Testing the AT&T EDGE Data Network Today
At the suggestion of Doug in DC, who posted a comment today in defense of AT&T’s EDGE data network, I tested the data speed of AT&T’s EDGE network, using the iNetwork Test for iPhones that Doug had suggested. My tests were conducted in northern Virginia, between Arlington and Fairfax, just outside Washington, D.C. Sitting within [...]
iPhone Original Vs. 3G, Part 2
No blog posting I have ever written before has sparked as much controversy as “iPhone Original Works 3G … Anywhere But America.” As you can see, there have been comments posted in response that explain everything from the inner chips of the iPhone, and technical specifications of mobile phone systems in Europe to outright outrage [...]

Apple iPhone 3G Update

The New iPhone 3G
Readers of this blog and friends have asked my thoughts about the new Apple iPhone 3G that was unveiled, as expected, by Steve Jobs last Monday. Well, I admit that I’ve been dragging my feet a little while I learn more about the new iPhone. Now, a few words: 1. I believe David Pogue of the [...]
