OK, so things are still kind of ‘up in the air’ in regards to the 911 system for the VoIP world. I guess we are making some progress at least, er, sort of.

Hmmm, is this move by Dutch police a clever idea or a sign of things to come surrounding the ever-increasing lack of privacy?

With an estimated 800 million mobile phones to be sold worldwide next year, it is easy to see why Apple is in such a hurry to get the mobile version of their iTunes software out to the public so quickly.

Are mobile devices becoming just a little ‘too’ bundled? Sometimes it feels like we are trying to cram everything but the kitchen sink into our little mobile friends…

Well folks on the other side of the pond must be excited about the arrival of the much anticipated PSP. Especially since we (US) have had the opportunity to enjoy its abilities for some time now.

Oh, this ought to prove interesting. It seems that Creative is claiming that they have the patent for the iPod technology.

OK, this is definitely an interesting fashion statement for your notebook computer.

I guess that one way to deal with all of the tension is to buy out your affiliates. Well, that is the way Sprint does it anyway…

Seems like being a Chinese gymnast must really suck! They won’t even allow them to have cell phones anymore…

As you can probably imagine, so many of the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina were/are without infrastructure such as natural gas, fresh water, electricity, and telephone service. The statistics of how many are out of telephone service are just starting to come out. Both Cingular Wireless and Nextel are having major service interruptions due to [...]

I think that I would really like to see these WiMax demos in person if the opportunity presented itself. Still, it is better to read about the latest on WiBro than hear nothing at all…

This actually explains the results of a phone call that I placed earlier today. Sometimes I forget about the fact that a fair portion of the country is being hit pretty hard by the weather right now.

To be honest, I expect to see a video capable iPod here very soon. Not offering one, would definitely affect the grip they have on people who are already digging the whole iPod experience.

Man, I just don’t get the record labels. Well, I guess I do, it’s their greed. After moaning and groaning about MP3’s and Napster in the early part of this millennium, Apple came to the rescue with iTunes and legal downloading of music. P2P downloads decreased as iTunes Music Store became the [...]

Man, I just have this nagging song in my head by Night Ranger, Rumors, because of all the rumors flying around on Wall Street of the possibility of Palm, Inc. buying out PalmSource. I don’t know what I dislike more, the Night Ranger song that won’t go away or the rumor that’s driving up [...]

Ever seen that movie called Golden Child, with Eddie Murphy? When I first went through the article below, I could not shake mental images of that one nose picking guy all doing mobile commercials with one of his fingers planted firmly up his nose during the entire conversation. Hmm, guess it’s time to lay off [...]

The thing about knowledge is that once it’s out there, nothing on Earth is going to stop it. Unfortunately for some, the understanding behind turning a mobile phone into a remote bomb detonator is very much out there.

Ah yes, school days are upon us soon. New backpacks, lunch boxes and oh yes, a new mobile phone…

Now I believe that anyone that finds viewing entertainment in someone being killed in a non-fictional way needs help. Whether this video is being shown over a mobile device or on a PC, it’s disgusting to ’show people’ such atrocities.

Well, if you’ve read my articles for any length of time now, you’d probably know all about how specific I am when it comes to the various functionality of software that I use. I’m not on the computer often during a workday, and therefore don’t have much time to read up on news, and various [...]
