Welcome to another edition of the PPCGeek Spotlight where we get enlightening perspectives and great insight from well known community members, developers and leaders. In this edition we highlight a highly respected and talented Windows Mobile ROM developer here at PPCGeeks.com, Sharkie405.
Take a look at the biography followed by a Q&A with Sharkie405.
Bizzy is an application recently launched on Android that has been available for iOS for sometime now. If you are unfamiliar with Bizzy, it’s very similar to Foursquare and Yelp but has a few more cool features. Instead of checking into places, you are checking out. Of course there is more to it than that. Keep reading to find out all about it.
Do you love foursquare as much as I do? If so, this will excite you as well. Remember recently when they added the feature where you can take images of where you are and share them with everyone? Well, that’s not all they have been working on. Keep reading to learn more.
These questions are going up all over the web so why don’t we ask our Geeks the same thing? Which one would you choose: the AT&T or Verizon Wireless iPad2? We will give you some specifications, prices and more information to maybe help you in your decision making process.
You may remember our article written last month suggesting that AT&T may be capping data on 4G devices, such as the Atrix 4G. According to sources, AT&T is capping data speeds at 300 Kbps which is much slower than the iPhone at 1.5 Mbps.
Several Verizon Wireless customers are patiently waiting for the Thunderbolt release, some not so patiently. We’ve all been hearing about the 4G LTE smartphones that were on track to be released in the first half of 2011. We’ve also been hearing about the dates being pushed back for the devices to officially launch, the Thunderbolt being the first.
We’ve heard rumors about a Sprint and T-Mobile merger in the past, and this is no different. This morning, Bloomberg is reporting about Sprint and Deutsche Telekom holding meetings to discuss a possible acquisition. The deal could reportedly give Deutsche Telekom a sizable stake in Sprint following the merger – up to 50%. Sprint had no comment, but a Deutsche Telekom spokesperson said the company “could sell all or part of the U.S. business, and all options are open.”
Google Maps has had a traffic layer for a while now, but Google released an update today which will include traffic information while navigating and will automatically re-route you based on that information. Read more…
Take a look at the video Wirefly has recently posted giving you a detailed overview of the Sprint HTC Arrive. This Windows Phone 7 device rocks a 3.6″ LCD screen that does tilt when you slide open the keyboard. The Arrive has a 5MP camera with an LED flash and also supports HD video.
Sprint booked a two-and-a-half hour slot at the upcoming CTIA Wireless coming up in a few weeks. Engadget did some digging around and has come up with three possible devices that Sprint will announce in that slot. The candidates are the Nexus S 4G, Evo 3D, and Evo View. Read More…
Keith Pardy, head of marketing at Research In Motion is leaving the company in six months for personal reasons. This makes us wonder what changes will take place, if any, and is this a good or bad thing for RIM? They will soon launch their Blackberry Playbook tablet so this notice of resignation comes as a huge surprise to RIM right before the launch.
PPCGeeks.com has been around for about 5 years and has gone through many changes over those years. We’ve had several staff members come and go and have gone through quite a few style changes on the forums. We also have several ROM chef’s, theme makers, kitchen developers and even application developers who are very active on the site.
Seeing how saturated the market is with netbook’s and tablet’s these days, we want to know what you think. Are there too many options available that make your decision harder when deciding what to purchase? Or do you feel like you should have several choices available?
Either way, the decision’s not always easy for everyone so this article will help those who are currently shopping for one and aren’t sure what to do.
One hot topic on the internet right now is the unveiling of the iPad2 which took place on March 2, 2011 by Apple’s Steve Jobs in California. Following the announcement, Samsung immediately admitted they feel they have a tough challenge to face and have to make some changes.
