Mobility Digest Review: Motorola H17txt with MotoSpeak

by

Today for review I have a bluetooth headset from Motorola called the H17txt, odd name yes, but it’s much  more than just a headset. This specific headset features MotoSpeak or the ability for you to listen to text messages and emails sent to you in the headset. While you’re driving or whatever you’re doing, when … Read more

News for July 11th 2010

by

A new week has begun, yes it’s Sunday once again.. So I figured I’d start the week with the news from sites news around the world!  I’ve got a few things on the way for review like a wireless router, a 10.4” digital photo frame, a Philips 7” portable DVD player and another GPS unit. The GPS unit is another from RightWay, but this one is the Dale Jr Edition with a 4.3” touch screen. I think I’ve got some other things on the way as well, but we’ll see what happens there.. you never know, things just appear on my doorstep all of the time.. (it’s good to be me, I think..).

Inside you’ll find a link to my BlackBerry Bold 9650 review that I just posted yesterday over at TestFreaks, later today I’ll be posting my Droid X review over there as well.. and I don’t want to send the phone back, I love it, it’s just a great phone really. The large screen is just awesome, just I’m still not too sure about not having a hardware keyboard, but I think I could live without with this phone.. it takes great pictures, I actually took it with me yesterday when I took my son to his friends birthday party at the Build-A-Bear workshop and I used it to take pictures, they came out pretty good overall.

I got so bored today I was backtracking through the XDA news today and got jealous of you Android people once again.  This time I ran across a live background of randomly generated Mario levels which is awesome in all ways.  Mario runs through three different levels (outdoor, underground, and castle).  As you can imagine … Read more

MeeGo Prototype Crushes Android 2.2 in JavaScript Test

by

The Aava MeeGo prototype Carrypad has gotten their hands on has been put through a JavaScript test.  It ran the SunSpider test in 4.2s(smaller is better).  To put it in perspective Android and the iPhone 4 ran the same test in 5.8s and 10.9s respectively.  That’s 25% faster than Android 2.2 and more than 2x … Read more

Microsoft: A Business Perspective

by

Microsoft used to be known as the top dog of the tech industry, but this is no longer the case.  With Apple surpassing Microsoft in market capital earlier this year, there has been a great deal of talk lately about Microsoft’s ability to compete in the consumer marketplace. Tim O’Reilly was recently quoted as saying “Microsoft is totally off the radar of the cool, hip, cutting-edge software developers”, although he has since said he never made such a statement.  It is widely believed that mobile computing is the future of the consumer tech sector; with the demise of the Kin, many have wondered if Microsoft can take on the likes of Apple and Google in this space.  Microsoft has heard these rumblings and responded at first with a blog post entitled, “Microsoft by the numbers” and, more recently, via an interview with Todd Bishop.

Ready.Set.7! The Rise of The Windows Phone

by

I had one thought in my mind when I read that Xbox Live brought in over 1 Billion dollars in the last fiscal year.  Investment!  Just like people are reluctant to give up their iPhones because of the investment they have made in their apps and iTunes purchases.  This also tells me “free for all” … Read more
