Fine, I guess people are totally bent on having these mobile functions on their phones and not on traditional PDA format. Heck, why not.

OK, this is certainly one way to do it I suppose. Geez, it sure beats continued court battles I guess.

Sometimes it is the little things that really count. Take the chips put out by Toshiba for MP3 players as one such example….

After reading this, I almost feel like British Telecom may be one-uping us here in the States. A bold statement to be sure, however I feel like the results speak for itself.

Now that I’m back from my business trip, I tried to re-install Pocket Informant onto my device that decided to crap out on me earlier this week. When I did, the joys of Microsoft’s new way have handling memory bit me in the arse.
I had about 5 MB left for program storage. […]

In many respects, Palm is missing many things. As far as the ‘multimedia boat’, that really depends on where they would like to be in a few years.

Nah, there are no security concerns with this! Um, no. I do not think this is going to be a good thing for many mobile phone owners. On the flip side, it will certainly feed the mobile need for a good antivirus!

Are the new rules in Europe just going to mean that people will be gouged in other ways? Yup, it does appear that way and frankly, that is really too bad.

Man, I would freaking love this! Unfortunately I just don’t see this happening where I live anytime soon. Maybe we will see more mobile VoIP options here in the States, but I am sure our heroes in regulation arena will quash that from spreading too much I am afraid…

There is little doubt that the availability of mobile games are a part of this growing trend. Well that and the targeting of the right age group as well.

Never going to happen in their current form. Even though I am not really an iPod fan right now, I have yet to see many mobile phones offering the same sex appeal as the iPod. Having said that, the Moto RAZR came pretty close.

Oh why not! Heck you knew that the maps thing was only to continue to catch on, right? So it is only natural that we have the Gmaps option for all to try. After all, it’s got the Google touch…

Well now, it seems that customers are just not worth what we might expect. As a matter of fact, I have learned that in one case you might only be worth a measly 50 bucks! Hey, that’s the price of loyalty.

There is really no question that the market is there. But with iTunes? Eh, why not! Music for sale is music for sale. So long as it is accessible, I guess that is really what matters.

Alright, this is one clever idea. But realistically, can this take off like its developers are hoping? Perhaps in some areas of the world, but in the US?

Love them or hate them, the Windows Media world is here to stay. And with the news in regard to Microsoft’s latest mobile OS know as “Crossbow” out of the box, things are bound to get pretty interesting pretty quickly.

I guess when companies cannot meet with the demand, others are presented with new opportunities. This certainly seems to be the case with the article below…

This should not be that much of a surprise, really. I mean think about it! The world cup has an enormous number of fans. Therefore the success the cup has had with mobile video really ought to have been expected.

Even to me, Amp’d Mobile appears to be amazingly cool. So the lucky company that was chosen to offer up their media content is going to be very happy indeed.

I often wonder while resetting my Pocket PC how in its fifth generation Windows CE is still so unstable. Just this morning, I wake up at 4:00 a.m. to go off to work and I pick up my UTStarcom XV6700 out of its cradle and there it says on the Today screen “Please insert […]
