The Palm Pre Kicks the iPhone’s Ass

Jan 12. 2009

With CES 2009 closing tonight, I think it is safe to say that the biggest announcement/drool-worthy gadget at this year's largest gadgets show was the Palm Pre. Upon first look, the phone isn't too impressive. But if you're curious to take a good look at what the interweb has been buzzing about since its announcement Friday, take the time to watch this video of the keynote: Dontcha just love it? However, no device is perfect. My three main gripes with the Pre are: No expansion card. The 8 GB of internal storage is impressive, but most smart phones now come standard with the option of popping in a microSD card for full utilization of its features. Heck, a 2 TB (yes you read that right...

Pogo Sketch Stylus…For Those of Us Without Tablets!

Dec 24. 2008

Being a designer without a tablet can be a major PITA. I've always wanted one but never really got around to getting one of my own due to sheer laziness. Besides, the lack of a tablet has led me to become pretty damn good with a mouse or trackpad. Now, Pogo has released a stylus that can turn your laptop's touchpad into a tablet! All for just $15! It's too early to tell if the product is a worthy investment, but the idea is very promising! Via Engadget. ...

I Gots Myself a G1!

Dec 24. 2008

As much as I love my Voyager, I think I've overused it. I use it in lieu of an iPod or the radio. I activate its kickass navigation system (which talks to me!) whenever driving to an unknown location. I overdose on its web browser. So it did not come as a surprise when the phone started acting up. Restarting by itself. Frozen applications. And about a month ago, the web browser would die (and bring the entire phone to its grave) whenever I visited Gmail. No way to check email on my phone? The horror! I knew I needed...

Let’s Move to China

Dec 14. 2008

Lenovo (yes, that Lenovo - the one that doesn't make cell phones) has designed a cell phone to comply to China Mobile's Open Mobile System, with Google's Android at its core. The thing is, it looks pretty dope. Deliciously beautiful, in fact. Too bad we will never see it stateside. After my elation at such an attractive phone for Android, then the subsequent disappointment at its availability, I told J, "We should move to China." "Seriously?" "Seriously. This phone is hot." "You would move to China for a phone?" "Yes, you know I would." "Don't joke about that - you know I am willing to move to China if you're willing." Then I shut up. [Via Engadget] ...

iPhone Numberpad App

Nov 19. 2008

As much as I *heart* my LG Voyager (especially its rockin' Navigation system), I do get tempted to by the lusciousness that is the iPhone. In particular, the Safari browser. Although LG and Verizon like to tout the Voyager's browser as a fully functioning HTML decoder, the fact remains that it doesn't work too well with anything other than HTML. CSS rendering is unreliable and JavaScript is a hit or a miss. My phone has also developed a nasty habit of automatically shutting off whenever it encounters a page heavy with JavaScript/AJAX. *Throws tantrum* So whenever I see yet another cool app for the iPhone, like the Numberkey, I end up emotionally cheating on my Voyager. Can you tell I have a weakness for simple solutions...
