Android Phone Without Google Voice?  Yes, But What a Deal!  You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

Android Phone Without Google Voice? Yes, But What a Deal! You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2010

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 […]

NTP is the New SCO

NTP is the New SCO

By Zoli Erdos on July 9, 2010

NTP, the shell company whose only business is to extract ransom from real businesses does not sit on the $600 they extorted from RIM.  They are now suing just about all the smartphone industry: Apple, Google, HTC, Microsoft, LG and Motorola. Is NTP the new SCO? Related posts: NTP Sues Apple, Google, Microsoft And Others […]

Simple Phone (for Seniors): when Less is More

Simple Phone (for Seniors): when Less is More

By Zoli Erdos on June 29, 2010

There’s hardly a week without a major superphone announcement. Yes, smartphones are so last year, with the iPhone 4, HTC EVO, Samsung Galaxy S..etc we are now in the era of superphones.  I just wonder what’s next? Could it be … simple phones?   The official terminology for these is feature-phones, but they are anything but…  […]

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2010

If you’re a frequent traveler, you’re likely better off buying a MiFi or using your late-model cell-phone’s HotSpot capability than paying those outrageous hotel surcharges.  If you’re a frequent conference-goer, you’ve already learned they all fail to provide reliable connection(Web 2.0, LeWeb, Gnomedex, Microsoft PDC, Google I/O, just to name a few recent examples), so […]

US Air Force Forced to Play – by Sony

US Air Force Forced to Play – by Sony

By Zoli Erdos on May 13, 2010

My new HTC Incredible phone has a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor in it.  That’s faster than laptop computers were just a few years ago.  That, and reading the US Air Force story (you have to wait for that a little longer…) reminded me of an interesting conversation with Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu two years ago: Given […]

iPhone? Android? It’s All Irrelevant when you Can’t Get a Signal

iPhone? Android? It’s All Irrelevant when you Can’t Get a Signal

By Zoli Erdos on May 6, 2010

Will iPhone users move to Verizon?  – goes the speculation, based on a study published @ Fortune showing AT&T drop calls 3 times as frequently as Verizon. From my vantage point even dropped calls would be a luxury – meaning you can get a strong enough signal to place calls in the first place.  Apparently […]

I Stole the HTC Incredible for $99.  OMG.

I Stole the HTC Incredible for $99. OMG.

By Zoli Erdos on April 30, 2010

Wow, talk about luck, apparently I caught a discount that barely existed for hours.  I’ve long waited for a decent smartphone available @ Verizon, be it the iPhone, Nexus One or whatever else … so raving reviews of the HTC Incredible certainly did not leave me cold. Still somewhat hesitating, I started to look for […]

Announcing the Space Age Swiss Army iPhone Killer

Announcing the Space Age Swiss Army iPhone Killer

By Zoli Erdos on February 3, 2009

Just trying to stay competitive here, I am (re)launching my Swiss-Army-Knife-Cellphone combo. Granted it does not follow the latest iPhone-like fashion, but hey, it’s a 2006 model – still with unparalled features, like solar panel, credit card/ id reader, game controller, DVR, laser printer… you name it.  Versatile yet rugged,  Ben’s company should carry it. […]

The Cell-Phone Aware PC May Be a PC-less PC

The Cell-Phone Aware PC May Be a PC-less PC

By Zoli Erdos on December 31, 2008

2008 REDUX Another piece in the 2008 Redux series, originally posted in March 2008. The computing landscape has somewhat changed with the appearance of netbooks, but I am still waiting for the cellphone-aware PC-less PC. Mike Egan @ Computerworld makes the case for PC’s to be smarter, with improved awareness of cell-phones, which means of […]

What Nokia? Kim Basinger's Lifeline would be an iPhone Today.

What Nokia? Kim Basinger's Lifeline would be an iPhone Today.

By Zoli Erdos on December 1, 2008

The 2004 thriller Cellular features three stars: Kim Basinger, Chris Evans, and a Nokia 6660 video-phone. The kidnapped school-teacher played by Kim Basinger pieces together a broken phone and reaches a random dude, Ryan (Chris Evans) on cell-phone – this call literally becomes her lifeline. Ryan effortlessly uses his Nokia miracle-phone in the middle of […]
