ProClip car mounting components for iPhone & HD7 arrived
Yay. ProClip sent components to mount iPhone and HTC HD7 phones in my car (one at a time, not both at the same time). I’ll provide a full review after I learn if installation is really as easy as ProClip claims.Thanks to ProClip for providing their products for evaluation.

Subaru sponsored MapMyDogWalk iPhone App. But, what does it have to do with dogs???
I’m always interested in learning tech related to pets. So, I took a quick look at this Subaru sponsored free iPhone app: MapMyDOGWALK. The app tracks your walks like a bazillion other geo-pedometer type apps. But, here’s the thing: What does the app have to do with dogs other than encouraging the dog’s human to take it for a walk?It does not provide locations of dog parks, suggest walk routes/durations based on breed, list health information based on weather/age/etc. I don’t see an incentive for a person already using an app like RunKeeper to consider using this Subaru sponsored app for dog walks.

The Starbucks iPhone app is going away. But, where is the new one?
The most used mobile ecommerce app on my iPhone is Starbucks Mobile Card app. The app is currently issuing a messages telling users that it will be discontinued soon and to install the new app. However, if you tap the banner as instructed to get the new app, you are led to the App Store entry for the current app (the one that says it is going away). So, what is going on?
It looks like the replacement app is buggy or, from the point of view of the end-user, non-functional and was pulled from the App Store. Here are some comments on the current’s app’s product page:

Hmm. T-Mobile USA providing more support for unlocked iPhones from AT&T starting Jan. 30?
Food for thought from TmoNews:
T-Mobile To Offer Additional Unlocked iPhone Support Beginning January 30th
Ever since AT&T Wireless announced “improved” cell sites in my area, my 3G download and upload speeds have FALLEN dramatically. Download speeds are a bit over 1995 ISDN-BRI speeds at the moment. And, there are large areas where no apparent data bandwidth is available (no email, browsing, etc.) despite AT&T 3G signals being “detected” by my iPhone 4. Others have noted the same problems in the same problem areas I’ve noticed. This problem has been going on and getting worse since November 2011.
I’m keeping an eye on this development.
