A life of apps or lifestyle flow

This was a flow of thoughts and not meant to be a typically proper blog post.  I just want to share this video and my thoughts. I want everyone to take a few minutes and watch this video keeping in mind that there’s 2 world we could be living in in the next few years. [...]

Where are all the apps for senior care?

There’s a huge market that needs servicing and I don’t know how to harness it.  After attending CTIA last week thanks to AT&T’s kind sponsorship I got an email from Clarity a company making a unique mobile phone specifically for people with low vision and/or reduced hearing called Pal.  It’s extra loud and has big [...]

Don’t Get Scammed For Your Mobile Number, Like I Did

  I wanted to warn you all about a scam I almost fell for this morning.  I saw a bunch of friends on Facebook all had posts saying they signed up for a summer promotion from Ray-Ban to get free sunglasses.  I know it sounded too good to be true but come on, it was [...]

Do You Number Profile Customers?

I wrote the below blog post for the Phone.com blog earlier this week and I wanted to get everyones opinion on it.  Do you check someone’s Klout, Twitter numbers and posts and FB friends before you respond to them for the first time?  I get the feeling that some companies don’t respond as quickly to [...]

T-Mobile’s 1700MHz Band Is Bad For AT&T

I’ve been against this whole AT&T – T-Mobile merger from the start.  I didn’t think it was good for the many thousands of T-Mobile employees who’d lose their job.  I didn’t think it would be good for international travelers roaming in the US.  And I didn’t think it would be good for AT&T customers. That’s [...]

What’s Going On In Mobile? Not Much!

What’s going on in mobile?  It’s not a metaphoric question,  I’m serious.  Really, what’s going on?  Yes AT&T is trying to buy T-Mobile.  Yes HP murdered WebOS.  Yes the iPhone 4s came out and Google bought Motorola.  But what is going on in mobile?  Where’s the revolution?  Why aren’t consumers seeing any change? AT&T hasn’t [...]

Hey Carriers We Need New Plans With More Data And Fewer Minutes

This one is for the carriers out there that might be reading this.  If you work for a carrier send this up the pipe so the right execs can smoke it. Now to business, I’m tiered of our current mobile service plans.  I use my iPhone for everything, voice, SMS and data.  But my problem [...]

What Ever Happened To Google Latitude?

What ever happened to Latitude?  I had such high hopes for Google Latitude back in the day.  It had so much potential to be a game changer.  I was hoping to have heavy tie in to Android devices but haven’t seen it once. I loved the idea of landing in London and having all my [...]

Telco’s Should Add Boingo WiFi To Plans

I’m reasonably new to this whole iPhone business as well as new to data limitations.  Up until recently I was an Android/BlackBerry/Nokia user and had been on an unlimited data plan for as long as I can remember.  I’ve been enjoying the iPhone a great deal but I’m always concerned about going over my data allowance.  Onavo has [...]

I Need A Reason To Stick With AT&T

I need a reason to stick with AT&T right now and not switch to Verizon or Sprint.  I’m not enjoying my AT&T experience and I’m not sure why I’m sticking with AT&T at this point.  There are more options then ever in terms of service providers but what sets one apart from the next?  Only [...]
