Sprint Updates the OverDrive Pro
I'm up in Los Angeles so I brought along my Sprint Overdrive and saw I needed to update the firmware/software on it. Now when I look at the top it shows I'm on a "Partner Network" which I never saw before. I guess what they're doing is distancing themselves from Clearwire, whose network it seems to be riding on. And I guess that means we're seeing the start of true data roaming in the 4G space. Maybe one day we can all have only one device. One plan and not have to worry if the network is GSM, HSPA, HSDPA, HSPA+, CDMA, WiMAX, LTE or carrier pigeon.

That makes Skype the new switchboard, according to The NextWeb...and the claim, even with last weeks outage, and despite the pathetic Mac client, likely correct. As someone who runs an all virtual business, and have since 1992, I can attest to the sentiment the research is showing. As far back as the 1970's when I worked for the Philadelphia Flyers, part of my "work...

Retailers-Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Image via Wikipedia I'll admit, that I love to go to Starbucks as my "get away" from the home office office. Meeting are easy to arrange at their locations, as most people in the technology world know where one is. So of late, after returning from my exhaustive 6 week European business trip and mini-vacation, I found my Starbucks card in my USA wallet, not my EU/UK version. And guess what, I've yet to switch back. But after a week of using "cash" I remembered I had the Starbucks Mobile Card app on my iPhone (it also works on the iPad and iPod touch) so between that app, and my drivers license, a headset with mic and an Amex card,...
