Crazy Internet speeds

Originally uploaded by gt2697

I’ve been using a demo cable modem from my ISP over the last week in an
attempt to determine why my internet speeds at home were so slow. It turns
out, the cable modem may be to blame. I guess these things just go out
every once in a while. Anyway, check out the lightning fast speeds that I
am getting here this week, pretty impressive.

iPhone 3G reception issue

Above you will see photos of the screens of our iPhones. Note that on the left, the iPhone with EDGE has full strength, and the 3G version has nothing. Keep in mind that they are sitting next to each other and the only difference is EDGE vs. 3G. I was convinced that the new iPhone had some serious reception issues as a phone, but once i take the 3G away, it seems to work fine. I wonder if all these new iPhones are overloading the network, or if the radio in the phone is to blame. Either way, I am not happy right now with my 3G on the phone. Thank goodness that the other things about it are making up for this flaw.

One of my employees has the 8GB Black version of the iPhone 3G. Check
them out side by side. I’m still partial to the white version, but the
black is pretty nice looking as well!

Centro. Pretty interesting to look at the similarities between all of
them.

This is a test post from the wordpress app ok the iPhone. I know this isn’t a very exciting post, but rather an example of how well this app works on the phone. I have found that my typing on the iphonen is getting much better as I go and this app will be a viable solution for me in typing posts on the go. Also see the photo that I have attached as well as an example.
