It’s been about 2 years since I bought my first smart phone.  It has been an interesting trip so far, and it’s about to get alot more interesting.

I am one of those guys who live in rural America who was glued to the computer screen when Steve Jobs made his iPhone speech.  I can still remember watching him do all these cool things on that phone.  He could pull up maps, touch an address, GPS, call with a touch of his finger, man o man – that thing was cool.  I was amazed, not really by the features – because I h

ave used a Windows smartphone before, and most of those things could be done on one of those.  I was amazed at how SMOOTH that phone was.  The coolness factor.  I was hooked, i needed to get one.  I wanted one so bad that I was ready to jump ship from Verizon to At&t.

My real disappointment came when I pulled up AT&T’s coverage map.   No way, not even close.  I wouldn’t be able to even talk on the iPhone let alone use it for any kind of surfing.  My options were gone, and so were the hopes of getting an iPhone.  That exclusivity deal Apple made with At&t would ensure that it would be years before I could get my hands on a Verizon iPhone.

Well it’s been years, and many smartphones!  From Blackberry Storms, HTC Touch Pros, Samsung Omnias, Motorola DRIODS, DROID2, and DROID x!  It’s now time to finally get my iPhone!

Unfortunately I am not as happy as I once would be.   When the iPhone finally hit Verizon, I did not feel the same `I need you now` type of feeling.  Let me explain.  The DROID phones have really filled a big gap in my smartphone life.  I was a DROID1 fanatic, loved the phone – it did so many neat things, and synced with my Gmail stuff perfectly.  I could put an Contact in my Gmail Contacts and in no time they would be on my DROID.  The only reason I upgraded to a DROID x is because I dropped my DROID1 on Interstate 35W in MPLS off my Motorcycle.  Otherwise I probably would still have that phone.

Now my DROID x has a cool car holder, with a bunch of cool apps that I can use while I travel.  I bought all other kinds of apps that work well with my hobbies like Remote Desktop, SSH, measuring GPS apps, Running GPS apps that keep track of my run times, and the list goes on.  I have become pretty attached to my phone, and am a little sad to see it go.

With all that said I can’t help but think what it would be like if i didn’t give the Verizon iPhone a try.  So i’m going to take the plunge.  I think it will be a fun ride, and I am really excited.  I just hope it lives up to the hype in my head.

How about you?  Are you taking the plunge?

P.S. Don’t worry,  I will keep up on the DVD to DROID.  I know lots of you out there really like it.  I’m glad, that’s why I made it!

Recently I have been working with a Mitel 5330 IP phone.  These phones have a port on the back for a headset.

I had an old plantronics headset laying around (not the amp, just the headset) and I hoped that by plugging it into the back, it would work for this phone.  After all, one of the main features of this phone was the Headset-readiness.

That old Plantronics headset did not work.  So I benched the idea for a while until I ran across a product on Amazon called the T100 Headset.  This headset said it would work for VOIP Headset ready phones, so I gave it a try.

It seems to work pretty well.  The sound is not as `full` as those with the amplifiers, but for $19.95 it was a great purchase.  (Those amplifier types start at around $80)

Check it out from Amazon below.

Update fixes some issues with black bars and scaling.  Implements new stretching of video to 16:9 regardless of screen format.

Give it a try today!

I was skeptical when I read about people making thousands a day from Clickbank alone. But I started to believe when I found a few little secrets that helped me generating more than I expected.

As we all know Clickbank is the world’s largest marketplace to buy and sell digital products. There are over 10,000 digital products you can choose from. You will earn up to 75% commissions when you promote any Clickbank products including e-books, software programs, paid surveys program, home business and many more. You can start promoting as soon as you register Clickbank account.

Unfortunately, people always think they can choose and sell any Clickbank products. This is not the right way to generate consistent income from Clickbank. Even though, Clickbank has thousands of products but it doesn’t mean you can promote all of them. You are wasting your time if you choose the products randomly. You cannot simply promote all the products that looks promising as the fact is you need to do some research. You need to find out the products that give you the most dollar value per sale. Check out the gravity, earned per sale, popularity rank, commission and percent for sale.

You don’t need thousands of visitors every day. It’s not necessary at all. 100-200 visitors per day is just enough for you to make sales. You don’t even need a blog to create Clickbank success. You only need a very good “selling page” that can attract the correct visitors. Simple.

Read again and again this Clickbank secret formula: “To make tons of money from Clickbank, all you need to do is target the correct people, and create a simple product review website that will effectively convince them to buy immediately”.

This guy has done this, and has a simple step by step.
