Droid, iPhone, or HD2… Which would I choose?

Chris Leckness — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:25:40 +0000

OK, I have had be fortunate enough to have spent the last week carrying all three devices around almost everywhere I’ve gone. I have been alternating what is carried in my pocket with the other 2 in my man purse. Yes, it’s that Pharos GPS man purse I’ve loved toting around for years.

So… If I had to choose between the 3 phones to be my daily driver for 6+ months minimum, which would it be? The answer might surprise you. Read on…

Verizon Samsung Omnia II Incoming

Chris Leckness — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:03:54 +0000

A little over a week ago, Verizon and Samsung made the “rumored” Samsung Omnia II official. Yesterday, I got word that I have one arriving today for our review. I reviewed the original Omnia last year and wasn’t overly impressed, but a lot has changed and this one looking pretty hot. I will have a video and some photos online for your viewing pleasure by this time tomorrow.

The Samsung Omnia II is a Windows Mobile 6.5 touch screen phone and Verizon will have it on Dec. 2 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate on a 2 year. The Omnia II features a full virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology that allows customers to input text faster and easier with one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard. The Omnia II is also features the Samsung Widget Store, which provides customers with the ability to download hundreds of free widgets.

SDXC Coming to a Laptop Near You…FAST

Zealot — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:20:47 +0000

Considering all the wonderful products and advancements that are currently slated for 2010, next year is beginning to sound like a strange, mystical land filled with wonders and mystery like Narnia, or New Jersey. The next milestone is one that has been on the standards roadmap for a year, but looks to soon appear on mainstream devices.

The new SDXC memory card standard which was announced near the beginning of the year is all ready to begin replacing current SDHC cards in 2010. The new SD cards will support speeds as high as 300MB/s and capacities as large as 2TB (as opposed to SDHC which can handle up to 45MB/s and 32G capacity). On top of the size and speed of the new cards, the standard is also backwards compatible, so SDXC readers will be able to use SDHC, SD, and MMC memory cards as well.

DailyTech reports that Lenovo, HP, and Dell are already preparing laptops with SDXC support, based on Intel’s upcoming Arrandale mobile CPUs. The only thing that has kept vendors from offering SDXC readers in current laptops is that most SDHC readers are connected internally through a USB 2.0 bus. USB 2.0 can’t handle the bandwidth of the new cards, so SDXC readers must be connected through the PCIe bus. The new hardware designs are taking that into consideration.

These first SDXC enabled laptops are expected to be shown at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in January, a year after the new standard was announced at the 2009 CES.

BlackBerry Tutorial: Browser Fix with BlackBerry MCP

Sam Hobson — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:53:32 +0000

I recently fixed my BlackBerry Bold and am now gonna start posting BlackBerry stuff again. And I’m going to start off with a tutorial on how to activate the Internet Browser as the default instead of MEdia Net and WAP.

This tutorial is aimed at those with an AT&T BlackBerry who have upgraded to a leaked OS 5.0 and find they are stuck with MEdia Net as the default browser, which means they can’t change the homepage, set the identity, or search from the address page, among other things.

The tutorial is after the break.

Net Nanny Mobile: Protect your child on the go.

Sam Hobson — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:49:43 +0000

Content Watch, a well known distributor in parental controls, has teamed up with SMobile to bring you Net Nanny for Mobile. It gives parents the ability to ~~stalk~~ monitor their kids and teens and see what they are doing. It helps parents protect their kids from misconduct, exploitation, sexting, loss and theft, and predators ~~while at the same time stripping them of the little privacy they have~~.

Some of the ~~intrusive~~ features include:

Email and SMS/MMS Monitoring
View all pictures taken, sent, and received with the device
View all of the voice conversations
View contacts and apps on the phone
View location via GPS from Google Maps
Filtering calls and messages containing non-preferred language.

It also has features to protect the phone in cases of loss or theft, including GPS tracking, remote backup, lock, and wiping and restoring, and antivirus.

Net Nanny Mobile is available for a monthly fee of $29.99 for the first phone and $14.99 for additional phones. Existing Net Nanny (PC version) users can start at $14.99.

Now, as a 16yo, its natural I don’t agree with this, but I’m not going to go into that. All I’m going to say is that something like this is kind of intrusive. If anyone cares to debate on this, I will gladly join. If it happens in the forums, tell me so I can join.

My Nook is no longer on Schedule, Gift Offered…

Chris Leckness — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:27:16 +0000

The other day I shared that my Nook’s delivery seemed to be on scheduled based on the status on their website. This was checked out based on info that many are getting 2010 ship dates on this thing. Well, I got an email today that changes that status a little. Instead of getting it 2-3 days from now, it seems it’s going to be December 9th now. On December 7th, will I get an email saying December 14th? Good thing they don’t like to cut it close to Christmas huh? Don’t you like having your Nook Delayed?

