Last night I had an interesting conversation with my wife.  She asked if I had purchased a few albums we’d previously discussed recently.  I mentioned that I had downloaded a bunch of things to my Zune (love that subscription!), but realized while saying this that there was no way for me to share these albums [...]

I’ve had a pair of Shure EC4 in-ear phones for a few years and I recently shorted out my second pair. I’m not sure what the deal is with my usage, but I tend to kill mobile headsets and earphones far too easily.
Tonight while waiting in Atlanta I decided to go for it and upgrade [...]

Nokia released an official Internet Radio application (today?) which I’ve been checking it out tonight and definitely like what I see and hear! I had last used streaming internet radio on the N91, but that open source application lacked some polish as well as integration with my device as is found in today’s release. [...]

Just caught this one in the inbox… I think the machines lose this round.  Have a feeling this was a less than enthusiastic review…

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 [...]

Bandwagon which launches this week is going to enable simple point and click backup of your iTunes library to Amazon’s S3 storage cloud!! This is awesome! While I’ve got my library sitting on a local RAID, having an offsite location for over 200GB of data is a great feeling of security.

Seriously looking forward [...]

This sounds like a great read… and is formated beautifully for small ebook readers like the Nokia N800. I’m sure it looks great at full screen and printed out as well.
Investigative reporter Kim Zetter spent a year probing the life of David Thomas, a high-tech grifter who became an FBI asset.
In interviews with Thomas, [...]

I had read about but was struggling to recall an app that could easily sync content from iTunes to a mass storage device (mounted memory card for example) and finally re-discovered SyncTunes today!
Through the magic of this application I can now VERY easily sync content to either memory card in the Nokia N800 which is [...]

Fred notes a problem and recommends a solution for sharing music regardless of how you choose to listen…
Some people use Napster. Some use Rhapsody. Some use Yahoo Music. I think these services should get together and let their users “roam” onto other networks. Let’s say my brother uses Napster and he wants to send me [...]

I’ve been a longtime NetNewsWire user and lover, but since I really started reading feeds on my mobile device, I’ve been searching for a way to keep my reading locations in sync easily. NetNewsWire can sync through Newsgator (which I use) but Newsgator mobile sucks compared to Bloglines and … Google Reader.
I was [...]

Orbitcast reports on the launchh of Sirius Internet Radio, which I really like in theory. What I don’t like is the Windows Media Player requirement which makes the interface on the Mac a total kludge.
You have to use Safari (no firefox) and you have to run the browser and an external [...]

FrozenSilicon Labs:: PandoraBoy is basically the same as PandoraMan in look and feel, but with added (and most excellent) support for Growl Notifications, the Apple remote (MacBook Pro!) and Global Keyboard shortcuts. I can now stream in the background (over my EVDO connection!) while rating advancing tracks as I go without having to leave [...]

BMW has launched a site promoting 4 new audiobooks, which I’ve just downloaded.  This is a joint promotion from Random House, though BMW retains the branding on things… I’ve yet to listen, but am syncing to my iPod for the train home.  This seems like a nice brand extention idea - mobile content to enjoy [...]

I’ve added a few new tools of note to my gadget bag and thought I’d share…
First, Ashley was kind enough to get me a new 60GB 5G iPod and it’s a wonderful change from my previous 3G 40GB model. I love the color, size and resolution of the screen. The overall size [...]

Google Print is live and I just gave it a quick shot.  Note the highlight in the link through on my search for Steve Jobs.  That’s pretty slick if you ask me.  I’d like to see Print added to the list of options when you do a regular search, which I imagine is inevitable, unless [...]

Congrats to Kevin Rose and team!  I really like the Diggnation pod / vid cast and enjoy using the site as well.  I’d describe it as Slashdot 2.0 (ala Web 2.0), and you’ll find a good mix of stories - though mainly tech.
Digg, a new San Francisco Internet start-up, seeks to rank news items by [...]
