HTC Bravo head-to-head with Google Nexus One?

February 8, 2010

When I predicted that Google wouldn’t launch its own phone, one of the reasons I believed it was unlikely was that everything pointed to it being a rebadged HTC Bravo (otherwise known as the HTC Passion).

The iPad and me

January 28, 2010

There’s a million posts around about the iPad today, and there will be a million more tomorrow. My reaction is simply that I’ll be buying one, because I’m a geek, and that’s what I do.

Tumblr is Apple, Posterous is Google

January 19, 2010

Why Tumblr is kicking Posterous’s ass « PEG on Tech: “The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.
