Freedom on the Handheld, why is it important?
Its been a while since I last wrote anything but, after reading about AT&T’s talks with Apple about extending the iPhone exclusiveness on AT&T until 2011, I began thinking more and more about the vendor lock-in. My dad actually admitted the other day that he wants an iPhone but finds the requirement of a data [...]
Up to the second election coverage
Well it’s that time of the leap year cycle again. It’s time to cast our votes for our new leader for the next four years. Like always, there’s a lot of tension about who’s going to win. However, unlike always, we now have the capability of up to the second tracking of election results and [...]
Fennec Video Preview
A quick video walkthrough of Mozilla’s Fennec on the desktop. It’s a nice little preview of Fennec’s new features.
Keep in mind though that this is an early build, so a lot of these bugs have probably already been smoothed out.

Features to look forward to in Fennec
One of the wonderful things about open source software, is that even though there aren’t any binaries available to install the software with, the product is still available. Mozilla in and of itself is a foundation dedicated to open source software (Firefox, Camino, Thunderbird, and the like are distributed under the Mozilla Public License), meaning [...]
Mobile Photoshop.com site launched
Well today is the payoff day for those that purchased the lower end smartphones. The Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile beta site has launched and (reportedly) is taking registrations for people who have Motorola Q9’s, Samsung Blackjacks (1 or 2), or the Palm Treo 750w.
If you have one of those devices, you might want to pop [...]
Mobile IE6 first look
Well everyone, here it comes. Microsoft is finally pumping out a Pocket IE upgrade that provides Desktop-like browsing and even some Standards Compliance.
Now Microsoft calls this update "6 on 6" (Internet Explorer Mobile 6 on Windows Mobile 6.1), and it breathes some fresh new life into Microsoft’s Mobile OS.
I personally say this is a [...]
Speculations and networks
First, I’d like to make it well known that this is not an attempt to raise anti-iPhone sentiments. There are plenty of good reasons to hate the iPhone, but this is not one of them. This is more of a reason to hate AT&T. It is ironic that the iPhone is the perpetrator though.
However, sentiments [...]
The Dark Night: win a copy of mVoice
So dictation onto your phone tends to be a bit vague and ominous, especially if you’re trying to drive down the road and have a thought that you want to remember. Thing is, Windows Mobile’s voice dictation notes are a bit limited on features, they pretty much record just a couple seconds of audio. What [...]
An Opinion: The Future of Windows Mobile
So I wrote a rather scathing and insulting post when I was a bit worked up about what some people are saying about Windows Mobile, but I decided not to post that one.
Instead, I’m going to offer an opinion, and take it as just that, an opinion.
I’m going to strongly disagree with both of [...]
Free Exchange via mail2web
So you’ve got a Tilt and want the features of having an Exchange account but don’t work for a company that employs this technology (or at least gives you usage of it) and don’t want to spend to A.purchase Exchange and run your own server or B. want to pay for a hosted solution.
Fortunately, a [...]
