Rover 4G Wireless Internet Problem
Yesterday, my new Rover 4G Wireless Internet “puck” arrived in the mail. I could use the Rover Puck last night (for a very brief while) just fine. Suddenly, and without warning, it turned non-functional – despite a 100% perfect admin status page. I was grateful to be able to give ‘er a go with their [...]
3G vs 4G Speed Tests
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Please post a video response demonstrating how your speeds measure up against mine. Your mileage may vary! From where I sit in this home office, however, I’m not so sure I see a clear difference between Sprint’s 4G network and AT&T’s [...]
Do You Share Too Much Online?
With the events this week on Twitter surrounding the unfortunate death of a Florida toddler, one cannot help but wonder how much social media is too much. This story has garnered national attention, due to the thousands of tweets flying back and forth between two separate “camps”. One camp – those who are friends of [...]
Are all iPhone Problems Apple’s Fault – or AT&T’s?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed My wife loves to remind me of the day that the iPhone was released. I had come up with a list of reasons why I would not get an iPhone. Thankfully, I have one now. I admit it… I’m an addict. [...]

The Good Side of iPhone 2.0
Like anyone else who tunes into my live streaming life, Mr. Staggs knows that I am addicted to my iPhone. He personally has an iPod Touch, using the new 2.0 operating system software. During his transition to 2.0, he has come across some highs and lows that many people would not notice. He sent in [...]
What is 3G?
The Media is clueless on what 3G means. Some news reporters claim that “the three-gigabyte iPhone” was released. Some report that it’s the 3rd Generation iPhone. Ugh. I asked people over at Friendfeed just what exactly they think 3G means. The answers are interesting, for sure. To be honest, I don’t even know what 3G [...]

Why I Hate Salespeople: AT&T Pisses Me Off
Yesterday, I was hoping to find an iPhone 3G (duh). I drove past the local AT&T store a few times and always found quite a line. Decided I’d wait until it died down before going in. “Surely,” I thought. “The Apple Stores would be 100x as busy on a day like today.” I came back [...]
Is the iPhone 3G Worth Buying?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I don’t think I’ll be standing in line for the release of the iPhone 3G, although I will be getting one. I do access the Internet frequently from my first gen iPhone, and here in Seattle we have the 3G Network. [...]
Thoughts on Apple’s WWDC 2008, iPhone 3G?
The keynote for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference has come and gone. I can’t say that all of my expectations were met, but I can say this: iPhone 3G should be a “no brainer” upgrade from the current iPhone. Not only will it be substantially cheaper, but substantially faster as well. As Boing Boing points out, [...]
Sprint UpStage EVDO
I’m a member of the Sprint Ambassador program, which means they’ve supplied me with test equipment in the past. A few weeks ago, I received an UpStage in the mail – and couldn’t wait to give ‘er a whirl. I have yet to try downloading any kind of content with the device, although that’s a [...]
