Palm announces the Treo 680 in the US

13 octubre, 2006 - 12:12 | Comentar

It it a good idea to announce a new Treo while the 750v is storming Europe? Considering how many PalmOS-addicted users still clutch to their 650s, and that this is a much cheaper model, apparently Palm thinks so.

An USB modem for Vodafone's HSDPA network

6 octubre, 2006 - 14:28 | Comentar

Not many cell phones are yet compatible with '3G broadband', and not every laptop has a PCMCIA slot for a modem card. Now Vodafone introduces its first external HSDPA modem, that can be connected to any computer with a USB port. At some traffic levels, maybe someone can unsubscribe from their fixed ADSL service.

Bluetooth wristwatches

28 septiembre, 2006 - 04:43 | Comentar

Besides watches and other posh fashion accessories, Fossil already sells a couple of wrist computers: the Palm OS-based Wrist PDA and the Wrist Net, that downloads data from a Microsoft-operated network. Now, Fossil is partnering with Sony Ericsson to launch several models of wristwatches that talk to the user's cellphone via Bluetooth.

The announcement release does not provide much detail, but it looks like the calling party's number will appear on the watch display when a call is received; it's not clear if you will be able to take the call using the watch itself, without taking the phone out of your pocket.

The watches will be sold by Fossil under the Caller ID and Abacus MobileWear brands, but they don't yet appear on the company website. Anyway, old Dick Tracy's wrist radio seems to be coming closer.

You won't find your most personal audio in your iPod, Zen, Sansa or Zune, but in your mouth: Tooth Tunes is a new toothbrush that transmits music to the ear by vibration through the user's teeth and jawbone.

Skype here, Skype there, Skype everywhere

Skype's marketing machine seems to be working at full speed. Either due to alliances or to actual product developments, these days we've been seeing Skype everywhere: four WiFi phones that will allow computer-less calls have been announced; you can purchase USB pen drives including the Skype client, so you can take your IP phone with you; and there are not one, but two new versions of Skype for the Mac, one of them with video.

Google Talk for BlackBerry

Yes, real-time email is nice, but if there's a communications application that really benefits from a permanent connection, that's instant messaging. Thus, BlackBerry users will be happy to know that they can now use Google Talk, Google's own messenger. And Google's network gets a big boost for further adoption in business circles.

Looking for better mobile pictures

13 febrero, 2006 - 17:35 | 1 comentario

Most new cellphones include a digital camera. This does not mean it's going to be actually used: just one in 20 users prints the pictures or posts them to a website, and just one in four sends them to others attached to a message. The problems: low image quality, slow network connections and user unfriendliness. These days we're seeing some remedies.
