Clearwire Unveils 4G Hockey Equip....I Mean Pay As You Go Service
Clearwire unveiled its 4G wireless service which they call "Rover." Rover is a pay-as-you-go 4G service that lets users have 4G speeds without being locked into a contract. It costs $5 per day, $20 dollars per week, and $50 dollars if you want a month of service. Okay, onto the hockey joke. In order to have the 4G service, you need to purchase something that Clearwire calls a "puck" which connects up to eight users for $150, or a "stick" which connects only one user for $99 bucks. The prices above for the "puck" and the "stick" are for the device itself. The consumer has to purchase that device and also a plan of 4G for daily, weekly, or monthly. =]

Fennec For Android Hits Alpha
Mozilla Firefox Mobile (a.k.a. Fennec) has entered Alpha for Android and the Nokia N900, and, you can definetly tell that it is Alpha. It is unresponsive at best, although the UI is quite nice, as you swipe to the left for windows with previews of each windows, and scroll to the right for more options, such as bookmarking. If Mozilla could make Fennec more responsive, smooth and polished, it could be pushed into beta.

Dell Aero, Why You Shouldn't Buy It
The Dell Aero was recently released, and, it just downright stinks. It runs Android 1.5, has a 624 Mhz processor, has a low-res screen, and a 2, yes 2, megapixel camera. Why you shouldn't buy it: 1. It stinks 2. you could get a perfectly good: mid-range phone in the LG Ally, which runs Android 2.1, a 3.2 megapixel camera, has a hi-res screen, and a real keyboard. Dell's catchline: The world's lightest Android phone. Are you trying to scare customers away?

I Apologize For the Odd Look Of the Site...Sometimes
If you have noticed, at times my site seems to look a little funny. Things are messed up in the sidebar, the posts look different, and so on. This is because I am always experimenting with the look of my blog and am trying to make things better and more proffesional. TBWJ is always under construction, so please, if you notice anything odd, refresh the page. That should fix the problem. Thanks!
