December 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Lookie lookie what I got my hands on.  It’s the Nokia N85 iSync plugin for Macs.  I can not vouch for this app but it does come from Nokia.  I have not used it yet because I don’t have an N85.  Hint hint, if someone wants to send me the N85 I would be eternally […]

November 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I have been using the Aura Mobile BT for a few months now.  It is a high quality duel speaker phone created to be a mobile conferencing hub.  Instead of having a super expensive conferencing unit someone could purchase the Aura from Spracht.  I have used it in a few different environments now and I […]

What’s going on with Nokia Downloads?  I went to check to see if there was anything new on there last night, like maybe the business card scanner I’ve been waiting for for what seems like an eternity already.  What I saw was that the App will be down this weekend, Nov. 8 and 9.  I […]

Q2 Mobile Provider results… Huh?

August 8th, 2008 · No Comments

I was just reading one of my favorite blogs GigaOM and Stacey Higginbotham compiled the jist of the Q2 US mobile provider results. I find it very interesting that it seems like T-Mobile is just barely doing ok and that Sprint is not burning out. Not surprising AT&T and Verizon are both making […]
