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.

Xobni – A Must For Every Outlook User

Posted on28. Dec, 2009 by Aryeh.

I have been meaning to review Xobni (“Inbox” backwards – it took me forever to figure that out) for a while now. The delay can be blamed on the fact that I have been using Xobni so much, I haven’t had the time. This is one of the only pieces of software that I shelled out cash to get the premium version, because it is just that good.

I feel like I am writing new posts all the time about phones that are supposed to beat the iPhone at becoming the world’s most advanced mobile platform. Today’s candidate is the new and extremely hyped Google phone or the Nexus One.

5 Reasons Android is Not There Yet

A few days ago, I decided to open up a Samsung Galaxy I was given by Samsung as part of a blogger’s campaign. As you probably know, I was not looking to begin using it as my primary device, since I love my Berry, but I figured I would see what all the hype was about. Well, after a few days, I can say that Google did a pretty decent job on their debut into the mobile world. The interface is attractive and relatively intuitive. The App Market is impressive, and the entire platform’s openness is praise worthy.

How Chrome OS Changes Everything

There have been so many developments in the tech world lately, it was literally difficult for me to choose one to write about. However, at the end of the day, all the new mobile phones announced over the last month, or the new Twitter features released to the tweeting community, are not going to change the future of how we use our computers, Google’s announcements will.

Five Features Missing from Droid’s GPS

The tech world has been non stop talking about Motorola’s new Droid device. There is no doubt it is an exciting new development in the smartphone arena, and it will definitely raise the bar for the future of the mobile space. If I had to choose one feature of the Droid that is making the most amount of noise, it would have to be Google’s new turn by turn GPS app available for Android 2.0 devices.

Five Reasons Droid Will Not Kill the iPhone

Posted on29. Oct, 2009 by hilzfuld.

Seems like every month or two another iPhone killer is released. First it was the BlackBerry Storm, which turned out to be such a bad device, the only thing it ended up killing was itself. Then there was the Palm Pre, which did not even threaten the iPhone’s thrown in the least bit. There are of course many other devices along the way that caused people to throw out the overly used and ridiculous “iPhone Killer” title.

Some Recent Mobile Industry Updates

On any average day, I come across hundreds if not thousands of interesting articles on Twitter. Being that most of my Twitter friends are geeks like me, I would say approximately 80% of those articles are about the mobile industry. If I would blog about even half the exciting mobile developments I read, I would never stop writing. So I figured I would write a short summary of what is happening with the major mobile players based on things I have read recently. Here goes…

5 Exciting Mobile Phones Not Made by Apple

As I was browsing through my content over the past few months, I realized that the vast majority of posts are about social media. In fact, if someone only recently started reading my blog, they would never know I was a mobile geek. The truth of the matter is there are mainly two reasons I have written mostly about social media and not mobile developments over the last few months. For starters, it is what interests people and it is what interests me. Social networks and the industry supporting them are evolving and changing daily in a major way. While the mobile industry is booming and there are new phones introduced hourly, there really is nothing new to speak of. The technology is really all the same, some phones have better processors, some better UIs, but all in all, nothing revolutionary. Social media on the other hand is renewing itself on a regular basis.

5 BlackBerry Issues I Would Not Have On An iPhone

Posted on29. Sep, 2009 by hilzfuld.

I have to say, I am really torn on this issue. I change my mind every day. Basically, I love the Bold and it pretty much gives me anything and everything I need from a phone. I use Twitter and Facebook regularly with both apps running in the background and fully integrated into my Bold’s messaging system. That means I am notified about every new reply or DM immediately as well as any Facebook event I choose to know about. The GPS on the Bold is blazing fast and picks up the satellite within seconds. The email system is unprecedented in its convenience, in fact, it is leaves you so connected at all times that I actually turn it off sometimes, to disconnect, something I never thought I would want to do.
