Thankfully, they've gone ahead and made it a bit easier for those who were waiting for another option. No, this isn't technically... Read more »

Moment in the hizzy

Moment in the hizzy Did I really just say that? Yes, yes I did. I've only got this particular device for a day or two, then it's off to Kravitz in San Francisco for his reviews, dogfights, and whatever else he has in mind. I think another one might be headed my way though, so feel free to ask questions and tell me what you'd like to see on video. You can get me on Twitter @PhoneDog_John... Read more »
