That was a very busy month for tech news. Lots of great things came, some not so great but that is almost unnoticeable. Looks like good news for the gaming world all the way around. Bad news for the business phones. Then again, no one really used palm anymore anyway.

It seems as if people want Android to compete with Apple Ipad Tablet. As if there is this big battle waiting to happen. The problem is, the Ipad is a useless accessory that serves no other purpose than to do and be what Apple wants. That is, for the future to be planned and predetermined. Google makes their hardware and software with rules and laws protecting them to say ” this is what we are selling, this is what you can do with it. It is a Horse bit and Blinders future if you let the product manufacturers tell you what is good, as apposed to produce what you request.
There is no use in that tablet, otherwise people would have bought the many Microsoft tablets through the years. It’s not a question of quality, it’s a question of convenience and capabilities. If it is an E-book reader with app abilities Neat, so is a $200 laptop. I mean if sun glare is not a problem to you, Otherwise a Kendal migt be the better, lighter and cheaper rout.
You must always have the option of a mouse and keyboard. You should not force people to have only one interface option.
My only hope is everyone who makes gadgets, just ignores the Ipad and moves on in computer and telephone direction. That would prevent us from being forced into a touch screen only type of interface. That junk would get old fast. I would hate to write to the Tech News site on a touch screen. After about an hour, my finger tips would get sore. Imagen if it was your job. I actually freak out when people touch my monitor. Imagen if all we had was touchscreen. I would be forced to sit in teh corner chewing on the collar of my shirt staring off into space mumbling “amonia glass cleaners and key action, We used to be able to do what was called ‘over clocking’ and we could tweak our machines and linux was a real, it’s not a myth, it’s not a myth”.
Hopefully we get an Android system that competes with the Ipad, but is nothing like the Ipad at all. That would be our best hope and safest bet.
Rumor hitting the net now about Tmobile and sprint merging.
From this Uk News Article
Hopefully this means teh end of sprints crappy CDMA signal and growth of Tmobiles more dominant gsm signal.
One of the greatest features of gsm is the ability to just yank your sim card out and plug it into another phone you have and make it work, until you can replace your broken phone. So if this happens, cross your fingers and hope for gsm. Some people like to travel, and many people like Tmobile.
Oh yeah, and a good signal.
I ordered a cell phone from Wal-Mart because the advertisement showed that if I signed a contract i would get the phone plus $100. That is what it would take to get me to drop my current carrier, because of the fees they jam you with when you close an account, and all that.
Okay, great deal, right? I mean it isn’t the best phone on the market and the color is a little jacked but hell, I get 100 back. Fine. and they have it in stock. I can get it in a couple days.
Okay, I see they added the tax to the end like they said they would. but now the thing is out of stock.
After all was said and done, I got charged $100 from my checking account and after I got charged from my bank account on something that was supposed to be free + 100 more back. The damn thing is out of stock. Okay, If I am paying $100 up front then since I am supposed to “make $100″ then I should get $200 cash back because $100 is outta my pocket for picking basic stuff.
Now the funny part is, you have to print out a pdf for your mail in rebate. I mean come on guys . You mean to tell me they can’t spit out the cash it takes to ship the rebates with the dang phone? wtf!
when I went back to the site after the guy from the complaint line told me to look,it had changed to say something along the lines of how it ends today and had a link that said “only with family share plans” what kinda shit is that?
