Swype – The Next Evolution of Handheld Text Input
By Kyle on December 23, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Cell phones and other handheld devices have progressed thus far to a less powerful PC keyboard. Swype promises to drastically improve the way we input text on the go. Now I have not used a device with it, but from what I have seen it is powerful to say the least. Swype is the Lamborghini of handheld input methods.
Their official benchmarks put its capabilities at 45 words per minute. They claim that PC keyboards get less than 60, so this almost puts it up to par with them. And mind you, the Swype method is one handed! I bet you are wondering how it works, well I will tell you after the break.

Carrier Wars – All About The Numbers
By Kyle on August 5, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Verizon Wireless is leading in the United States with 87.7 million subscribers. Closely tailing Verizon is AT&T with around 80 million. This is largely due to AT&T’s exclusive deal to sell the iPhone. So that speaks loads about Verizon because they don’t have a phone anywhere near as popular as the iPhone and have around 7 million more customers.
In third place is Sprint which is behind in the game. Even with the launch of the Palm Pre last quarter Sprint’s subscribers are declining. Currently they have 48.8 million customers. They HTC Hero is rumored to launch in the United States on Sprint so that might help.
Bringing up the rear is T-Mobile with just over 30 million subscribers. The reason for this is largely because of their late adoption of a 3G network. Now that they have one established they can hopefully get more customers.

Blackberry Storm Now Only $99.99 On Contract
By Kyle on July 18, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Whenever a phone drops down in price like this it means they are trying to get rid of as much stock as they can before the release of the next generation of the phone. Saving $100 on a smartphone hardly makes a difference with all the money it will cost you with the contract. You might as well get the best you can, so wait for the Blackberry Storm 2 which is rumored to be released in September on Verizon.
