Google and Samsung have announced the new hard- and software that will set the standard (in the Android universe) for the coming months: the Galaxy Nexus (the Google Phone) and Android 4.0 (the Ice Cream Sandwich). Time to start lusting for better and/or more – it cannot be denied that there is a lot to [...]

Android 2.3.4 On The ZTE Blade
Posted in Android, Mobile Computing, PDA on 09/08/2011 |
The last two months, I have been using the CyanogenMod 7 ROM on my San Francisco smartphone – because that seemed the best way to get Android 2.3 on the machine. Functionally, CyanogenMod is an excellent product: lots of tweaks and bells and whistles – just what a geek likes. But I am not too happy [...]
I was just whiling away the time, browsing a few smartphone-related websites. And there it was: Wiki software that runs on my Nokia E63! It’s called Fubuki, and although the version number 0.2 hasn’t changed since 2007 it does work without errors. Let’s call that a tribute to the Symbian platform as well as to [...]
I attended the KVIV / TI evening on Mobile Internet tonight. Interesting evening, even though the speakers had to admit that Belgium isn’t exactly top of the bill, thanks to generally high prices for mobile Internet access.
Machine translation can be fun! I tried it at work a couple of months ago, just to mock the author of the document – and yes, I know that was not a very nice thing to do. Today however, it was an absolute must: although I can understand a few Russian words I am incapable [...]
Not For Me, No

I held back from publishing my thoughts about Apple’s brand-new iPad last night, because I was very disappointed. But thinking it over made no difference, so here’s my official point of view: the iPad is just a blown-up iPhone. It looks great, is probably well constructed, but it’s missing features that I find essential, like [...]
Last year (of course ;-) I tried to install an unsigned Symbian application on my Nokia E63. Since that system requires signed applications only, I went over to the SymbianSigned website and followed the instructions for the personal online signing process. But several attempts later I did not get any further than an error message [...]
The last few days I have been spending many hours playing with my new cell phone, a Nokia E63. Most of it was fun, because Symbian S60 (3rd Ed.) is a powerful platform, but at moments it is frustrating to see that practice and theory do not match. For example: I have everything to transfer [...]
I saw a fine movie on television tonight: Don’t Come Knocking, made by Wim Wenders. The acting is excellent, the photography even more so. I guess I’ll have to buy the DVD if I want to see it again; sadly these movies stand little chance in the commercial theatre circuit. By the way: Sunrise is doing [...]
OK, so I should have noticed earlier that AvantGo had disppeared. Actually, I did notice problems while syncing my Palm, but I thought I had too much data in my Channels, or some other local technical hitch. It never occurred to me to check that AvantGo was still up and running. After all, there’s that [...]
How about yours? Check out the PDAmill Game Studios to see if they are still giving away their complete collection of Palm games. And “giving away” means “for free”, as in “gratis”. Thanks! I’m trying the Asian gamebox at this very moment…
Another Reason To Lust For An iPhone
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, PDA on 24/02/2008 |
Yes, I wouldn’t mind being able to combine my Palm and my iPob and my mobile phone into a single machine. So when a Palm emulation for iPhone/iPod touch [is] demonstrated, my lust for the iPhone grows yet again! Luckily – for my wallet – I’m a patient man. And besides: my iPhone would need more [...]
Migrating The 6233 To The iMac
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, PDA on 04/02/2008 |
After migrating to the iMac and Mac OS X 10.5 I suddenly lost the possibility to sync my Nokia 6233 with Apple’s AddressBook. Luckily I remembered that iSync needed a little hack, and the Mac OS Hints site told me how and where. In summary: you need to unzip this fileand put the unzipped Nokia6233.phoneplugin folder in the/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns [...]
At Last. At last I have migrated my contacts information from my Palm PDA to my iBook. Simple, you say? Well it is if you can connect both machines, but since the PDA is owned and configured by the company I work fro, things are not that simple… But, going over Outlook and using Steve [...]

Welcome, Little White Box. I have (at last, some may think) bought me an iPod – an iPod photo to be exact. Unpacking and trying out the machine was a pleasant experience – I must admit, that after all the tinkering I do with computers, old or new, it was nice to have a toy that [...]
