Opera Mini 4.2

I’ve often opined that the desktop version of Opera doesn’t make a lot of sense these days, but Opera certainly has tremendous presence in the mobile world. Confusingly, however, Opera offers two mobile browsers, Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. If I understand this correctly, Opera Mobile is their “full...

Is Microsoft making its own phone?

Rumors of Microsoft doing a smart phone on its own have been around for a long time, most recently with talk of a Zune Phone, or zPhone. OK. But we have to take the latest example of this rumor with a grain of salt because of the source, the long-time Microsoft Haters at the Inquirer, a UK-based virtual...

Interesting new (for the US) Windows Mobile smart phones

I just received the following info from Microsoft, and I have to say, these are pretty slick-looking phones: With several highly anticipated phones on the market this week, Windows Mobile is getting ready for an exciting holiday season! Each one of these phones is also a great example of the power of...

Live Mesh is in beta … with Mac and Windows Mobile support

I should have dropped a note about this a while ago and of course I’m behind in writing about it formally. (There’s just so much going on right now.) Anyway, Live Mesh has moved from Tech Preview to Beta and is now available on Macs and Windows Mobile devices. I’ve installed it on my Macbook but will...

Steve Wozniak on the iPod

The Telegraph’s recent interview with Steve Wozniak has gotten a lot of play online today for some reason. I don’t see what the big deal is. He predicts the imminent death of the company's most popular product, the iPod. "The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he says. "Things...

iPhone 3G does not capture 17 percent of the US market for cell phones

It’s interesting to me how people contort Apple market share figures to make them look better than they really are. If Apple’s market share of, say, the PC industry isn’t high enough, we’ll just use the US figures without mentioning that’s what happening. Still not high enough? We’ll use a nebulous and...

The Cell Phone Wars

Slate has an interesting comparison of Apple’s very closed model with the iPhone and Google’s very open model with Android: In the two months since the App Store's launch, Apple has rejected several programs for seemingly arbitrary reasons that it won't disclose. Developers havegrumbled about...

Microsoft SkyLine, SkyMarket and SkyBox

A CNET story about a potential Windows Marketplace service for Windows Mobile--oh, sorry, it's an iPhone App Store rip-off for those not aware of history--has led me to a few other obviously related services. But first the CNET article : It appears Microsoft expects to launch an applications store...
