Oct 07, 2017Anyone use an apple watch? I was thinking they were dumb but I got one for my wife recently and she loves it and cant help but think now that it might be nice not to pull my phone out when I get calls or texts.

Oct 09, 2017I hate these with a burning passion, but then again, I'm a regular lurker on watchuseek.com.

Nov 27, 2017I was a big fan of the Windows Phone platform and sad it died. The UI was great along with the live tiles. My first Windows Phone was the Nokia Lumia 1020. I was able to see the phone in development at Nokia and was turned on by the 40MP camera. Then the 1520 and 950XL, after multiple warranty replacements I gave up and moved on to the Nexus 6P, Pixel XL and now Pixel 2 XL.

Oct 25, 2017How prevalent is tablet use by integrator techs? Security personnel at companies?
Is there any preference for a dedicated tablet app vs a browser app that renders well on a tablet?
