(Yes, an update. I know it’s been a while, but I will try to blog more regularly.)
While I understand Google had to do a lot behind the scenes to ensure that actions mapped into Gmail properly, it has been a long wait for long-time Gmail users like me to get IMAP support in Google’s [...]
This review was originally slated to be published on MobileBurn, but scheduling difficulties meant we had to pass it over. It could be of use for some though, and it is a pretty great device, so I thought I would publish it here. Read on for all the details. Note: Click on the photos to [...]
I have held off from blogging about the iPhone here much thus far, but I am going to chuck some opinion out there. This is not just about the iPhone though, it is more about how the industry needs to react because of it.
Let me say this right off the bad: the iPhone is not [...]

That’s on track for four times the popularity of its nearest competing story, the Nokia [...]
Looks like Samsung will be unveiling two new handsets for the US market at CES next week – on the 8th at 10:30am, to be exact. Both devices will feature stereo Bluetooth, a microSD memory card slot, a 2.0 megapixel camera, and will be slim devices (as is a regular occurrence with Samsung), though one [...]
In one of the most ridiculous news items I have read in a long time, Stuff is reporting that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), which oversees secondary and tertiary qualifications in the country, will be allowing SMS-style ‘TXT TLK’ in exams this year. I have written about my concerns over school age children using [...]
While I had the equipment out, I decided to film a quick video of the MOTOKRZR to give people an idea of the size of the device and speed of the user interface. Click below to watch the video.
