Choosing a new phone.
feistyred:
My contract with Sprint is up and if I stay with them, I basically get the new customer price on a phone.
I love having a blackberry but hate how far behind they are compared to the iphone and android. Within two months of getting my curve, it was already obsolete. I am trying to decide if I want to get the Blackberry Tour or switch completely over to the Palm Pre. I really like...

“What the patent boils down to, as New Scientist lays out, is Nokia would create a cell phone with heavier components in a strong frame, which would sit two sets of rails, one allows it travel up and down, the other side to side. As the user walks around or jostles the phone, the frame bumps against strips of piezoelectric crystals at the end of each rail and generates a...

When Public Radio Exchange (PRX) developed the free Public Radio Player for the iPhone, the nonprofit hoped for 500,000 downloads. It now has 2.5 million. “I’m very happy with that number,” says PRX executive director Jake Shapiro.
He should be. The PRX dev team has already cranked out two great iPhone apps, one for public radio in general and one for the popular show This American...

The Problem with the iPhone Universal Remote Apps...
toldorknown:
The last thing I need is a another fifty or hundred dollar device the size of a matchbox.
I can’t even find my Mac remote.
What I want is something that can be discreetly mounted somewhere with line-of-sight to the components I want to control, and then controlled from my iPhone via either WiFi or Bluetooth.
Does such a thing already exist?
And… my phone just reset itself to Factory...

Getting No Signal From Brains And Phones
Caller: “I’ve had nothing but trouble with this phone recently.”
Me: “What problems have you been having?”
Caller: “No matter what I do, I can’t get a signal. I had to ring customer services!
Me: “Did you call them off that phone?”
Caller: “Yes.”
Me: “And is that the phone I am speaking to you on?”
Caller: “Yes. And they said I should try switching it off taking the sim card out, putting it back in and turning it back on and that would help re-set it.”
Me: “Did that work?”
Caller: “I don’t know, they hung up on me while I was trying.”
Me: “While you where switching your phone off?”
Caller: “Yes.”

Yelp vs. Foursquare.
All I gotta say is…the 1st one to get the most local joints to offer customers incentives is the 1st one to win the battle. Foursquare has a few steps to go on making their offerings more sophisticated other than just checking in but at the same time, Yelp harasses the heck out of their writers and from what I’ve heard- harasses...
