Bobbing for iPhone Apps: 15 Worth Sinking Your Teeth Into

By Reggie · September 17, 2008 · 2 Comments 

I’ve been using the iPhone now for about 2 months. I’ve downloaded several different iPhone applications-some good, some bad. Here is a list of applications I find useful at this time. Please share your favorite iPhone app and tell us why it’s useful in your daily life.

Utilities

1.  DeliciousSafari – I absolutely love this application as it helps me quickly and easily access my del.icio.us books marks wherever I go.

Business

2.  vCard Mailer – This application let’s you send vCards to recipients. To receive the vCard, recipients need a device that can receive email and recognize the vCard format.

3. Remote Desktop Lite – Do you run Windows XP? Do you want access to your desktop while your remote? If you answered yes to both questions you need to try MochaSoft’s Remote Desktop Lite. It provides secure access to your XP computer using the iPhone. You can see everything as though you were sitting at your PC…just much smaller.

4. Home Finder – Alexander Mobile uses sources like Google Base, Craigslist and Trulia to return area homes. Also share results via email.

Blackberry vs. iPhone: One Technoman’s Experience

By Reggie · August 7, 2008 · 18 Comments 

Blackberry vs. iPhone: Choose Your TechnologyIt may go with saying that I’m one of those individuals who waited outside AT&T for my new iPhone. But this was not just a simple switch from one technology to another.  My Blackberry has been a godsend over the years. I truly loved the mobile device. Email and calendar couldn’t have been easier. The device had always been stable.  But what was it that made me want to switch? Before I answer that, let me back peddle a bit!

Luckily NikNik got the iPhone at the same time!

Luckily for me, NikNik and I got our phones at the same time.  Although mine had terrible reception from the start.  But the issue was strange; I would go from 5 bars to no service very quickly.  When I compared it with NikNik’s, the difference was night and day. Her iPhone had great reception.  I immediately went to AT&T to let them know that I had a defective phone. However the salesman at the counter told me it was a bad SIM card. So he added a new SIM card and sent me off on my way. Within 5 minutes I knew my iPhone was not fixed. I still had “NO SERVICE!”  So now I’m back at AT&T for the 3rd time in as many days so we could take a closer look at my iPhone reception problems. This time the sales associate tells me that Read full story

Real Estate Agents with Verizon: It’s Time to Upgrade

By Chad A. Johnson · July 3, 2007 · 8 Comments 

Up until now, all of the cool, new Blackberry smartphones that we have covered (Real Estate Agents Catch the Curve and The New Blackberry 8800: Not Just For Work) have only been available from AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular). As with the recent iPhone release, it seems that AT&T prides itself on offering the latest new phones first. Fortunately for real estate agents on the Verizon Wireless network, the next generation of Blackberry device is now available.

For you technology savvy real estate agents, the Blackberry 8830 World Edition is Verizon’s first Blackberry device to offer the new trackball navigation, brilliant screen and multimedia functionality. Based on the now 3 month old Blackberry 8800 model, the 8830 will appear virtually identical except for the device’s silver enclosure. The only real difference between the 2 models is that of the 8830’s more advanced network capability. As the “World Edition” moniker would imply, Blackberry 8830 can be used overseas. The 8830 can also access the Verizon EV-DO network, giving the Blackberry 8830 faster web browsing than that of the Blackberry 8800 which is limited to Cingular’s EDGE network.

While the new Blackberry 8830 World Edition doesn’t have the ultra compact size or 2.0 megapixel camera of the Blackberry Curve, it is still an outstanding smartphone device. It is also surprising to see Verizon offer the new Blackberry device so quickly after AT&T introduced is sister device, the Blackberry 8800. It took then over a year and a half to follow-up AT&T’s (Cingular’s) Blackberry 8700 with their own Blackberry 8703e. By the time Verizon customers had that device, it seemed out of date.
