The main (maybe only real) disappointment with the Nokia E61 is the built in PIM functions are pretty weak. Sure you get a calendar and Task manager, but they are not anything like the built-in stuff you find on a Palm – which is my gadget heritage. Today there are no quality [...]

Just caught this on PVRWire…
Nokia has been rumored on the T3.co.uk website to be launching a living room video streaming device.
According to unnamed source on T3 the device will be based on the Nokia’s Audio Gateway and will use WiFi to stream video stored on your cell phone.
That certainly sounds like a waste of [...]

This certainly sounds interesting …
If you connect the dots, Nokia is putting together the pieces for one of the industry’s most ambitious mobile music offers, though the Ngage disaster still probably sends shudders through their corridors. On the content side, Nokia has recruited 40 independent and influential music stores worldwide (including Fat Beats in [...]

Orbitcast reports on the launchh of Sirius Internet Radio, which I really like in theory. What I don’t like is the Windows Media Player requirement which makes the interface on the Mac a total kludge.
You have to use Safari (no firefox) and you have to run the browser and an external [...]

A new version of AutoLock has been released (didn’t notice before). With its inactivity timer down to 10 seconds, it makes a great tool for any 3rd Ed. user.[e61life]
While I have not had any phantom dials, I decided to still use this excellent piece of freeware…

Some VoIP services surpass traditional phones: Good reading from Ars…
I’d actually really like to switch back to VOIP at home, but have a few WAFs (Wife Approval Factors) to consider first.

No digital flicker on the line
No backup for power failures

I’d certainly benefit from paying roughly a third per month from what Verizon gets today.

I stumbled into Rebtel last night while scanning some feeds before bed and think it’s a very cool idea. They assign a local number to you and your calling party in each of your local countries and then you simply call that local number (using your unlimited local calling from your phone plan) and [...]

One of the very cool things about the Nokia E61 is that right out of the box it can handle SIP VOIP calls. Setting this up was surprisingly easy, though manual in nature. To start, you’ll need a SIP phone number which fortunately for Gizmo Project users is already ready for you [...]

The Nokia E61 has very rapidly become my favorite device. It’s got a great (if a tad stiff) keyboard, connectivity galore, tons of memory for apps and a fantastic web browser! There’s a great feature built in which let’s you set up access groups, which means you can define a sort-through order for [...]

I received a Nokia E61 this week and will definitely post more on how much I am loving it but for now let me just say – well done!
i am posting this on the train from the amazing Nokia (webkit) browser and can’t believe how good the overall experience really can be from a small [...]

FrozenSilicon Labs:: PandoraBoy is basically the same as PandoraMan in look and feel, but with added (and most excellent) support for Growl Notifications, the Apple remote (MacBook Pro!) and Global Keyboard shortcuts. I can now stream in the background (over my EVDO connection!) while rating advancing tracks as I go without having to leave [...]

All you Windows fanatics need to get off your high horse for a second and realize what’s happening here. My name isn’t Chicken Little, and I’m certainly not alone in my belief that Leopard is far more compelling than Windows Vista. [Chris Pirillo]

iLounge points to a most exciting new patent application from Apple. There’s no saying when or if this will come to market, but consider me pre-ordered!
A new Apple patent application published today by the US Patent & Trademark Office details a “multi-functional handheld device” that has the ability to quickly switch between multiple operating [...]
