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

My new toy: Acer Aspire One

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

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"

Wide Awake Developers: Steve Jobs Made Me Miss My Flight

I caught this blog as commented on Guy Kawasaki's Truemors Site. Not only do I empathise, I too have been a participant in the current US "war against terror" as conducted through Airport Security (check out this blog ), but I had to laugh.

Coming to Fruition

Some years ago, circa 2005, when I was an Infrastructure Consultant with MCS, I went with our Mobility Solution Specialist, Rick Anderson, down to Canberra to talk Defence about Windows Mobile 5. Back then we spoke about being evaluated by the DSD (Defence

An amazing week for Mobility

Well, when they said the announcements at Mix08 would blow us away, they weren't wrong.... I'm excited about all of the mobility announcements. It's clear that the Internet, Social Networking, and Gen "C" is combining and extending to the most
