I’m a pretty heavy iPhone user, the thing is pretty much attached to my hand at all times… but one thing I didn’t expect was how much I’ve come to depend on it while on the road; to get directions, to find a particular store or get restaurant reviews. It’s a fantastically powerful device to [...]
Dash, the web enabled GPS unit is slashing 50 jobs and exiting the hardware business, according to GigaOM.
The futuristic unit pulled data from the ‘net and mashed it it up with turn-by-turn directions - a pretty slick idea, all things considered. In real estate they had deals going with content partners Coldwell Banker (see Dash [...]

Last month in San Francisco was no different. I met people from Canada, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Spain, France and many others, all walking the floors of the [...]
And a fair number of those were bought by real estate professionals I suspect…
Last week at Real Estate Connect, the Flip came up in conversation numerous times and I can’t count how many of them I saw being wielded by content-hungry conference-goers over the three days in San Francisco.

After humming and hawing for a while I picked up the new Panasonic Lumix TZ-5 point and shoot (thanks Jeff) to compliment my Canon DSLR. What ultimately pushed me over the top to buy this camera was the TZ-5’s [...]

Geeks love their iPhones. And I tell you what… as soon as I finish writing about a new iPhone application in real estate (see Terabitz Creates MLS iPhone Site), another one lands on my doorstep.
