IPhone’s Cryptic Bars vs. Real Signal on Android

IPhone’s Cryptic Bars vs. Real Signal on Android

By Zoli Erdos on July 9, 2010

At one point in the iPhone antenna blunder Apple tried to hide behind smoke-screen, claiming they discovered an error in how they calculated signal strength to be translated to those ever-important bars the iPhone (and all phones) uses.  They would issue a software update, that would fix the problem – or not, as we now […]

Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) Android Superphone Free?

Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) Android Superphone Free?

By Zoli Erdos on June 29, 2010

Priced as low as FREE.   I like free.   Too bad T-Mobile will fix it before the July 21st release date

What is next for computing when people have gone mobile?

What is next for computing when people have gone mobile?

By Dan Morrill on June 22, 2010

Image via Wikipedia If you own an Iphone, an Ipad, an Android phone, or any of the other highly connected mobile devices, you get a very good idea of where computing is going. The problem is that we are still stuck on the same paradigm when it comes to services and work. Chained to a […]

Samsung Galaxy S vs. Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S vs. Samsung Galaxy S

By Zoli Erdos on June 17, 2010

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 […]

Update on the Sprint HTC EVO Battery Debate: Not Bad, Really. See Yourself.

Update on the Sprint HTC EVO Battery Debate: Not Bad, Really. See Yourself.

By Zoli Erdos on June 14, 2010

The HTC EVO is the hottest Android phone for now, but it is plagued by the much debated battery issue.  Clearly, it’s a monster of a workhorse, and battery life will depend on one’s usage patterns: you can’t expect a whole lot if you get background updates from social networks every 5  minutes and watch […]

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone - With Utter Web Failure

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone – With Utter Web Failure

By Zoli Erdos on June 4, 2010

The HTC EVO Android phone is the ultimate weapon that’ supposed to turn Sprint’s weak business around.  Yes, the phone is really incredible (not Incredible, that’s another model), but that does not change the fact that Spring is welcoming it with utter failure.  Customers attempting to buy it get to stare at this message forever: […]

Will the Dell Streak Flop?  In Search of the Sweet Spot.

Will the Dell Streak Flop? In Search of the Sweet Spot.

By Zoli Erdos on June 3, 2010

In a few days you can plunk down $500 to buy this beauty directly from Dell. Or you can spend the same amount and get the Real Thing – the iPad. Or you can buy the HTC EVO. And that’s the problem with the Streak.  It’s neither a tablet, nor a phone.  Of course not […]

Fixing the Battery Problem your Android Smartphone Seems to Have

Fixing the Battery Problem your Android Smartphone Seems to Have

By Zoli Erdos on May 31, 2010

Image via Wikipedia I shared some of my recent Android experience here, with the two leading phones, Verizon’s HTC Incredible and Sprint’s EVO  now it’s time to share a trick (actually two) that makes or breaks your experience with these two mobile powerhouses. Matt Burns @ MobileCrunch loves the EVO but considers the battery a […]

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

Best Buy Smarter than the Apple Store

By Zoli Erdos on May 26, 2010

“There is an App for that” – is the mantra nowadays, and I really hoped for one,  to solve the major task of telling me where I can buy an iPad.  Anywhere, in any physical store along my long drive from San Francisco to Pleasanton. In the real-time, always-on age it should not be a […]

Does Sprint Limit Using Google Voice?

Does Sprint Limit Using Google Voice?

By Zoli Erdos on May 21, 2010

(See update @ the bottom)Well, this did not take long. I’ve just speculated that Google & Sprint wanted testers before the commercial rollout of the Android-driven HTC EVO on June 4th – a few hours later I see that theory proven.  I ran into trouble setting up Google Voice, and called the special number given […]

Fake Steve Jobs’s Split Personality

Fake Steve Jobs’s Split Personality

By Zoli Erdos on May 21, 2010

It’s tough to be Fake Steve Jobs nowadays. Continuing in his role as FSJ, he has to defend all-things-Apple, especially from ruthless attackers like Google. (As a sidenote, did Vic Gundotra just have a Steve Jobs moment yesterday?) On the other hand Fake Steve is also the Real Daniel Lyons.  One who actually uses smartphones, […]

On Those Android Superphones Again

By Zoli Erdos on May 21, 2010

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 […]

Oh, just what the Doctor has ordered: more junk food coming your way, left and right, from the social network that’s taking over the Internet: Facebook.  McDonald’s will be the first advertiser taking advantage of Facebook’s soon-t0-be-releasing location feature. The first reaction from most is this will kill leading location-based services: Hey Foursquare, Time To […]

So You Bought a JooJoo – How Will it be Serviced?

So You Bought a JooJoo – How Will it be Serviced?

By Zoli Erdos on April 2, 2010

I know, it’s crazy to talk about the JooJoo (formerly known as CrunchPad) a day before the iPad is released.  But the major gadget blogs do, having received a test unit – and that in itself is a bit of a PR coup for JooJoo.  They should enjoy it while it last.   Too bad it […]

RIPing The Traditional Web: Not So Fast

RIPing The Traditional Web: Not So Fast

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 30, 2010

Recently, Rob Mills wrote a post on Think Vitamin proclaiming death to traditional web. He was pointing out the widespread use of mobile devices and the next wave of iPad like devices and argued that this will make traditional web secondary to mobile sites and apps. The web is dead. OK, it isn’t but it […]
