Last week, Steve Jobs released Apple's latest iPhone, the iPhone 4. It is without a doubt a stunning piece of engineering and design. I, for one, certainly find it the most attractive iPhone yet. The new iPhone has the same A4 processor as the iPad, and a "retina display" screen. The new screen has packed more pixels into it than early laptops, and is LED backlit. Shunning the 1 button approach of the past, the new iPhone has a couple … [Read more...]

Today's cellular networks support that access today, and future enhancements are making that support even better and much much faster. How much faster? I'll try to put that in context in this post. Early 3G networks had a download speed of 384kbits … [Read more...]

2010 will undoubtedly be a year of technology.

Blackberry 9630 Tour: Perfect for my small business needs
July 18, 2009 By BobGourley
I just upgraded my Verizon Blackberry World Edition to the BlackBerry Tour 9630. This note provides a few observations. I use my phone for business, so I need good clear always-on voice. But my Blackberry is also my hand held office. I need a device that lets me rapidly draft and send e-mails, and I need always on connectivity to the many cloud computing services we have all grown to depend upon in this cloud driven age. I need access to contact … [Read more...]

Yet, it is still stuck in that woefully inadequate 360p, or 480p (less than standard definition!). For all you HD snobs out there (myself included), NVIDIA's Tegra processor is the answer. Tegra! NVIDIA's newest foray comes in four flavors; there are currently 2 offerings in the APX line dedicated to PMPs … [Read more...]

June 14, 2009 By BobGourley

Like lots of other mobile users I need good connectivity and am not always places where WiFi is available and I also have several devices so the idea of having my own mobile hotspot sounded like something I would have to try. I purchased the MiFi 2200 from Verizon and tested it out soon after. I'm really impressed. The device is small-- it is the size of a stack of about 5 credit … [Read more...]
