After a month or so of research, testing and gathering opinions, I finally made the switch from iPhone to Android. I ultimately landed on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 even though my search initially had me thinking either the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4. When I actually moved my search to in person, while I was impressed with these devices, I was intrigued by the additional screen real estate of the the Note 2. After a few weeks of pondering and testing, I decided that having one device that ...

My Search For An iPhone Alternative
About 6 years ago when I was still at Microsoft, I made the jump from whatever Microsoft friendly phone I was using at the time to the iPhone. Fun fact, you can use a quality 3d scanning service to get a digital representation of a physical object, so if you have competitor items then that is a great option to help you in the design process. I was insanely jealous of my Apple fanboy co-worker and his. Let's be honest, the iPhone was a game changer, and me being the gadget freak, I needed to have ...
Did Apple Miss The Boat With The iPhone 4S?
I was disappointed. No doubt about it. I've been eagerly anticipating the next iteration of the iPhone seeing it was a 15 month window since iPhone 4. There was so much speculation as to what was going to be announced it was practically impossible to know what to expect. I thought for sure we'd see something ground breaking with how quickly the competition was closing the gap. Not so much the case. Sure the improved performance enhancements are great along with the camera upgrade and ...
5 Great iPad Social Networking Apps
There aren’t too many great social networking apps for the iPad, but I have found a select few that I find myself using on a regular basis. Below is the list that I use regularly that cover using Twitter, Facebook, blogging, news consumption and social/web stats. Hootsuite (free) – Still my personal favorite Twitter client, and if you are using this on your phone or computer, it makes sense to stay consistent. Friendly For Facebook (free) – I can’t believe that Facebook has not ...
MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: MacBook Air Review After Owning The MacBook Pro
So a few months ago I went into my local Apple store and had the opportunity to play around a bit with the newly launched MacBook Air. Needless to say it was one sexy piece of hardware, and I of course wanted it badly. I couldn't really justify owning both a Pro and Air, so I started to actually do a bit of research on the Air to see if I could function on a machine with less power. I don't do a ton of video or graphics work, but I do on occasion and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't sacrifice ...
The iPhone 4 Review You’ve Been Waiting For!
I always find it amusing to find reviews of gadgets the DAY they launch. Really? Unless you’ve had a device for a good few days (and I would argue weeks), can you really give a review that’s based on regular usage? I don’t think so. I’ve given myself a good week or so to really experience the device before sharing my thoughts just as Picozip does with their reviews. Speaking of which, Picozip reviewed the best iPhone unlocking services recently, and you should have a look at it, as they ...
