Dear Amazon, here’s how to sell even more Kindles
November 30th, 2008
Love it or hate it, Amazon.com’s Kindle e-book reader is selling well — in fact, even at $359 there currently aren’t any in stock. So Amazon certainly doesn’t need any advice from me about how to sell more Kindles, but I have some ideas about how the company could make the device more attractive [...]
HTC Touch Pro comes to Verizon
November 24th, 2008
I don’t know what the deal is with Verizon lately, but their lineup of phones now rivals that of AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon’s HTC Touch Pro doesn’t appear to be any different than Sprint’s Touch Pro or AT&T’s Fuze. The HTC Touch Pro has landed on Verizon for $350 with a 2-year contract.

What does the BlackBerry Storm mean for RIM, Verizon Wireless?
November 20th, 2008
I might not be a fan of the Storm but that doesn’t mean it won’t be flying off the shelves come tomorrow. You see, it’s not meant to be a gadget lover’s device. Just hear me out then flame away if you feel the need to. RIM felt the urgency to fill the gap between [...]

Shut down your PC or Mac with a text message
November 15th, 2008
This fairly long video shows you how to create a mail trigger in Outlook to shut down your PC or Mac whenever you send a text message to your mailbox. It’s a pretty simple trick - I think I had this running back on an old Linux box when I was still on Sprint [...]

Does the human crab claw freak anyone else out? Seriously?
Today, Novatell Wireless announced the MC760 that weighs less than an ounce and measures less than two inches in length. Like the Novatel Ovation U727 before it, the MC760 features built-in GPS and a microSD slot that supports up to 8GB. It will launch this [...]
Review: Medis 24/7 Power Pack fuel cell charger
November 4th, 2008
Short Version: The Medis 24/7 Power Pack makes for a good, easy-to-use emergency charging kit to keep in the car or for use anywhere without access to conventional power. At $30 to $50, it’s relatively inexpensive as long as you use it sparingly.
Sprint picks up SANYO Katana Eclipse X, Pink Ranger swoons
November 4th, 2008
Oh Katana series, I both love and loathe you. On one hand, you’re basic and welcoming to all of those crazies out there who just want their phone to be a phone; on the other, you’re pretty much a RAZR minus the part where people buy you by the boatload.
