New AT&T Data Plan – No longer Unlimited

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

For most of you that have smartphones I’m sure you heard about AT&T’s plan to discontinue unlimited data.  I have to admit I’m not a fan of AT&T but this move is just another that shows AT&T’s network has problems.  When the iPhone becomes available on another carrier, AT&T will have bigger problems.  This move does 2 things in my opinion:

1) Provides lower data consuming customers a cheaper data plan alternative

2) Curves the appetite of data hogs like myself on AT&T network.

I’m glad I’m on Verizon’s network and hopefully they don’t follow suit!

What are your thoughts?

Google Android 101

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Jona Tech needs to blog about Google’s Android because it seems most none techy people don’t have any idea what it is and how it relates to consumer electronics and mobile phones.

First and foremost, Google’s Android is an operating system or OS for short. It’s like Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 are OS’s for your PC. Like Microsoft, Google is providing Android to all or most mobile phone manufacturers to use and it’s available on most carriers – Verizon, TMobile, Sprint. Unlike Microsoft Windows, Android is open for modifications by all that use it and can be customized. In short Android is the Windows equivalent for cell phones.

Android is available to multiple cell phone makers like LG, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and many others. The widely popular iPhone OS is available ONLY to Apple iPhones. Who will win the battle for the cell phone space? By the looks of our Preferred Smartphone OS Poll – it’s too close to tell right now.
