Welcome To HotWired!
This is a great walk down memory lane… What’s amazing is experiencing it today over broadband. I recall some serious modem based page loads in pre-1.0 Mosaic!

MIghty Mouse in the house
July 29th, 2006 · No Comments
I ordered the WirelessMighty Mouse when it was announced yesterday and I love it. I’ve usedother wireless bluetooth mice, but this is a keeper. It’s very simple (Apple style) and yet has a great deal of functionality baked in. The stealth second button is pressure sensitive and it magically just works [...]

Nokia BH-800: Small is beautiful
July 27th, 2006 · 12 Comments
I received my new Nokia BH-800 headset last night and man is this thing small. In addition to the diminutive scale, the build quality is excellent and most importantly the sound quality is very strong. I have not been able to test outdoors (the usual killer for headsets) but thus far my calls have [...]

Google Mobile is starting to come together…
They currently reformat pages automatically when you simply type in Google which is handy for Search on the go, but had not enabled the Personalized portal until today.
You can login through the same URL (http://www.google.com/ig) you use on the desktop and if you’ve logged in on the desktop today, [...]

Presence is key
July 16th, 2006 · 5 Comments
There are two interesting things breaking this weekend on the mobile presence scene…
Twittr is from Odeo / Blogger and lets you set up a simple group on SMS. It’s actually very slick especially given how simple it is. You just text your message to the universal short code - 40404 - and everyone in your [...]

Steve Jobs like Jesus?
July 15th, 2006 · No Comments
Jews for Jesus kinda creep me out (full page recruitment ads in the WSJ among other things) in general, but this pamphlet (PDF Download) is simply amazing.

Birdstep - SmartRoaming for Smart Devices
July 14th, 2006 · 2 Comments
One of the things I’ve been looking for since I started using the N91 was a location manager and this seems to fit the bill EXACTLY as I would like to see. According to the release (quoted below), you can easily connect based on location or even application to the network type of your [...]

BMW Audio Books
July 13th, 2006 · No Comments
BMW has launched a site promoting 4 new audiobooks, which I’ve just downloaded. This is a joint promotion from Random House, though BMW retains the branding on things… I’ve yet to listen, but am syncing to my iPod for the train home. This seems like a nice brand extention idea - mobile content to enjoy [...]

N91 Rendered Useless
July 12th, 2006 · 1 Comment
I am not really sure what’s wrong, but my N91 is no longer functioning in a way that enables me to use it. This is seriously disappointing as it is my favorite N-Series unit to date. The N70 has been called back into action from the sidelines…
The N91 seems to be buggy around [...]

N91 - Bug or Feature?
July 10th, 2006 · 5 Comments
I decided recently to use the 4GB drive to store my email as opposed to the (other) internal device memory as I felt it might be best to leave the device RAM open as much as possible…
Today, I tried for the first time in a while to connect the N91 via USB to transfer [...]

Sharepoint through WebDav
July 6th, 2006 · 17 Comments
I’ve previously stated what I think about Sharepoint, but that has no bearing on the fact that I have to use it almost daily. A particular pain for Mac users is that the file browser - Open in Explorer - is not available at all so large folders of files must be downloaded on [...]

Mapping on the go
July 5th, 2006 · No Comments
I’ve been playing a bit with some map and navigation applications on the N91 and think it has some pretty slick applications for on the go navigation as well as just cool info.
WayFinder Navigator is the most comprehensive application I’ve found to date but in order to get the most from it, you’ll want to [...]
