It has been a little over a year since I created a new venture with Nicholas Holland. We created Side Hobby LLC after Nashville’s first Startup Weekend to pursue our project gpsAssassin.
When we first started out we were (foolishly, but commonly) optimistic that it would just be a little 3 month side hobby (thus the [...]
No, this is not a post about gpsAssassin (though that would have been a good and appropriate title).
I am talking about Google Maps.
Back in 2006 I first saw Google Maps on a phone with GPS. At the time I had a Sprint a900 and had to do a little hackery to get it to work. [...]
I have been using my iPhone as my sole mobile phone for a full month now. I think that is long enough to know why the iPhone sucks. The problem is that in some ways is it the absolute best mobile device I have ever had.
Notice I called it a mobile device and not a [...]
I had a 9am meeting this morning so I was not able to be one of the first in line for the iPhone. That didn’t stop me from at least checking out the festivities. Here are pictures from the Apple Store in the Green Hills Mall and the AT&T store in Green Hills:

From the iTunes App Store:

I guarantee that we will see a location based match making application for the iPhone before the end of the Summer. Here is how I think it will work…
You will sign up and create a brief profile including a picture, age, and some parameters of what you are looking for (i.e. someone of the opposite [...]
Did you catch what the biggest change is to the iPhone 3G?
No, it is not the namesake 3G chip and it is not push email per se.
Apple has decided to replicate a portion of BlackBerry Server. This opens the iPhone up to outages similar to the ones Blackberry users experience when the BIS/BES servers go [...]
I have to admit I am excited about both iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G.
Those that are not quite as obsessive about mobile technology news may be wondering what the difference between iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G are. While they both sound like the new version of the iPhone that is not quite true. iPhone 2.0 [...]
I am excited to see that Whrrl has a new Blackberry application. I have seen Whrrl before and Chuck was telling me about it last week. When I heard the news about the BB app I promptly signed up and downloaded it.
My big problem with Whrrl is that Nashville, TN is not included [...]
I was just perusing the list of the top 50 applications submitted to the Andriod Developer Challenge. As Engadget pointed out, many of the applications are Location Based Services. That piqued my interest since I have felt location-aware mobile applications are running way behind schedule (the imaginary schedule I setup in my head based on [...]
