Yep, that’s it, I’ve officially had enough - gone are the days of PC hang ups, network freezes, and devices taking a coffee break whilst I grind my teeth (literally)…
What am I talking about? I am talking about my wholesale defection over to Apple – and as far as I am concerned, all things good!
Over the next few months, I’ll be:
- Changing my wireless access point to an Airport Extreme 802.11n
- Moving from Series60 over to iPhone
- Rolling out Apple TV at home
- Purchasing the new MacBook Pro
But why would I do all these things? Well, it’s a combined and growing frustration with many things Windows, but also many crippled, or frankly rubbish, mobile technologies. Without going in to too many specifics, I’ve had enough of operating systems hanging for no good reason, for devices locking up and rebooting, and also from wireless network attachment issues.
I’ve been quietly sampling the various networking, computing, and mobile offerings from Apple over the last few months, and my conclusion – they just work. Might not seem very significant, but my life is genuinely VERY busy – my day is typically 0600-2300, of which about 95% is work-related. I just don’t have the time for the devices in my life to crash/hang/reboot, and so Apple is getting the big chance now.
I’ll be posting up about my experiences, starting with the following post about Wireless Access Points – come with me on a magical mystery tour installation-fest, and see what I root up as goood things, bad things, and… if they happen…. downright frustrating things!
(Note: I won’t be pulling my hair out – as I don’t really have enough to either (a) reach or (b) pull)

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
