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

Posted on 20. Nov, 2009 by .

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 legs), it [...]

Blackberry Storm 2 trying to get noticed

Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by .

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 [...]

Prius Enjoyment

Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 by .

When we go down to Florida to see my mother and grandmother, twice a year, we have to rent a vehicle to drive around for the week+.  We always rent from Hertz (#1 Gold Club) because you can put a card on file and just walk to your car.  No one else seems to do [...]
