Seriously trivial thoughts
Picked up this baby at CostCo for $170. Came with a nice case and even a headrest bracket so it can be mounted on the back of a front seat for people in the back. What is REALLY exciting about this unit is that it supports DIVX. I burned a bunch of DIVX (actually XVid) …
Updated my Nokia N800 to the so-called Diablo firmware. Much snappier now and the browser is now Mozilla based instead of Opera. I've been waiting for some breakthrough that would allow me to listen to Pandora.com on the N800 and decided to try. Well, it's a little sluggish–Pandora is a very “heavy” Flash app apparently–but …

Just installed JoikuSpot Light on my N95. Basically, it allows you to share your N95’s internet connection with other devices using WiFi. I tested with my N800 and was surprised how fast the connection was even though my N95 was connected to the Internet over Edge. It felt much faster and more reliable than tethering …
I've been obsessing over the iPod Touch ever since it's introduction. Today, Target was offering a $30 gift certificate with the purchase of an 8GB Touch. My resistence, already wearing thin, was put to the test. However, in the end, there are just too many reasons why the Touch can't replace my N800: Why I'm …
