Long Term Nokia E61i Review

Over on All About Symbian, my long-term review of the Nokia E61i has been posted.

To sum it up, I’m very impressed with the device. It’s still not perfect, but I’m getting to the point that each of the main PDA/Smartphone platforms has flaws that a ‘perfect’ device would paper over, but I can be excessivly [...]

Sometimes The Good Route isn’t the Right Route: Booking Flights to America

So now the decision has been made to attend both the Portable Media Expo and Tech Crunch 20, I’ve got the starting and end points of my September USA trip in place. That means it’s time to go work the outings and systems, and get my airline tickets booked.

TPN’s Tech Conference Show To Cover TechCrunch20

Part of September’s trip to the USA will include a bundle of coverage of the TechCrunch20 Conference. With 20 ‘new ideas’ on show, the stated aim of Jason Calacanis and Michael Arrington is to provide the best new business ideas a platform to demo themselves, their products, and vision.

Doctor Who and the Guest Writers of Speculative Fiction

There’s a lovely thread over on Outpost Gallifrey’s Message board, about who people would like to see write for Season 30 (and beyond) of Doctor Who. And it got me thinking that there can’t be a huge number of shows where the writers are talked about in the same tones as the guest stars (I’m [...]

What Should I Do This September in the USA?

Right then, it’s time to do some planning (or, to put it another way, try to avoid the schedule of The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Podcast for another 24 hours…). One of the podcast events of the year is the third Portable and New Media Expo, which I should be attending this year. I know last [...]

Your Sinclair, Your Symbian, and Print Publishing vs The Web

Finally, I have the set! Thanks to the delights of EBay, I’ve picked up one of the original “Your Sinclair, It’s Crap” T-Shirts to go alongside the homage we made up with “Your Symbian.” This might not seem imporatnt to many of you, but Your Sinclair was probably the magazine that had the most impact [...]

What’s In A Name? Podcaster; Blogger; Writer; New Media; Hoopy Frood?

After listening to last night’s TPN Rock Live, Eric Rice asks a delightful question; Is He A Podcaster? I’m Confused.
…Ewan Spence, specifically, broadcast The Rock Show live, while also recording it for distribution via automatic downloads for his subscribers (we call that podcasting in these here parts)… When podcasters start getting all hybrid-y on us– [...]

TPN Rock Live #1: After Action Report (and the Podcast)

So TPN Rock Live (or at least, the first TPN Rock Live is over), and it’s time to look at the results, and maybde have a bit of discussion around the issues. First of all, the primary goal was ‘to test the internet streaming system for Leith FM before the station starts simulcasting.’ Managed that [...]
