Dell Sells Samsung Q30 as Latitude X1

Dell Sells Samsung Q30 as Latitude X1 03/30/2005 02:03 PM

Dell surprised me today with the announcement of the Latitude X1 Ultraportable, better known around these parts as the Samsung Q30. Dell licensed the design from the Korean manufacturer and is selling it through their site starting at $1,700. It's a fine bit of laptop, with a 1.1GHz Pentium M, sealed anti-spill keyboard and all the fixins'. It's not quite as nice looking as the Samsung model with that dour Dell grey, but who cares? This is a great little laptop for a very reasonable price. It might even miss the Dell laptop curse, too, and stand more than 12 months of abuse.

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell 03/30/2005 04:59 PM

In an InfoWorld Gripe Line Blog, anonymous Dell employees are asked to make their feelings known about working for Dell. As we all know, Dell moved their tech support to India and they have employees in other parts of the world now too. It sounds like the new users dumb questions and working with Windows constant crashing and errors have driven even the Indian support workers to the brink of giving up. Here are a few quotes from the above story..

Back about eighteen months ago, the comments started off pretty apologetic about the Dell support gripes readers were airing. A poster who said he or she had just resigned after six months with Dell support in Hyderabad said that Dell technicians would sometimes know right off that a problem required a replacement component, "but we are bound by company policy which prohibits us from dispatching components until we finish the script given us by Dell management," the poster wrote. "I basically felt really bad in situations wherein I had to make really old people open up their computers, and I did in fact meet people on the phone who would be in tears if we told them that they need to open their machines. 

"I too am working in Dell tech support," the poster said, saying his job had been to route calls to the proper support group. "The great thing is that tomorrow is my last day here. Great because this by far has been one of the least gratifying and frustrating positions I have ever held. Yes, there are extensive and considerable problems with Dell tech support. Their outsourcing to India is not even the least of them. Every day is a continuous assault by absolutely clueless and irate customers and an ineffective phone-based support system that is enough to make anyone crack. I'm saying that it all sucks: Dell's systems and their support and the morons who purchase them ... So many times I've had to restrain myself from telling customers who are whining about what a piece their Dell is that, hey, guess you should've bought a Mac. Goodbye, Dell!"

Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

What's cooler than hanging with your fellow iPod users on Miami's South Beach on September 1st? How about going home with a brand new iPod mini in your pocket?

Yeah, that probably got your attention. But thanks to event sponsors iPodResQ, the iPod mini is just one prize among many that we'll be giving away at the South Beach iPod Garage Party. So what do you have to do to win? All you have to do is show up with your iPod, connect it to our sound system, and play "DJ" for twelve minutes as you share the highlights of your own music library with the rest of us (as many songs as you like, as long as it fits within the time limit). Yep, it's your very own twelve minutes of fame.

Samsung P777 Released On Cingular

Samsung P777 Released On Cingular 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

Cingular is now exclusively offering the new Samsung P777 (formerly the SGH-P777, I think) as the first in Samsung's new line of high-speed (EDGE) multimedia phones. The phone features an integrated MP3 player as well as a camcorder which allows the user to send up to 30 second video clips and to record up to one hour of video onto its 100MB of internal memory. It's a slider design with a 262k color display and includes an AIM client. The camera features a 4x digital zoom and an image brightness feature to correct bad shots. Available now through Cingular for $300 (with a two-year contract).

Mossberg on Apple's iPod Mini

Mossberg on Apple's iPod Mini 02/11/2004 09:37 AM
Walt Mossberg, columnist for The Wall Street Journal, has written an article today largely praising Apple's new iPod Mini...

Walt Mossberg like the iPod Mini 02/11/2004 12:07 PM
Walt Mossbertg, the technology columnist at a little paper called the Wall Street Journal reviews the new iPo mini, and over all he likes it. Of course, he would like it a lot more if it were $50 cheaper, a common complaint and one I am sure Apple will address as for price of those cute Mini harddrives goes down. Of particular note is this little tidbit:

In fact, the latest version of iTunes even senses if you have a Mini, and if your song collection exceeds its capacity, the software can optionally auto-choose a selection of songs that will fit. It builds this selection, in part, based on which songs you've played most often or most recently, and which you've rated highest in iTunes.

This is the first I have heard of this feature, and I must say it is pretty cool.

Mossberg: Clones give iPod 'a run for
its money' 10/29/2003 10:20 AM
After two years of market dominance, Apple's iPod is finally getting "a run for its money," according to Wall Street Journal columnist Wall Mossberg. Mossberg's latest Personal Tech column, entitled Attack of the iPod Clones, discusses the burgeoning threat of Apple's MP3 player market competitors. Though mainly of interest to Windows users -- as two of the devices Mossberg mentions are, for now, for Windows only -- it's worth comparing how Apple's own offering shores up against some big names in the high-capacity MP3 player space.

The Wall Street Journal's technology columnist, Walter Mossberg, t akes a look at Sony's new 20GB Network Walkman NW-HD1, the first Walkman portable music device to feature a hard drive (subscription required to read the article). Already dubbed an "iPod killer" by some industry wags, the Walkman fails to impress Mossberg on several points, including "confusing" user interface, "tedious" song-loading process that took more than two hours to transfer 416 songs, and less robust companion music download service that also sports more restrictive rules than the iTunes Music store. "The iPod wins this round, and remains champion," said Mossberg.

Samsung P207 with Speech-to-Text 04/15/2005 01:01 PM

Samsung has released the P207 on Cingular today, a black flip phone with EDGE capability. It's not all that exciting in general, but it does have one particularly interesting feature: a speech-to-text technology that lets you speak SMS messages and emails into the phone in lieu of typing them in. If that works well, that could be a fantastically useful feature.

MobileTracker has the basics, including this tiny picture we ripped off. I would expect to hear more from Samsung real soon, as references to the SGH-P777 are starting to appear in marketing literature for other products.

Samsung Speech-to-Text Phone 01/06/2005 11:39 AM

Since I was cursed with stubby fingers, texting's always been a pain. So you can be sure I'll be scrambling to land one of the first SCH-a890s, equipped with voice-recognition technology. Still, I guess I shouldn't get too excited--so-called QuickPhrase only recognizes a list of pre-programmed sayings, like "Will call you later." But I'm guessing it won't take long for them to offer firmware upgrades that greatly expand the number of phrases. I give it 6 months before the SCH-a890 can understand such SMS standbys as "Sorry, baby, but I was out drinking with Rob and lost my house keys." If I had a nickel for every time I've sent that note...

If you're the type who dreads being dragged kicking and screaming into the use of a cell phone, Samsung sells their Long Range Cordless Phone. With an incredible (for landlines) 30-mile range, the set includes a caller ID-capable LCD and is able to communicate with the base-station, acting as an intercom. It includes a car charger and an outdoor antenna with 50 feet of cable that could very well violate my Homeowner's Association's CC&Rs. Either way, if you want to use your landline anywhere in town (mountains and buildings aside) without a cell phone account, this $300 option from Samsung is one to consider.
