Do you need to have online meetings but not frequently enough to warrant purchasing a subscription to GoToMeeting? Well, I’ve got news for you there’s a free one out there from the people at LogMeIn. It’s called, cleverly enough, Join.me. (Yes, that’s a .me extension, not a .com extension, so don’t type Join.me.com, because it won’t go anywhere.) (more…)
The new’s we’ve all been waiting for! Verizon Wireless will finally be allowed to sell the iPhone. For those of us who wanted an iPhone on a more stable network, this is a dream come true.

Whatever it would cost them to break the contract would probably be made up in a heartbeat from all of the new customers. I know I would be one of them. (more…)
I was just at the Verizon store and came across these two neat items.
The first item is an HP netbook that has Verizon Wireless internet service built in it (it also has regular WiFi access, too).

I got to play with it a little bit and it and it was snappy enough to run the the Ajax based wed mail from Nomad Email. (I got to handle a bunch of my email while waiting for the next salesperson, whohoo!) (more…)
