As the clock ticks by I keep getting updates and rumors on when the Touch Pro 2 is going to be released. The rumors keep flying June, July, August.  The strongest rumor seems to be August 12 on TMobile’s network (originally it was suppose to be today July 22). This is somewhat surprising, considering ATT [...]

Is it just me or has Sony Ericsson failed at successfully entering the mainstream US smartphone market.  Its unclear to me as to why Sony Ericcson hasn’t been competing in the US with HTC, Samsung, RIM and Apple.  Not too many people would say that SE makes poor quality phones.   They certainly dont suffer [...]

For the past 8 years Amazon has slowly been building their wireless sales unit. I have watched them for years offer mostly GSM devices for a lot less than the actual carriers. Initially I had a lot of skepticism and there was a lot of fine print which made me nervous. After witnessing how the [...]

Earlier this year Google unveiled a new feature to their Google Maps called Latitude. Latitude allows you to “see your friends’ locations and status messages.” Let me translate Google’s wording for you; Allow an annoying or potentially dangerous former friend to watch our every move or Allow your new girlfriend to stalk you.
