Emerging LTE and the iPad

Emerging LTE and the iPad

By Guest Authors on March 22, 2013

I have been using the new iPad with Retina display for almost a year now. It’s great. But I have noticed an interesting problem: once you use Retina resolution you simply cannot go back. Traditional LCD displays look grainy and give me a headache to look at for any duration. The human brain is an […]

Verizon (previous CloudAve coverage) yesterday announced that they are acquiring CloudSwitch (previous CloudAve coverage), the Burlington based company founded in 2008 to make life easy for enterprises to extend their datacenter into the cloud, for an undisclosed sum. With this move, Verizon has made it even more clear that they are serious about the enterprise […]

Control Swing

Control Swing

By Guest Authors on January 11, 2011

In 2007, Apple took the control from the carriers and put it in the hands of device makers when it launched the original iPhone. Here is an excerpt from a Wired article. For decades, wireless carriers have treated manufacturers like serfs, using access to their networks as leverage to dictate what phones will get made, […]

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 […]

Will Google's Net Neutrality Stance Affect Its Brand?

Will Google's Net Neutrality Stance Affect Its Brand?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 10, 2010

Yesterday, Google and Verizon announced a joint policy proposal to regulate the internet. In short, they have called on FCC to assume control over the internet and regulate it to keep it “open”. Even though I am supportive of any proposal to keep the internet open, this pact between Google and Verizon is not only […]

Skype Blocks Fring –  Or Not?   Fingerpointing...  But Where is Skype for Android?

Skype Blocks Fring – Or Not? Fingerpointing… But Where is Skype for Android?

By Zoli Erdos on July 12, 2010

Just two days ago I reported how mobile video call app Fring enabled making video calls on 3G, even to other platforms, say Skype.  That was a huge improvement for iPhone users, since their native Facetime only allows iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 calls, and only over wi-fi.  But the new option proved to be […]

Fring’s Popularity BackF(i)ring

Fring’s Popularity BackF(i)ring

By Zoli Erdos on July 10, 2010

Hooray, iPhone users can now make video calls on 3G, even to other platforms, say Skype, but using the popular Fring app.  Or not… The new option proved to be too popular, overwhelming Fring’s servers.   This morning Fring announced suspension of support for Skype. The biggest losers are Android users on all carriers but Verizon, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Telecoms unite against Apple

By Dan Morrill on February 15, 2010

Apple faces the combined ire of 24 of the worlds telecom companies who want to start their own application store so that people that download applications to their phones and make more money off the applications that they are currently trying to support. Apple should buy T-Mobile or some other telecom, much like Google is […]

Time for Device Independent Data Plans

By Zoli Erdos on January 27, 2010

The Apple iPad event is still on, and the Internet is crumbling… Twitter barely crawls, CoveritLive isn’t exactly live, the major sites providing blog coverage are barely accessible… this is iKill – the day Apple Killed The Net. 🙁 But I want to talk about something more important: It’s a screenshot from Engadget’s coverage.  Yes, […]
