Commentary: How Big of a Problem is the iPhone 4 Antenna?
The very first day that I had my iPhone 4, I was very excited. I called a friend of mine while I was out picking up dinner, and he says to me, “Is it worth it?” Then the call dropped. Now there are a multitude of reasons why this could have happened. I could have […]
iPad 3G Class Action Lawsuit Expanded
I bought an iPad Wi-Fi+3G model for one reason: road trips. My logic was that if I needed to use an internet connection on the road for my laptop, that most times I could get away with using the 3G in the iPad instead. For $30, I’d have unlimited data, and that was cheaper than […]
Apple Has Sold Even More iPads
When the Unicorn Tablet was first released, many people said that it just wasn’t going to sell. Just 21 days ago, I said that apparently, everyone either wants or has an iPad.

The Verizon Mi-Fi – For When AT&T Doesn’t Cut It
I love my iPhone. But the fact remains that it doesn’t have one of the features that was promised to me a long time ago, which would make my life much easier – tethering. My travel schedule varies, but when I am on the road, I’d like to use my iPad/MacBook Pro as well. That […]
The iPad and my Mom – One Week Later

Productivity Killer: Marvel Comics on the iPad
My life’s hobbies have come in phases. I started with Legos, and obsessed over them for years. Then I sold all of my Legos in a mammoth garage sale, and started my comic collection. For the next few years – until I moved on to the next hobby, cars – I lived in the world […]
The iPad Wi-Fi+3G Purchase
Well, it’s official. I have an iPad. Now here’s how I got it: After much deliberation, I decided that I couldn’t wait. I chose option No. 1 in my list of three methods to wait for the iPad, I wanted to get to the store at around 3 pm, but my wife had the car […]
AT&T Data Plans for the iPad Released – Again
Getting an iPad Wi-Fi+3G today? Hopefully I am too, but with it, comes a future with AT&T. Sure, I’ve already connected up with AT&T via my iPhone, but I – like many people – hope that a Verizon iPhone is coming out on June 7th. Apple announced the deets for the AT&T iPad plan back […]
Pulling the Trigger
Well, after much deliberating, and a few discussions with the wifey, and a whole lot of grain alcohol, it looks like we’re going to plunk down some money on an iPad. I think the fact that it might be a business expense was really the tipping point here, but who knows. Anyways, now comes the […]
