I’m just saying – you mix WiMax with a Google phone (or even a iPod Touch that lets you do some VOIP) and you can kiss hat cell phone bill goodbye.  What if Verizon got off their backside and just hooked us up with a way to add a cell card to these…anyway a Google phone:

And by “Google Phone” we don’t simply mean another Android handset. We’re talking about Google-branded hardware running a version of Android we haven’t yet seen.

The November 9 UK launch comes four months after the 8-gigabyte model was introduced in the USA. Apple released new, larger storage versions of its iPhone, 16GB, and iPod touch, 32GB, February 5, 2008.

I found this post today “Qualcomm Mini Notebook” and this is one I would use.

Qualcomm is working on a miniature notebook and has two operating systems in mind for the end product – Linux and Windows Mobile 7.

So the real question is – is it smarter than a 5th grader can it beat a iPod Touch?

Left Zune on the Plane – it may be time for the Touch

Man sometimes I feel so stupid.  I don;t think I’m going to put anything in that silly seat pocket anymore.  I even thought of it about 2 minutes before I got off the plane.  Then, as I was getting buckled in the next one – i remembered it.  It was left behind.  I called the airlines but you know how that stuff works.

So I figure I need to get the iPod Touch as the replacement.  It will give me a chance to look over the iPohine/Touch SDK and see what exciting things can be done.  I tell you – it will be nice to have wifi and a browser available.  I like the sounds of that too.

So I guess I have to decide whether I need a 16 or 32 – retail is $499 on the 32 Gig iPod Touch – that is really up there.  I guess I will have to see what eBay has to offer.  So if you get on a plane and in 12C you find a Zune, just give it to your kids…I’m going to see a man about a Touch.  :)
