One of my big complaints about cell phones and mobile devices generally is that the batteries are never able to adequately handle all of the advanced features which tend to be included. The Palm Pre is a perfect example of this, with its WebOS interface, and always connected email (not to mention Internet, Wifi, 3G, [...]

Review: Novatel Mifi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot

Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 30: Yelp
When I started this series, my hope had been to tackle all of the apps in the Palm Pre App Catalog before its official launch, later this month. But the developers turned out to be too fast for me. In the month since I started this series, the App Catalog has grown from 30 apps [...]
Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 29: Express Stocks
I have to admit that I have never been one to dabble to deep in the stock market. Most of my money is in IRAs or index based funds. Plus, I rarely want to have the values too close, because looking at how much money I am constantly losing can get a bit depressing these [...]
Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 28: Word Ace
Let’s just get this out of the way quickly. Word Ace is my new favorite game, and is the best game currently available for the Palm Pre. OK…I know saying that any game is better than other games on the Palm Pre may not be much of a compliment…but this really is a fantastic game.

Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 25: Today Show
Let’s have a show of hands. How many of you watch the Today Show in the morning. It is pretty hard to miss, since it is about five hours long, yet I manage to do so since I leave the house before 6:00 each morning. So, I rarely get to watch the show upon which [...]
Review: Cyfi Wireless Sports Speaker
Imagine a speaker that can go anywhere, play anything, and do it all without wires. Now, give it a fun shape and some wireless controls. There you go, now you have the Cyfi, which is a fantastic portable wireless speaker. This is exactly what I need for activities like camping, hiking, or even just sitting [...]
Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 24: Match.com
I am pretty happily married, and have been since before dating sites like Match.com became all the rage. So, needless to say, I do not have an account at Match.com or any other similar sites. That being said, I can certainly see the value they might offer the modern connected single. In fact, my sister-in-law [...]

Ever since I graduated from college with a degree in Journalism, I have tried to keep track of which newspapers have the best writing.
