Time for CTIA Spring 2012

It’s that time again, a little later then usual but it’s time for CTIA. This Spring we’re in New Orleans Louisiana and I’m very excited to be here. I’m locked and loaded with a ton of AT&T gear, they’re sponsoring my trip so there will probably be a good deal of AT&T related content but [...]

iPro Lens and Sirui P Monopod Review

I was lucky enough to meet the folks from iPro Lens at CES last January and they offered me an iPro lens to use and review.  My plan was to use it in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress and that’s exactly what I did.  Plus I’ve been using it ever since for all my photography [...]

Coachella Continues

Coachella is back. It’s not a double take, but part two of the first-ever two-weekend span for the largest music festival in the country.  AT&T has basically turned the entire space into a giant WiFi hotspot (they cover the space of 45 football fields!).  So if you are headed out for some festival action this [...]

We Need a MiFi With A Built In Wireless Router

I was just reading about a new miniature Femtocell and was thinking, you know what would be really great, a Femtocell built into a MiFi along with a traditional wireless router.  I have found myself more then once in a nice hotel that thought they were doing me a favor offering free internet if I [...]

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review

    This blog post is quite late but none the less still appropriate.  I’ve had the BlackBerry 9780 for a few months now and want to share my thoughts on it.  This isn’t going to be a traditional review like most others, I’m just going to tell you what I like and dislike about [...]

Dvir Reznik of Onavo

Hours before I was flying home from Israel recently Dvir Reznik had just flown back to Israel from Amsterdam I believe and I was anxious to meet up with him.  He is the head of marketing at Onavo, it’s one of the most likely companies I see succeeding in the next 12 months. Onavo is solving a [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Beating The High Cost of Roaming By Andy Abramson

My friend Andy Abramson just yesterday posted “Staying Connected- Beating The High Cost of Roaming http://ow.ly/18lHO6“.  I wanted to bring any attention I could to his article because it highlights one of my favorite companies, Truphone.  I’ve been an advocate of theirs for many years now have enjoyed their service for as long as it’s been [...]

VoIP on iPhone via Phone.com great for cutting roaming rates

Are you a business traveler who likes to save a few dollars on roaming fees?  I definitely am.  I’m a self employed consultant who pays all my own bills.  I personally hate paying roaming fees to AT&T. A few months ago I was asked to review a mobile app for Phone.com, nothing unusual there, this [...]
