Robert Scoble, a Microsoft employee, has posted some interesting “insights” into why you shouldn’t buy an iPod. His “first comments”:http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/01/26.html#a6361 were related to Microsoft’s WMA technology and how it’s superior to Apple’s use of AAC (an “open audio format”:http://www.dolby.com/company/is.ot.0011.TechOverview.03.html created by Dolby, Sony, AT&T, and Fraunhofer IIS). I’ve posted quite a few comments [...]
Have you gotten a new phone recently? Did it come with Bluetooth? If you don’t know, your probably going to get bluejacked at some point in the future.

I knew this was going to happen… just knew it. I purchased my T68is less than 6 weeks ago and now the Nokia 3650 is available. What’s so special about the Nokia? How about built-in camera, bluetooth, and a 4,000+ color display for starters. Yeah, I’m just a big geek… but so [...]
The inventor of the cell phone feels that “cell technology is regressing”:http://news.com.com/2008-1082-995667.html?tag=fd_lede2_hed and I tend to agree with him. Even though I’m a huge fan of cell phone technology like bluetooth, GPRS, and cameras, I’d really like to see a phone that works 100% of the time BEFORE getting all my nifty phone gadgets.

For the first time since I’ve had my new T68i I’ve decided to post something wirelessly. Yes, right now I am posting this from the ferry as two weirdos look at me funny. Appears to be a beautiful day in the city… la la la… wasn’t that a song by Journey?
