Michael Guccione — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:18:48 +0000

Stop me if you’ve read this one… Got this in an email from a friend we’ll call C-Dizzle. Actually, that is who I get most of my crazy emails from, but that in no way is a reflection on the sender, of course ;-) And naturally, please don’t take any of this as medical advice, but if you do, please seek medical advice.

How many of us have wished that we could access our music and movies from our home PC on our mobiles? I know I have. Now the other day I was watching something on my computer and finally got sick of Winamp bugging me to download their latest version.

Fashion Icon Ralph Lauren & His Not-So-Iconic Mobile Offering

Michael Guccione — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:35:44 +0000

Being a long-term fan of the Polo brand by designer Ralph Lauren, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had a mobile site. Admittedly, my own lack of fashion sense has often been supplemented by taking a quick glance at their full blown website and perusing current trends and can’t-go-wrong classic looks. (more…)

AT&T Stocks Down, iPhone Sales Up

Michael Guccione — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 05:31:19 +0000

As if anyone is surprised about this one, iPhone sales in the US remain strong and are more than likely responsible for a good portion of AT&T’s estimated 2.36 million new subscribers in the 4th quarter alone. What’s interesting is that following last Tuesday’s announcement from CEO Randall Stephenson regarding weakened consumer wireline business, the stock took a nose dive (10% in a day, ouch). (more…)

With ChaCha Mobile, Answers Are Only A Text Message Away
