Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps 02/01/2005 08:35 PM

Continuing my series on mobile platforms, I now think killer mobile apps need mobile devices designed like game consoles, meaning that it has one or two slots for application cartridges.  Each cartridge contains one or more applications.  Cellphones would come with a built-in cartridge containing the phone app as well as others.

Adding a cartridge adds new apps.  Applications have two modes: running and stopped.  The Next-App button (aka Appy button) activates (brings to front) each running apps in turn.  Some apps can activate itself when an event fires (phone call received).  To see the list of available apps, keep the Next-App button pressed for a second.

Eventually, app cartridges will be advance to become platform cartridges, taking over the full functionality of the mobile device to offer better application platform services than the one that came with the device (i.e. easy to use app download service that auto-configures apps for your device).  If you don't like the built-in calender, just stop it and run a third-party calendar instead.

With wireless Internet access growing across the United States much the same way that cell phone coverage did a decade ago, more and more companies are joining the push toward Wi-Fi for all. One such company is AnchorFree Wireless, which recently launched wireless Internet access available indoors and outdoors in downtown Palo Alto, Calif. for US$4.99 per month. AnchorFree offers coverage along a half-mile stretch of the city, in the heart of Silicon Valley and less than a mile from Stanford University.

Adware Company Sues Other Adware Company

Adware Company Sues Other Adware Company
Over Evil Adware 07/28/2004 08:29 PM
180Solutions, who has been repeatedly trashed as being a spyware provider (but who somehow convinced a VC to give them $40 million), recently was accused of stealin g affiliate commissions via its adware. The company denied this claim quite loudly, and have always denied that they installed their app surreptitiously (though, a quick Google search suggests otherwise). Now, however, they have sued two "partner" companies who they claim did bad things with their software. This seems a bit sketchy. Basically, they're saying two partner companies they gave their application to bundled it with other programs and installed it without asking or warning users. Looks like they're suddenly trying to seem more legit, but if the spyware claims have been around as long as they have, and it only took until now for 180solutions to react, you have to wonder what they've been doing all this time.

Dell Axim X50 FCC Approval

Dell Axim X50 FCC Approval 09/01/2004 08:04 AM

The Dell Axim X50 series of Pocket PCs has received FCC approval, with a single image of the back of one of the devices coming to light. Of the two models, the higher-end one looks a lot more interesting, with a VGA screen, a 624MHz processor, and integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The FCC's confidentiality request extends to September 24th, so I would expect Dell to make an announcement before then, at least.

But I can give you the pictures, so here you go. A picture of its backside is after the jump.

Dell Axim X30 Review

Dell Axim X30 Review 05/19/2004 03:10 PM
Since this is the 1st 624mhz Pocket PC, there is nothing to compare benchmark scores with at this time, But compared to the older machines, it is "Smoking"! What is the perfect PocketPC? That is a question that will never be answered, there are too many opposing views and usage patterns for that to ever be accomplished. Today, Dell released the closest to my perfect PocketPC to date. It sports the fastest processor available at this time, SDIO SD Slot, a small and light form factor, Bluetooth and WiFi, and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Other than a few features that some find a must, it has everything I want in a PocketPC. The only real complaint offhand is the look. I mentioned in my X3i review last year that I really wish that Dell would have duplicated the modern, unique look of the X5 when they design the X3. Just in case you have not figured it out yet, the Dell Axim X30 is the same as the X3i with some major enhancements.

Axim X30 624MHz $267 Shipped

Axim X30 624MHz $267 Shipped 09/08/2004 07:22 AM

So finding out you have a dead fan on your videocard is sort of bittersweet. It sucks because it kills your machine, but hey! New video card, right? (Actually, I just got a replacement fan, but I now have a reason to eye those upcoming Nvidia 6600 GTs.)

But I was over at Newegg buying the fan, which caused me to go check Slickdeals (don't ask, it's just a habit), and I noticed that Dell Home has a deal right now where you can pick up the Axim X30 624MHz version for just $267 shipped. It starts at $349, drops to 15% off automatically, and there is a $30 off $300 coupon (LV2S68M28T3PB1). It only has a half-VGA screen (320 x 240), but it has built-in Bluetooth and WiFi, and of course that fast processor. I don't even want a new Pocket PC and I'm toying with the idea of getting one.
