Information Week trumpets… iPhone: Catalyst For Touchscreen Revolution Never mind that Windows CE/Windows Mobile devices have been continuously providing touch screen devices since 1996.

Just read about this on Slashdot and went to see the site myself… PDA’s Banished To Oblivion This Half Term While I can appreciate the reason for the apparently opt-in ban, it doesn’t make sense to me. I think it is a good idea for kids and parents to all carry phones to keep in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I usually don’t mention a service I haven’t tried yet. But, I’m almost ready to hit the sack and don’t want to start playing with anything just now. And, yet, this service seemed interesting enough to blog it as a kind of reminder to myself to try it out tomorrow. kwiry (which I suppose is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

If you look at the chart in the IDC report… IDC Worldwide PDA Sales …you’ll note that Dell is the #4 worldwide PDA seller. Since Dell got out of the PDA business earlier this year, this can’t be good news for the PDA industry.

Yahoo! oneSearch Mobile

Yahoo! seems to be trying to provide more than one way for us to use their services from a mobile device. The client software for Yahoo! Go provides an attractive interface but was very slow on my Pocket PC and wasted too much screen real estate IMHO. Recently, it looks like they took the content […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I just noticed the other day that it also provide a mobile device display friendly format. Just add a /mobile after a tumblog’s URL. You can see the mobile display […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Do you Twitter? It seems like everyone is either Twitter-ing or Jaiku-ing these days. And, those who aren’t, seem to be life-casting. But, sharing your life via text seems a lot cheaper and easier to do than videocasting your life. The one exception may be those who chose to use Twitter via SMS and found […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

BusinessWeek’s Mobile Experiments

by todd on May 7th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Posted In: Mobile Devices, Mobile Devices, Mobile Phones, Mobile Devices, PDA

BusinessWeek appears to be trying out two different approaches to providing content to mobile devices. Their original Handheld Edition (right side of image) found at http://pda.businessweek.com/ has a simple clean interface that provides a lot of textual content per click (think Google). Their newer dot-mobi site found at http://www.businessweek.mobi/ looks somewhat graphically richer (think Yahoo […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
