Ajit Pai doubles down on killing Net Neutrality. Low cost, government subsidized Android phones are LOADED with malware. ISP’s can no longer charge your for modems and routers they AREN’T leasing to you. Google might FINALLY deliver a competitor to AirDrop.
And let’s wrap up a week of gadget news from CES 2020!
Let’s get our tech week started off right!

I’m a sucker for putting a LOT of computer into a SMALL shell.

We shot a Newegg video on the Segway Ninebot S, and I thought I’d share a few thoughts on my first ride. I just wish I’d gotten more footage of me shaking when I first stepped on. It must have looked funny.
Not a full review, but I always loving having work outside! Let’s take it for a test drive! Continue reading “Segway NineBot S Test Drive: I didn’t wipe out!”
We’re looking at an analyst report, so it goes without saying that these numbers should be taken with a fairly large rock of salt. That said, this report reinforces a handful of other sales reports and anecdotal examinations of the mobile market. Manufacturers go to great lengths to hide actual sales data these days. Shareholders don’t seem much interested in facts, as much as they are the perception of the brand, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t dig a little deeper.
Flurry Analytics published a report on device activations in North America over the month of December, focusing on the lead up to Christmas day, and how those activations changed from Christmas to New Years.
Out of all the individual brands sold in this region, it’s not too surprising that Apple topped the charts. Overall, Android outsold iOS, but only one company makes iPhones. Apple significantly outsold every other phone manufacturer this year.

Battle of the “pro” phones!
We can get a stunning amount of work done from our phones these days. I truly believe that phones are powerful enough to replace laptops for a LOT of consumers out there. However, when a company slaps a “pro” label on a phone, that should set our expectations a bit higher. Apple always makes bold performance claims, and has been one of the most visible companies to showcase mobile video production and content creation.
How does the iPhone 11 Pro stack up against a premium Android? It’s time for a showdown!

Test driving the Sony A7iii!
I’m so used to shooting on phones, it was refreshing to take a Sony mirror-less out for a spin. Our holiday memories this year are looking REALLY good. After a couple weeks, I’ve got some thoughts to share on this monster camera body, which completely deserves all the praise it’s been receiving.
Is it good enough to convince me to switch? Let’s take a look!
