My OPL Book has Some Shelf Wear at Amazon

Should I be worried, amazed, or happy that my programming book “Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development for Symbian OS: An Introduction to OPL Application Design and Programming” currently has an Amazon ‘New and Used’ copy available with ‘Brand New, Some shelf wear‘

Mowser! Russell Beattie Is Back!

Sounding for all the world like a mobile application for Scooby Doo and Shaggy is long time mobile blogger and commentator Russell Beattie. Not surprisingly, his project is based in the mobile space. It’s the Mowser website- a combination of HTML parser, transcoder, keywords and mobile directory.
The Mowser Blog picks up the story on what [...]

The iNewton is Here

I’ve a lot of thoughts on the iPhone, but let’s see a final product before I (a) rip it technically to shreds and (b) realise that it all means nothing and Apple could sell a Motorola Brick Phone to their fans for $2,000 and it would be hailed as revolutionary. Why don’t you just head [...]

More Thumbs Up To…

Sitting at Heathrow, and I’m blog posting. And catching up with Bloglines. And Gmail… and everything else involved. And in part that’s thanks to Tom Steinberg from My Society. Over a breakfast with Tom and Suw at the Euro OSCon, Tom mentioned his T-Mobile 3.5G Data card and how it was a lifesaver around the [...]

Anyone got a Battery for a Psion Series 7 or NetBook?

My Psion NetBook battery has given out in rather spectacular style, so if any of you have a Series 7, Psion NetBook or NetBook Pro kicking around that you’re not using anymore, or even better, a spare battery, I’d appreciate it if you could drop me a line at ewanspence at gmail dot com to [...]

What’s In My Gadget Bag, 2005 edition

As I was unpacking my bags from the USA November Mega Trip, I was looking at the amount of stuff that goes into the small “carry-on” bag I use during flights and that I carry round the conference. And then remembering all the ‘equipment’ pictures I’m familiar with from the multitude of aeronautical books. So [...]

Living “The High Life” on FlyGlobeSpan

Oh dearie me! I wasn’t going to buy anything on the flight home from Barcelona. I had my water and some chewing gum. Now that idea went out the window when the plane was delayed for an hour (bad weather on the preceding flight) but stepping on board the FlyGlobeSpan 737 has incredibly strange.
A Scottish [...]

N-Gage at Barcelona: The UK Crowd, Yo-Yo’s and Roy Walton.

So, carrying where I left off, the second leg of my “4 gigs in a month” schedule of conferences and events was an invitation from Nokia to come out to Barcelona to hear about the progress of the N-Gage since a similar media briefing at E3 2005. I’ve posted a report on my thoughts from [...]

Nobody Wants the Motorola iPod iPhone

Now here’s a monumental, earth shattering surprise:
One reason for the delay could be the missing third leg of the necessary triangle, the carrier. Verizon, Sprint and other Motorola partners are planning their own digital music services, which would allow subscribers to download music directly to their phones over new broadband wireless networks. That would essentially [...]

The Apple iPhone and MVNO: Some Thoughts

Time for some specualtion over what everyone seems to think is the Holy Grail of 2005 - a mobile phone from Apple with some sort of iTunes support.
It’s an open secret that Motorola are working on something iTuney, what with leaks on Engadget and Gizmodo, rumours of existing phones syncing into iTunes 4.9, and useful [...]
