Mobile is the New Computer. Join us at the Mobilize Conference Tomorrow. Discount Inside.

By Zoli Erdos on September 29, 2010

Astute readers may have noticed we’ve been writing more and more abut mobility. No, we have not changed focus – it’s computing that has changed a lot. Cloud computing and mobility are more and more intertwined.  We still won’t be reporting about iPhone games, the best video tools, the huge advertising potential in location / […]

No More Stinking Data Plans

No More Stinking Data Plans

By Zoli Erdos on September 17, 2010

Ok, I’ve stolen that title from Jason Perlow on ZDNet.  And I’ll steal from myself quite liberally, in just a moment.  That’s because I fully agree with Jason, who makes the point that Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab is an attractive device, but he really wants to just outright buy it, without yet another data plan […]

The Web is Against the Ropes, But it’s Not Dead

The Web is Against the Ropes, But it’s Not Dead

By Mark Suster on September 10, 2010

I had a really fun 20-minute interview with Howard Lindzon of Stock Twits as part of a 5-part series on whether the web is dead.  If you have 20 minutes I think you’ll enjoy watching.  I’ve also covered the general topic in the text below the video embed.  Obviously taking on this topic is bound […]

The Mobile Arms Race–Your Superphone is Really Not a Phone

The Mobile Arms Race–Your Superphone is Really Not a Phone

By Zoli Erdos on August 16, 2010

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.  […]

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…  […]

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life. Part# 2.

By Zoli Erdos on June 24, 2010

<sarcasm> What’s wrong with the iPhone? – asks Mashable.  They even created this useful (?)  infographic: Well, let’s see: Yellow dots or band – So what?  Have you not heard of personalization? Why would you all want the same boring screen? Reception – That’s your $ saver, dummy.  Besides, do you really want to fry […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life.

By Zoli Erdos on June 16, 2010

<sarcasm> I’m sick of all this whining within the iFamily.  These iBozos just don’t appreciate all the goodness they have. iPhone preorder systems failed.  So what?  You’ve just saved a boatload of money, be happy, get a life! Yet another At&T security breach. What’s the big deal?  All your data is public anyway, has been […]

The Chaos of BYOW (Bring Your Own Wi-Fi)

The Chaos of BYOW (Bring Your Own Wi-Fi)

By Zoli Erdos on June 15, 2010

It all started as an innocent joke: Robert Scoble was sitting in the front row @ Apple’s WWDC conference while I was following the tweetstream from home.  Little did we know out joke would soon turn serious, as Steve Job’s keynote demo crashed when his shiny new iPhone 4 could not get a network connection.  […]

FacePalm

FacePalm

By Guest Authors on June 8, 2010

The future is here according to Steve Jobs. Maybe he should tell Pixar to make “Back to the Future 4″ cause there sure were a lot of “time travellers” who tried video-calling five years ago. Video calling is fun. Once. Then you never use it again. I’m surprised Apple is pushing FaceTime the way they […]

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 […]

Facebook Big Mac Attack – Not For Me, Thanks. Top 10 Reasons to …

By Zoli Erdos on May 7, 2010

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 […]

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 […]
