Who else wants a 7-inch Asus Transformer Prime?
Everyone loves Asus’ Transformer Prime these days and there’s nothing strange about it. After all, it’s the world’s first (and still the only) tablet powered by a quad-core processor that also comes with that ever-handy keyboard dock. And while I love it too, I think I would love a 7-inch version even more. The reason is obvious – smaller tablets are easier to carry around and that should be the idea here — to leave your bigger laptop at home and carry around a tablet. I know what you think … Read more

Idea: Sony should make an Android-based Sony Vaio P smartbook
This isn’t the first time I’m writing about this topic, though my earlier post was dedicated to Sony Ericsson. Now that Sony is running the show it should do something about it – get us the Android-powered Vaio P-like smartbook. Aside from the cool mini-laptop form factor, I would also like to have that screen detachable. However that’s not a must-have but a nice-to-have feature. Simply put – I need some easy to carry around device with full QWERTY keyboard for managing my email and writing. In that sense (considering … Read more

5 reasons why a smartphone is better than a girlfriend
Last night I had a big fight with my girlfriend and I’m still pretty pissed. So what can a mobile tech blogger do about it – write a post to channel his frustrations. And voila… here it is, outlining 5 reasons why his smartphone is better than his girlfriend. Now before you go through the end of the (short) list, let me politely ask you to act decently when commenting. On the other hand, if you think I’ve missed some reason, don’t hesitate to let me know. I love my … Read more

Which smartphone is best
If I had a penny every time someone asked me this question I would be a rich man by now. Here I’ll try to explain the basics, without being too specific. First of all – select your platform There are 3 major platforms to choose from – iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Personally, I own an Android smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S II) and I like it very much. However, I know Apple fans can’t stand owning any other device except the iPhone. There are good reasons why Apple is moving … Read more

Idea: Amazon should adopt webOS, second take
In June I talked about two reasons why HP and Amazon should team-up to drive webOS forward. Now that webOS is an open-source project, I decided to re-think the idea and simply put – I like it even more today. The two reasons In mentioned in June were: Amazon Appstore – there’s no good reason to offer Android apps only HP could help Amazon make webOS-based Kindle While the first reason is still valid, the second one needs rethinking. Perhaps HP could be willing to help Amazon some hardware-based effort, … Read more

Do you like the Dell Venue Pro form factor?
If you recall I used to argue that the perfect device would be something like the Samsung Galaxy S II with side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. I’ve been thinking about that recently and figured out I was wrong. The perfect device should have a vertical sliding keyboard, making for a smartphone that looks pretty much like the Dell Venue Pro (with Android OS – as far as I’m concerned). If you’ve been using phones with physical keyboards, you probably noticed you type faster if the keys are narrower. It seems awkward but … Read more

Top failures of 2011
As the year comes to an end, we decided to wrap up with several “top 2011″ posts. Today we’re presenting you with top failures of the year. In no particular order, here are the entrants for the infamous “Top failures of 2011″ list: webOS We’re sorry to see HP failing to meet expectations. They were super bullish when they acquired Palm, with the idea to mimic Apple’s iPhone success. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we had a chance to play with the Palm/HP Veer, Pre 3 and the … Read more

Motorola Milestone 4 launching at MWC?
Before you go – “seriously?”, please note that we DON’T have any inside information – it’s just me speculating. Second, now that the DROID 4 is almost officially announced, it’s only natural Motorola will be looking for the rest of the world (outside of the U.S.) to get even more sales. And since “DROID” phones are Verizon’s thing, they’ll use some other name (Milestone) for the international version of the device. That said, we expect to see the Motorola Milestone 4 announced from the floor of the upcoming Mobile World … Read more

iPhone LTE is the name of the next iPhone!
I’ve been thinking what will be the name of the next iPhone and I think I figured it out – iPhone LTE. I don’t have any inside knowledge of the matter but that makes perfect sense when you think about it. Here are two main reasons: iPhone 5 wouldn’t be the 5th smartphone from Apple — there was the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S — but 6th, so that number doesn’t make much sense. iPhone 4G is too basic and also somewhat confusing when … Read more

iPhone 2 – what’s that all about?
Again and again I respond to questions my friends have about mobile technology. One of them is “what is the iPhone 2?”. That’s somewhat tricky. On one hand, you could think that’s the original iPhone which didn’t support 3G connectivity. In that sense some folks referred to it as iPhone 2G, hinting it’s different than the iPhone 3G. On the other hand, iPhone 3G is the second smartphone announced by Apple and that makes it iPhone 2. However, the best answer is – forget about it. There’s no such thing … Read more

The iPhone – a device we all dream about
You’ve probably already heard this before – iPhone 4S hasn’t met our expectations (and expectations of many other bloggers for that matter), despite the success Apple and its carrier partners are experiencing as we speak. The problem is on our side – simply put, we’ve set the bar so high, and we “forgot” Apple’s way of doing things. That “way” goes like this – release a major product update one year (iPhone 3G or iPhone 4) and then (slightly) update it next year (iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4S). The iPhone … Read more
