Sony delivered the hardware! The XPERIA Pro is a BEAST, but we still need to work around mobile software. The main teething pains? Working in a smartphone browser.

Following President Biden’s inauguration, we can finally have a conversation about repairing the damage done over the last four years.
We have a lot of things to fix. It’s going to take a lot of work. It’s time for us techies to join the political conversation in earnest.

Here are some of my thoughts, and some of my favorite experiences, reviewing phones in a strange STRANGE year. Continue reading “There was no phone of the year in 2020!”
