The Google Cloud and Android mobile OS… a marriage must be made

The Google Cloud and Android mobile OS… a marriage must be made

Posted on09. Feb, 2010 by zevmo.

This week I had a chance to test out the HTC myTouch 3G Limited Edition, which was running Android 1.6.  I will go more in-depth on that in a post tomorrow, but I wanted to float an idea out to Google that can take the Android Mobile OS from something good, to something great.

Google [HTC] Nexus One ads taking on Apple strategy

Google [HTC] Nexus One ads taking on Apple strategy

Posted on08. Feb, 2010 by zevmo.

Using advertising techniques reminiscent of post-release Apple products, Google crafted a set of YouTube videos touting the Nexus One Mobile smart phone.  These videos are exceptionally well done, and are quite convincing.
After a week engagement with an HTC  myTouch (Android OS 1.6), I would have been a little hesitant to even try another Android phone.  [...]

Disney’s Mobile Magic application- the future for WDW guests?

Posted on20. Nov, 2009 by zevmo.

Last week, Disney Parks Blog gave some wonderful screenshots of their new Mobile Magic Application. The concept is this, if you are a Verizon Wireless subscriber, you can download the application for $9.99, that’s good for 180 days. And for a limited time (I assume until January, while they are stretching the app’s [...]

Blackberry Storm 2 trying to get noticed

Blackberry Storm 2 trying to get noticed

Posted on29. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.

Blackberry Storm 2 9550… disappointing

Posted on17. Aug, 2009 by zevmo.

A BB Storm 2 review has been posted on YouTube.  I am not trying to hate on BlackBerry, but they make it so damn easy.  I don’t get what the Software OS group at RIM have been up to the last 4 years.  Seriously, just look at the Palm Pre and realize, your UI looks [...]
