Get Detailed Phone Specs at PhoneScoop

Jason Bean — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:19:45 +0000

As I was writing a post in computers on EveryJoe about gadget device size, I uncovered this handy site with loads of phone specs at PhoneScoop.com. It’s very nicely organized and is loaded with information. With the popularity of cell phones continuing to increase exponentially, finding the right one for you is probably the hardest task.

The site is very well-designed and allows you to select multiple phones and compare them on specs and features. It really makes finding that right one for you super easy. As I said in my other post, size isn’t my biggest concern, it’s more about phone functionality and features.

The PhoneScoop website lets you find the features you want quickly and make an educated and informed decision about your future phone purchase.

The site also has information about the different cell carriers as well. You can uncover information about their policies, coverage information and see a gallery of available phones you can get on their network.

Also handy is glossary for figuring out just what is meant by all those terms thrown around by the websites and cell phone sales people when you go into the store.

Go uncover the scoop about your next cell phone at PhoneScoop.com

Uncovering Great Mobile Websites

Jason Bean — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 06:23:09 +0000

Cell phones are becoming the computer and internet device of choice for thousands-and-thousands of users every day. The question though becomes just what kind of user-experience are these people getting with the browser that’s available on their phones?

~~Many~~ Some websites develop a special mobile version of their site that’s usually accessible by entering their domain with variation like http://m.thedomain.com that lets the site know you’re interested in specially formatted version of the site for a mobile device.

There are some browsers that are developed specifically for using on a cell phone or smart phone, but I still find that the sites that are specifically formatted to display correctly for mobile devices themselves still provide the best user-experience.

But what are some nicely formatted websites that work well with small screen and mobile interface?

Here are some of my favorites:

All of these sites display very well for small screens and still maintain all the core functionality and usefulness of their fully-displayed versions.

What are some of your favorite mobile websites?

I just came across this site for finding a new cell phone case for my PPC-6700 phone from Audiovox. Cases.com has probably the most variety and extensive catalog for a wide variety of phone models that I’ve ever seen. You can find your phone by manufacturer or network.

Large and numerous images and photos of phones and cases also makes the process of trying to figure out the best phone case for you even easier as well.

Cases.com is super-easy to navigate and find what you’re looking for quickly. The other thing I immediately noticed and liked about this site was the variety of price ranges and options that were available. For my model there were soft and hard cases available ranging from $19 – $50+. In addition to cases he also provides access to batteries and memory cards as well.

Snapture – iPhone Users Take Advantage of Your Camera

Jason Bean — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:01:41 +0000

I’m not one of the few chosen or select few that has an iPhone, but the won’t keep me from letting you know about a slick little website that lets iPhone users really showcase and highlight the photos they can take with their iPhone.

The website that’s going to make that happen is Snapture.

What exactly is the goal behind Snapture and the folks that develop it though?

At Snapture, we believe that mobile photography is the way of the future. But although more and more people are taking pictures on their cell phones, we think the tools available to take such photos are still relatively simplistic. Our goal is to help people take better mobile pictures by enhancing the quality and sophistication of the camera software on your cell phones.

Snapture just loads your iPhone with a collection of additional features and controls that make taking photos more fun and more interesting. Just check-out this feature list to get an idea of what you can do: geotagging, color modes, multi-shots, thumbnail mgmt, gesture zoom, auto-rotation, set touch zone, quiet mode and more.

With Snapture and your iPhone, maybe you folks will actually move another step closer to having one device that really can do just about everything you need.

Now, go hang-up your phone and start taking some pictures with Snapture!

Alphabetize Your Digits

Jason Bean — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 01:17:06 +0000

After perusing through my RSS reader and skimming through the LifeHacker posts, I found an interesting article about a website that will take your phone number and try to come up with a word or words that it could spell.

Nowadays I find it feeling like final Jeopardy when someone asks me for my phone number or someone else’s. “Speed Dial #2″ doesn’t work on everyone’s phone if you know what I mean.

Regretfully, my number actually doesn’t spell anything. So if you’re creative enough to figure it out, you can call me and give me your own thoughts.
