Here’s the URL for my tracking page. http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/user/profile.do?u=chippy Update: No, that doesnt work if you’re not logged in which is strange because I can make a track public and you can follow live. For example, here’s the track i’m running now. If I can’t find a better way, you’ll have to just use the tracking app on the right. The latest track is shown on the right and is marked ‘NOW’ Click through to see live updates. It appears that the latest live info is shown. I’m not sure if […]

I have some great ideas in the shower. Possibly! One problem with pro-blogging is that can be unhealthy, especially when you do it from home. I rarely get enough sleep. My breakfast is sometimes lunch. I don’t move around as much as I should and I’m surprised that I don’t have back and eyesight problems! I’ve tried a bit of Live Photo-blogging before and that’s been fun. My Wife is doing a good job of getting me out of the house too but I need to do more. My latest […]

The software that could resurrect Windows Mobile devices as acceptable Internet browsing tools is delayed. Or at least the beta is delayed. Apparently there’s a few bugs they want to iron out before they release the s/w so you won’t be able to download it until Thursday. Its OK by me as the 624Mhz, 4" VGA iPaq 214 that I was going to borrow to test it out hasn’t turned up yet. Via The Unwired.

NeoSolar, manufacture of solar tech, has formed an Alliance with WiBrain. They will now be responsible for the operation, manufacturing and marketing with WiBrain continuing with research. This could be a strategic move for NeoSolar but I doubt it. It sounds like some form of investment to me. I’m hoping it will speed up the development of new products from WiBrain. The new 32GB SSD-based products (aff.) are out of the door now and should be shipping to customers in the next few days but I’d really like to see […]

Remember Lindows? A controversially named company that worked to bring a simpler Linux experience to the consumer. They ended up renaming as Linspire after Microsoft went after them and went on to create CNR which is a cross-distribution (works for Ubuntu and Novell distro’s apparently) marketplace for easy-install Linux programs. Badly needed! Last week, Michael Robertson, the man that started Linspire, announced that it’s being sold to Xandros. Xandros, as many of you know, create and manage the Linux distribution that you find on the Eee PC’s. I feel sure […]

There’s a confusing array of data tariffs available. Speeds, port limits, throttling and the usual array of footnotes. Until you have a true flat tariff there’s always a worry that either something won’t work, the data will get throttled, your images will get recompressed or you end up with a 1600 Euro bill! T-Mobile have just completed their HSDPA upgrades in Germany which means 7.2mbps down and 1.4mbps up (theoretical) is now the best you can get. At the IFA in Berlin (Aug 29th – Sept 3rd) T-Mobile will introduce […]

As I  look at the UMPCPortal product pages today I see something I have never seen before. The top 10 most popular devices, based on visitor clicks, are all notebooks. 4 of them are touchscreen convertibles but the rest are plain old low-cost, dare I say boring, netbooks. I knew it would happen at some point. Low-cost = Raised Eyebrows. We’re all suckers for a bargain but these are not the mobile devices I’d prefer to see high up on the list. Where’s the ever-useful Q1 Ultra or the MID-before-its-time […]
