Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta is live.

Posted on 17 July 2008

If you have a Windows Mobile device and have any interest in a better Internet browsing experience, you should check this out. If your device has flash lite support (v3 I think is needed here) then you shuld be able to watch in-line flash videos. If not, you wont get that support. Phone Arena have a hands-on and video. even with our old HTC Wizard with TI processor at 200 MHz and modified WM6.1 OS, browsing a page is a pleasure, compared to doing it with IE I’m sure there’s […]

Wibrain with Atom, HSDPA and makeover on the way.

Posted on 16 July 2008

I missed this one a few days ago. UMPCFever are reporting that NeoSolar, the new owners of the Wibrain brand, will market a new version of the Wibrain with Atom, HSDPA and a makeover. Apparently the info appears on a Wibrain website. The styling on the rendering that appears on UMPCFever’s article looks a lot better than the old version. I hope the back and sides get the same treatment! It would probably have to be a Menlow platform to fit into the Wibrain casing and it would depend on […]

In-cloud sync. SugarSync review

Posted on 16 July 2008

  It used to rare that we had more than one computer. Or so I have been told anyways. Today we have a lot more devices I myself have a desktop, a laptop, a phone and a UMPC. I sometimes also use public computers. Now how do I keep my data in sync and access it wherever I am? Here’s where SugarSync comes in. What is it? Essentially it is a data syncing solution that relies on a central online server instead of syncing straight from device to device. So […]

kohijnsha SC3 review over at Pocketables. Looks like we’ve got another good UMPC Choice. Even Vista works!

Posted on 16 July 2008

Jenn and I have been having a private race to see who was first to get the SC3. She won! On the upside, it’s made me even more excited to get mine. It’s looking like a real peach of a device. My worry about Vista is fading away too. Here’s what she says about that: "Keeping in mind that my review unit has 2GB of memory installed, Vista Home Premium SP1 runs extremely well on the 1.33GHz Atom processor. I’d even go so far as to say that it’s downright […]

ASUS 901. Vista works…well! Has Some Ultra mobility issues.

Posted on 16 July 2008

JKK’s recent video showing an ASUS 901 running Vista makes you wonder why manufacturers aren’t actually releasing their netbook devices with Vista. So far, all the netbooks except the Gigabyte M912 are sold with just Linux or XP. There must be some customers out there that are interested in Vista, surely? I had a long chat with JKK about the 901 last night. We both agree that as a mobile notebook it’s looking very nice. Possibly the best. Upgradeable, relatively small, good battery life useful UI control features through the […]

More Jog than Blog.

Posted on 15 July 2008

Well that was pretty much a total failure on the blogging front wasn’t it. I definitely should not have taken the M528 out with me. It’s not ready for service yet. [Note: Its a production sample from at least 2 months ago. No indication of what the final build will be like] I just couldn’t get the browser to work without crashing on blogger.com. I lost two posts! What was a success was the tracking and photo tagging. The S60 Sports Tracker software does a really nice job there. There […]

Jog and blog stop 2

Posted on 15 July 2008

Unfortunately the m528 crapped out on me so here i am T9ing the text into blogger.com on the n82. So you could say that the experiment failed although really i shouldn’t have chosen alpha release hardware!The experience is painfull but at least the view is good! Im off on the return journey in a few minutes.
