I was able to speak with Alistair Campbell, the CTO of Truphone earlier this week and am excited by what lies ahead for the iPhone as well as TruPhone in general. For starters, you should check the video out at Andy Abramson’s blog that I linked to last night. It’s a bit blurry [...]

Oliver Starr rocking some sweet news via Blognation!!
To say the application isn’t yet ready for prime time would be a pretty major understatement as it currently requires the use of terminal on the iPhone to tell the iPhone to use its on-board SIP stack to place the call over WiFi instead of via the [...]

Nokia is hosting a special event Thursday night in Los Angeles and I am excited to have been invited and to be heading out for the show! I say show, because no one has any official idea of what to expect. I have airline tickets booked and a hotel room for Thursday night [...]

This was incredibly easy to figure out, but still something worth sharing as it substantially enhances the Amazon MP3 store experience if you manage your music on iTunes and sync with an iPod / iPhone. By default, the music will be added to iTunes, but this actually leaves a second copy in the Amazon [...]

There’s a very nice update to Gmail’s Mobile web version today which I just noticed on the iPhone.

As you can see there’s FINALLY a check-box next to each message so you can select a bunch of messages and then act upon them at once. For some reason this was only available in [...]

Did I miss this as a software release somewhere or is this just gadget porn?

Today marks a long awaited update to the Jaiku client for S60 devices. Photos from your contacts now appear in stream which is very cool but even more importantly, you can finally connect over WiFi!

As of today’s release however, you still need to have a SIM handy. I hope subsequent releases [...]

In our home, the AppleTV is one of many sources we can select within a distributed A/V system. I can play it in a single room, outside or distributed through a few zones and even the whole house. This is great and something we do almost daily, though I don’t like that I [...]

I spoke with Dennis Peng yesterday from Ooma about the sound quality issues I’ve been having and we are pretty sure the issue is related to the connection to my D-Link DGL-4100 Router. Apparently some devices have been created a buzz or hum on the line and I happen to have one. To [...]

Good to see this is starting … I had not anticipated seeing WiMax rollout until the beginning of 2008, but it’s happening now — if you happen to live in a covered area - I think parts of Seattle and possible Chicago.

“WiMAX provider Clearwire has made available its long-awaited PC card in its retail stores [...]

I received a PhoneGnome (PGE2) yesterday and was able to unbox and set it up today. I’m still sorting through the options online, but my initial impressions are very good. As you can see in the video below, the box itself is a somewhat standard looking piece of gear. This is not [...]

I called Ooma and discussed the issues I’d reported earlier and have since been issued a replacement Hub device. I’m amazed at the number of people interested in this topic (Home VOIP) and am thinking things have matured considerably since my last foray a few years ago.

With the new box in place [...]

Vringo has been working hard to shake up the ringtone market with video ringtones and a focus on sharing. Currently the service is free and supports Nokia, Sony Ericsson and the Motorola Q. I’ve been playing with the Nokia edition on the N95 and it’s pretty cool. While I don’t have any [...]

I’ve been playing with Nullriver’s AppTapp / Installer.app for a few days now and I have to say it’s very cool. To get started you simply download the right version for your device, disable auto-sync (only temporarily) in iTunes and connect your iPhone. During the installation process, you choose which firmware your iPhone [...]

This sounds like a complete non-event…

Microsoft’s next release of Office for Mac, due in January, will include business features that PC users have taken for granted for years.

That will include the ability to set up out-of-office messages, according to a preview in Microsoft’s Office for Mac team blog.

‘With Entourage 2008, you now have the [...]
