Is Apple Vindictive and Evil?
Apple has not won all of its lawsuits. In fact, other than one big jury award it has for the most part been losing cases. Certainly, outside of the “home court advantage” here in America it has done rather poorly. In an especially humiliating loss outside of the US, Apple was instructed to modify its [...]
Has Apple Peaked?
You probably think I am out of my mind – well … hm… no comment. But yes I agree it’s close to madness to discuss Apple’s decline right on the heels of a record-breaking iPhone 5 launch and a stock price that despite some correction is still a rocketship. But bear with me for a [...]
Is the Stylus Retro?
The Samsung Note is a smartphone tablet thing. It is either the largest smartphone or smallest tablet depending on your point of view. I saw it at CES, and it was advertised on national television during the Superbowl. The ad poked fun at the hipsters …
What Honeycomb and Android Tablets Mean for Businesses
Google is set to announce their first tablet-oriented Android operating system, codenamed Honeycomb. At Box, we’ve been waiting for this moment since we started seeing significant traction with our apps for both the iPad and Android phones, with nearly 400,000 downloads to date. With the introduction of Honeycomb, we’ll begin working immediately on a tablet-centric version of our Box Android app.
How did we get to this point?
Business Analytics on the Samsung Galaxy Tab
Earlier this week, I had a quick chance to use the new Samsung Galaxy Tab — the first serious tablet rival to the iPad — and check out its analytic / business intelligence capabilities. The device runs Android 2.2, which supports Adobe Flash, so the first thing I tried was a couple of dashboards suitable [...]
Android Phone Without Google Voice? Yes, But What a Deal! You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.
News of Virgin Mobile starting to sell an Android phone is disruptive, to say the least. Not because of the phone – it’s a dinky little Samsung Intercept – but because of the plans. They are all contract-free, and start at $25. The basic level only gives you 300 minutes to talk, but it includes [...]
The Mobile Arms Race–Your Superphone is Really Not a Phone
The HTC Incredible was the best Android superphone – for about a month, until the HTC EVO took over…only to be dethroned by the Motorola Droid X. But that’s history now, we’re in the middle of the Samsung Galaxy S invasion now: Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate … just about all major carriers offer their own flavor. [...]
Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) Android Superphone Free?
Priced as low as FREE. I like free. Too bad T-Mobile will fix it before the July 21st release date
Samsung Galaxy S vs. Samsung Galaxy S
The title is not a typo, I’m really comparing the Galaxy S to the Galaxy S. Join me. Here’s the version many of us have seen, and I held in my hands (salivating with desire, I might add) at the Google I/O Conference: And here’s the Samsung Captivate, announced by At&T today, and heralded [...]
On Those Android Superphones Again
Wow, for not being a gadget-blog, we’re spending quite a bit of attention on Smartphones. Are we turning into gadget-freaks? Like Ben, I’ve also received an Android-powered Sprint HTC EVO at the Google I/O Conference, and unlike him, I will be able to use it on Sprint, if I so chose. As a New [...]
iPhone vs. Droid
I found the following comparison between the iPhone and the Droid ads hilarious. Especially, the following Droid bullets: It is fast and it despises aesthetics. It is packaged inside missiles launched by stealth jets. (*) It is a robot and should mostly be handled by other robots. Droid is to be used with robotic hands [...]
