John Tokash makes a lot of sense to me in his recent post about the Nokia 770. He writes about how it fulfils the tasks he requires. “…the tasks he requires.” That’s the important bit. He analysed his requirements and found a device to suit. He didn’t do what most people do and dream about high-end gaming or whine about the lack of 3.6mbps cellular data connectivity because he knows that its not part of his requirements. I really wish more people would be honest with themselves and analyse exactly […]

I’m sure there are going to be many more of these shiny bits of marketing in the next week so lets call this one #1 and keep a tally.  Autonet mobile promises to put a WiFi hotspot into your car and connect it to the Internet for $45 per month. Read the webpage. Its: Easy to use for everyone. Great for families.   Everyone AND families too! we can connect devices ranging from laptop computers to mobile media players like the Fujitsu P1610. Oooh the GottaBeMobile team won’t like them calling […]

Ctitanic posted an entry on Origamiproject.com forums about a new Intel driver that has fixed a WiFi disconnection problem for him. The original blog post is here and it refers to USB drivers. The Wifi on the Q1, R2H and on the i7200 series is on the USB bus so that might explain why there are reports of it fixing the disconnection problems. I would try it on my i7210 (I had some WiFi disconnection issues that i thought were due to my home WiFi setup) but the damn thing […]

No I haven’t got any news on it. Its just an observation about the blogosphere. Engadget picked up the Tatung ultra mobile PC images that I posted a week ago (via a huge chain of websites.) The funny thing is that its really no news at all. I don’t know why they even bothered. You can see a product with the label ‘UMPC’ on it showing a screen image of something that looks like WM5 with a logo. The images are months old and just not even worth getting excited about. There’s […]

I just want to air a few observations on ultra mobile PC products in the Euro market. It looks like Samsung have repositioned the Q1. The original Samsung Q1-900 Ceegoo (NP-Q1-V000)with 512MB and 30GB drive is only available from a few retailers now and instead, the Cassomi (1024MB  / 60GB – part number NP-Q1-M000) version is being offered by most online retailers. The most probable explanation is that they need to reposition the Q1 to make way for the Q1b. Remember that Samsung said the Q1b would come in at the […]

If you’re interested in the P1610 Ultra Mobile PC and fancy keeping it in tip-top condition, take a look at this bump case review from jkOnTheRun.

The case costs around $80 and seems a very good investment if you’re planning to go mobile with the P1610.
