Droid vs iPhone vs Palm Pree vs MyTouch: Total Cost of Ownership
Wow, that was a long title, but this is exactly what it says, a comparison of all these phones and what it might end up costing you in the long run.
Its hard to really condone some of these phones simply because, not only are they wicked expensive, but in order to fully realize their potential, you have to buy into data plans that (per MB) are way more expensive than the data connection going to your house. [Remember this?]
Billshrink.com has put together a nice little huge image that captures a lot of the finer details of what these devices shake out at.

Five Reasons to be Skeptical About Your Finances
This is a guest post by Al Jacobs, the author of OnThe MoneyTrail.com.
Do you regard yourself as a skeptic? Does a clever advertisement or plausible testimonial convince you to buy a product, or do you normally suspend judgment until you can check it out? If you fall into the latter category, you’re a skeptic—and if so, it’s a good thing, particularly in managing your money. The world of finance is a hazardous place, perhaps more so today than ever before. You’ll need to be extra cautious if you want to avoid losing your shirt. Let me describe five areas in which you must exercise skepticism.

Ally: New Bank on the Block
There is a new bank on the block that seems to be making waves as all the other banks flounder. Some are starting to recover but Ally Bank was able to jump in when the getting was good. They also have the unique position in having a perfect traffic record if only because they are younger. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, its actually a great place to be.
Ok, maybe its technically not a new bank, they used to be GMAC and changed the whole brand last May, but the whole new persona and semblance of being a younger, nimble, “hip” bank is probably going to do wonders for them. Older more “wiser” banks have been shown to be full of greed and malice and Ally hopes to stay away from that.
The data sheet on what you can get through them as far as services aren’t necessarily mind blowing but they are definitely competitive. And since they have few competitors, they aim to stay around. At this time, their online savings account has a higher interest rate than most money markets. Worth a look!

Getting the Most Out of Selling Your Car
These are a selection of tips from the experts at AutoTrader.com.
Tips For Creating Online Ads When Selling Your Car
Post quality photos. The picture you take of your car is the first and possibly only thing a potential buyer will see. Make sure you:
- Photograph your car in daylight. Photos taken at night tend to make people think you’re hiding visible defects.
- Avoid reflections and shadows from the sun and trees.
- Photograph your car from the corner of the front bumper. This angle gives a good view of the entire car.
- Park your car against a flattering backdrop. People look at the entire photo, not just the car so take your car to an empty, clean parking lot if necessary.
- Ensure your car is clean and neat in appearance. Getting a $4 car wash before you take the photo can make a big difference.
- Post multiple photos which showcase any special features about your car.

Family Financial Strategies: Credit Card Use
This is a guest post by Al Jacobs, the author of OnThe MoneyTrail.com.
A running debate continues over the use of credit cards. Much of the controversy involves matters like annual fees, interest rates on the unpaid balance, and the use of an account to establish credit. Articles abound on charge strategies to secure tax deductions for otherwise nondeductible interest payments. There are even dissertations explaining how balances due on one card can be financed for prolonged periods through borrowings on another. Much of the information is of marginal value, and some is preposterous.
Here’s the straight word: The lower the annual fees and charges, the less you pay each year. Some banks and other organizations offer a card without a fee. If so, grab it. In case you cannot find a free one, shop around for the lowest price. In this regard, let me offer the philosophy of “Cheap Charlie,” a one-time Huntington Beach, California, shopkeeper who operated on the stated principal: “You can’t beat cheap” certainly words to live by. As an aside, Charlie closed up shop during an economic downturn; perhaps his prices rose too high. Nonetheless, make certain it’s not merely the first year’s fee which is waived. Also give thought as to whether the card is sufficiently usable. MasterCard and Visa are universally accepted; American Express, Diners Club, and others are of less value because fewer businesses accept them.
