Will a Black Eye from Consumer Reports Hurt AT&T, iPhone?

The CR report on Cell Phones is bogus.

The statistics behind the report really suggest that the networks are more alike. Big deal - 7/10 Verzion vs 6.5 ATT like their service.

CR is going to go the way of the Dodo bird, with their old fashioned ideas and backwards mentality (I realized that years ago when they told readers to resist the switch from the old round 5" and 7" headlights on cars!)

Android and Apple: Smartphones Require Smart Strategy

One word to counter claim of expected Android market takeover:

Apple's iPhone vs. RIM's BlackBerry: Who Wins on Comparison?

I have to disagree with the author:

1. iPhone is a great phone for talking and phenomenal for conferencing.

2. ATT has been better than Verizon for me - signal everywhere and no limitation on combined voice/data with ATT

3. Battery life has be fine. Never gone dead yet.

4. iPhone keyboard is fast - I tied a Crackberry addict (boy, was she pissed!)

5. Mail on the iPhone is fantastic - I have a gmail account which allows push along with immediate OTA calendar synchronization.

Can Apple Stop the Android?

Couple of probable bumps in the road to keep an eye on:

1. Multi-tasking: There has been a lot of hype about multi-tasking with Android. Verizon's CDMA network does not allow simultaneous Voice and Data - so multi-tasking is in the toilet. Pundits state that the iPhone doesn't multi-task but why can I talk on the phone, get email, surf the web, play multi-player games, use Maps, etc - all simultaneously. So to me, the iPhone clearly trumps Verizon's Android in this area.

2. Verizon's CDMA network has yet to be tested with a high bandwidth hog like the Android. ATT's network has suffered partly due to the fact that iPhone users actually use their device (while Verizon's devices have been crippled to death to reduce data usage (as the Android is, as noted above). CDMA really has a problem when multiple devices are 'on the same tower' and expect to see cracks in the Verizon 'emperor with no clothes' network!

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

With 3 studies out suggesting Zetia is worthless, we still have some cardiologist clutching to this drug for dear life. Wonder why?

Not Everyone in China Wants to Buy an iPhone

Wonder if there is a lot of smoke and mirrors here?

Is Apple's Stock Headed for a Reversal?

ATT's network has been unfairly getting a bad rap.

I switched from Verizon to ATT and have been completely satisfied with ATT.

Actually, ATT's network is better than Verizon as it allows simultaneous voice and data, something you can not do with Verzions antiquated CDMA network (to be replaced by LTE in a few years)!

Not Everyone Likes Windows 7

Mac underpowered? They now run basically the same hardware as most modern PC's.

Also, why be a Windows masochist? Just bite the bullet and get a Mac. I am tired of people complaining about Windows but too wimpy to get a Mac.

Blackberry’s 26 Advantages over iPhone

Many of the 25 points are nit picking and none address the slick iPhone interface, App-store advantage and overall experience of using an iPhone vs. any other device.

The Only Person Who Can Prevent the FTC's Google / Apple Colonoscopy

That is a ridiculous amount of money. I would do it for a mere $100,000

My New iPhone 3GS: Beyond Awesome

I don't understand the problems people have with ATT. I had Verzion beforehand and now ATT and have not had any problems, both in rural and in metropolitan areas.

Can AT&T Handle the iPhone?

I have not had any problems with ATT. Verizon, my prior carrier, was no better (and had worse customer service than ATT).

I think ATT has become the (undeserved ) whipping boy of the wireless industry.

Apple Bars Palm from iTunes: Is Pre a Threat?

If Apple continued to let the Palm Pre access iTunes they would be soon dealing with lawsuits for various and sundry complaints.

Unfortunately, our crazy legal system requires companies to take these actions.

AT&T: The iPhone's Achilles' Heel

ATT is NOT as BAD as the press and blog world would have you think!

I am a previous VZW customer and found ATT to be just as good if not better.

Does Verizon Really Need the iPhone?

I think ATT is getting a bum rap. I rarely have problems with ATT, certainly no more than I did when I had Verizon.

Unfortunate for ATT but they are the current popular whipping boy.
