If you're wondering whether or not the 5s is worth the upgrade from the iPhone 5, probably not.  There's a slight bump in performance, no doubt, but unless you just have to have the latest & greatest, then I'd suggest waiting for the next iteration. However, anything 4s or older, you may want to...

 This is a picture of the ORIGINAL iPhone Model T in the 1950's.    At least I think it was.  I'm not really sure, because I wasn't around then.  But just think, when this phone  was introduced it was the latest & greatest, probably only came in one color, and people no doubt "ooohed  and aaahed...

I finally took the plunge.  The addiction to my 3-year-old Crackberry (a nice phone in it's day) was easily broken once that sleek, svelt iPhone 4S slid into my now-virtual, button-tapping fingers.  The nearly 80 free apps I had downloaded into iTunes (I wasn't excited or anything, was I?) showe...

  Finally!  After what seemed like forever, the long-anticipated iPhone for Verizon is finally going to start shipping in February!     If you use the iPhone in your real estate business, I would welcome hearing all the ways it helps you in your real estate business, and the not so good stories,...

   A couple of months ago I wrote a quick blog post seeking the experience from anyone using either the iPhone or Droid.  Several responded, which was helpful.      I chose to try the Droid X.  Amazing phone.  Does all sorts of whiz-bang things that were very convenient and even useful.     Only ...

                            Droid X Seems like technology is moving at a faster and faster pace these days, doesn't it though?! Manufacturers have made huge strides, even in the last two years.  Apple iPhone, several different Motorola Droids, RIM Blackberry.  Sheeesh!  What to choose?? Apple iP...
