A Secret Twitter Feature and The New Dell Streak Tablet
Posted on04. Jun, 2010 by hilzfuld.
Here I was, thinking I knew everything there was to know about Twitter (follow me here), and a short private conversation I had yesterday changes it all. Let me back up a little. It is no secret that I am a big sucker for new shiny mobile devices, so when Dell announced that they are entering the new tablet market, I was of course very excited. All the tech sites were reporting that Dell was releasing their 5 inch mobile phone/tablet device dubbed the Dell Streak and that it would be available in the US unlocked for $500.

Want to Avoid Mobile Phone Radiation? There’s Now An App for That!
Posted on18. May, 2010 by hilzfuld.
Among the many topics that surround the tech industry and specifically the mobile space, cellphone radiation is one of the hottest (no pun intended, OK, maybe it was a little intended). We recently read about a new study that was just launched and will be researching the correlation between mobile phone usage and health issues. The study is called COSMOS and is planned to be conducted over the period of three decades.

Adobe Responds to Steve Jobs with Endless Flash on Android Videos
Posted on12. May, 2010 by hilzfuld.
Wow, this is seriously starting to heat up. At first we thought that Apple just left out the Flash technology maybe because of political considerations or maybe technological ones, but there were rumors circulating that that was just temporary. At some point or another, most of us believed Flash would eventually make an appearance on iPhone OS. That all changed when Jobs wrote his famous blog post calling Adobe Flash a technology of the past and saying that it was to closed a platform for the iPhone (oh, the irony).

Nokia N8 and BlackBerry 6.0 in Action (VIDEOS)
Posted on27. Apr, 2010 by hilzfuld.
We just discussed the newly announced Nokia N8 flagship device, and as we said, the specs are impressive, the OS a little less. The processor is a little weak by today’s market standards, but everything else seems pretty amazing. Here are some initial videos displaying the N8′s capabilities. What do you think of the device? Does it impress you or leave you wanting more from Nokia?

An Open Letter to Steve Jobs about iPhone Apps
Posted on09. Mar, 2010 by hilzfuld.
First of all, let me say, I am a big fan. I was not one of the early Apple users who had an Apple product before it was “cool”, but ever since I got my Macbook over a year ago, I am now what they call a “fanboy”. I own numerous iPods and other Apple products, and I have been known to argue the point, specifically regarding the iPhone, that despite its shortcomings, it remains the most advanced mobile platform to date.

Nokia’s Flagship N900 Is Everything The iPhone Is Not
Posted on26. Feb, 2010 by hilzfuld.
A few days ago I was fortunate enough to receive a nice surprise from Nokia, their flagship Maemo mobile device, the Nokia N900. To be honest, I had lowered my expectations for the device as a result of a friend’s opinion, who told me I was not going to like the phone. Before I get into details about the phone with all its shortcomings and industry-leading features and specifications, let me just state in one sentence that overall I am extremely pleased with the device and pleasantly surprised by its endless capabilities.

Why There is No Comparing The iPhone to Android Phones
Posted on03. Feb, 2010 by hilzfuld.
All this talk about the Nexus One and the Droid has had two effects on me. For starters, after playing with the Nexus One, I am now 100% convinced that I want one. The phone is extremely impressive both in terms of its hardware and software. It is surpisingly thin and the screen is gigantic, relatively speaking. The entire phone is made out of some sort of rubberized material I have not seen before. In terms of the processor, the Nexus responds extremely fast, way faster than any other phone I have used, but then again, I have never used a Snapdragon device.

HTC HD2: A Clear Picture of Where the Industry is Headed
Posted on17. Jan, 2010 by hilzfuld.
While the mobile industry is busy talking about and comparing the Nexus One and the iPhone, there is one phone that really gives a clear perspective of the entire market and sums up the industry in a nutshell. It was not long ago when I first laid hand on the famous Motorola RAZR. “Wow, what a phone”, I thought, but what was it about the RAZR that so impressed people. What did the phone really being to the table that made people by the RAZR by the millions? Let’s be honest, was it the features that the phone offered or was it simply a pure case of style over substance? Did the RAZR revolutionize the mobile phone in that it offered better wireless broadband? Did it offer a better camera? Was its user experience superior to its predecessors?

The First ELSE: A Mobile Phone from The Future (Videos)
Posted on12. Jan, 2010 by hilzfuld.
I think it is safe to say that the mobile space is heading in the direction of user experience. Mobile operating systems that offer annoying and complicated experiences are just not gonna make it in the long run against names like iPhone and Android. This is true for Symbian, it is true for Windows Mobile (although I hear the newer 6.5 is a huge improvement), and some will say it is true for BlackBerry.

What Lies Beneath the iPhone/Nexus One Question
Posted on10. Jan, 2010 by hilzfuld.
I hesitated for days before writing this post because this topic is just so overblogged already that it has gotten borderline boring. Having said that, I am now strongly considering replacing my Bold with an iPhone 3Gs, and almost everyone that has heard that has asked me the same question: “Why not get the Google phone?” As I write this post, I honestly do not know the reasons that will appear below as for why I am not going to get a Nexus One, but one thing is for sure, I am not.
