The HTC Imagio is a great phone. There. I’ve said it. Now I’ll tell you why. In the tradition of techies everywhere, I’ll do so by making a list. There are three significant features making the Imagio a quality phone: Microsoft (Microsoft?! …Yes, it’s true, but keep reading), the HTC hardware and Verizon: Microsoft (and […]

Verizon Wireless has a feature on their cellphones that sounds very cool: while listening to music, you can let your cellphone listen for a few seconds, after which it will identify the song, artist and album. The full name of the application is “Verizon V CAST Song ID”. It’s a free application from Verizon that […]

The BlackBerry Tour is a “world phone” from Verizon Wireless, giving users the ability to make voice calls in over 220 countries and get email and Internet in 175 countries. That’s a lot of places to visit. BlackBerry Tour features Physically, the BlackBerry Tour looks a lot like the BlackBerry Curve. Under the metaphorical hood, […]

Specifically, that’s what the Alias 2 uses for its keyboard. Technically, the keyboard is “virtual” – the phone’s buttons can change depending on what […]

The LG Versa is a slick phone with common features implemented in a fairly unique way, and some unique features implemented very well. In some phones, this comes across as forced, or making the user tolerate certain features in order to use the device. With the Versa, I experienced no such problems. I didn’t have […]

[Thanks to Howard Paul for his contributions to this review of the Roku.] If you’re a Netflix subscriber, you may have used the “Instant Queue”: instead of waiting for a movie to be shipped to your house, you can instead watch it streaming on your PC. No waiting. You can get videos, television and movies […]

BrainWave Generator software review: Boost your energy the old-fashioned way

My usual morning routine is to lurch out of bed, barely-awake, staring around confused as I try to figure out where and who I am. Though this method works well, I’ve had an enlightening experience: One day, immediately upon waking, I drank a can of pop. Ah, my sweet friend caffeine. I’m used to drinking […]
