Seriously trivial thoughts
After using my 22″ widescreen PC monitor at work for a couple weeks, the puny 12.1″ on my Motion LE1700 tablet was starting to look like my iPod Touch. Heck, even the 19″ on the family PC was lookin’ a bit small. I was happy to find that LCD monitors were quite cheap these days …

It states: the Nokia Nseries flagship (i.e., the N97) will start shipping to stores worldwide from this week!…Those members who have pre-ordered their new handsets will be one of the first in their country to receive the new Nokia N97.

When I pre-ordered my N97 a little over a week ago, the expected ship date was in July. However, according to this post, Nokia notified North American distributors that June 2 is the estimated shipping date of the N97. Moreover, according to the official Nokia blog: Pre-ordering will guarantee you are one of the first …
Found a nice coupon that saved me $175 so I’m taking a chance and pre-ordering a N97. The two primary reasons for picking this over the iPhone and Palm Pre are 1) the 5MP camera; and , 2) the WiFi Hotspot ability via JoikuSpot app. I’ll live with the more clunky interface and resistive touch …

After my poor experience with …
For years, I used Trillian Pro (TPro) exclusively to chat with all of my ICQ, AIM, MSN, and gTalk friends. I liked it cuz I could not only handle all of IM needs in once place, but it saved conversations, which is nice when you need to refer back to something. It would also monitor …
I had pretty much decided to go with the Palm Pre, but the more I read about the Nokia N97, I may just get that. Why? Tethering over WiFi Don’t have to switch to Sprint 5MP camera with good lens It won’t have the sexiness of the Pre, or the iPhone for that matter, but …
I had been using Trillian to IM all my friends from ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and gTalk; however, I switched to the web-based Meebo.com awhile back. Anyways, after being a little frustrated with the feature-lacking Facebook chat feature I just discovered that they added Facebook support to Meebo! It’s very basic as well, but you …
I’ve been reading a lot of the coverage of the new iPhone 3.0 update and only one site has mentioned the fact that during the Q&A, Apple said that Bluetooth can be “unlocked” on the iPod Touch 2g. Here’s the exact quote from the GDGT live blog coverage: 11:43AM – Q: Bluetooth on the iPod …
