It started out as a quick joke yesterday morning. I had seen Engadget’s post that the Palm Pre could be had for just $80. Coming so soon after  the release of the Pixi (and its discounted price), it struck me that with such rapid and steep discounts the writing is more clearly on the wall than ever.

So I sent around this image…

It got the team talking.

I spent a year during college living abroad. There were four phones to which we had access and they were in a bomb shelter in the building’s basement. If we wanted to make a call we needed to first stand in line… and wait and wait. When our turn finally came we would then hold our breath and hope the call went through. It was always hit or miss.  And… tf the call did go through (“IF” not “WHEN”) it was always questionable whether or not you would be able to actually understand the person to whom you were speaking. The connection was THAT BAD.

Perhaps that was why last night’s “tech encounter of a familiar kind” made me take pause.

Have you ever thought of using your Windows Phone as a motion detector? Well, look no further! VIO, a motion detector application for Windows Mobile, is your companion. VIO uses the phone’s camera to capture and detect any motion.

• Washington Post’s Best iPhone Apps… Are They Your Favorites Too?
]]>

Most would argue that the iPhone is the best smartphone out on the market today. I have disagreed in the past, however, my perspective recently changed…

I have loved the iPhone since it first came out, but have been bothered by its lack of “advanced features”. You know the list of complaints. No copy and paste (until recently). No multitasking (still). No MMS. Multitasking specifically is a big gap in the iPhone’s capabilities in my mind.

But that all seems moot to me now.

You see, I was on a trip overseas to visit my wife’s family. Her sister wanted to get an iPhone, mainly due to the buzz about it. She had never owned anything other than a feature phone, and even those were very light on features. Watching her interact with the iPhone for the first few days really changed my perception of why the iPhone’s “simplistic” interface is one of its greatest strengths. … [visit site to read more]

Just yesterday, I was staring at the lights that are draped all over my rooftop, twirled around my trees and, depressingly, dragging on the ground, and thinking to myself, “Self, I just know those strings of lights don’t work.”  A few bulbs are probably busted, and so the whole thing won’t work.  That’s the way it is with strings o’ lights, yeah?

Well, a group of friendly midWesterners got sick of that problem and decided to do something about it.  And so they came up with a product to actually fix those strings of lights, called it LightKeeper Pro, and now you can buy it and fix your strings of lights.

It’s hard enough for developers to build apps and make money with the iPhone due to very low prices that the fierce competition has caused.  A large percentage of apps cost 99 cents, and 20% of that goes to Apple.

The saving grace is the huge number of iPhones in the market and the fairly well organized and promoted App Store.

If the idea of carrying a pad of paper, an eBook reader, and a netbook sounds like two too many things to carry, then you might be the target audience for the Android based enTourage eDGe.

The enTourage eDGe is a dual-screen, WiFi-enabled device that has optional access to 3G networks for fast and easy data transfers.  The left side of the enTourage eDGe features a 9.7” diagonal e-paper display, serving as an e-reader or notebook that comes with many built-in applications.  The enTourage eDGe allows users to read e-books in PDF and EPUB format and take notes or draw diagrams for easy storing on the device while they are top-of-mind, such as during a class or meeting.

…

The right side of the enTourage eDGe is a 10.1” LCD screen equipped with a touch screen interface to easily browse email, surf the Internet, watch movies or listen to MP3s. The enTourage eDGe supports Bluetooth® keyboards so users can conveniently type notes, emails and IMs.  These two unique screens also work together to help individuals access information faster. For example, a user can highlight a word from the e-paper screen, and drag it to a Web browser on the LCD screen to search for definitions, images and so forth. For increased access to documents, users can choose between email attachments, USB drives, direct PC drag and drop or web page download for moving files on and off the device.

The eDGe looks interesting, and I think it’s smart that enTourage already has an eBook store in place — albeit with a limited selection of current titles and steeper prices compared to the Amazon Kindle and the nook stores; time will tell if the prices get any more competitive. Of course, there are plenty of free ePub and PDF books available online as well.

The enTourage eDGe will be available in February 2010 for $490. Colors available will include piano black, midnight blue, ruby red, glacier white, and ice blue.
