I have always like the click sound that the iPhone made when you typed a key. It seemed like just the “right” click too. Very similar to the sound of the click wheel. Unfortunately, I’ve finally decided to disable the sound because it seems to induce a bit of lag sometimes. In between the playing […]
A couple weeks ago, I picked up an iPhone (right before 1.1.2 came out).
Compared to my Wizard, the iPhone is a joy to use. The OS is more fun, more pleasing to use. I like the iPhone’s email client better (though I’m not sure I like the 200 email per folder limit, but it has […]
For some strange voyeuristic (that’ll get me some funky Google search referrals) reason, I really enjoy those random threads/topics/groups where people post pictures of stuff they have.
For instance, there is the Flickr group The Items We Carry.
Another is the BladeForums thread EDC - What’s in Your Pocket(s).
Now oddly enough, there are different trends for these […]
The one game that I have been playing regularly is Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS. I describe it to my friends as World of Warcraft without the fighting.
I’m not sure what the appeal is exactly. What I do now in the game basically amounts to grinding. I tired of that pretty quickly […]
I have Bluetooth on my Windows XP laptop.
It was one of the things I was wanted after having it on my PowerBook. So, now I have it. And I never use it. Because it sucks.
It sucks because of stupid driver issues. Should I use Microsoft’s drivers? No? Disable them. Use the Widcomm drivers. Find it […]
What’s up with Origami/UMPC and their attempts to create buzz?
Have you seen the UMPC Community website? Is this amateur night or something? The design blows. The illustrations blow. The intro flash that used to be there was pretty poor too. And it feels like it’s running on Mom And Pop’s Discount Shared Hosting.
Does Intel want […]
I mentioned this in my holiday wish list back a couple of months. I ended up getting it as a gift. Go figure.
The good:
Sound quality is good. Definitely better than my old Nextlink Bluespoon AX. I had one friend comment that it sounded better than the normal mic on my phone (the HTC Wizard/QTek 9100).
It […]
So the Treo 700p has been pretty much confirmed. It is basically a Treo 700w running PalmOS. PalmOS 5. Geeze, this is pretty much the same OS that the first Palms (then called Pilots) came with. Sure, nowadays they run on ARM processors and emulate Motorola 68K processors (all the productivity benefits of coding and […]
The Treo 600 gets incredible battery life — if you turn off the radio. I can’t remember the last time I charged it. At least many many weeks ago. People used to talk about how the early Palms had battery life that measured in weeks. I guess if you’re still thinking about those days, you […]
There is a new version of Skype for Pocket PC. I had posted previously about how Skype ran pretty poorly on the Wizard.
Well, this new release comes in a special “your device is slow” version. Make sure to grab the “low cpu” version. It definitely seems to work better (primarily because the old version barely […]
