HTC Touch Pro 2–The Day is Finally Here

Monday, August 31st, 2009

According to the official HTC Twitter, the HTC Touch Pro 2 is coming to Sprint on September 8th.  While I’m not one to rush out in wait in line (yeah, like they’ll actually be a line), I am interested to see what everyone thinks of it.  Since my contract with Sprint is so phenomenal, it would cost me around $50-75 to switch to AT&T and go with the iPhone–an amount I can’t justify.

So the Touch Pro 2 is my only hope of having an extremely fancy yet advanced smartphone.  Granted, there are others but none of them have really impressed me especially when compared to the iPhone.  But the Touch Pro seemed to come the closest.  So I have held out hopes that the Touch Pro 2 would meet my expectations and give me a phone similar to the iPhone.

Google finally made use of its acquisition of GrandCentral back in 2007 by releasing Google Voice.

One advanced feature is that it will turn the voicemail into text for you and then SMS text message you or email you the text of the voicemail.

Google Voice is in its pre-release form and will be available to everyone soon.  If you want to know when you can use it, fill out this short form for Google, and they’ll email you.

Intel Core i7 Chipset on the Market

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Ok, so the super-geek in me loves tech stuff.  And this new chip from Intel is simply put: UNBELIEVABLE.

The tech-side of me wants to rush right out and buy a computer that has one of these chips, but then the frugal-side of me reminds me that my budget can’t handle it.  So, alas, I wait….and know that at some point I will be using one of these babies!
