Verizon iPhone – No thanks!

 

Before you drop AT&T iPhone 4 for the Verizon iPhone 4 you may want to think twice.

1. Verizon iPhone will not handle data and voice simultaneously.

2. While using the Verizon iPhone as a hotspot you will not be able to accept or place calls.

3. Verizon plans and features may cost you way more than AT&T.

4. If you switch from AT&T to Verizon you may have to pay an early termination fees to AT&T, activation fees to Verizon and taxes. Is it worth it?

5. Verizon will be hit with all of these iPhones clogging their network and AT&T warns that Verizon service may be “slow”. We will see.

 

*I’m not pro AT&T but I just think that the Verizon iPhone had too much hype for nothing. The iPhone 4 is old news.

By Bryan Sanders posted August 31, 2010 at 03:55AM

OpenAppMkt (Open App Market)

If you are looking for alternative applications for your iPhone, you may want to add Openappmkt to your home screen. Openappmkt is similar to the App Store but the apps do not have to be approved by Apple first. You will find some great unapproved by Apple applications here. The apps are legal and will not void your warranty (HTML 5). As seen on Attack of the Show (AOTS).

You will find apps for jailbroken (Cydia) and non-jailbroken iPhones. Visit http://openappmkt.com on your iPhone and follow the prompts on the screen. You will add the icon/bookmark ‘+’ to your home screen and you’re done. Simply visit the  market and chose from your favorite apps. The icons/apps will appear on your home screen as they usually do with App Store apps.

Note: Android support is said to be coming soon.

The TiVo Slide Remote – I’m Buying One

TiVo Slide Remote

I’ve been a TiVo user since the day they were first released at Good Guys back in the late 1990′s. I had a choice of the TiVo or a Microsoft DVR which never made it. I made the right choice. I fell in love with my TiVo. I was so excited about the technology that I told all of my friends and family about the TiVo. Nobody seemed to understand how you can fast forward, pause and rewind television shows. They kept asking me how the box can fast forward to the future. They just didn’t get it.

Fast forward to 2010. I now own a Series 3 HD TiVo and I still prefer it over my Comcast DVR. The TiVo works flawless and I have never had any issues with any of my boxes except the modem going out on my first gen box. Recently I saw a new toy for my TiVo that is a must have. It is a TiVo Slide Remote.

The new TiVo Slide Remote is a plug and play device. No set-up is required. It uses bluetooth which means you may now put the TiVo in a cabinet and the remote will still function. You can be up to 30 feet away from the TiVo and you don’t have to point the remote at the box for it to work like IR. The slide comes with a qwerty keyboard to make inputting ‘Wishlists’ and searches more efficient.

Note: The Slide Remote works only with Series 3 and Series 4 TiVo’s.

What is the TiVo Slide Remote?

Introducing the TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard.

The TiVo® Slide remote puts the full power of TiVo in the palm of your hand. Hidden inside its ergonomic, peanut-shaped exterior is a fully retractable QWERTY keyboard for quick and easy text entry.

* Finger-friendly slideout keyboard: Full QWERTY-format keyboard enables faster and easier text entry for Search, YouTube™, RSS and more
* More powerful signal: Built-in Bluetooth® provides increased range and strength to accommodate clutter-free setups inside cabinets
* One remote does it all: Learns commands for power, input, volume and mute directly from the remote controls of your TV and receiver
* Easy to use in a dark room: Light sensor automatically activates glow feature on backlit keys and keyboard, so you never have to turn on a light
* One-step activation takes seconds: Easy plug-and-play setup puts you in control in moments
* Compatible with all TiVo Series3™, TiVo HD/HD XL, and Premiere/Premiere XL boxes. (If you received your TiVo Premiere from RCN, check back for updates on the availability of TiVo Slide for your box.)
