Windows Mobile to iPhone

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I’ve dumped my Vario II to get an iPhone. I am finding it an absolute revelation to use. The mobile browsing is what makes it streets ahead but everything is just so smooth.

Internet speeds on the road are quite slow but still usable. Once connected to wi-fi, it is in a class of it’s own. I can’t type quite as fast on it but because there’s no stylus to get out every time, it saves time before you start.

There aren’t any add-on bits of software like on the Windows phones yet but I found they all just caused my ppc to crash every 5 minutes anyway. Good riddance I say. Instead there are “Web apps” like widgets being developed.

The only faults I can find so far are so small, I’m not even gonna mention them.

Basically, it just works and you’ll wonder how and why Windows Mobile was ever even launched.

iPhone the mobile phones answer to Paris Hilton

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

iPhone the mobile phones answer to Paris Hilton:
Everyone’s talking about the iPhone. That’s hardly surprising when Apple, with the help of its many loyal disciples, has created a level of hype never seen before in the mobile industry.

There’s no doubt Apple is a unique company. But over the years, it has developed a fan base that at times resembles a new religious movement. Many of those fans have the attitude that everything Apple creates is fantastic, and that if you can’t see this, or disagree, you’re either the devil himself or need serious psychological attention.

Custom ring tone on the iphone.

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I do the following to add a custom reing tone to my iPhone 1.1.3 with iTunes 7.6:

I open a mp3 file in wavepad and then select 39 seconds to use as ringtone. I copy from the mp3 file and then paste the selected into a new project in wavepad. Save the file as a m4a file. Next change the extention to m4r and open in iTunes. Itunes will imprt the file to the ringtone folder. Next select it to sync in iTune from the ringtones tab and your there.

Mobile phones

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Mobile phones (otherwise known as cell phones in some parts of the world) are revolutionising communications across the globe, more so in developing countries where landline infrastructure is lacking in many rural (and some urban) areas. Mobile phones represent the only means of communication for hundreds of millions of people

At the same time, mobiles have opened up huge economic opportunities for their owners. They can now be more easily contacted when work is available, they can use them to advertise their services, receive market prices, job information, and so on. Others now make a living ’sharing’ their phones and charging non-owners to make calls. Some make a living charging phone batteries, selling top-up vouchers, or covers and chargers

If you’re interested in how mobile phones, used socially, are changing the face of the planet - and in particular developing countries - then let’s share news, experiences and knowledge

With an increasing interest, and momentum, in this area right now, this is a great time to get connected with fellow Group members - researchers, practitioners, bloggers, ICT professionals, developers, authors and members of the general public all interested in this field.
