 TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s Access Co. said on Thursday that it and Softbank Corp. have developed Internet browsing and email software for cell phones.

Ah yes, screaming mobile phones. Now this is just what the doctor ordered! Ah, then again, perhaps not…

LONDON - An ear-piercing scream awaits would-be mobile phone thieves, and it won’t stop unless the battery is removed, rendering the […]

We should realize by now that social computing is not by any means limited to the desktop PC.

Nearly three years ago, SvenOnTech told you about a neat little accessory from Radio Shack that would boost our volume on our Palm T3. We used it for our big over-the-hear headphones to get the ultimate kick and loved the results.
Well looks the folks at Cyberguys are picking up on this booster […]

Hey, looks like Blackberry users have been on to something as a new study by RONIN Corporation found, “more than 70% of mobile professionals expect mobile email to ‘liberate’ them.” Noting that most professionals stated that they would be more productive if they had the ability to check their e-mail while out of the […]

If you’re in the mood to run a rogue site and don’t want to be traced easily, then take your web site with you…in your pocket. That’s right, you now can run a fully functional website running Apache web server with PHP, mySQL, Typo and ImageMagik all on a USB drive. Everything is […]

I love going to Johnny Rockets and slapping money into the mini-jukebox at the table while eating those great burgers. Flipping through the jukebox pages is fun and kinda gives me an idea of what my dad felt like when he did it in the soda pop shop when he was a kid. […]

I’ve been using Nomad’s BackupBuddyVFS for over a year and love it. I wished Nomad made it for the PocketPC it’s so good. But they don’t, so I’ll just sit and wish and know that my T3 is in good hands in case I ever need to restore it from a really bad […]

Having the Samsung i730 myself, I have to wonder what software CNet ran on their pick for Best Smartphone.

This past weekend, we vacationed in Walt Disney World. One of the more fascinating aspects of the trip was how Disney photographers utilized Sony UPC (ultraportable computers) attached to their digital cameras. When I bumped into Rick (a Disney employee), I noticed that he didn’t have a Sony on his belt attached to his […]

Microsoft is getting serious about the worm problem. While this is not really so shocking considering the fact that they are usually the target. Their work will eventually help to make sure the computer worm issue does not become so wide spread that it ends up being an issue for mobile devices as well.

From the ‘ya get what pay for department’, Motorola has learned a valuable lesson about trying to cut costs a little too close to the bone you might say. Apparently, they were quite upset with the Taiwan’s manufacturers of their Windows Mobile phones. So based on what I am hearing, it’s the Taiwan company that […]

It finally happened. Someone with a prosthetics lab has made a real ‘Thumb Drive.’ It’s a 128MB version that is going for $30 right now on eBay, but they promise larger sizes are to come. I’m going to go whimper softly in a corner for a bit if you don’t mind.

Wi-Fi will soon be powering Hertz counters in airports all over the place once Wayport gets into the game. The partnership between the two companies was very much of mutual desire.
The partnership is designed to enable Hertz to enjoy the goodness that can come from co-branding, but I have to wonder if there will be […]

This is one of those technologies that looks really cool in the beginning, but to me, it’s just as easy to hand over a few bucks. I usually carry enough cash around to be able to pay for small things, but if you’re one of those people who can’t ever find their money, this might […]

Obviously, Apple was the last to the party with a color screen, but now that they’ve emphasized photos over video, you can bet everyone else will, too. Case in point: Gateway’s new MP3 Photo Jukebox, a smart-looking 4GB hard disk-based player (no 5GB?) with a 1.6-inch color display. The highlight features look very nice: MP3, […]

Thanks goes out to Brandon for the following email:

A datebook replacement, Life@Hand comes with a number of features that you will not find elsewhere without having to really look. Must have software, a beta version of this PDA software will be arriving later this year according to their Web site.

The purchase of the Acer C110 Travelmate convertible tablet PC last week has
been one of my better buys in recent years. I unpacked the box to discover
plugs that will fit any socket in any country, decent instructions, and a
spare stylus with extra tips.
The setup was really easy, and within minutes it was taking notes. Well, […]
