Raw and sometimes unedited notes based on my experiences with VMware, Thin Clients, Linux etc.
I currently use a C600 from Orange here in the UK - It also runs Tom Tom Mobile 5 amongst other things...
So here in Australia we might be one of the first countries to have the iPhone unlocked and provided by two Carriers? (Optus and Vodafone) BUT - only if you are prepared to wait until the end of the year? Please..... anyone I know who is seriously interested in the phone has already arranged one from elsewhere. BTW, a colleague recently found out how delicate the glass screen is, OUCH!! So I would have provided more of a quote for this story but it appears that MISaustralia.com has come up with a ......
So from a note on Jason Langridge's blog about Mobile 2.0 I started looking deeper at some of the recent developments in the mobile world. Of particular note is the presentation embedded below from Rudy De Waele of m-trends.org and I would encourage anyone who is remotely interested in where things are heading with regards to mobile usage, Internet and information services to review this. | View | Upload your own Rudy definitely appears to have a finger on the pulse of what's going on in the rapidly ......
Holy Smokes Batman, what wont you be able to do on the go? Considering that this quite likely eclipses the resources that you would have typically used for a Server a decade ago? What with Samsung now looking in to running a hypervisor on mobile devices and the ability to actually run a web server as well - it make me wonder what's next? The only thing that's still missing is a new and innovative way to communicate to the device, I'd love to be able to bypass the keyboard if we could just find a ......
So it's an interesting way of Google to release their mobile offering in an Emulator/SDK download to stimulate interest before the actual hardware - and it certainly won't hurt that they've put $10m up for grabs for potential developers? Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project Getting Started Learn about Android Download the SDK Join the community. Participate in our discussion group through email or the web. The Android Developer Challenge will award $10 million to developers who build great ......
I must confess that I noticed a colleague with a HTC Touch a few weeks back and was instantly drawn to "Touch" it, it wasn't the actual Touch interface that did it, it was the size and elegance of the design - very sweet, almost like a case of "if Apple did black mobile handsets, this is what it would/should look like" So I recently made a slight deviation on the way to a Clients just to call in a shop that has the Touch so that I could have another look and feel - and I have to say that my gadget ......
Hi All, I have been posting both at this site as well as at my new blogging home of www.techagility.info for a few weeks now, and although I still have some tweaking to do on the graphics side of things, it's time to open the doors for all. I will probably still drop the odd post this way, but essentially all is now going to the new site. So the home page is at www.techagility.info and if you are after the feed then you can find it at www.techagility.info/feed See you there? ;-) ......
So, don't fancy lugging the projector with you to that next meeting with the customer? Want to do some impromptu PowerPointing for more than one person while having an informal meeting at Starbucks? No problem, just use your mobile SmartPhone as your projector! Hands-on with Texas Instruments' cellphone projector Now that we have email, internet, TV, GPS, cameras, and satellite radio on our cellphones, our next wish is for bigger, higher resolution screens -- which seems paradoxical, because larger ......
I have long been a fan of Stephen Fry's work even before our stint living in London and his ability to set forth on a diatribe on any number of topics is almost unsurpassed. Here in what I gather is only his second blog post he describes what he considers the faults of all manner of SmartPhones, and I do mean ALL as he is a self-confessed addict for PDA's and SmartPhones Stephen Fry Blessays, blogs and blisquisitions Let Fame » Device and Desires All the big guns want an iPhone killer. Even I, mad ......
continuing on the same theme from Engadget... anySIM is here: open source GUI iPhone unlock app By Ryan Block on unlock Filed under: Cellphones We've seen a couple of early versions of GUI iPhone SIM unlock apps from the open source community, but it looks like the iPhone Dev Team's got its proper release in order. Unfortunately, the app's source code won't be released for a couple days yet, so if you want to see how the Dev Team got from iUnlock (and iUnlock Reloaded) to their "final" anySIM solution, ......

Since around late 2003 I was getting fed up with Vodafone's service at the time in London and was looking to switch, I was also getting somewhat fed up with Nokia's offerings with it's monochrome screens while everyone else was offering colour screens. So I switched to Orange and the MPX 200 from Motorola, not only for it's colour screen, but also the fact that it was a Microsoft device that seamlessly (well sort of....) synched Outlook contacts etc.... Anyway, the point is that since switching to ......
OK, so now I'm really getting confused, is this supposed to be the BlackBerry Killer or the Q-Killer? How can it be the Q-Killer when the Q hasn't even made it out of the box yet? Can someone tell me that? ;-) <sheesh!> What's made by Samsung, runs Windows Mobile 5.0 with AKU2, and looks like the lovechild of a Blackberry 7100 and a Motorola Q? That'd be Samsung's new SGH-I320, which features a QVGA display, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel camera, and MicroSD slot. We'll keep you posted on its expected ......
It just shows that you can't keep the genie in the bottle? Once the device is out there the innovators start getting inventive and can't help themselves looking deeper and trying all sorts of tricks - and the funny thing is that the more successfully you are, the more devices in the public domain, and the more chance that inventive and ingenious folks have got hold of your hardware. One could almost see this as a self fulfilling prophecy? For my 2 cents worth though I think the unlocking is only ......
Well, depending on how things progress over the next month or so I guess I might end up becoming a HP employee now that HP is in the process of acquiring Neoware, and it now looks like I won't be stuck for choice in the Mobile Phone department? ;-) By Sumeeth Evans on Windows Mobile HP announced no fewer than 56 products yesterday at a press event in NYC, most of them refreshing the flagging iPAQ line. Up front we find five devices: iPAQ 900 Series Business Messenger – 3G phone with QWERTY keyboard ......
So this just in this afternoon from Engadget: Rather tasty looking little gadget? And it would appear that little is the operative word? Sony Ericsson is leading its 3GSM charge with the K610, a lightweight (92 grams), thin (17mm) 3G candybar with Bluetooth, dual cameras (2 megapixel for shots, VGA for video calls), and that all-important (for Sony at least) Memory Stick Micro slot. Expect it in Europe sometime in the second quarter ......
