Motorola Droid vs. HTC Touch Pro 2

Someone recently asked me if they should buy the Motorola Droid or the HTC Touch Pro 2 for Verizon Wireless. I will come back to this later and add some more thoughts and differences, but here is my preliminary list for anyone that is wondering if the Droid or HTC Touch Pro 2 (TP2) is better for them.

Motorola Droid versus HTC Touch Pro 2 for Verizon Wireless:

• Droid has much faster web browser than Touch Pro 2
• Droid has a much better application store (though you pay for each app)
• Droid has a slightly better camera, and has a flash, which Touch Pro does not
• Droid is slightly smaller and weighs slightly less than the Touch Pro 2
• Droid's touch screen is definitely more responsive than the HTC
• The resolution/picture quality is equal on the two devices
• I already found some bugs in the Droid , had problems getting Exchange calendar working and there are a few other complaints floating around about Droid Bugs.
• HTC Touch Pro 2 has a way better physical keyboard than the droid. There is no comparison on just how much better the HTC's physical keyboard is than the droids.
• Exchange integration is better in the HTC Touch Pro 2, for instance, in Droid, if you get a calendar request, you can only accept it or deny it from the calendar, where with HTC you can accept right from the email.
• Touch Pro 2 is a world phone, Droid is USA CDMA only
• From a business perspective, I think the HTC Touch Pro 2 has a better home/navigation system with displaying calendars/contacts/weather/etc.
• Droid does not allow you to set up signatures in emails, like "sent from my mobile phone" unless you are running Exchange Server 2007 with server side support
  
• Droid requires you use gmail or at least have a gmail account to access some of its features (HTC does not)
• Droid does not support Excel XLS and Adobe PDF natively, you have to purchase a seperate app (cheap) for them.
  

I think that Verizon will provide much better support and future updates for the Droid though, the windows phones they tend to leave alone and never update.

Although I like both devices, I would currently say that the HTC Touch Pro 2 has the edge as a business device. The Droid has an edge on the consumer front.

I may come back and add more thoughts about the HTC Touch Pro 2 vs. the Motorola Droid later on.

Stupid Sh*t I have Seen in Resumes

One of my not-so-pleasant job functions is to review resumes and pre-screen candidates. Over the years, I have seen a ton of ridiculous things, from poor spelling and grammar to sentences that just make no sense. I decided I would start posting them here for the world to view.

Post in the comments if you have seen any that are just too good not to pass along. I will update this list when I have time.

Companies that Steal Intellectual Property for Website Design

I decided to write this post because I am so freaking tired of chasing down these idiots that steal website content from me. I will update it as time goes by with various companies that I find that steal my (or my company's) intellectual property. So, if you "borrowed" white-papers, website text content, blog content, or stolen images from any of the dozen websites I own, expect to ultimately see your name posted up here.

I constantly battle with these a$holes trying to get my content removed, but at least I can start to put a list together of crappy companies that suck, so if anyone is interested in hiring them, they may find my list and make an informed decision. FYI: Most of the companies are from India.

If you see yourself on this list, please drop me a comment, beg for forgiveness and remove my content from your site, and maybe, just maybe, I might remove you from the list.

My List of website content thieves:

• www.indiamart.com and the website designer: www.intermesh.net. These idiots stole custom made graphics off of my company's website (Source One Graphic)
  
  Registered Graphic Thief: Technical Contact: IndiaMART InterMESH Limited Domain Administrator (domains@indiamart.com) +1.1202424945 Fax: +1.1202424943 B-1, Sector 8 Noida, DELHI 201301 IN
  
  
• http://sages.win.mofcom.gov.cn/ this company in China copied text right off my company's site. Not sure if the use of .gov is the same in China, but I would not put it past the government over there to steal content either. (original content, which I have now started to modify)
  
  Unfortunately I can't track cn domain thieves
  
  
• www.ready-sourcing.com/ready-sourcing/strategic-sourcing.html - These guys suck as well, stole the same page that the Chinese company above stole.
  
  This thief paid to hide their registration information for the domain name.
  
  
• Removed by blog author - This horrible blog is set up to look like a company website and it appears that every page is stolen right off of some other company's website.

• More to come!!!

Feel free to drop some comments if you want to tell the world about someone that stole from you.
