My old friend Jason Dunn bought a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook and recorded a detailed unboxing video (embedded above). Looks like a nice netbook.

Evernote Starts Podcasting
Evernote is one of my favorite apps because it does what it does well (record, store, and retrieve notes of all kinds) and because it has a great web interface as well as several native apps for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, and the iPhone. They just published their first podcast. I haven’t listened to it yet because the pipe for this hotel’s WiFi server is mighty tiny. However, you can find it at…

AT&T/T-Mobile Deadzone On One Side of Empire State Building
I spent the week in New York City participating in the ThinkMobile conference. It ended this afternoon. So, I decided to walk down to the Empire State Building and visit the 86th floor observation deck. The video above was recorded using a Canon PowerShot G9.
I discovered that neither my T-Mobile nor my AT&T Wireless phone could get a signal on one side of the building. However, both had 4 bars when I went around to the other side.

Widgets for Windows Mobile 6.5
My friend Ed Hansberry wrote an interesting item for Information Week…
What’s New For Developers In Windows Mobile 6.5? Widgets!
Microsoft’s Widgets for Windows Mobile 6.5 looks a lot like Nokia’s S60 Webkits and Palm’s webOS for their upcoming Pre. All provide the ability for web developers to use their skills to develop mobile apps.

LifeHacker Says iPhone 2 < Android < iPhone 3
I thought LifeHacker’s article…
Android Versus iPhone 3.0: The Showdown
…would be just another item with providing a generic comparison of a few features. But, nope, anyone interested in a feature-by-feature comparison of the current iPhone 2.0 firmware features with the current Google Android features and the upcoming iPhone 3.0 features should take a look at the color coded matrix in the article where light-red/pink indicates missing features, a pale green indicates feature presence and a pale yellow includes availability with provisions. According to this scorecard the current iPhone 2.0 units are missing a lot of features, Android has over half of the features with a lot of provisions, and iPhone 3.0 is nearly all green. Nice matrix. Run over there to read it, then come back here 🙂
