Bold Battery Life - Real World

Kevin P. posted an article on - Jan 11, 2009, 5:38 am
So I have had the BlackBerry Bold for a while now and have had an opportunity to test real world battery life. First let me say that this thing sucks down the juice. Not unlike the iPhone 3G which needed a software update to improve battery life - so to could the Bold use a software update that im...

THN vs. THN (BlackBerry Bold App vs. iPhone App)

Kevin P. posted an article on - Dec 23, 2008, 7:40 am
The Hockey News has released their mobile application on both the BlackBerry and iPhone.  Since I have both a Bold (Work) & iPhone (Home) I thought I would compare both platforms.  I'm on AT&T's 3G network with both devices. Here are screenshots of THN on the bold: As you can see they are not to ...

Trapster = Battery Drain

Kevin P. posted an article on - Oct 11, 2008, 8:40 am
So I had an opportunity to download try out free app Trapster. This little app provides real time notifications about "reported" speed traps, red light cameras and known police hangouts along the roads. It is updated by users and so your mileage may vary. While the app appeared to work okay it is...

Firmware 2.1 is a Winner!

Kevin P. posted an article on - Oct 4, 2008, 6:11 am
Well it has been almost a month since I've updated my iPhone 3G to firmware 2.1 and I can report it has been rock solid. What it fixed for me: 1) No more crashes - I have not had to reset the phone due to the OS being locked up. Sure the occasional app freezes but that is to be expected with early ...

iPhone Stable at Last!

Kevin P. posted an article on - Sep 7, 2008, 9:01 am
Well I think I will call this fixed (temporary solution) until either new Firmware or new iTunes versions are released. My phone has been stable for the better part of 4 days now. I will attribute this to the fact that I do not have to many apps installed. Here are screen shots of my iPhone pages....

Gmail 2.0.5 for BlackBerry

Kevin P. posted an article on - Sep 6, 2008, 10:07 am
I just updated my gmail app on my blackberry (I'm on OS 4.5). Beside being quicker the most significant feature is the ability to check multiple gmail accounts without having to log out. This is a great feature and quite frankly I'm surprised it has taken this long to become available. I only hav...

iPhone - So Far, So Good

Kevin P. posted an article on - Sep 6, 2008, 7:56 am
Well another 24 hours has passed and I have yet to crash my iPhone.  I find it quite interesting that I'm not the only one having issues.  I ran across this article over at TUAW in which having to many Apps is causing this issue.  Tell me this is not a firmware issue.  I can corroborate that ...

iPhone Firmware Redux

Kevin P. posted an article on - Sep 5, 2008, 7:21 am
The saga continues. After spending all weekend getting my iPhone setup (see below) it crashed again less than 24 hours later. This time I was just trying to send an email (via gmail) when the phone suddenly froze and restarted. Same problem as before. Again I tried to backup and it would never co...

Kevin P. posted an article on - Sep 1, 2008, 10:48 am
Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh sounding but I'm more than a little bit aggravated after having to reload my iPhone not once but twice now and the wife's iphone as well; and before you go saying what about the backup let us just say have you actually tried it! Today is Labor Day and while I'm enj...
