In speaking with ATT tonight I learned that my account was not configured correctly and now it is apparently. I still had a MediaMax (Cingular) data plan attached even though I had selected the iPhone data package as well as 1500 text messages. Neither were there.

AT&T has completely deflated the iPhone experience for me
June 30th, 2007 · 5 Comments · apple, gadgets and technology

I was in the middle of shooting an uboxing video but that clearly is far from time relevant now [...]

Google To Acquire GrandCentral
June 25th, 2007 · No Comments · VOIP, marketing, software
I woke up to discover (to be confirmed) via Techcrunch that Google has acquired GrandCentral for $50 Million. I’m a GrandCentral happy customer and am psyched to see this news. Combining GrandCentral with my existing use of the Google Suite will just make connections that much stronger.
Congratulations Grand Central!

This morning Jeff Pulver asks whether Facebook has become the new AOL which led to a sudden (though brief) aha! for me.
Perhaps this is why I don’t get it as much as I think I should. There are many more non-techies here than in other groups in which I’ve participated - it’s [...]

I know it’s not out yet and no one has really touched or used it who can say anything but there are a few details I think will seriously make a difference in favor of iPhone vs other devices.
