Galaxy Nexus 4.0
I was surprised to see Costco heavily discount the Galaxy Nexus on introduction this week.
For once, Canadians get the phone before the USA. The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday the 4G LTE phone has no release date in the US yet.
This is the first Android 4 smart phone to market.
To put things in perspective the hot iPhone 4S is only a 3.7″ screen with 3G communications.
The Galaxy Nexus has a 4.65″ screen and uses 4G. Sorry Apple, your phone is so 2010 except for Siri.
When you check out the larger screen it’s so obvious why the iPhone has fallen behind the times. It’s tiny and hard to read. Continue reading
A reader advised us that NJN Network on her Blackberry was looking pathetic. She was right.
We made a few changes and Voila it seems to be working correctly now.
On a smartphone, this site fits withing the screen and appears different than the browser view on a computer. Continue reading

Adobe “will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations,” according to a blog posted by Danny Winokur, general manager of interactive development for Adobe.

The world isn’t going mobile. It is mobile.
Internet sites that want to increase traffic need to migrate to HTML5. It’s new and takes some effort but that’s where the market will be.
Look around and everyone is on a smart phone. They are not talking. They’re connecting with Tweeter, Facebook and StumbleUpon and surfing the web. Continue reading
The Dick Tracy wrist watch – computer and video phone - was a dream in the 60s
People like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates made it a reality.
The smartphone is just the beginning of the truly personal computer that connects us together and to the businesses we use.
It won’t matter who builds the devices – Apple, Android or Microsoft. Continue reading
The idea of an iPhone based thermostat would seem silly unless the developer was the project lead from Apple`s iPod and iPhone 3.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
The tributes to Steve Jobs the tech guru are pouring in daily.
Jobs was a petty, immature human being who died prematurely at his own hand, according to a new biography Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.
“In his last years, Steven Jobs veered from exotic diets to cutting-edge treatments as he fought the cancer that ultimately took his life, according to a new biography to be published on Monday.” New York Times. Continue reading
iPhone 3 antenna - no not again!
When you sell 4 million phones in one week there are bound to be problems.
One unhappy Future Shop customer posted this on Facebook today. “So i got the new iphone4s and its terrible!!! I don’t know what to do.

iPhone 4S
See that picture of an iPhone 4S?
For all you know it could be an iPhone 4 because they look the same.
In reality the iPhone 4S is not a new model, just a minor tweak on last year’s phone.
Despite all the media hype and peer pressure, somehow, I didn’t upgrade my iPhone 4 last week.
Buy one in memory of Steve Jobs, they said.
Right, like Steve Jobs cares if you buy one of his phones now. Continue reading
