Updating the Samsung Moment’s software. Egads…and this is why Apple continues to be successful. They just make things easy to do. I bring this up as I had just finished updating the software for my Android phone.
First, some background. I’ve got a Samsung Moment running on Sprint’s network. Love it! Love Sprint’s network, love the [...]

By now you’ve probably heard of Google Android even if you aren’t some alpha geek. Have you sat down and thought much about it? It’s just a minor player, isn’t it? How can it compete with the iPhone, with the Symbian-based phones (Nokia) of the world, with Palm (especially with the release of the Palm [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the rumor of T-Mobile looking into gobbling up Sprint. It’s certainly an interesting though…number four in the US buying up number three.

So let’s think about this. The iPhone [...]

Rumor has it that Barnes & Noble is working with Sprint Nextel and an unnamed device maker to offer eBook services similar to the Amazon Kindle. Hm…interesting.
