… when it comes to Mobile Data Access.
A friend just linked this in an IRC channel and I felt a small kernel of anger well up in the blogging portion of my brain:

blackberry 8800 Xbox 360 mashup

My shit is finally coming together here. Yesterday afternoon, after weeks of watching the Rogers website and pinging friends and people Who Know Stuff, I finally secured a BlackBerry 8800. As proof of it’s awesomeness, I am composing this article on it. I have yet to take it for a drive in my car to [...]

MWSF2007: iPhone, tv

While everyone recovers from yesterday’s mind-blowing MWSF keynote, sober heads are beginning to post reactions and even criticisms to the iPhone.

I’ve been really impressed with the connection to the factory Bose head-unit in my car and I daresay it works much better than the Alpine iPod interface I had in the Subaru. It replaces the CD Changer, but that’s not really a [...]

Jabra Headset

I’ve been using a Jabra BT800 headset for around a month now and have come to really appreciate it. I initially got it as a stop-gap until I could get a more permanent BT phone solution in my car but have decided to stick with the headset instead of hacking up my interior and splicing [...]
