An Unusually Message

Currently today I was sort of nervous when coming home today because on the bus ride home my phone died so I didn't have no way for communication unless I asked to use somebody's phone. The thing is I didn't need to contact anyone. It's vise versa someone needed to contact me. That person is my grandmother because when I plugged in my phone and when it charge to the point where I could turn it on there was a message from my grandmother. Well I called my grandmother right as soon as i saw the message and she said the usually things about school, friends, and about my household. So she started to ask how my day was then said that she has to go to service at church later on in the evening. That's when she asked me "what are you about to do" then I said I was getting ready to turn my computer on to start my homework. Moving on from that she stated that she needs to talk to me about something later on tomorrow after I get home from school. Hmm it makes me wonder if I'm in trouble or not it's a little scary. now usually my grandmother doesn't contact me because I usually contact her recently so I was very nervous and I still am. Another thing could be that she may be wondering or thinking about what I may want for Christmas. Yes yes yes. Another thing is that I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a positive conversation where I'm going to be happy of the upcoming news. Furthermore there could be a good or bad result of this conversation tomorrow, so this blog will be continued...

Upgrading from a Palm Pre to a HTC EVO, but now reconsidering the Samsung Epic.

I own the Palm Pre that is for Sprint and it's a really good phone for multitasking and completing your goals. The Palm Pre is also easy to navigate when web browsing because it provides full web pages instead of regular web browsers for all average phones. Also the Palm Pre is a smart phone where it allows you to organize all email inbox to pop up a message every time you receive a message from your account. Also the Palm Pre has a built in feature called web os which allows you to have multiple cards open. For example you can have multiple cards open where you can have music, web, photos, games, contacts, phone, messages, and etc. Now the HTC EVO blows the Palm Pre away by a mile and here are some of the comparisons between the two. The Palm Pre has a 3.2 camera, the EVO has a 8.0 camera, the palm has a 3.1 screen i think, but the EVO has a 4.3 screen, also the palm has a built in 8 gb memory, then the EVO has 16 gb install plus it can hold up to a 32 gb memory card. There are endless reasons why to upgrade to this phone it blows the palm away. swoosh... Also I believe that the palm is being discontinue by Sprint because of all of the new phones plus the new 4G services which require a 4G phone. As known from the commercials the EVO 4G is endless as you have a huge variety from android apps. Now realizing the EVO has two cameras, so that means you can video chat. Now the only thing left is to wait for an eligible upgrade or get the new phone for a new present by a very special woman who has moved I miss you grandmom.

Top 10 Electrical Cars Upcoming...

Here's the top ten list of electrical cars...

1. Aptera 2e

If you have been paying attention to the world of electric car start-ups, you’ve heard of Aptera. Although the company’s original intention of reaching volume production by the end of last year never came to fruition, the Aptera 2e lives on. According to recent reports, you can expect to see this car hitting the roads in “volume” by October of 2009.

When: Late 2009 (California Only)

How Much: $20-40K, depending on options

How Far: 100-120 Miles on one charge

2. ZAP Alias

Like the Aptera 2e, the ZAP Alias will sport a design conjured from the bowels of an alien spaceship. Although ZAP just started construction on the facility that will build the Alias last September, the company still swears that the first of these funky 3 wheelers will start rolling off the assembly line by late 2009.

When: Late 2009

How Much: Under $35K

How Far: 100+ Miles on one charge

3. cityZENN (Powered by EEStor)

To be honest, I’ll be blown away if ZENNactually meets the stated delivery date on this one, but if they do… world watch out! ThecityZENN with an EEStor energy storage device on board may not be the prettiest kid on the block… but does a 5 minute recharge time coupled with a 250 mile range sound like a game changer to you? I thought so.

When: Late 2009

How Much: Under $30K

How Far: 250 Miles on one charge

4.Th!nk City

Perhaps the most affordable of all straight up electric cars coming to the US in 2009, theTh!nk City will more than likely sport a battery lease program which will cut down on up front costs and allow you to get a new battery without paying out the yin yang when the old one kicks the bucket. Even though Th!nk has been going through some serious financial problems as of late, it seems that they’ve been given enough of a reprieve to make it through the world financial meltdown — although their target US release date of sometime in 2009 may not be accurate anymore.

When: Sometime in 2009

How Much: Under $25K

How Far: 110 Miles on one charge

5. Plug-in Toyota Prius

With the introduction of the new 2009 Prius at the Detroit Auto Show, Toyota also had a bit of a surprise announcement — a plug-in version of the prius will be available to fleets by October of this year. Although this initial release is only a limited test run, I’d imagine that we will see these plug-in Priuses hitting the general consumer market in the 2010 timeframe. Don’t be too floored yet though, purportedly the test mules can only go 10 miles on battery power alone.

When: Limited release October 2009; general 2010

How Much: Unknown, but you can bet there’ll be a decent price premium above the standard Prius so expect it to be around $28-30K.

How Far: 10 Miles on battery power alone, unknown mileage after battery is drained but probably better than the standard Prius’ 50 MPG.

6. Chevy Volt

If you live in the US, unless you’ve been living in a cave, I’m willing to bet good money that you’ve heard of the Volt. Otherwise known as GM’s sole hope for convincing the US taxpayer to fund a bailout, the Volt actually looks like a very impressive work of engineering. And, to be frank, it’s the only car from a major US automaker in the last 30 years that I would actually consider buying. If GM makes it to the finish line and the Volt reaches the market, there’s a newfederal tax credit of $7,500 that might actually make the thing affordable too.

When: Late 2010

How Much: Estimates have fallen somewhere between $30-48K (then subtract $7,500 for the federal tax credit)

How Far: 40 Miles on battery power alone, something like 50 MPG after that.

7. Fisker Karma

Although the Karma is truly a play toy for the wealthy, you have to admit, if you have the money to buy one of these things, you have a family, and you care about the planet, this may be the perfect car for you. Having just opened a huge design center in Michigan, Fisker seems to be in a good position to deliver on its promises.

When: Second half 2010

How Much: Around $87K

How Far: 50 Miles on battery power alone, total fuel economy of more than “100 MPG.”

8. Tesla Model S

Another play toy for the wealthy, the upcomingTesla Model S promises to be a cheaper follow-up to the instantly recognizable Tesla Roadster. Adding two doors and room for a family while at the same time knocking a ton of money off the price of the Roadster, the Model S has the potential to be a knock out hit with the upper middle class. Tesla has hit a bit of a rough patch with cash flow recently, which may impact the actual delivery date of the Model S. If you want to see a rendered image of what the Model S might look like, you’ll have to click here.

When: Late 2010

How Much: Around $60K

How Far: 240 Miles on one charge

9. Nissan Electric Car

Not very many details on this one yet, but Nissan has recently rewritten their overarching business plan to include a huge focus on electric cars including releasing electric cars in the US by 2010. According to Alan Buddendeck, Nissan’s VP for North American Corporate Communications, the initial electric car offering will be priced between $22-$25K and have at least a range of 100 miles.

10. BMW/Mini Electric Car

At first everybody thought the 2009 Mini Elimited lease meant that a future general market electric car release from the BMW Group would be, of course, a Mini E. But after much acclaim, it turns out that the Mini E is purely a test bed for an upcoming BMW branded electric car and that the Mini E will never see full production. No details are known about any of these future BMW electric models.

When: Sometime in 2010

How Much: Unknown

How Far: Unknown
