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 [...]

After watching them release weak update after weak update, I wasn’t sure what to expect out of their next phone. I’m more than pleased with what I see so far and am willing to stick with Sprint [...]

So it’s official, Walmart and Sam’s Club will be selling the Apple iPhone. Yes, I know I’m a little late to the game but maybe some of you haven’t heard the news yet. So here I am…keeping my readers informed.
Anyway, a few days ago it was confirmed that select Walmart and Sam’s Club stores will [...]
