I made the jump from the iPhone’s included mail application and may swap out the Phone app for a Google Voice web app later, too. The above image is my iPhone dock. Sean McKeever on Facebook asked how I get notifications for new mail being received. Here’s how I do that…

Obviously building an app store seems like a good idea to any cellular service or handset maker. They’ve got app store envy. Apple has had a huge …

I hope this news about the ISS doesn’t come true. How messed up would it be to have one of our best space efforts come crashing down so soon after completion?…

The tethering experience on the iPhone 3G S with iPhone 3.0 OS is slick. Engadget’s how-to can get you up and running. After that, Internet access is attained in 1 step: Plug iPhone in to USB. Nothing more. That’s it. Plug it in and the tether initiates as seamlessly as plugging in a USB ethernet …

Just read Change Makers: John Ingram, a highlight in the latest issue of Publishers Weekly. If you follow the publishing industry or digital media, it’s a good read.
