The iPad and me

January 28, 2010

There’s a million posts around about the iPad today, and there will be a  million more tomorrow. My reaction is simply that I’ll be buying one, because I’m a geek, and that’s what I do.

Idiot post of the day

January 6, 2010

Sadly, because I generally enjoy his writing, it’s from Robert Cringely:
“iPhone and Android will be here for the long haul with the question being which of Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile, or Blackberry will die?”

UK BlackBerry Bold to come with Skype

July 22, 2008

At least it does on 3:
“3 Mobile will be preloading their BlackBerry Bolds with a Skype client to make use of the integrated WiFi for cheap VoIP calling.”

I suspect that this will be the same deal as the 3 Skype phone, i.e. Skype-to-Skype only with no SkypeOut, but even so it’s a pretty nice idea. [...]
