A girl once called them lucky legs. I thought it was a compliment until she said 'yeah, lucky they don't break.'

For example, I am a financial manager for JP MORGAN CHASE in midtown and I needed a mortgage calculator.

My choices were:
A) pay $50 - $100 for one and have it shipped from an internet supplier.

or

B) go on APP store and download one.

I ended up getting one FREE from app store called "Loan U Later".

Took me all of 4 minutes.


How many phones can really compete with that kind of flexibility?

NOT PRE

NOT STORM

NOT anything else.


I do not fear down ranks because the truth has sent us 3G iphone users free.]]>May 27th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/Who the hell would even consider something as silly as a mortgage calculator? Last time I checked, most mortgage sites have one already.

Personally, I like my iPhone, but morons like you make me wish mine was under a differ brand. Let's see, google.com, type in mortgage calculator, oh hey, there is one. Under a minute. iPhone exclusive? Nope. Any smart phone can use google. So by you're logic that likes to compare Apples to Oranges ( Pun intended ), google > your iPhone. Yes, you're iPhone, not mine though. Because I actually understand Quantum Physics, unlike you're moronic ass, so I can use google.

Isn't you're type of logic wonderfull?]]>May 27th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/
you realize that not only are there a plethora of apps for palm, windows mobile, and blackberry devices but that they all have either launched or plan on launching their own respective app store.

I always find it amazing how people working in our main financial institutions are more ignorant when it comes to technology then the 13 year old girl who lives down the block from me.]]>May 27th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/@QuantumPhysics: My 2004 fucking HTC Apache can run a damn mortgage calculator. Didn't cost me a dime. WINMO not only has an app store but an *APP FREE FOR ALL* ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THOUSANDS OF EASILY INSTALLED APPS.
So, please, Iphone fanboys, PLEASE stop acting like no other phone could ever run *INSERT APP I"VE HAD FOR 5 YEARS HERE* because they can. Yes, the Iphone is neat, awesome interface, but except for some neat motion games, it can't do anything productive that my 5 year old smartphone can't. NOT HATIN, JUST SAYIN.

BTW, Maemo is nice as is Android but i'd prefer a Moblin port, and barring that some version of OpenInkpot would be sweet.

Android is great for webphones, but for netbooks and web tablets the choice should always be Moblin.]]>May 27th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/
Moblin and Maemo are getting very close in terms of functionality now. One wonders which one will jump over to the other CPU architecture first!

If I was to bet on it, i'd say Maemo based on community interest but I know Intel and the Intel Foundation have a huge number of people working on Moblin. I do worry about a 3rd party app channel for Moblin though. Maemo seems better set-up for that, especially with Ovi store launching.

I'd rather get a $200 netbook - faster processor, not really that much bigger (especially if you're talking about using it on a coffee table), and the keyboard helps for instant messages and such.]]>May 27th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/
At the moment I still hate touch screens, but manufacturers have been trying to roll out tablet computing since the late 80's and the technology is finally getting to the point where it's realistic and usable.

At this price point, the device is almost to that sweet spot. With the SDHC card reader in it, they just need to tweak the touch screen and get the processing power up to levels to handle video and then it would be very functional for many people.]]>May 27th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/

Netbooks are relatively comfortable on the spfa but this is like a paperback book.Worlds apart. It's so comfortable in one hand. 1lb where most netbooks are near 3lb. Bed, Sofa, Kitchen, Car, Toilet. Think about the battery life too. 6-12 hours depending on use. 3 day standby.
You can leave instant the instant messenger connected and running all day on this.
This doesn't replace a netbook at all. You can't type more than one line of text on the bloody thing to start with, but if you're looking for a lazy-boy device, this is better than a netbook.

I only wish it had a built-in IR app like the old PepperPad did!]]>May 27th 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/May 27th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks/
The iPhone? Man, my kid crashes it and ruins my address book and deletes apps and somehow .. darn it .. manages to download all kinds of rubbish. The iPhone is *NOT* useful in this regard. Hello, Apple, make a KID MODE please, geeze, is it so hard to believe kids wanna play .. ?
