MyPhone

This week I was migrated back to a QWERTY keyboard driven WinMo phone. Thanks to our friends at Palm. It is an awesome device, but more on that in another post. For now I want to talk about the much vaunted new service, MyPhone. It’s in beta, so I did

All things to all people?

Recently I got my hands on a Samsung i900 , aka the “Omnia” (which is Latin for “all” or “everything”) and I’ll be honest, I had been coveting this device since I first set eyes on it last August. Looking Good What’s not to desire? 5MPx camera with flash,

Roadtest: Acer Aspire One

I’ve now been using this great little laptop for just over a week. Where last week I was asked “Which one did you get?” this week I’ve constantly been asked variations on the same question: “How does it perform?” “Do you like it?” “What would I do with

R42 New Tech - Dell XPS1730 aka "The Beast" - Part 1 "Procuring"

For over 6 months I've been wanting to purchase a personal home computer. My home interests include video editing, and I gave my last laptop to Em (my 18 yr old) for Christmas, before she headed to Uni. So I've been computer-less. Not entirely of course,

Now we're talking

Not piddly GPRS 2.5G, not 3G, not even HSDPA (or HSUPA) Next/3.5G - no, we're talking true blue 4G Networks. Nothing yet, but the initial agreement with partners (Nokia, SonyEricsson and Alcatel to be precise) to get things off the ground. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7348706.stm

Embarking on the Long Road to TechEd08

For the last number of years, I've had a couple of points of input into TechEd in Australia. Primarily in the Mobility Track, and in the Microsoft Technology Showcase. 2 years ago, inspired by a similar session at our internal training conference, "TechReady"

An amazing week for Mobility

Where will Windows Mobile take you?

No, no, this is not about the Windows Mobile 6 campaign, which could take you to one of the wonders of the world... Rather it's about the i-mate Ultimate promotion * As quoted by i-mate: i-mate’s Ultimate experience – call for applicants i-mate
