The Aliph Jawbone Headset features noise cancellation, can crank pretty darn loud, and is a "thing of beauty" according to the reviewer.  The review is beautifully done, features tons of pictures and a video.  They gave this headset very high marks, so if you’re in the market, check this out.

This item, according to MobilitySite, will be announced at CeBit 2007:

"Called Gigabyte U60 this UMPC will have an interesting slid-out keyboard and will be based on Via C7-M mobile processor.  Gigabyte U60 UMPC will also come with 6.5″ (800×600) screen, 1.8″ 20 and 30 GB HDD, Wi-Fi b/g, 2 USB ports and SD/MMC memory card reader."

It’s nice to see these wonderful units catching on.  The first gen of UMPCs were more of a curiousity, but now they are becoming more mature.

New Linux Smartphone Looks Promising

I don’t care much for the design and the spelling of its name makes me cringe, but the upcoming Phreedom phone by Malaysian company GUPP Technologies is still worth some serious consideration.

This is the Gupp Phreedom Mobile Linux based phone.

I think I’d have to agree with Jenn K. Lee on the looks and naming awkwardness - but also on the fact that this phone looks promising nonetheless.

The spec for this device has got some real strong points - here’s part of the Pocketables description:

Mobile Linux 2.6 kernel, 5-hour VoWiFi (voice over wi-fi) talk time, “double tri-band” GSM/GPRS backup connectivity, 312MHz PXA270 processor, 320MB flash and SDRAM, and 802.11b/g radio with support for 802.11i, WEP, and WPA.

Nice to see some news on a good Mobile Linux based device.  For more details, check out the Pocketables post HERE …

Since 1993, Adobe’s Acrobat PDF format has grown to become the de facto standard for the distribution of electronic documents whether it be for archival purposes or for the mobility of documents. As the file format gained popularity, Adobe made the PDF an open standard which allows not just Adobe but everyone to use and implement the file format. It used to be that you would have to return home or to the office with mobile device notes and slides and sync to the desktop and then use a PDF creation tool to create full fledged PDFs, but not anymore!

Rain Effect is proud to present, FluidPDF, the first total PDF solution for the Pocket PC and SmartPhone!
