There Really Isn’t Much of a “Tablet” Market

“Apple is a software company that makes hardware out of necessity. The software side of a modern computing platform is far more difficult and expensive to create and maintain than the hardware.

But not everyone can create an entire software platform.”

Technology Tip (Smartphones)

Blackberry Curve - Apple iPhone 3G - Blackberry Storm - Blackberry Pearl - HTC Dream G1

Most of my readers probably know this one, but maybe this will help someone.

On your smartphone (Blackberry, iPhone, etc.), you can hit space twice to get a period, space, and automatically capitalized next word.

Enjoy!
