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

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. [...]

Your living room TV is under assault!
I am not talking about your kids throwing Wii remotes at it, or spouses sabotaging your inputs just in time for Sunday football, or not having any juice left in your rechargeable Logitech Harmony Remote, or even those tiny little fingerprints on the [...]

If you are like me, you have been wondering what the hell is going on with Google’s home page fading in the text (see video below). I am one for experiments, but does this make much sense?
I think just about everyone knows that Google is a search engine (hopefully), and I thought maybe it was [...]

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

Posted on29. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.

Hey, over here!
The release of the Blackberry Storm 2 on the Verizon’s network, yesterday, seemed to be the least publicized event in quite some time. This product that has the ability to hold or expand RIM’s market share (currently at approx. 40%), but with the marketing and pizazz of a Kleenex commercial, fails to live [...]

Blackberry Storm 2 9550… disappointing

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 [...]

Mobile messaging has to grow beyond single sync

I use a BlackBerry® Curve™ 8350i for work, unfortunately. E-mail-wise, I get on the order of 400 messages a day through this platform. What frustrates me, most notably, about this device is the fetch mechanism. I will post a more comprehensive critique of the device in a future post. If you receive several messages in [...]

Apple, you need to hire an in-house crank

I am an Apple fanboy. I admit it.
However, it doesn’t change my abilty to desire more from the company that I love. As we in the tech community all know, Apple tends to go it’s own path, shall we say, when it comes to products.
For instance, the company makes it’s own hardware and software. This [...]
