Comment - Verizon touts Android's superiority over iPhone
(Oct 19, 2009 - 4:21 PM)

Android has come a long way since G1 and it continues to evolve and improve. My wife has an iPhone 3Gs and I have a myTouch 3G. The thing that strikes me as that Apple has really banked on the apps to push the OS. I have all sorts of cool widgets on my desktop so I don't have to open apps to see my Todo and calendar and phone numbers and weather and everything else.

Apple certainly has made an excellent product but I believe Android will quickly pass Apple unless they stop relying on third party developers as their advantage and start to stick a little more innovation in the OS.
Comment - Android 'Donut' SDK released: What's new inside
(Sep 16, 2009 - 11:38 AM)

The iPhone is a brilliant device but I believe strongly that Android will eventually overtake it simply because of its open architecture and he number of hardware vendors supporting it. While Apple is a terrific company and truly revolutionized this platform, they also rule with an iron fist. Being locked into AT&T strangles the competitive field for them. Many people I know are tired of being locked into Apple decisions and a single source for everything.
Comment - Palm Pre: Rounding up (or down) the reviews
(Jun 4, 2009 - 3:35 PM)

I am not certain the battery use is as big an issue as it is presented. The touchstone allows you to keep it charged with no connectivity and we still do not know what is killing the battery. Maybe they have WiFi, Bluetooth and the GPS all enabled at the same time. It may only take a couple quick tweaks to make this issue go away.

Personally, I am not ready to declare the iPhone a victor until the Pre has actually entered the ring.
Comment - Palm's game-changing Pre arrives June 6
(May 19, 2009 - 12:01 PM)

I have used a Palm since the first device and I will certainly be getting the Pre. I am torn on whether to dump T-Mobile which I have had for 10 years without issue and jump to Sprint. I am out of country until late July and will have to wait and see what comes of the release and how far out GSM is going to be.

Personally, I have never seen anything attractive about the iPhone. The fact the device cannot run background apps to me is a deal breaker.
Comment - High resolution satellite images offer up-close view of North Korean missile site
(Apr 1, 2009 - 2:25 AM)

I just am stunned that Satellite images of an enemy's military facility can be so easily obtained and posted. The resolution and its overall quality are also somewhat impressive considering this was shot hundreds of miles above the earth's surface. As someone who lived through the Cold War, it is a brain s*** to see the sense of entitlement to intelligence and public data.

Personally, I think it is AWESOME but it still shocks the hell out of me. Ok...now sign me up for the live HD feed of an F-22 Raptor in a dog fight.
