While it’s not even possible to run Google Gears on Safari for OSX since it’s not in the release version, we should collectively be thinking about how to get this into S60 devices which also use the Webkit engine in the browser. I’m sure Apple will be figuring out a way to get it [...]

Exporting HD to AppleTV from Final Cut
May 30th, 2007 · No Comments · apple, software
Perhaps I’ve missed something here, but I’ve noticed that when you export an HD project to AppleTV from within Final Cut Express HD, you get an SD format (4:3) file. If however, you first do a full quicktime output (1080i) and then export to AppleTV from within Quicktime Pro, you get a proper 16:9 [...]

Palm Foleo will be a serious miss
May 30th, 2007 · 9 Comments · gadgets and technology
Just my prediction …
I was actually hoping that Palm would really go for it with this new Foleo device, but when I started reading the leaked PR last night one thing stood out which is that it has no connectivity options other than bluetooth which makes it 100% dependent on your phone. This [...]

N95 Offshore GPS Testing
May 30th, 2007 · 4 Comments · gadgets and technology, travel
While boating with my dad this past weekend, I decided to check out the GPS on the N95. As you can see in this video the Nokia Maps application is able to show position relative to land pretty easily (though perhaps hard to see on video) but the Sports Tracker App really gives you [...]

Real World GPS on the N95
May 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments · gadgets and technology
Recently my wife and I were in the car - actually my parent’s car - and the GPS was set for a different region than the one we were within. As a result, we were unable to look up an address we wanted as we needed directions in order to find a place [...]

Podcasting with the Symbian Guru and Phoneboy
May 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Listening, On My iPod and in iTunes, gadgets and technology
I had a nice discussion (mp3) with Ricky and Dameon last night on Nokia and the mobile market. We talked about possible future directions for Nokia, the Internet Tablet and the N95 among other topics … probably something we’ll be doing again soon!
I also created an enhanced version (itunes .m4a) with links and images [...]

Traffic today on the Saw Mill…
May 21st, 2007 · No Comments · travel
Driving home from NYC I encountered quite a bit of traffic … not that unusual, and perhaps not even that interesting. I was able to slide the N95 open and snag this clip..

Testing Video Services
May 18th, 2007 · 7 Comments · software, tv
I was all pumped about Vimeo recently as I like the compression they use for Flash. Viddler seems to do much the same if not even better and gets away with the upload limit — always a good thing. I just realized though that Blip.TV is by far the best for higher quality, [...]

Microsoft said the deal would help it support more advanced advertising products and technologies across areas including media planning, video-on-demand and IPTV. [...]

After the Storm…
May 16th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Personal
There was a major storm this afternoon which included a tornado watch and knocked power out for about 5 hours. While I don’t think that we had any twisters in the area, the winds were serious enough to do some major tree damage. As things cleared, I checked out our yard… Fortunately, these [...]

AppleTV

We’ve had an AppleTV connected in our home now for a few weeks and I’m very pleased with how it works. I currently have a PPC Mac Mini tethered to a 500GB drive as my primary streaming library but have also streamed from my MacBookPro, which has a more current and active list of [...]

Salling Clicker 3.5
May 14th, 2007 · No Comments · gadgets and technology, software
Salling Clicker is an old favorite of mine and was finally updated to support S60v3 devices which means you can run it on quite a few N-Series units including the new N95. I’ve downloaded and installed it and love having the functionality back again.
I now have full remote control of my Mac, [...]

N95 Network Stack issues…
May 9th, 2007 · 3 Comments · gadgets and technology
Phoneboy reports how the network stack on the N95 has been giving him issues. Until last night’s twitter exchange, I was not sure what my own issues were, but it’s clear we are suffering from the same nonsense.
I definitely have had my share of reboots and halts while actively connected. I’ve seen white [...]

No such thing as Free VOD
May 8th, 2007 · No Comments · marketing, tv
I’m sure that’s a bit of an overstatement, but in the case of this deal noted on Cnet with Cox and Disney, it’s very true.
Apparently Disney has offered some key prime-time shows to Cox for their on-demand service in exchange for Cox to deactivate the fast forward function on their cable boxes. Additionally, Cox [...]

N95 Battery makes me want to seek out specific devices…
May 8th, 2007 · 2 Comments · gadgets and technology
A while back I posted about considering a new mobile to use specifically as a modem. I was originally thinking of a second phone to use purely as a 3G device since none of my current phones work on US 3G networks. As I’ve used the N95, I realize that unless I actually [...]
