October 13th, 2009 · No Comments

I am one lucky guy, I know that, I get to attend the premier events around the world when it comes to mobile technology and I get to play with the latest and greatest devices.  Sometimes devices I’m not at liberty to talk about for months.  So when I was at CTIA last week in [...]

A friend of mine just brought this to my attention. Livestream is launching the Livepack (video automatically plays).  What is the Livepack you ask???  It’s a satellite television truck in a back pack.  You have an HD video camera connected to your Livepack via firewire.  Inside the Livepack is all kinds of technology I don’t [...]

Back to the Nokia E75 I go

September 17th, 2009 · 5 Comments

So as all of my readers know I’m a hard core Nokia E71 fanboy.  I’ve been infatuated with the E71 since I first heard about it roughly 2 years ago.  Now I’m impatiently waiting for the much anticipated E72 but I decided to whip out the E75 I was graciously lent for review and have [...]

Motorola Blur on the new Cliq

September 10th, 2009 · No Comments

I think Motorola is on it’s way back up.  They have hopefully given up on the Razr format and started focusing on smart phones for their future.  The new Motorola Cliq may be their saving grace from their clearly admitted massive fail over the last few years.  This device is packed with a 5mp camera, [...]

September 4th, 2009 · 8 Comments

I got to spend some time with Karl Good of Truphone over the past 2 days at the ITExpo and have been reminded how much I like the best mobile VOIP service available today.  Karl gave me an ultra secret briefing, please don’t ask me what we chatted about, I won’t tell you.  No amount [...]

When will we have one inbox for all communications?

July 19th, 2009 · 6 Comments

I use messaging a great deal, from sms to email to instant messaging to Twitter to video chat to voice mail (unfortunately), I spend a lot of time communicating.  I was thinking recently when will we see messaging apps evolve again?  I’m hoping Google Wave will help but I don’t think it will take it [...]

Apps I loaded on E71

July 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I left on vacation a few days back, as I write this I’m in the passenger seat of a giant 12 passenger Ford F350 van.  This thing is a monster but I like it. I’ve been preparing my electronic gear bag (I like to call it my toy bag) and I never know exactly what [...]

June 17th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Mobile phone and brand app stores have reinvigorated the internet and it looks like a small version of what it was before the bubble burst.  I was just reading Ewan Macleod come back story (great guy by the way) and I’m thinking about his Mobile Industry Developers TV and I’m thinking, it’s back to the [...]
