What's Up Doc?


This is a first, two postings within an hour.  I had to share my experience with an application for the BlackBerry Storm (and others).

Gwabbit (http://www.gwabbit.com/) makes adding information to your contact list as easy as opening an email.  The application recognizes the signature area and populates the field of your contact list.  I have had it for a couple of days and found it to be a great.  No more cutting and pasting.  It is automatic.  The only downside was the $9.99 cost, but it will likely be worth it in the long run.  I get nothing out sharing this, but I hope you get a kick out of this application



Apple's iPhone "wrecking" the cell industry


Maybe some day I will be able to get an iPhone on the Verizon network.  My BB Storm keeps getting better, but I am intrigued by the features on my iPod Touch and wish they were on my phone.  

Here is an interesting view on what iPhone is doing to the industry.

I can't say I disagree. If I were Apple I would be looking for every opportunity to involve other providers.

Pizza Hut First Pizza Chain to Launch iPhone App


I'm back.  It has been a while, but I have not forgotten that someone might be reading this.

I continue to think that the iPhone app is a disruptive technology.  Obviously when Pizza Hut takes the plunge it must mean something. 


I have always wanted to order pizza from my iPod.  
Well maybe not. 

I did order movie tickets on Fandango from my iPod.  

I am certain someone out there will be excited about this one.

It is still disruptive, at least to my phone.
