Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Hee. And also obviously I can't get rid of the smart apostrophes. Hmm.
It's an LG ENV3, omnis. Not a smartphone, just a wannabe, but it's a big step up for me. Of course, Droid was available when I went in, and with Verizon's proprietary junk I wish I'd gone that direction instead. Just can't afford the extra required data plan.
I have no base of reference to help you with that one. Good luck.

itwbennett writes "Google is giving you something to be thankful for as you travel this holiday season. The company announced today that it is offering free Wi-Fi at 47 airports across the US between now and January 15. If you haven't booked your flights yet, you want to factor this into your plans. Here's a list of the 47 airports, which cover about 35% of all US passengers, according to Google. The Burbank and Seattle airports will continue to offer the free Google Wi-Fi indefinitely."
The HuffPo notes another altruistic note in Google's gesture: "As another way to pass on the spirit of the season, once they log on to networks in any of the participating airports, travelers will have the option [of making] a donation to Engineers Without Borders, the One Economy Corporation, or the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. Google will match the donations made across all the networks up to $250,000, and the airport network that generates the highest amount per passenger by January 1, 2010 will receive $15,000 to donate to the local nonprofit of their choice."
I finally got my beloved iphone last night since my krazr bit the big one. i have a couple of questions. 1)is there a particular reason the 3GS doesn't charge while connected to itunes/my computer? what sense does that make? 2)my fm tuner i used with the itouch also doesn't charge while i'm listening. is there one available that will?
is there a particular reason the 3GS doesn't charge while connected to itunes/my computer?
Do you have it plugged in directly to your computer, or are you using a USB hub?
not using a hub. just plugging the usb cord directly into the laptop.
tiggy, your usb port might not be powerful enough to charge the iphone.
huh. well that sucks.
Tiggy -- is your laptop plugged in or are you running off the battery?
hmm...at first it was unplugged, but then i plugged it in when the battery started dying.
