Notes about the G1 as a MID
It’s surprising that something as portable as the T-Mobile G1 and powerful a platform as Android can be so useful. Perhaps it shouldn’t be, but I’ve been using my G1 as a mobile internet device more and more often.
The biggest issue as many will point out is power, and the G1 is worse at [...]
Android, Gmail, and Thunderbird
With the knowledge that I’ll be moving to the T-Mobile G1 in the near future, I started thinking about my contact list. Yeah, the one I have in Outlook that I sync to my current Windows Mobile phone. But wait, there’s no sync client for Android phones.
However, in the case of the T-Mobile G1, [...]
T-Mobile G1 will be here on Nov. 10
Looks like Christmas is in October for me this year. I’ll be looking for the new T-Mobile G1 to show up around the 10th of November according to the order information. Yeah, I couldn’t help joining over 1.5 million other new Android fans and preordered the phone last night.
I’ve been waiting for some time [...]
The Final Piece?
Its no secret that I’ve long been a fan of Gmail. In fact, I moved my main email domain to Google’s hosted service about two years ago. I’ve loved the flexibility, space, search, and tagging that are tightly incorporated into the service.
The only problem was a few niggling odds & ends. Not big issues [...]
Dumbphone
Ok, in a moment of weakness (or brilliance… you decide) I jumped at the change to go back to a simple feature phone rather than a smartphone. So my trusty T-Mobile MDA (my MDA Page is here) has been replaced with the phone you see to the right – a Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. I’d [...]
Life-hacking the T-Mobile MDA
So for all you T-Mobile owners out there, I’ve found a few fun ways to give your device a new lease on life. It’s true that we are all getting tired of the lack of 3G service by T-Mobile, or maybe the “long in the tooth” look & feel of Windows Mobile 5 and [...]
T-Mobile 3G: When?
You know, I’m a fairly patient guy. However, I’m just about at my wit’s end with the constant delays in T-Mobile rolling out 3G data services. I use mobile data services, and really need to have a faster connection than the ~150kbps that my current T-Mobile EDGE service allows.
Sure, I’ve got the plan that [...]
Twitter T-Mobile Issue was Technical
Late last week, there seemed to be a problem developing between Twitter and T-Mobile for both their customers. It was reported over at Get Satisfaction that T-Mobile Shuts Down Twitter Service for Good? – with a *TON* of Twitter/T-Mobile users jumping on and adding to the confusion.
This morning, Twitter posted on their blog that the [...]
iPhone Development – 100 Resources
I’m not a software developer, even though that’s what I’ve always wanted to be when I grow up. But I see that VirtualHosting.com has an exhaustive list of tools, guides, and applications to assist in writing that killer app for the iPhone.
Whether you’re developing for the iPhone or just want to find more [...]
Reasons why I can’t buy an iPhone
It’s not because it’s Apple.
I’ve been reading and thinking about the iPhone a lot lately. I’m coming up on needing to upgrade my aging, failing, but fantastic T-Mobile MDA. I’ve been fascinated by the features and simplicity of the iPhone that has, of course, been the center of mobile tech hype for months now.
The [...]
