Gene's problem is that he thinks he can extrapolate sales numbers by standing in a flagship store like Apple's 5th Avenue store and then projecting those out to some kind of national sales figure. I don't know off-hand how accurate he's been with o…

I got one of these for about $260 off of Amazon a few weeks ago (they've raised the price to $292 right now). It took the T-Mobile signal in my house from zero bars and no connection at all to 4 full bars (max on my Nexus One phone) and excellent…

I honestly can't imagine living on Mint.com or similar. I have over 23 years of data in Quicken at my "fingertips". Maybe I don't really need it, but I've used the ability search for a purchase years ago frequently. I hate that I have to have V…

Now I know what all that wailing and gnashing of teeth I heard earlier today was - the Verizon zealots crying over not getting the iPhone on their beloved network in a few months as they hoped/wished/expected. Sarcasm aside, that's too bad...more…

That new screen bezel looks to make the iPhone 4G have about the same screen size as a Nexus One (3.7"). I was hoping to get a 4.2 or 4.3 out of Apple next, since some of the Android device makers are rumored to be working on devices with that size.
