Nokia’s N75 - Their first (and only?) US 3G device

March 5th, 2007 · Comments · Personal

Contrary to my previous post about the N95, it won’t do UMTS on a US band… however the N75 will when it finally arrives for Cingular. I look forward to owning this to serve as my pocket 3G modem.

Birdstep SmartVoice - why is this interesting?

March 5th, 2007 · Comments · VOIP, gadgets and technology

Birdstep SmartVoice looks interesting, but I am struggling to understand why you would need it. They are targeting the service provider not the consumer, so I suppose the idea is that a non-UMA device could be enabled to function in that capacity switching seamlessly between wifi for VOIP and cellular as you enter and [...]

Shozu - I miss you

March 5th, 2007 · Comments · gadgets and technology, software

Since updating the software on my N73, I’ve been unable to install Shozu which is probably one of the most used pieces of software I had. I just get an “unable to install” error after downloading and selecting the phone as the install location…
I’ve posted this on the Shozu forum for help, but [...]

Mobile YouTube

March 3rd, 2007 · Comments · gadgets and technology

I had tried the mobile YouTube (http://m.youtube.com) semi-secret URL earlier in the week, but did not have any luck - running into a blocked client page. Last night, however I learned via Stefan, that a slight change to the URL (http://m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo)gets you right in.

I’ve tested this on my N93 through wifi and [...]

Going to MuniWireless?

March 1st, 2007 · Comments · gadgets and technology, marketing

I’ll be in Dallas this Sunday through Wednesday for the MuniWireless conference and speaking on a panel Tuesday on Emerging Portable Devices which should be quite cool.

Firefox - 3.0a3pre

March 1st, 2007 · Comments · software

For the heck of it I decided to install Firefox 3.0a3pre aka Minefield. Aside from the semi scary name and icon, it’s amazingly fast - seriously. I can see some odd text displaying on Google Reader - my subs are bold, but otherwise and so far it’s looking good.
