The RAZR’s Successor, or, More Of The Same
04.21.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsOne more RAZR-beating post before the weekend: Engadget Mobile has pictures of what’s rumored to be the RAZR 2, or “Canary”. It’s still thin, looks a bit narrower, has a glossy finish, and a giant bulbous bottom. Yay.
The best bit, though: they say “it uses the same software build as the RAZR V3x” — so [...]

I’m Not The Only One With RAZR Burn
Motorola’s latest quarterly results give some indication into what the RAZR’s doing for them… and it’s not all good news, says one Wall Street analyst. After I said that Moto was beating a dead horse, Russell Beattie wondered why they should mess with something that works. It’s a fair point — but the results go [...]

Treos Trudge Along
04.19.06 | Permalink | Comments OffTreo sites are abuzz this morning with blurry images of the Treo “Hollywood”, the next rumored device from Palm. I slated Motorola a bit during CTIA playing out the RAZR trend, and I think Palm faces a similar issue.
They’ve been talking for a few years about how smartphones are their core business, and that [...] -

Mobile Vs Computer
03.21.06 | Permalink | 11 CommentsI was thinking that an interesting test of how advanced mobile phone evolution has got would be to ask if there was anything you used your mobile for, when your computer was readily available.
Of course, I know that mobiles are generally used when you’re out and about and don’t have a computer with you. But [...] -

Turn Your Phone For Silence
03.06.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI love the way Paul Golding thinks. All too often techie people (and Paul’s one of the best) make things over-complicated. Whereas Paul seems to think of the simplest and most elegant solution, in a nice out-of-the-box style.
His latest idea is switching the phone into silent mode by simply placing it face down on a [...] -

Sprint PPC-6700
I’ve been playing around with the PPC-6700 from Sprint (otherwise known as the HTC Apache), their latest EV-DO Pocket PC handset. There’s plenty to like about the device — QWERTY keyboard, 3G, Wi-Fi — offset by some minor annoyances, but overall, it’s pretty nifty. If you’re looking for a PDA phone, or an alternative to [...]

Thanks, Bill. In Praise of the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
01.26.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsJust before Christmas, I developed really bad pains in my left wrist. After a few days I self-diagnosed these as being some kind of Repetitive Strain Injury from typing too much and more importantly, in a poor position. It got so bad that it was agony to type and I had to take a few [...]

ROKR II, Son of ROKR
Over at Mobhappy, I’ve just posted on a BusinessWeek story about Motorola and Cingular’s plans (or hopes, really) for the next ROKR model:
It’s not clear, however, if the phone will be compatible with iTunes, with Motorola saying it’s up to Apple and Cingular: “We will definitely do an iTunes version if that’s what Cingular wants,” [...]

Convergence Can’t Be A Catch-All
11.14.05 | Permalink | Comments OffWhile Hong Kong may have the highest penetration of music phones in the world, they’re still not impressed by the ROKR, preferring instead Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phones. One major reason being cited is the W550i’s far superior camera, and James Pearce at MocoNews makes the great point that converged devices can’t cut corners on any [...]
