I was thinking back to an earlier post, about AT&T’s 3G coverage. This time around, I finally had a choice to go with Verizon. It’s LTE, which is a better technology (and AT&T’s LTE is probably similar, but there isn’t LTE in Seattle for AT&T.) Here’s the results for my new Verizon LTE iPad (ignore where it says iPhone. I’m using the same app on both the iPhone and iPad, but it’s not a universal app.)

For comparison, I went back and tested my iPhone again, now with a new 4G icon. The last time I did this, just about two years ago, I was about half a mile away from where I’m at now. Two years, and half a mile closer to Seattle, and I get this.

I love Dropbox.
It’s a giant USB drive you can use from anywhere, it’s a great way to keep backups, it’s a great way to share files and it’s free. After spending two hours and 15 minutes on the latest Dropbox promotion for 1 GB of extra space ( I was the 343rd finisher, which was about 15 minutes behind the winner), I thought there has to be a better way. There is – Google Adwords.
