I think BenQ is nuts here, but they seem to be feeling pretty good about their handset concept…

Just when things look their worst, the most unlikely development takes place to save a failing company in Zurich.

Is the latest Blackberry and other mobile device really helping the mobile business person? Or instead, is it more of a hassle?

The open source movement has never been in such a strong position. Thanks the new found friend in the mobile world, the mobile OS is now in a stronger position than ever before.

The magic of the batteries that power our mobile electronics. Today, we have Lithium-ion technology in the spotlight.

In some ways, I can understand the desire to ditch the whole “being connected thing” and opting for a life of simpler cell usage. Still, I am a Internet dependent sort, so I am not likely to follow suit with DeWitt Clinton anytime soon.

I think with the market being so saturated, this belief in a mobile slow down is simply a matter of time.

Pros

Most incredibly packed POI database anywhere
Accurate map database
Right on the money GPS positioning
Amazingly super sensitive GPS antenna
Excellent voice prompts

Cons

Little on the large side
Poor battery life
Inability to offer compass direction names for streets if not entered by user (i.e. N. Main St must be entered instead of entering Main St. and N Main St and S […]

Speaking for myself, I believe that Nokia needs to keep a better eye on their phones, like the E70 for instance - it’s a complete piece and a total rip off. As for “keeping up with demand”, I think that their poor products will perhaps help with this problem.

OK, seriously. Who is honestly going to end up wearing “smart clothing”? Will you?

Dude, it’s almost like I’m looking at LL Cool J’s Radio album cover all over. Well not quite, but still, the look reminds me of it and the actual GE boombox I had back in high school. Man, this looks so much like it, sans the iPod and digital clock, that it’s shocking. […]

Man, it seems like that lately all of the really cool stuff has been coming to the Windows Mobile platform!

We’ve seen this in many rural parts of the world, and now it is taking hold again - this time in rural parts of China.

Pros
Ease of use and perfect integration with your cell phone brings your music and phone together as if they were a single device.
