I am old enough to remember party lines. Each house down our country road had a distinctive telephone ring and all were connected to one phone line. If you picked up the phone to make a call and heard someone talking, you hung up and waited until they were done. We have come a long way in telephone communications. The Smartphones of today not only let you make a phone call from almost anywhere in the world, but allow you to perform a variety of digital functions including checking e-mail, surfing the web, taking and sending photos and videos; and, increasingly, perform a variety of agricultural related functions. Advances in wireless coverage and technology and increasingly sophisticated Smartphone applications are providing farmers with amazing new tools.
This blog is a place where the newest wireless hardware and applications will be reviewed and evaluated from the perspective of agriculture. These reviews will be based on actual hands-on experience. Our reviews will not be detailed technical reviews, there are plenty of those other places on-line. The reviews here will be practical evaluations based on the kind of situations farmers face.
Check back here often for the latest produce reviews and evaluations of new agricultural applications. We also invite your comments and evaluations of the Smartphones and apps you use.
