What constitutes an expert?
For years, I've always wondered where news programs find their "experts" on various topics. Some of the things that these so called experts say sound like common sense to me. What makes these people experts? Dictionary.com defines expert as:

Should I switch?
Now that the iPhone is coming to Verizon, I will have to make a decision about sticking with AT&T or moving to Verizon. As I still have an existing plan with Sprint that my wife uses, I don't have to make this decision until this summer (the ETF on my Sprint lines will be a total of $100 which I'll gladly pay to combine my lines once again). In June, like many others, I'll be 1 year into my 2 year AT&T contract putting the ETF at something over $250 which is a bit steep, but I have to consider will I get better service? There is a lot of speculation that lots of people will jump to Verizon and there are others that say that there won't be a mass exodus. At this point, I have no idea what all the unhappy AT&T customers will do.

Review: i-Got-U GT-120
Several weeks ago, Mobile Action Techonology contacted me about reviewing their i-Got-U GPS logging product. I was given the choice of the Bluetooth one or just the USB one; I chose the USB one, the GT-120 because it was smaller and Bluetooth is kind of pointless as you have to plug it in to charge it and I didn't have a use for it as a GPS hooked to my computer. (The Bluetooth one has a much larger battery, however.)

The end of standalone GPS units?
Recently I've started using RunKeeper when I walk the dog as well as when we went to the zoo a few weeks ago. I received email from them the other day indicating that they now support heart rate monitoring via the Fisica Ant+ Sensor key and a heart rate strap like the one I have with my Garmin Forerunner 405. This got me thinking that I could replace my Garmin Forerunner 405
for running. One device down as the RunKeeper software works pretty well; my only issue would be wearing my iPhone in a case on my arm. Will the moisture stay out? Will it be too heavy? I'm not sure, but definitely worth looking at sometime in the future when my 405 breaks (or about $100 lands in my lap).
