I blogged like crazy about my iPhone and then I stopped. I’m sure you’re all disappointed and I’m sorry. I’ll try to keep up my iPhone obsession a bit better. I do have a couple of new thoughts about my iPhone.
The software update that came out several weeks ago really helped the [...]

Recently Google rolled out an update to it’s Picasa desktop photo management software and the corresponding Picasa Web Albums. When I heard about this I had mixed feelings for a few reasons. First of all, I’ve always liked Picasa but lately I’ve become more of a Mac user and it’s only available on [...]

Apparently I’m a sucker for cheap Bluetooth headsets. I’ve owned quite a few over the years and I’ve never been happy with them. Maybe that’s what I get for buying cheap ones. Maybe I should take the plunge and buy something expensive… and hope that it’s actually better than the others.
I’ve had [...]

I love that my iPhone has WiFi (since 3G seems to be a bunch of bull and lots of times getting connected to any part of AT&T’s network is a challenge). I also love that my iPhone is also an iPod. I don’t really care that I can buy music right from my iPhone without [...]

I previously posted about the cool remote desktop iPhone app that lets you connect to and control a Windows machine. The other day I tried to take a screen shot of it (because it seemed like a cool thing to get a screen shot of) but when I launched the app it would show the [...]

One fun thing about the iPhone is all the applications. Many of them seem fairly useless - so it’s good that a lot of them are free. When I get bored with my iPhone I surf around the app store and download some free ones to play with. As you can see, my phone is [...]

I recently noticed the VPN option on my iPhone. It took only a minute to plug in the info for our VPN at the office and my iPhone connected up with no problems. Then I cranked up a new app I had downloaded: MochaSoft’s Remote Desktop Lite. That too only took a minute to configure [...]

(I know, this is becoming an iPhone blog. Sorry.)
I splurged and got the 16GB iPhone instead of the 8GB. Still, 16GB isn’t that big. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it triggers a backup. That’s cool - it’s probably good for me to back up my phone.
It takes forever! [...]

The iPhone is a multi-media wonder. In fact, my kid suggested the other day that I had switched to the iPhone from my old CrapBerry Pearl because, “your new phone has a TV in it!” I can watch movies, listen to music, look at photos - it’s quite amazing.
That is until someone sends me a [...]

I never used an iPhone Version 1 (don’t get me stared on Apple’s poor approach to version naming anything having to do with an iPod - enough with Gen this and Gen that - why can’t they be creative and give each new version of something a clever name or just stick with something simple [...]
