New Tru Supremo Steve Robertson

I only recently heard the news that Steve Robertson is taking over as the new Tru CEO.  I have a long history with TruPhone as they used to be known and want to take a few words to let people know who might be reading about them for the first time who and what they are. [...]

Shorthand Mobile Offers Data On Feature Phones Via SMS

Back in the early summer somewhere near the beggining of June I was in San Diego for the Uplinq conference put on by Qualcomm.  I was introduced to Craig Braun and thought the company he works for Shorthand Mobile has something very interesting going on.  They are brining data usage to people that may not [...]

WIP Immersion Webinars Aug 29 – Sept 9

My good friends and the heros to developers around the world WIP (Wireless Industry Partnership) are stepping up their game.  They aren’t just helping the thousands of developers who can attend a WIPJam or a “Muther of all Hackathons”, they are doing 1 better and bringing knowledge to the folks who may not be able [...]

Can The BlackBerry Gmail Mobile App Run At Push Speeds?

So I’m a huge BlackBerry fan.  I have been for a while now and used a BlackBerry as my primary device until my Nexus One got Gingerbread.  In that time I’ve switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and now back to AT&T.  The bottom line is I don’t have a BB plan on my account any [...]

T-Mobile’s Acquisition By AT&T Will Be Bad For International Roamers

I was thinking this morning that if the acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T goes through it won’t only be bad for Americans for a variety of reasons.  Starting with the lack of competition.  Yes there are still 2 other companies to compete with but that’s 1 less then before and the only other GSM carrier [...]

The Muther! of all Hackathons Is Coming

In 9 days The Muther! of all Hackathons begins.  I told my good friend Teresa over at WIP that I wanted to go but unfortunately my calendar doesn’t permit, these face to face meetings are my nemesis, we should just use Skype for all meetings.  But I digress.  I wanted to be at The Muther! because WIP throws [...]

Do You Use Google Maps To It’s Fullest Potential?

I was just listening to a recent 361 Degrees podcast chat about apps and Ewan asked if I’m on the beach and want a steak how do I find it? Good question right. His answer was that he’s upset because he may have to download an app to find it.  Whether it’s an app about steaks [...]

Nokia Astound C7 Review

I was lucky enough to be chosen to go to CTIA in Orlando last month by WOMWorld/Nokia to participate in the Nokia Astound promotional tour.  The Nokia Astound by T-Mobile also known as the C7 is an interesting device.  First off let me just say that I really liked it while I had it for [...]

Google And Sprint Are New BFF’s

Is there a correlation in the fact that Sprint’s HQ is in KC and Google chose Kansas City for ultra-high speed fiber network?  Are the 2 companies delving into a sorted relationship with Android and high speed internet?  Is there a conspiracy? Now that T-Mobile USA is being purchased by AT&T Wireless Google’s Android doesn’t have a [...]

Truphone Now Supports BlackBerry

I’ve been writing about Truphone since 2007 and I suspect using it even longer.  I was called the biggest Truphone fan by Ewan MacLeod back in 2007 or 2008.  I wish I could remember when they launched but boy oh boy was it amazing back then. Fast forward 5 years (I’m guessing) and you know [...]
