UPDATED: Sprint Finally has its iPhone Killer

UPDATE 5/12/10: The Evo will go on sale on June 4th and will cost $199.99 with a contract.  4G access will run you an additional $10/mo and the ability to act as a mobile hotspot will be an additional $29.99/mo.

Original Post:
OK, Sprint has tried to kill the iPhone several times. The Instinct, the Palm Pre, the HTC Hero, and now the HTC Evo, the first phone in America to run on a 4G network.  But, something tells me that they may have actually pulled it off, this time.

The HTC Evo runs the popular Android OS, downloads files at 4G (read: DSL-fast) speeds, becomes a wi-fi hotspot for up to 8 devices, has a 4.3 inch High Definition screen, visual voicemail, wi-fi capable, proximity and motion sensors, multi-tasking and has two (2) cameras.  One, is an 8 megapixel camera on the back, and the other is a 1.3 megapixel camera that can be used for video-calling, live video streaming to the Internet or even a mobile visit to chatroulette.com. Did I mention it has a kickstand so that you can place it on a table and watch High Definition video on the go?

Check out the new HTC Evo at Sprint.com.

Here's my Flying Car! Almost.

So, when we last spoke, I was kind of hard on society for failing to provide us with our flying cars. Well, it turns out that Martin Aircraft Company Limited is launching the Martin Jetpack as a commercially available device, this year. The device will run on regular gasoline, so no worries about purchasing jet fuel. It will travel about 31.5 miles at an impressive 63 MPH. Apparently, it may be possible for the device to travel faster than that, but FAA regulations required that Ultralight Aircraft travel at a speed of 63 MPH or slower. The device is also capable of reaching an estimated altitude of 8,000 ft.

Switching from Windows XP to Windows 7. Painless?

Today, I took the leap and upgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 .  The experience was much smoother than what I expected.  If you Google "Windows XP to Windows 7" you will get warnings that this is not for the faint of heart, or advice to let a professional do it, and on and on. My experience was not that bad.  I have a Dell Latitude D820, which is a Dual Core Processor running at 2.17 GHz with 2.99 GB of usable RAM out of the 4 GB that's physically installed.  This is because I have an x86 processor that is only capable of running a 32 bit Operating System.  Which, in turn means that my processor can't interpret more than 2.99 GB's of RAM, no matter how much is installed.
