I’ve been using “Kindle technology” for some time now – first on my iPhone, then on my Mac laptop. Kindle is a great service – books are cheaper, and it’s convenient. So why own a Kindle? (Note: Kindle for Droid came out a couple of days ago).
It’s meant for reading. Reading books, blogs and newspapers. [...]
Everything about the iPad looks great! But when you look under the hood, you see the screen resolution is a mere 1024 x 768, or 132 pixels/inch. Man, that is not good for a reading device. In comparison, the iPhone is 163 pixels/inch, the Droid is 267 pixels/inch. What a disappointment!
Hopefully the 2nd generation will [...]
Well I’ve been rocking the Droid for two weeks now (and yeah, I’m gonna keep it!), so I figured I should make one final post concerning what I still like about it (or like even more), what’s starting to bug me, and what I miss about the iPhone. I also wanted to address the hit [...]
Summary:
Both the Droid and the iPhone are excellent portable internet devices/mini-computers, but I give the edge to the Droid because of the better network. Droid is a much better phone, but not as good a media player. So it depends on your needs – if, like me, you’re more concerned with the phone and coverage [...]
Unbelievably, the reception/voice quality of my iPhone 3Gs was even worse than my original iPhone (2G). Even with 3 bars showing, I was unable to make or receive calls. When I switched off 3G, I was able to make and receive calls, but people sounded like they had mouths full of gravel.
How bad was it? [...]
No Internet Connection
Please check your WiFi or cellular data network and try again.
This is the message I’m getting when trying to connect to the Kindle app, Facebook app, email, etc. This is with between 2 and 5 bars in 3G mode! WTD!!! (What the devil?)
First round of iPhone 3GS. Got a call this morning that I was unable to pick up (was about to park). A couple of observations – the ringer was much louder – that’s good! I was also impressed that I was receiving a call inside a parking garage – go 3G network go! Sadly I [...]
I’ve had a 2G iPhone (calling the 1st generation “2G” is confusing but there you have it) for over 2 years and have been very happy with it – as an Internet device. As a phone, it’s always left something to be desired. Lately however it’s been driving me batty. I’m not sure if it’s [...]
