Really? Less Than 3.5 Million Honeycomb Tablets In The Wild? This Is Google's Fault

According to Slashgear, there is only 3.4 million tablets in use running with Google's current officially sanctioned Android OS, Honeycomb.  Can that be?

Reading About Sprint Users Getting iPhones Makes Me Sad For T-Mobile

I’ve been a T-Mobile subscriber nearly a decade. I’ve had a fantastic relationship with them. I was formerly with AT&T until they irked (I wanted to use a stronger language but I changed it because I really like Greenjava to be a family friendly site) off a lot of folks. I just could not stand them any longer.

I was so happy when they received the G1, the very first Android device which I continue to use and cherish to this day. And I thought maybe two or three years down the line, I could get an iPhone that runs on T-Mobile’s 3G network. Surely, Apple would not keep the exclusive with the hated AT&T network for years and years, right?

Where Are Verizon Wireless' iPhone Brag?

No doubt Apple had a great week with the pre-sale figure of 1 million iPhone 4S sold and a fantastic Friday today with AT&T doubling the already iPhone 4 activations and Sprint recording best-ever day.  As an Apple fan, you are heartened by this.

Okay, good.  Ahem, Verizon, you go next.  Tell us how crazy your iPhone sales have been today.  Go ahead.  The stage is yours.

Hello?  Verizon?  Hey, there.  Come on.  Don't be shy.

Not the best ever?  Second best?  Second best is okay.  I bought one, pre-ordered it.  That's one that I know of.  There were other folks I'm sure.

What?  You're too good for us?  WTF!?

Seriously, I can wait to find out the final score between the three.  I'm sure Sprint with its fantastic sales won't be close to what AT&T has.  I just want to know how close VZW's iPhone activations come to AT&T's.

You have to keep in mind that AT&T has an advantage neither  Sprint or VZW has:  free iPhone 3GS.  It's a two year old iPhone but remember, it was the second best selling smartphone, bested only by its sibling, the iPhone 4.

This blog is composed using dictation on iPhone 4S

Hello everyone. This blog is composed using the dictation feature on the iPhone five using iPhone 4S.

As you can see, it is pretty accurate. I try to compose message earlier using the iPhone 4S speaker. It was not as accurate as using the headset.

For those of us who have the iPhone 4S, I think we should all try to use the dictation feature more often. Why's that? The reason is because I think with Siri, Apple is going to Really revolutionize how we interact with computers. Using Siri, it is only the beginning. Using dictation to compose our messages and emails, it is only the beginning.

Obviously Apple has a long way to go before the AI in iOS 5 or future iOS can really become our digital assistant.

Earlier I try to see if Siri can launch applications. It was not able to. However, I know didn't ability for users to launch applications with the mat or on and iOS device is going to be a very important feature and I think it will come rather quickly.

Right now Siri is in beta testing. I am sure by the time Siri gets out of beta there will be a few additional features it can perform.

The most important feature that I like Siri to have is the ability to launch apps. More than that I like the dictation feature to also be built into other applications. I am talking more than just dictations. I want to be able to issue commands in other apps.

Example, after I launched the foursquare app, I like to be able to check in simply by speaking. Or if I am Facebook, I like to be able to say "update status" and then be able to dictate what my status is.

Those are just two examples that I quickly thought of while I was using Siri. I am sure the engineering team at Apple has already thought of these things. And no doubt we will some day get these features.

I am certain that as you use Siri you will think of other examples that Siri can make the mobile experience better.

Note: I have to make some corrections to this post by dictating. I am sure just like Siri, the dictation feature will be improved over time. However it beats having to tap out the whole post.

iPhone 4S - It Is Here And It's All Mine!

Here are a few pics I took off the iPhone 4S against the iPhone 4. Both are white and both are of the Verizon variants.

As you can clearly see, they look similar. I don't know what to do next. I'm gonna have figure it out. When I do, I'll post and share with the VZW iPhone users how I got it to be activated.


























Can't tell which is which? The 4S is the one on the left and on the bottom.

iPhone 4S: Still Available In Store (May Need To Hurry Just In Case)

According to various reports online, it appears there are plenty of iPhone 4S still in stock that people can go pick up if they did not pre-order ahead of time or was not willing to wait along with the hundreds of thousands around the world for it.

However, my suggestion is that you do go as soon as you can to get the model you want.  I'm sure the smaller memory versions are probably very popular.

As a matter of fact, UPS dropped mine off about 30 minutes ago.  32 GB white Verizon version.  Will post pics.

iMessage: Good And Could Get Better; How To Set Up

I've been using iMessage to communicate with my brother and a few friends as far as India.  What is iMessage and why you really want it if you are surrounded by other people who use iOS devices like the iPad or iPhone?

iMessage is Apple's newest iOS feature: an integrated messaging system for its iOS devices and, in the future, the Macs.  It allows the user to send messages from one device to another.  And again, it's only within Apple's software and hardware ecosystem.  What's cool about it is that it's free to use like most of Apple's online services.

Okay, now you're exicted.  You've got iOS 5 (oh, yeah, it only works with the latest iOS).  How do you get started?  Apple's website doesn't exactly give you the info straight up.
