I’m heading south to sunny Florida for vacation with the family today and will likely be blogging very lightly if at all. I’m leaving the laptop at home and only taking my N800 (though with Keyboard). I”ll probably do most of my reading on the smaller screen (which I do plenty of) though [...]

I’m not going to give a full critique on this one, but I have to say I think it’s pretty weak. I’m not sure if they had a cooler than you Creative Team working on this or perhaps it’s a European flavor I’m just not used to seeing. The sad thing is that [...]

Can we start getting seriously frustrated now for real that the iPhone won’t do 3G? Steve said there is not enough coverage… well not anymore and with a 2 yr contract locking you into EDGE, I think people are going to be pissed. BTW — The iPhone is allegedly due on June 11, [...]

As a Mac user, I have not had much exposure to music subscription services, but that has officially changed thanks to the release of Rhapsody for the Nokia N800! In short, it rocks — a killer app for the platform!

Just caught this from News.com … Intel has developed massively long range WiFi via some updated software.
Academics and researchers from the company’s labs have created a system that lets Wi-Fi signals, which ordinarily carry a few hundred feet, instead travel 100 kilometers, or more than 60 miles, said Eric Brewer, director of Intel Research Berkeley, [...]

Some disappointing news coming from CTIA this morning ….
Nokia isn’t building a special US version of this phone - they’ll just be selling the European version direct and unlocked through NokiaUSA.com and at their own stores. That means the N95 will work on T-Mobile and Cingular’s EDGE networks, but won’t be able to access higher-speed [...]

I updated my Nokia N800 yesterday with the v3 software update and wrote a piece over at MaemoApps.com which walks you through the process as well as how to backup and restore your settings which make flashing the hardware a bit less scary.

Oliver Starr just posted something on his blog at the Guidewire Group that has me VERY excited:
Guidewire Connection has just learned via a trusted source within Nokia that the new N95 Smartphone, which is just now beginning to be released across the pond in Europe, is also being produced with a 1900-MHz model - the [...]

I was just reading up on Verizon Wirless’s plans in light of their pending test drive (EVDO is so tempting) and found this lovely note:
Unlimited Data Plans and Features (such as NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, GlobalAccess, Push to Talk, and certain VZEmail services) may ONLY be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; [...]

WordPress updated to 2.1.2.  Kind of a pain and scary to delete everything, but it’s all back online now and hopefully something I don’t have to do for a long time.

Standby for some turbulence.  I think I’ve followed the directions and backed it all up enough … deep breath

Justin.tv: is live and pretty crazy. Justin and crew are live streaming to the web… you can even call in and speak to them while they are cruising around.

I just sent a txt from AIM to Justin and he read my question, answered in voice with the guys in the car and then sent [...]

Once IM support gets back into Twitter that is…
In case you don’t know Fring can let you connect to GoogleTalk, MSN, Skype and now SIP accounts all in one. It does eat a fair bit of memory and works the battery over pretty well while it’s running, but overall it’s a really nice application. [...]

I recently discovered this by accident and when I mentioned it passing last night it’s clearly one of many things about the S60 that takes some exploring to learn.
When entering text in T9 mode, you can get the dictionary to choose a different word while it’s underlined with a simple tap of the * key. [...]
