I keep re-reading Yasmin’s blog entry on the „sensuous gear“, aka the iPhone announced last week. A one of its kind post, worthy of an editorial. Just as Rudy in his post I have to admire how Steve presents or rather evangelizes to his ‚followers’. Maybe Nokia should think about inviting more ‚followers’ to their […]

I have been writing and reporting for quite some time now on the convergence of networks, the introduction of hybrid devices and media becoming accessible on mobile devices, lately all connecting easily to the web. With game devices such as the PSP accessing the Internet over wifi and the introduction of the iPhone, we now […]

At Macworld San Francisco 2007, a couple of hours ago, Steve Jobs unveiled (finally!) the iPhone. You can watch the full keynote here and how the phone works here.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my first […]

Wednesday Nokia anounced it’s Gizmo collaboration for the N80 Internet Edition, Thursday I made my first SIP call with Andy straight from my laptop to his wi-fi connected n80 somewhere out there in the hills of California. The quality and easyness of use of Gizmo connecting to a mobile phone was excellent; on the other […]

The Nokia Music Mixer has been launched last week, it’s available as part of the XpressMusic campaign that accompanies the launch of the Nokia 5300 phone. I’m particularly interested in the music mixer. Nokia once again sets the tone for youngsters enjoying the remix culture.
Anyone can remix tracks to their taste by adding new sound […]

Nokia to unveil the Nserie Music Collection. From Darla’s blog:
As you can see, the N73 and N70’s have been made over in a new color… black is back! The N91 gets an external and internal make-over. Also dressed in black, the new N91 has upgraded its HD from 4gb to 8gb, hence the […]
