What can the Church Learn from HP and IBM?
Newsflash, IBM no longer makes typewriters. HP has (mostly, we think?) killed off their mobile device/WebOS division. Both have taken bold steps in the last several years.

Tough day if you just bought a TouchPad…

MinistryTech Minute: LG Quantum for AT&T…
The LG Quantum is a Windows Phone 7 smartphone from AT&T. Based on build and features, you could make a case for the Quantum as the “flagship” for the platform on AT&T. My overall impressions 24 hours in are that this is a smartphone that has a lot of potential, that the OS doesn’t yet…
