Ode to the Palm Centro
February 6, 2010 by Tracey Duncan
Filed under Palm

It was only a few short weeks ago that I caved in to iPhone pressure and bought the damn thing, and don’t get me wrong, I love it, and I’m happy I switched. But I do have a soft spot in my hear for my old phone, the happy-go-lucky little Palm Centro. It’s significantly smaller than the iPhone, and less clunky, particularly when you factor in the Otter casing I’ve got going on. It also has a lot of other things going for it.
Like the keyboard with actual buttons, that was kind of nice, although I am getting used to …read more
The App I’m Addicted To: Words with Friends

Filed under Apps, iPhone

Even though I’m a writer and, generally speaking, make a living being good with words, I’m not very good at word games. Scrabble, in particular, I’m really not good at. Like, embarrassingly bad. But I like playing, anyhow. I guess I take some pleasure in humiliating myself. Anyways, the point is that I totally addicted to Words for Friends because it’s exactly the same thing as Scrabble, only in portable e-form? Because it’s awesome. Look.
Words with Friends is basically Scrabble x Text Messaging, and those, my friends, are two great tastes that taste great together. And it’s a free App, …read more
2Do Lite App for iPhone

If you’ve got too many things to do, you are going to find about a million apps that will supposedly help your productivity. Seriously, though, if people spent less time using productivity programs, maybe they’d be more productive. Call me crazy. Anyways, when I was looking for a really simple to-do list type app for my shiny new iPhone, I realized just how insanely overburdened this market is. I also learned that a lot of to-do apps cost up to $9.99, which I think is insane. Then I found 2Do Lite, and so far, I am really digging it.
The best …read more

Hey, wouldn’t it would be great if as you were leaving your office you could just move the files you’ve been working on over to your phone so you could continue working on the subway? Well, guess what? There’s an App for that. Obviously. It’s called Airsharing, and I think it might be genius.
AirSharing allows you to connect to your computer via WiFi or with a cable to move files from one place to the other. Who needs a thumb drive when you’ve got an iPhone? I haven’t gotten a chance to use this baby, yet, but it won an …read more
Dead Phone Problem Solved with ACMs?

Filed under Cell phone, Samsung

I love my iPhone. I feel like it’s a really good friend that will never leave me. Except when it dies, which is often, because I text, Twitter, and Facebook like it’s going out of style. So, what then? What is the solution when you are out hanging and your best friend just goes totally blank? Automated Charging Machines (ACMs for short)!
Paul King, owner of Hercules Networks is putting these pay-by-the-charge machines on a street corner near you. He got the idea when he missed a flight due to a dead cell phone related disaster, and found a company in …read more
Bump App for iPhone

Filed under 3G, Apple, Apps, iPhone

The Bump app for iPhone struck me as totally genius when I heard about it. I mean, transferring all of your contact information to someone simply by rubbing your phone against theirs seems totally future perfect, right? Right. If only it were that simple.
I mean, the Bump interface is actually quite straightforward. Once your figure out that the “contact” the app is initially looking for is you, it’s really easy to input your information. And if your friend has Bump on their iPhone, it’s really easy to transfer that information. The problem is that something seems to happen in that …read more
Conflicting Studies on Drivin’ ‘n Talkin’

Filed under Cell Phone Laws

Just admit it. You do it. Sometimes. No matter what state you live in, at least once in a while you pick up the phone while you’re driving or return that text right quick at the stoplight. Because the girl on the other end of the line is hot enough that the thought of car accidents is pushed back to a far dusty corner of your mind. Because you’re human, and when someone talks to you, you want to talk back.
Studies done by the National Safety Council in the past few years have shown that cell phone use while driving …read more
Sony Ericsson Releases the Vivaz

Sony Ericsson’s new smartphone is ergonomic, HD, and has a full touch screen, and is meant to be a major threat to the iPhone 3Gs. It’s a damn sexy looking little beast, so it might just make a good go of it.
Sony Ericsson used something call human curvature analysis to make a phone that interacts with your body in an easy, intuitive way. I can’t really speak to how effective they were, as I haven’t held the thing myself. It’s set to be released in the first quarter of 2010 on AT&T.
They’re really taking this whole ergonomics thing to a …read more
Pano for iPhone

Filed under 3G, Apps, iPhone

I am seriously in love with this app. Maybe taking panoramic pictures doesn’t really seem like a big deal, but the results are amazing. Pano lets you merge up to sixteen photographs to make one long one. This is handy if you are someplace lovely, like this:
But it even makes ordinary places like downtown Baton Rouge look good.
It’s a little hard to see the impressiveness of the imagery when the pictures are so small, I know. Such are the limits of our blog width, I’m afraid. You’ll just have to check out the Pano website to see some pictures in …read more
