I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy this wonderful time with your family and friends. Have a great 2011!
Happy Thanksgiving!
The year has just flown by, don’t you think? In just a few days it will be Thanksgiving Day. I have many things to be thankful for, specifically my family, friends, and workmates. How about you? Have you stopped for a bit and reflected on your past year? You may be pleasantly surprised at how your year has been so far. I know that it may have been rough for some of you, but be thankful that you have survived.
Looking forward, are you ready for “Black Friday” and the upcoming Holiday season? Plan well and enjoy the season.
End of the Sony Walkman
Do you remember cassette tapes? The production of Sony Walkman Cassette players has ceased. I have fond memories of these devices, especially when I traveled. This was the precursor to the CD Walkman and the current mp3 players. The headphones were very bulky at first, and then became smaller as demand started to grow. The devices themselves started out quite bulky and then slimmed down quite a bit too. I also remember making my mixed-tapes from my record albums and listening to them on my walkman. What are your memories?
Using the HTC EVO hotspot
I’ve had my HTC EVO for just under 3 weeks, and you know what? The phone is HOT! One of the reasons I wanted this phone is to use its hotspot capability. I am using this feature rignt now as I’m adding this post. Of course, it’s not as fast as my wi-fi speed at home but this will work. I am truly mobile. My daughter used the iPad in the car and was able to watch youTube videos. Way Cool! This phone is the one to get. The Android system will continue to gain ground in the smartphone arena.
I have the HTC EVO!
Accolades go to Sprint for being first to bring us a 4G phone! Plus, delivery of the phone was insanely quick. I ordered the phone early Thursday morning and received it on Friday just after noon. As you know, I’m in Hawaii too so the phone came in quick. Activation went smoothly, connected to my Exchange Server and all my contacts and calendar appointments came in. Droid is here to stay. I’ll provide more updates as I continue to learn about my HTC EVO 4G phone.
See ya!
I want the Sprint HTC EVO!
Update 7/1/2010: I have ordered my HTC EVO online at sprint.com! I can’t wait for it to arrive!
Update 6/18/2010: Best Buy is accepting pre-orders on a White HTC EVO to be released on July 11, 2010. Best Buy will exclusively provide the White HTC EVO until August. Go to Best Buy now to pre-order yours now! I’m waiting until July 1, 2010, that’s when I’m able to upgrade my current Blackberry phone. I hope the phone will still be available for pre-orders!
Sprint released the 4G HTC EVO today. I’m not eligible to upgrade my phone until July 2010 so I have to wait just a little while longer. I really want the phone, can anyone tell me their thoughts on the phone which will make me go and get it now? Let me know, I love to get new breakthrough technology.
Featured Neighborhood – Pearl City
Pearl City is an older and well established neighborhood in the Leeward area of Oahu. This is my hometown and it hasn’t really changed much. Some of the homes have aged quite a bit, but a lot of them have been maintained very well. Many of my classmates have married and moved back to Pearl City and are now sending their children to the very same schools we attended.
Shopping options have grown as there is now a Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Babies ‘R Us, and Best Buy to name a few. Eating choices have also grown with Zippy’s, Gyotaku, Makino Chaya, and many fast food restaurants.

HTC Evo to be released June 4, 2010
Sprint has announced that the new HTC Evo 4G phone will be released on June 4, 2010. I’m excited about this for a number of reasons. The first is that this phone will provide users 4G access on their phone, and has the capability to become a mobile hotspot. What this means is that when you enable this option, you will be able to connect your wi-fi enabled device to your phone and access the internet. Your wi-fi enabled device may be your laptop, iPad, or even your Nintendo DS. Instead of subscribing to a plan for a mobile aircard for your laptop and a data plan for your 3G iPad, you can use your phone as a single point of connectivity. This phone also provides an HDMI output so you can display images to your flat screen TV, and also provides 2 cameras. There are some new fees for the 4G and hotspot access, but still seem reasonable for what this phone will offer. I’ll provide more updates as the release date gets closer and I’m able to get my hands on one.
