Sure, using a mobile phone while driving in New York is illegal, but you wouldn’t know it from the lack of enforcement. Techdirt reports that little is being done to keep this problem under control. Could be the cause of a variety of factors, I suppose, but I think it is complicity, myself.

A friend of mine who is in an Illustrator and Inker for several comic books told me a while back that comic books will soon be available on mobile devices for people to download on their notebooks, PDAs, and even cell phones. I didn’t believe him back then because I still loved physically turning pages. [...]

AT&T Wireless is set to launch a wireless device named the ogo that is positioned to go head to head with T-Mobile’s Sidekick. The new data-centric wireless device is sure to create confusion with the handtop computer OQO.

Who needs a PDA when you have a pen, right? Well, there could be a viable alternative for the many pen and paper types out there. The device is called Pegasus Mobile NoteTaker and it sounds promising, yet limiting at the same time. Promising since you can now take notes on regular paper and have [...]

OK, so I have some pictures of my new ride…just kidding. Actually according to this Weblog, Microsoft has a new semi-truck that is traveling across the US to bring a grass roots approach to potential customers. The thing that really struck me about this is the amount of mobile technology that this RV is using. [...]

Skype has been kicking butt with their Peer-to-Peer software lately. Well, they have not stopped with the traditional PC environment. Nope, they have stepped to mobility with their new software designed for the Pocket PC.

The OQO ultra-portable computer has achieved a unique status before hitting the market. The handheld Windows XP computer has been vaporware for over two years earning it a distinction no company wants for their product.

I was wondering when this was going to come up. Dave Molta of Mobile Pipeline believes that this concept of “city-wide” Wi-Fi is a fool’s dream in many ways. He sees flaws right from the get-go, which include a faulty business model (his opinion) and poor planning in general.

As most of us already know, camera phones have many uses. Some of them good and some of them not so good. One of these “not so good” uses include cheating in school. I know, how can this be, they are just kids, right? But with the costs of cell phones constantly coming down and [...]

Normally two competing groups are good for a technology. This is not the case, however, when it comes to two competing groups fighting over a technology standard. Ultrawideband, still a few years off at least, is just one such example of a technology that has become a pawn in a virtual tug-of-war. No one group [...]

I believe that most people think that their cell phone carriers and manufacturers have a pretty decent working relationship. Well, you have to wonder what is going to end up happening as they begin to set different goals from one another. Could there be some drifting to take place?

I think this is good news. I am hearing reports that the US has been granted more of the 3G Spectrum by the FCC. This could really open things up in the world of Wi-Fi, let me tell ya. Heck, there is even talk of a third generation Wi-Fi technology that could end up coming [...]
