Usually on a Friday, I’d have a Featured Album Friday blog post up, but because I’m apparently hitting the books hard, I haven’t had a minute to really check out new songs – regularly scheduled posts will be back soon time, I promise.
Anyway, while in the middle of studying today, I received a registered letter [...]

Earlier today, I tweeted about my feelings regarding the status of Nokia as a cell phone brand and company, and how their smartphones were being disregarded for the most part. Keep in mind that I myself carry a Nokia E71 and for the most part have been pleased with it, but several issues have turned [...]

$6.95 – System Access Fee

Here’s my official review (More like comparison!) of the Nokia E71 that came in for me today. Summary for the lazy: I am absolutely in love, and it’s an amazing phone!
You can read about tech specs and whatever features it has elsewhere, so I’m going to compare it to the Samsung Jack as well as [...]

Introducing the iKIT – a new product by IMOVIO that is being called a ’sub-subnotebook’ which makes subnotebooks look enormous in comparison. This little device is 95mm x 65mm x 15.5mm, which is tiny even compared to my Samsung Jack’s 110m x 57mm x 15mm frame, especially considering it has a clamshell design.
Which brings me [...]
