Google: Great Job. T-Mo, You Fail.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

There’s a lot to like about the G1. Really. Additionally, there’s going to BE a lot to like about the G1, once the open source jedis get their mitts on it and write apps.

But T-Mobile just killed the buzz in one sentence:

Data: If your total data usage in any billing cycle is more than 1GB, your data throughput for the remainder of that cycle may be reduced to 50 kbps or less.

Hi, we’re T-Mobile, and we’re upgrading to 3G! YEAH. And this new phone that you’ve been waiting for? It’s 3G! DOUBLE YEAH! It’s gonna be like driving on the Autobahn….
…except, if you go over 100 mph more than ten times in a month, we’ll cut you down to being in the slow lane behind the little old lady in the Caprice Classic with the left turn signal blinking for the last 50 miles.

Seems to me that T-Mo made a bad decision to have a 3g iphone competitor in time for the holidays, but no 3g Network to back it up. But folks that buy this phone are going to want to USE THE TUBES. So, how fast does it take to get 1gb on a 3g phone?

T-Mobile to Sell Android ‘Dream’ Phone Sept. 23?

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Today @ PC World T-Mobile to Sell Android ‘Dream’ Phone Sept. 23?.

Oh, I can’t wait to play with this one…I want to see what this does.  Despite my earlier comment saying that the winning Apps from the contest were all weak sauce, I don’t expect that it will stay that way.

This will likely be my next phone, and….it will be 3G!  YAY!

I *might* use TuneWiki.  

First blush, I have to say that this is really weak sauce.  There’s no killer app here.  So what makes me buy this when it comes out next month, allegedly?

Microsoft’s response to Google Chrome? SharePoint

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Featured links from the CNET Blog Network

Microsoft’s response to Google Chrome? SharePoint–Microsoft is actually way ahead of Google when it comes to shifting the battle from the desktop to the cloud. Microsoft’s ace is called SharePoint.

Five quick-and-simple Microsoft Word timesavers–Convert lists into outlines, save multiple open documents at once, reorder paragraphs, paste formatting, and return the cursor to where you left it when reopening a document.

Favorite albums for each year since my birth–Following up on last week’s post about ’80s music, here are my favorite records for every year since 1969.
