Keep missing the mark

I keep hearing the cry to lower the prices of smart phones, well I have one for you. Lower the prices of their monthly plan.
If you put your money down for an iPhone you are going to pay about $70 a month for a two year plan (yes that comes out to $1680).
Granted it comes [...]

I have to give them credit

When I saw the BETA version of Microsoft Office 2010 was out, I first thought I would like to try it but who needs the hassle.
In previous versions I needed to overwrite my old Office install and that would goof things up when the BETA trial ended.
This time around what they have done for the [...]

Apple iPhone Approval Process

Many people in the media are complaining about the iPhone application approval process, its takes to long, to arbitrary, not good for people , blah, blah, blah.
If you ever needed a reason why the approval process is there, take a look at this “Knocking” application. It was denied approval, then the developer send an email [...]

One shot Windows Mobile

I have a few Microsoft Windows Mobile phones. They have never, ever been upgraded.
I want to believe me, but I cant, even if I could (I have seen a few instances) the manufacturer makes it as difficult as they can for me to upgrade.
Its a smart phone that cant be upgraded. I might as [...]

Windows Mobile is dead

Everyone is eagerly anticipating their iPhone 3.0 firmware upgrade this week bringing new features and fixing bugs.
One thing that is clear is Apple (however pompous they may be) seems to get these phone upgrades every year and almost flawless to all the phones (even the legacy ones).
If you buy a Windows Mobile Phone you are [...]

The perfect server

I was looking for a fool proof server setup for a small to medium size company with expandability. I think I found a solution.
I will take a quad (or dual quad) Processor Pentium machine, Windows 2008, Hyper-V server and a Drobo Pro External Disk.
This way I have foolproof data mirroring, the ability to add multiple [...]

The tax man cometh (or Do the Math)

We got a new iPhone 3G yesterday. Yes I can officially say I am an Apple iPhone developer without having my NDA license pulled.
I got the Estimate of the first bill and without any taxes or surcharges it comes out to $74.99 (USD). It includes 450 voice minutes, unlimited data plan and 200 text messages [...]

iPhone depression

Listen I love my iPhone, it has all the functionality i would ever need (except for MMS and a video recorder), it lets me download programs and surf the internet.
Why do I find myself leaving the phone in the car and carrying my cheap Motorola from Verizon. Simple, the voice quality from my AT&T iPhone [...]

Bluetooth goes back

A couple of things over the past few days. The first one is when I went to the local Verizon phone store to get a Bluetooth headset. I lost the wired connector for my iPhone so I figured I would go the whole nine yards and buy a Bluetooth wireless headset. I picked up a [...]

Windows Mobile is over

How can you have a twelve year lead in something and for those ten years release nothing but junk and make it hard for developers to release products?
That what Microsoft has done for the Windows Mobile (Phone) Platform.
I develop across three platforms Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and the iPhone. To make Blackberry and iPhone applications, no [...]
