I believe Palm and Windows Mobile devices have had the ability to install applications over bluetooth for at least 10 years, probably longer. My history with S60 is shorter, but there has never been a time when I was unable to install something over basic bluetooth or USB. Apple has severly limited (as [...]

I’ve always been interested in astronomy but would hardly call myself an expert. Now though with the help of Pocket Universe, I will be able to learn quite a lot.

The coolest feature is hands down the virtual sky which offers an augmented reality type of experience. As you are not looking through [...]

I don’t know that the average mobile consumer knows or cares but the iPhone is a surprisingly closed platform. You’d think with the massive volume of applications and sales that it would naturally be open, but like all Apple products there are rules and the best oportunities are left for the house.
As [...]

>edfa been a really long time since I used an iphone for anything. My original iPhone essentially became a paperweight after about 3 months and the SIM card has rotated through a dozen or more devices since. Even so I felt compelled to check it out once again and once I realized [...]

After a lively debate on twitter tonight I’ve decided to reorganize my thoughts into post. My discussion with @chansearrington has really gotten me thinking about what Nokia’s perspective is on data usage and frankly why I think it’s wrong for today’s consumer marketplace.  Let me caveat this by first stating that I am considering only [...]

You’ve got to hand it to NIN. They continue to be one of the most innovative bands and their approach to mobile is outstanding!

Every day I read about new services and ways to use the Android and iPhone webkit browsers, yet there’s been no change to make some of these tools work well with the s60 software.  I can’t even open a new tab without a silly bookmark hack, and it seems there’s been little to no change [...]

More often than not I see the iPhone being used with two hands … not too unlike the commercials and demo videos actually. Outside of the iPod function, the iPhone does feel more comfortable to use with both hands. The G1 in my limited use, also seemed like it wanted me to use [...]

I know this is not the mainstream pattern by any stretch but just a sample of how I tend to use mobile technology.
On my walk to the train tonight I fired up Sportstracker and captured my speed and distance, while listening to some tunes over A2DP which logged up to Last.fm via Mobbler. [...]

I saw the news that there was an iPhone tethering app available tonight in iTunes and decided to check it out now once I got home. As you can see it’s in the iTunes Store, but my access is blocked in the US. Interesting …

I’m not sure why this is blocked, as [...]

As noted previously I have not purchased the iPhone 3G and as of this moment see no compelling reason to do so … I did update my iPhone to the 2.0 software though after the update re-harvested the SIM for my other devices.

I like what I see in the app store, meaning I [...]

At some point over the long weekend last week I started to re-think my position on upgrading to the iPhone 3G … I’ve been trying to keep the hype in check, but it’s seriously hard given the rather considerable volume of discussion.
As I checked back in with the world following a flight to San Fran, [...]

FierceMobileContent has highlighted a very interesting study …
Almost three quarters of mobile phone users cite text messaging capabilities as the most important feature when purchasing a new handset, according to a consumer survey conducted by mobile solutions provider Access Systems Americas and independent research firm Amplitude Research. Given a list of 19 different mobile [...]

Apparently quite a few people are reporting on ATT’s announcement that you can use your older iPhone as a wifi enabled iPod after upgrading. Gee, you mean just like how mine gets used now?
Removing the SIM does not prevent any device from working. Next please…

While I won’t be waiting in line for the 3G iPhone, I’ll probably still install Shozu as soon as it’s available as being able to share my media to any site is a core function of what I do with any smartphone. It’s good to see Shozu is releasing the feature complete iPhone version [...]

At least according to the latest trend report from Opera …
I think it might be more likely that men are installing applications and in particular a new browser while women are perhaps more content to use the experience provided by their handset manufacturer or carrier. It’s hard to really know but the only [...]

You may have noticed that Google updated Search, Reader and iGoogle for mobile … The iGoogle page has been around for a while though not named iGoogle. If you’d signed into Google, you were able to personalize the start page via mobile which was nice, but now there’s an easier way from your desktop. [...]

Price is killer. 3G and GPS for 199(8GB) or 299(16GB). Though subsidized, it’s a very strong offer and should appeal to the masses in a big way.
MobileMe… I’m looking forward to getting this working and love the idea. Sync is very important and something that’s not very easy to do and [...]

While I am ready to be surprised, I just can’t see racing out to get the new iPhone. Last year I waited in line, had a blast, (was tortured by activation) and generally enjoyed using the iPhone but after an initial honeymoon phase (3months) I moved on and have really not looked back. It’s [...]

In case you’ve missed it, people can’t stop talking about either Twitter or the 3G iPhone. I fond both clutter up my feed reading daily… Perhaps here’s why:

Twitter is apparently more interesting.
