T-Mobile's Project Emerald: HTC Glacier - Dual Core Smartphone

Recently, T-Mobile has hinted towards one of their future endevor's entitled "Project Emerald". In Quarter 4 of 2009, T-Mobile had announced "Project Black", which entailed great budget plans for current and future T-Mobile customers. The buzz that follows this year's "Project" is that T-Mobile will be unveiling a new HTC smartphone to compliment their brand new HSPA+ network. With the addition of the Samsung Vibrant, it would seem that T-Mobile is attempting to take a step forward in the competitive smartphone race. It's obvious that T-Mobile has been behind in the race with its fellow carriers for having "The Best Smartphone" available, so hopefully this "Project Emerald" will help usher T-Mobile ahead of the pack.

It can be assumed that this rumored phone will take advantage of T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, considering the fact that T-Mobile does not currently have a HSPA+ enabled phone available on their network.

In this video, I discuss T-Mobile's Project Emerald, as well as the rumored HTC Glacier.

iPhone 4 Press Conference July 16th @ 10am

If you haven't been informed by now, the iPhone 4 suffers from signal issues due to the location of the antenna. Yesterday, Apple announced the scheduling of an emergency conference regarding the iPhone 4 dated for July 16th at 10am (local times located at the bottom of this post). Apple has not been particular with what this conference is regarding, but it has been assumed that the topic is based on the iPhone 4's antenna issues. This would come as no surprise considering the ton of bad press that the iPhone has received due to this problem.

In this video I discuss my opinion and predictions toward the iPhone 4 press conference that will be held tomorrow morning.

Apple's WWDC Event 2010: My Predictions

It's that time of the year again: WWDC 2010, where Apple will unveil their new hardware, software, product price drops, etc. WWDC is basically an early Christmas for Apple fanboys, as well as anyone out there that enjoys Apple products. Over the past few months there have been countless rumors and predictions on what people believe Apple will unveil at this keynote. The WWDC event will be held from June 7th - June 11th.

In this video, I provide my predictions on what I believe Apple will release at this event, as well as what I believe they will not release.

YouTube Partner: My Experience

Ever wonder how many videos, video views, channel views and subscribers it takes to become a YouTube Partner? While there is no road paved with specific instructions on what it takes to become a Partner, I will share with you my experience in becoming a Partner for YouTube. In this video I provide you guys with the date that I applied, the date I was accepted, and the specific stats that my channel accumulated over time. This video is not a guideline to what your channel should look like; it is simply advice and/or insight toward my side of things. I don't advise anyone to ONLY strive for money with YouTube for multiple reasons. YouTube began as a hobby for me, and whether I were to earn money or not, I would still enjoy making videos.

Opera Mini 5: Android App Review

Personally, as a year long Android user I have to say that I am particularly amazed at how great the Android OS has come along in this past year. Wednesday morning, the company that has created the somewhat popular Opera browser have released their beta version of their new Opera Mini Browser for the Android OS. It has been known for quite some time how the default internet browser on android devices are lacking in substance. It would seem that Opera has stepped up and proven that their Opera Mini 5 Beta browser is a contestant amongst the few popular browsers on the Android OS such as the Dolphin Browser. Here is a video of my review of the Opera Mini 5 Browser for Android, hope you enjoy!
