It’s an interesting time of year.  New cell phones are launching.  T-Mobile launced the HTC Touch Pro 2 a week or two ago and now Sprint has announced their model will be available for order on September 8th.  Here are a couple of snips from the press release: The latest in a series of...

Joshua Topolsky wrote and published “ Editorial: Taking the iPhone 3GS off the job market ” on the widely popular engadget.com website today.  I think he’s a little upset.  I never would have thought I’d see the day the engadget folks would publish an article like that since they are pretty...

The Windows Mobile CDMA version of the Palm Treo Pro is now selling at sprint.com . I have one on the way and it will be here tomorrow. I plan to switch from my Palm Treo 800w to the Treo Pro to gain the additional battery life. What else am I looking forward to? Probably the biggest change I will...

CEO Steve Ballmer along with key mobile partners, HTC, LG and Orange, unveiled new Windows ® phones featuring new user-friendly software and services.

Remember that post I did a couple of days ago about the Microsoft Developer Conference (MDC)?  You might want to consider going more seriously now.  See http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/11/24/did-you-miss-the-pdc-this-year-here-s-another-chance.aspx for the details around the...

In the initial first day of use with the Verizon Samsung Omnia , I was pretty frustrated. Much of that frustration was misplaced and was a hold over of the HTC Touch Pro I now have boxed and ready for return. What lowered my frustration with the Omnia? The first is clearly seeing that a device with no...

Earlier this week I received the Sprint HTC Touch Pro .  I really didn't start playing with it until Thursday because I just came off a busy couple of weeks.  It's always like that following a vacation.  So what's this new phone like?  Is it a keeper? Looks Count I don't know about...

For a mere $799 , you can be the owner of a brand spanking new X1.  Now how many of you are running out the door right now to go get one?  Need more information first?  Here’s the low down… The Xperia™ X1 is a global communication device that offers the latest in unlocked...

I have a Palm Treo Pro arriving tomorrow.  It was a pretty tough decision to purchase the device.  The primary reason is because it is an expensive device.  But in the end the funding came through in some unexpected ways so I made the plunge. A little over a year ago, I managed to luck...

See http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2008/09/18/life-without-walls-wallpapers-for-your-pc.aspx for some cool wallpapers to cover your desktop. Seems a bit ironic to me.

It always amazes me at the “diversity” of opinion on all matters inside and outside my company.  As you might imagine, not only do we scrutinize what our competitors are up to, but we are world class at criticizing ourselves.  The new ad campaign is no exception.  I started to see people...

You know how technology goes.  Just as soon as you are getting ready to plunk your hard earned cash down on a nice new phone, someone announces the next generation that is the “ must have ” device.  HTC just did that.  Sprint finally launched the US version of the HTC Touch Diamond. ...

I’ve seen some horror stories this week. Not surprisingly, they were about the iPhone buying process or more accurately, trying to move an account from a telephone company to at&t and the iPhone. Wanna guess which phone company telephone number can’t be moved to the iPhone? AT&T. As odd as...

Regardless of the hiccups today on activation of the Apple iPhone 3G, you have to hand it to Apple and at&t on what appears to be a pretty decent product launch.  I mean after all, how many people played “sick” or “hookie” today in order to stand in line all day and buy an iPhone? Let’s see...

Looks pretty kewl to me.

As you can see at http://edge.technet.com , we are launching a new online portal for IT Pros. Expect to see lots of content in the form of podcasts, screencasts and videos. I have some interesting stuff coming. My EDGE id is KingCobra. Head on over and register if you want a cool name, before all of...

Two weeks ago I was in Seattle for my yearly training. I attended a late night content review and was surprised when the Palm US sales team showed up to talk about the relationship with Microsoft. In return for getting between us and a cold frosty mug sensation, they handed out the Palm Treo 750 with...

I feel like a treasure hunter. In my quest to find you valuable nuggets, I unearthed the mother lode on Exchange Server 2007. The Technical Architecture of Exchange Server 2007 is almost 600 pages of pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about the product. The shocking thing is that the download...

As you might guess, we're doing a lot of air, land and sea cover on Windows Vista right now. But what's next? Here's a hint... Windows " Longhorn " Server, that's what!!! With that in mind, what do you want to see in Q4FY07 ??? Q4 is April, May and June 2007. For our live seminars, I'm planning...

The Windows Mobile Device Center is only supported on Windows Vista. The Windows Mobile Device...

Like many of you other nerds, I surfed a bit yesterday while I watched the Jets get destroyed. I didn't even bother to watch the Philly game because I knew how it would turn out. I reviewed the CES coverage at engadget . I looked around at the articles on gizmodo . What am I rushing out to buy? Most...
