WinPho Doom and Gloom? Not just yet…

by

I’ve been gone for a while with some personal stuff, mainly trying to find a new job and possibly relocate myself anywhere other than where I am, but today I read some articles that require some additional insight that I just can’t withstand slapping against Simmons’ Android smugness.  I know TheFight already posted some Nokia … Read more

AT&T to throttle unlimited data customers starting October 1st

by

I know that this is slightly dated news to a lot of our readers as it hit the blogs late last week. I thought I would weigh in on it a little bit more here on Mobility Digest and of course, invite comments and conversation. Largely I am pretty pissed off and wanted to vent. … Read more

AT&T Senior Android Developer tries to calm the Android Update Anger

by

I saw this video floating around yesterday and I thought I would post it as a Rant. I don’t do rants very well but this has been a gnawing issue for AT&T for WAY longer than the Android platform which they continue to SUCK at updating. In the video Senior Project Manager Dante Martin tried … Read more

Nokia Will Team Up With Microsoft, Once Microsoft’s Abode Deal is Finalized

by

Seriously the rumors about this Nokia-Microsoft/WP7 thing are ridiculous. There are no facts and it’s just a question of sheer speculation and ‘what do you think?’ questions with the opinions of a few analysts from 5 person firms thrown in to add to a story line. Remember when Microsoft was going to acquire Adobe? That … Read more

Windows Phone 7 Finally Gets Some (Very Minor) Mainstream Coverage

by

For those of you who are following Windows phone 7, you’re in the clear minority. And that’s coming from me…the person already waiting outside the AT&T store for them to sell me one. Aside from the fact that technology makes up less than 1.6% of the total news coverage, and Microsoft gets 1/5th the amount … Read more

PSA: Don’t Use Your Cell In The Elevator

by

Look, I’m not Kanye West crazy, but seriously every day I have to deal with some idiot who walks into the elevator and either tries to continue a phone call or worse yet, starts to make a phone call inside an elevator. It’s always the same. “Wait, I’m in an elevator” “I’m almost out” “Are … Read more

WMPU Versus Mobility Digest? Not So Much: Here’s The Full Story

by

For those of you that follow tech blogs like stocks you’ve probably seen Surur at WMPowerUser lay down a healthy dose of fire against our site today. It was premised on the basis that our site took a ‘direct attack on [their] site and its readers. Implying that [they] are psychologically disturbed for choosing Windows … Read more

A Rant And Poll Concerning Digital Cameras vs. Camera Phones

by

DavidK wanted to do an article about the death of point and shoot cameras with the rise of decent camera technology in newer smartphones.  I was of the dissenting opinion that, despite having high mega-pixel ratings for camera phones, they still fall very far short of traditional camera designs for several reasons.  We were too lazy to duke it out but we did want to know what the readers thought.  To do an overall comparison between the two products we wanted to narrow it down to several categories for overall product value and not just performance.  The rundown will go like this: Price, Connectivity, Quality, Ease of Use, and Convenience.  Some of these categories will be a little more or less important than others, but I’ll try to keep the tech jargon to a minimum to get my point across.  I’ll run a poll after the breakdowns so you can tell us who was right or at least less wrong than the other.  Read on for perspective.
