My Amazon Kindle arrived today — thanks Julie! — and I’m eagerly putting it through its paces for an upcoming Gadgeteer review. Earlier this year I reviewed the Sony Reader and I’m looking forward to comparing the two. (The Kindle is definitely in the lead so far.) I don’t want to spoil my review too [...]

Now that we know an iPhone SDK is coming, here are my predictions about it based on all of His Holiness’ statements about “security” and “protecting the network”: Prediction One. No retail iPhone will run unsigned apps, ever, at all. There will be no possibility to install them by clicking through warning dialogs, as you [...]

My review of the HTC TyTn II is up at The Gadgeteer. In short, I like it. It’s a worthy upgrade from the original, with better performance, a solid feel, internal GPS, and many small improvements and fixes. It’s good enough to tide me over until Apple makes an iPhone I actually want, at least…

As I’ve mentioned in some of my previous posts (here and here for example) I’ve been looking for the perfect mobile device, and not finding one. At some point today UPS will be dropping off a fresh new HTC TyTn II. I already know it isn’t perfect, but it is a nice incremental upgrade to [...]

My review of the Sony Reader e-book device has been posted over at The Gadgeteer. In short, I like it but it still has room for improvement (doesn’t everything?) — for the rest you’ll have to read the full review.

As I mentioned a couple of days ago I have been playing with a Nokia 770 lately to see if it is a viable addition to my gear bag. What I didn’t mention before was the difficulty I have been having tethering my HTC TyTn to it through Bluetooth. It may seem silly to use [...]

Earlier, I wrote about my search for the perfect mobile device, and why it seems like there might not be one. But what about a two-device solution? Palm seems to be taking a stab at that idea with their upcoming Foleo, and I’m looking forward to trying that. In the meantime, I’ve been playing with [...]

With the release of the iPhone, I’ve been considering my options for mobile devices to try to figure out if any of them is ideal for me. The iPhone isn’t — I’ll talk more about that in a later post — and unfortunately it seems like nothing else either. This post, and probably others to [...]
