I am sure many of you have heard of RedLaser, but I hadn't until today. I love it!
Here's the text from my blog post, written in 2004 (pre iPhone, so I used a Treo...) which' [...]
A New York Times Technology report today titled Library in a Pocket takes a look at the how smartphones are being used to read books. This trend is so strong that one out of every five new iPhone apps released last month was a book. From the article:

Infoworld’s product review format in the 1990’s was famous. It consisted of a detailed and hard hitting qualitative review, accompanied by a grid rating the reviewed product on a number of different critieria.

Hey, Verizon (& Google & Apple & Dell & BestBuy….).
I want to try the Droid but I am already in indentured servitude to AT&T for my iPhone (and have no particular desire to lose it). As much of a gadget geek as I am (I’m no Leo Laporte – [...]
Networks are funny. As soon as they get big enough to have a lot of value, it gets harder to separate the signal from the noise.
That's obvious enough -- just ask anyone using AT&T in an area densely populated with bandwidth-hogging iPhone users like me.

I was talking with Loic Le Meur, CEO and founder of Seesmic, the other night and he was saying that he’s running his business by looking at the numbers, not listening to the hype. He told me that the iPhone isn’t the only platform out there, although he admitted that [...]
Toktumi’s Peter Sisson asks Is the BlackBerry Doomed? and goes on to compare his recent experience of developing for BlackBerry with his experience as an iPhone developer. Many of his complaints – non-standard hardware and OS versions in particular – are the same issues we ran into two years [...]
There’s nothing geeks love more than to argue mobile phone platforms. Here’s Matt Blaisdell saying that apps weren’t key to iPhone’s success. That’s true, but now that Apple has apps the world has changed and challengers to the iPhone will find it very tough.
Here’s why: everyone is using a [...]
During a visit to BusinessWeek on Oct. 23, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski expressed concerns about the available wireless spectrum for broadband devices.
