HTC Aria Comes to AT&T on June 20th

AT&T is annoying me to no end, they’ve got their heads so far up Apples (-you know what-) that they can’t give us anything that’s actually decent anymore in terms of phones. Ever since they paired with Apple for the iPhone and now of course the Magical iPad, they’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a cell phone company it seems.  The second Android offering is the HTC Aria and it’s truly unimpressive with it’s measly 600Mhz processor. I’ve got the Motorola BackFlip and it has a 528Mhz CPU, and it sucks, it’s slow, gaming is horrid for the most part and battery life is horrendous. I can’t get through the day without recharging the phone, and that’s a day where I don’t even use it, I get other phones for review all of the time and use those most of the time and the BackFlip will just sit on my desk and the battery will die. What happened to you AT&T? You used to give us the latest and greatest phones, but now everything is about that damn piece of fruit.. Apple should just buy AT&T and get it over with truly, then they’ll have their own little cell phone company and we could go to another company that actually gets new and decent phones, like Verizon for example, they get the best phones anymore. I can tell you first hand actually as they send me the stuff as soon as it comes out and sometimes before, and they‘ve got some good phones on their network and of course they don’t have to worry about the iPhone killing their network either. I think it would be a very bad idea for Verizon to get the iPhone honestly.. Verizon has become what AT&T once was, a good cell phone company that actually cares about giving their customers what they want in terms of the best phones, and their service is excellent as well. Anyway, back to the HTC Aria it’s a mediocre phone, actually it’s more low-end with that CPU in it, I’m sure it will perform as bad as the BackFlip does, but then again HTC knows how to make a phone so maybe they performed some magic and made it better, but I doubt it… So at this point in time we’ve got two crappy Android offerings on AT&T, but they’ve got the iPhone 4 ! Blah… continue on for the full HTC Aria PR if you want..

Konnet Technology Unveils New, Apple-Certified ReflexDock Pro

Arrgh… I’m using a different keyboard now, I’ve been using the same keyboard for almost four years now actually and every once in a while I take it apart and clean it out, they can get pretty dirty inside and out truly.. but it seems with this keyboard, the Das Keyboard, I’m making many more mistakes than usual, it’s a totally different size, it’s longer and the keys seem farther apart, so if I’ve got any errors that’s the reason.. why am I telling you this ?!

Anyway, if you’re looking for a nice dock for your iPhone or iPod then you might want to check out the Konnet ReflexDock pro. It’s not your typical dock though, this one allows you to hook your devices up to your TV to play music and view videos, essentially it puts a mirrored image on the TV screen for you, now only if your TV was a touch screen you’d be set huh?! It does the other stuff too like charging and syncing as well.. I bet you’re saying you never heard of Konnet right, well I have, I’ve got two of their products already one is the Xbox360Charging station that I reviewed over at Xbox360Digest and the other is their Wii induction Charging station that I reviewed over at Bona Fide Reviews, they’re both great quality and they work well..
