Thumbnail image for Motorcycling with the iPad – Better than a laptop or notebook for certain

I’ve been quiet on my iPad observations. Fact is I’ve just been enjoying it. Perhaps so much that I’ve even overheated it. There is no question it is a powerful multi-media consumption device. I much prefer it for reading, over both my iPhone and my laptop. Something tactile and satisfying about scrolling and turning pages [...]

November 11, 2009

Just imagine you woke up in 2015. What would you be doing?

August 27, 2009

I’m curious. Are you ready to contribute your mobile to the common good? Would you participate in surveys on an ongoing basis? If we made it easy? Would you join a panel?

A Little Venting about Comcast

January 14, 2009

I am just peeved with Comcast. It’s simple – I rely on my internet connection and when it doesn’t work it is crippling. So this will be a short and sweet summary. It is effectively my feedback. Comcast is like PG&E, AT&T etc. I expect these things to work without fail. I can accept when [...]

Truphone Gets an Upgrade – Dial and Save

May 28, 2008

Truphone moved one step further forward today with a major upgrade that effectively puts Jajah Direct type capabilities onto the mobile without you having to remember all those local numbers.