Well, this makes it better. Free overnight shipping (I think I paid for that anyhow) and $10 off for being a week late? I’d rather have the toy. I paid like $16 for shipping, is that the cost of overnight or 2day? Who knows.

ZuneHD gaming a lot more fun with friends!

Adam Stafford — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:46:59 +0000

Okay so a few people have pissed and moaned about the lack of the WiFi capabilities to share with friends. The 3 play offer that they had was nothing compared to the web browsing and competitive gaming offered in the Zune HD. This weekend while waiting for my nephew to come into this world, which still hasn’t happened yet, I decided to pull out the Zune HDs and go head-to-head with the family. The WiFi gaming was alot of fun, whether it was the checkers, chess, racing, bowling or Texas hold Em’, we all had a great time.

Although the driving took some getting use to, all ages were able to take off quickly using the controls. Mom being the habitual gambler showed us a thing or two on how to play Texas Hold Em’. We tested the three devices in a local retail store during the Black Friday brawl to see how well it performed. Things got a little dicey at several aisles away, however you calculate that… over 25 feet?

Finally we came to the conclusion as we all gave it an A+ for responsiveness between 3 HD devices!

@Mobilitysite Twitter Followers…

Chris Leckness — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:42:52 +0000

I want to drop a quick note apologizing for the barrage of Tweets sent out just now. I didn’t expect each of the imported posts to create tweets to the account. I just imported iPhoneMVP into Mobilitysite and this caused this to occur. Fortunately, Twitter prevents spam by throttling the amount of tweets sent per hour. I really hope the other posts that were imported do not continue after the time is up. I tried to tweet this to let everyone know what was happening and how sorry I am about this, but It’s locked for the hour.

Once again, I am truly sorry for this and hope it didn’t cause too much trouble in anyone’s life. Thanks for following us in the 1st place and I will do all I can to ensure that something like this does not happen again.

Windows CE… Coming to a Projector Near You?

ksong12 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:06:03 +0000

We’ve heard a lot of news about pico projectors recently, with AT&T’s new eXpo, projector-carrying, Windows Mobile running phone.

Windows CE is now even coming to those little projectors themselves, courtesy of Lancerlink.

Specs include Windows CE 5.0, 64MB of memory, 4GB of flash storage, an ARM CPU, USB port, and even two integrated 0.5 watt speakers, for those who happen to enjoy tiny, tinny sound. Resolution is 640×480, which is quite sufficient for many quick purposes.

This thing is pretty compact – if the price is right, it could do pretty well, in my opinion.

Available only in Japan right now, however.

Cyber Monday According to AT&T

ksong12 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:50:31 +0000

AT&T’s got a couple of Cyber Monday deals, for just one penny. Of course, you’ll have to sign the obligatory two year contract, but still, if you’re in the market for a new phone, or your contract has recently expired, it may be a good opportunity.

On the other hand, some of you might want to wait and save that 2 year renewal for the recently discovered iPhone3,1, if it does indeed come out some time next year.

Cyber Monday: 1 Cent Sale.

*Purchase for only one penny the Nokia e71x; Sony Cybershot; Curve 8900; Pantech Reveal; or, Samsung Jack. Device offers rotate every three hours. Two-year service agreement required.

New iPhone discovered in records?

Chris Leckness — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:45:18 +0000

It’s about that time for Apple to make a new splash to squelch the “Droid Invasion” right? The iPhone hasn’t changed in appearance much since it’s launch back in 2007, wouldn’t it be nice to see something “new” other than software refinements and the addition of 3G? Who knows what is coming, all we know is that Apple Insider is reporting that a new version of the iPhone showed up in some usage logs. It’s showing as “iPhone3,1”. Not sure what that means, but it gets the anticipation built up.

PinchMedia who provides the analytics for the application breaks down customer usage including what specific devices are being used. This list of devices is reported to developers using internal device identification numbers assigned by Apple. In this case, "iPhone3,1" was first spotted in Pandav’s usage logs in November. This "iPhone3,1" identifier does not match up with any shipping iPhones. The last iPhone released to the public was the iPhone 3GS which carries the identification string "iPhone2,1".

What would you like to see changed about the iPhone 3GS? Anything? Me… I want an “iPhone Pro”. I want the iPhone 3GS with a slide out qwerty. I want the ability to multitask out of the box. I want to be able to theme without jailbreaking. Other than that, the iPhone 3GS is a great phone.
