

We’re not quite to the mid-way point of 2011 yet, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to put together a list of the worst of the best. I’ve seen some of these devices and some I haven’t, so I’ve approached this list more from the standpoint of a shopper, albeit one that knows what last [...]

First Thoughts I was excited to get this one. A tough phone that can take the heat, or the bumps/the drops, the pressure, and the depth of water. It really is tough. I have of seen videos around the net of this device being dropped into water and soaked, a time-lapse showed it coming back [...]

We get this [...]
Well it looks like the World’s first dual core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X, isn’t without it problems.
