Droid Incredible? Is it incredible enough?

The new HTC Droid Incredible has finally hit the market.  I'll admit, it is definitely incredible.  It's stylish, as most HTC phones are.  It's fast (1GHz Snapdragon with 512MB RAM).  It has an 8MP camera.  It's going to be sweet.

But, it's still not revolutionary as the HTC Evo will be upon its release.  Compared to the Evo, the Incredible lacks a forward facing camera, HD display, HD output, video calling, a kickstand and oh yeah, a 4G Network for extremely high speed data transfers.

Don't get me wrong, the Incredible will be a welcome addition to the Verizon inventory, but it still seems as if only Sprint is poised to take on AT&T when the new iPhone is released.

It will be interesting to see how this is going to play out.

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.

Sony rolls out PS3 Update - Netflix Goodness for Canada

On September 22, 2010 Sony rolled out PS3 update 3.50 which brought the ability to watch Blu-ray 3D movies to the console, and in-game Facebook support.  But what they've also done is enabled disc-less Netflix streaming for their console!!!!!  Wait...not for the US consumer, just Canada.   IGN is reporting that coinciding with the launch of Netflix in Canada on Sept. 23rd, Sony has enabled Canadian users to stream Netflix to their console without the need for a disc.

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.
