    Mini-Review: 10 Hours with the BlackBerry Storm

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry Storm

    I've had my BlackBerry Storm review loaner for about 10 hours now.  I've spent that time unboxing it, typing on it, browsing the Web, searching for GPS-enabled directions, and watching video on it.  I also had to take care of a few other things during those 10 hours, so I actually haven't been able to pound on Storm quite as much as I'd like to have.  But the embargo is lifting and you're anxious to know what I think of the...

    Culture shock: a glimpse into the Southeast Asian mobile market

    The mobile market of Thailand

    My wife is Thai, and we talk about the differences between our native cultures on a semi-regular basis. Of the many subtle nuances that distinguish and characterize our social and professional habits, I think I've underestimated the role of mobile communications. Her unique perspective on phones reveals the seemingly insignificant details that actually make up our daily lives. I have never fully explored all of Mrs. Walton's comments...

    Obama to ban his smartphone

    It looks like Barack Obama, president-elect and renowned "CrackBerry" enthusiast, may soon have to give up his cellular addiction.   According to GeekSugar, Obama's beloved Curve won't be going to the White House, as security concerns regarding e-mail will likely keep the handheld at bay. Maybe it's not such a bad idea, considering the fiasco that ensued when someone broke into Sarah Palin's email account a few months ago. And she was...

    Forget what you heard: Apple (probably) not going into search market

    Is Apple going into search?

    Tongues have been wagging recently, and bloggers big and small were all over the rumor that Steve Jobs was interested in developing an Apple search engine. Now it turns out the rumors were greatly exaggerated. The grapevine—which includes TechCrunch and PC World—was buzzing about Apple's dissatisfaction with the user experience of Google's search engine, which was integrated directly into the Safari browser and iPhone. It made a lot of sense to...

Although Photobucket has had an iPhone application for a while, Verizon is the first US carrier to provide the Photobucket Mobile Uploader. The program will...
