November 28th, 2006 · 3 Comments · gadgets and technology

Only for the very brave… The NokiaBlog gives a run down on how to update the firmware on your stock N73 to make it work like the music edition.

November 26th, 2006 · No Comments · Gmail, gadgets and technology, moblog

Just doing a bit of email and noticed that Gmail now has a call action option as a reply… a nice and actually expected addition considering you do it from the phone.
I did not know apps could be updated automatically — pretty cool.

Things I learned in Iceland

November 22nd, 2006 · 3 Comments · travel

The people are very nice…
There are only about 300,000 of them
It’s apparently temperate most of the time and had not really snowed since like 1998
You’d never believe that looking at my pictures since there’s currently a ton of snow everywhere and it’s pretty damn cold
The flight time is similar to heading to the west coast [...]

3 in the UK has announced a pretty killer suite of services on your choice of two high end mobile devices… Why the hell don’t we see anything like this in the US? VCast and MediaNet are not the same … the addition of Skype and means that 3 is savvy enough to [...]

November 14th, 2006 · No Comments · Personal, apple, gadgets and technology

We lost power for a change last night and while I thought everything was working when I left for work, my wife ended up having trouble with connectivity and the cable box. They are not connected in the same place so I ruled that out while troubleshooting over the phone… After running through [...]

Gmail Mobile

November 11th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Gmail

I’ve been playing with Gmail Mobile a bit the past few days and it’s quite excellent. I find the speed in loading messages better than the way Nokia’s built-in email app works since that only initially loads headers and must make a second call to get any messages you choose to read them. [...]
