iPhone 4….Wow!
Friday, July 2nd, 2010 by Joe Lawrence
It is no secret that I am an iPhone fan. The saddest day of my gadget geek life is when I had to give mine up because AT&T is garbage. Now that I have seen the new iPhone 4, I am tempted to put up with the 20 dropped calls a week.
Every time I watch someone use an iPhone, a little piece of me dies. I went to the Droid Eris about a year ago, and it is not the same. The Android software was better than the iPhone software because you could customize the phone in any way you...

Saturday night I was pumped to see that Verizon wanted to push an update through my phone. I have the Droid Eris and from the beginning, they have been talking about this update with many new and improved features. They delivered on them, but also a bit of a headache as well.

On a recent trip, I learned a new way to turn a frown upside down. How many times have you arrived at a hotel or friend's home and not been able to get Internet? Many cell phones can help with this.
It never fails, you go somewhere new and need your computer for work and are stuck like Chuck. Most hotels now have Wi-Fi, but not all are free. Some charge upward of $10 a day for connections. This is insane. A quick trick for these hotels before I move on. Most of the time, the lobbies offer free Wi-Fi. ...
