It’s not official Toy Story gear, but army men are army men:
Teens love to text. If fact, they have lived in a world that never knew a time before cell phones. So the fact that there is a whole language that has spawned from this device’s impact on the world as well as the fact that it has completely changed the way that we communicate may say something about this powerful tool.
The infographic below shows a great deal of information about how teenagers use texting and cell phones in their lives. It’s kind of amazing to see what their preference of the form of communication is as well as how frequently and where they text from. We must also remember that we are in the age of the smart phone, which includes apps, internet, and social media.
Carrier IQ is killing the interwebs.
Just to be clear, it isn’t a measure of how intelligent our nation’s warships are. No, Carrier IQ has gone from being a fairly benign Android-specific nuisance to being labeled as a consumer privacy menace that has attracted the attention of Congress. And it managed to do that in less than a fortnight.
In proving wrong the adage that “all news is good news,” CIQ has managed to also give us a few lessons in how not to manage a media crisis.
Just what is Carrier IQ?
When the original iPhone was first introduced, I was a BlackBerry toting loyalist. Using a BlackBerry is addicting, and it was easy to turn my nose up at the the gimmicky touchscreen device from Apple. I didn’t get it, and didn’t think it would work.
I was wrong.
The iPhone pretty much changed the landscape, and my appreciation of the device has grown substantially with every new iteration introduced. So much so, that I have actually considered (gasp!) getting one. If you knew me back in my BlackBerry days, you will understand how momentous this is. The iPhone might have the best specs wall-to-wall, and it looks HOT.
And now we have the iPhone 4S.
StrongsSearch was put together by iBibleApps.
Their StrongsSearch app really got my attention. You can search the entire Strong’s Concordance with a few clicks or taps!
It’s entirely web-based as of now, so you can also use StrongsSearch in your desktop browser. Although it would be nice to have the app siting on a mobile device’s internal memory, it could take a bit of memory.
Take a look at StrongsSearch:
Sorry iPhone users.
The word play with iPhone and idol was too good to ignore.
All smartphone users look to be guilty.
As much as we like to be connected, has it become an obsession?
Take a look at these stats:

Once your Church has a web presence and your team is outfitted with computers, an Internet connection and productivity software, your team will need to be outfitted with mobile devices to stay in touch.
For a while, I think all of us wondered whether the much hyped BlackBerry PlayBook was a real device or not.
No one had actually seen a physical device, and no price or release date was announced. Then, we finally heard that it’s going to be priced similarly to the iPad at $499, and should be released on April 19.
When smartphones first came into the market, it was the busy professional that was the target.
Just look at Blackberry and the focus of their devices.
What we’ve seen, is that smartphones are not as business focused as originally thought to be.
