MegaSIM - One SIM to Rule them All

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

It's no secret that flash memory is getting cheaper and smaller. Given all this new mobile digital content it only makes sense to increase the capacity of GSM's existing removeable memory chips (SIMs). Enter the MegaSIM. The device on show today was not just vastly bigger in terms of capacity at ...

Sprint’s Power Vision + Samsung MM-A920: Initial Impressions (Impressed)

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Earlier this week, much to my delight, a Samsung MM-A920 from Sprint. I must say that (from my initial experience) I would be happy to have this as my primary phone. Sprint and Samsung combined for the first US MP3 phone release. It was way before we had any DRM ...

Sony’s new Bluetooth Stereo Headset Pendant (with remote and callerid)

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

It sure didn't take long for me to post something from Engadget. But this is what I've been talking about. The pendant alone looks like an MP3 player. It's Shuffle/Nano sized... hmmm... Hey Apple! Let's get it started already! Link: Engadget Mobile

Your iPod as a Bluetooth Headset

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Bringing me one step closer to my idea ;) is the Blueye In-Line Bluetooth Headset. This device connects between your mp3 player (or PSP) and stereo headphones. When your phone rings, you can pick it up by simply speaking into the Blueye (this thing is a mic too!). This devices makes ...

iPod + Sony Walkman Phone = Dbtel m50

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Someone is getting sued. According to the site, the device measures 9.9 x 4.5 x 1.8cm and weighs 80g. The display is a 176 x 220, 262,000-colour job. On the back, there's a two-megapixel digicam with a 16x digital zoom and an LED light. Unsurprisingly, the device plays MP3 files, ...

Motorola Motorola ROKR E2 - A Proper MP3 Phone

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

The original ROKR was met with some harsh criticism; mostly for its crippled iTunes functionality. People were expecting an iPod with mobile phone capabilities, and instead we got a Motorola phone with iPod-ish functionality. There is no such hype with the ROKR E2. In fact the only thing missing from ...

MP3 Player with Mobile Phone Functions

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

A few weeks ago I posted that Apple should build Bluetooth functionality into their iPods which will allow users to make and receive calls via their iPod which is paired to a cell phone. PhoneMag reports of a Korean MP3 player which already does that. At a first glance, it appears ...

Amp’d Like Apple - Full Track Dowloads Still Only 99 Cents

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

Yes, Amp'd is bucking the mobile system in offering 99c over-the-air entire track, dual delivery music downloads. Dual-delivery: on both your phone and PC! The article indicated that Sony-BMG will not offer their products on Amp'd. EMI, Warner and Universal, who are investors of Amp'd will. Perhaps I should l ...

T-Mobile lands EMI - Over 200k songs,videos and ringtones

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

T-Mobile Europe will offer it's customers over 200,000 songs from EMI. Content will include full-tracks, video clips and of course ringtones. In the past it seemed that the cellcos would offload content tasks to portal partners and other 3rd party content providers. T-mob obviously is aware of the revenues to ...

Bluetooth Pendant Stereo Headset - Hey Apple, Build This into your iPod

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Here is a nifty Bluetooth pendant-style stereo headset which will work with your PC, phone, PDA, or MP3 player. The device can be used for phone/VoIP calls or for personal audio. It is unclear if the device can be paired with 2 devices simultaneously. If Apple decided to build this type ...
