Hmm, I might be described as obsessive, but all the things that are possible in the mobile device world are fodder for my intensely overpowering mental illness. Why is it so? Why am I driven to distraction. by all of this possible shiny new, not really existent yet, newness? 

As an Eee and long time Axim user, the latter two devices, fascinate me, and the iPhone Nano, makes more and more sense every day, not a media player replacement, a dedicated phone, PDA, that takes all the best from the iPhone, and makes it really pocketable. You can all berate me now, but I think the iPhone Nano would be a good thing, fit in my pocket better.

So little mister reads more RSS feeds than anyone else in the world, has a rumour fest for you today, Why, “if they post it I’ll read it”, is that a warped quote from a movie?

Boy there’s a lot of ZAGGing on JAMM lately. It’s a good thing we’re not into zigging.

If you’re a regular reader of the site you know that InvisibleShield is a super duper polyurethane film developed to protect helicopter blades from wear and tear. Helicopter blades face lots and lots of bad weather and bird-related obstacles, so they need to be well protected. Adding this same level of protection to my humble PSP means that it will also be able to withstand minor hailstorms, collisions with pigeon beaks, but also scuffles with keys, pens, and other assorted pocket gangsters. This was my third time applying such a protective film, although I had only used skins from BestSkinsEver before this. Hit the jump to see if the third time was the charm or a big, crinkled plastic mess.

Finally, a reasonable application that will let me post from a WinMo device, right here on JAMM.

It took a little bit of investigation, and playing with, but Travelling Blogger, is the perfect solution for blogging on the go from a windows mobile device. It doesn’t offer a WYSIWYG editing interface, so it takes a little time to get it working right, and you will have to pull out any HTML skills that you have, to help with formatting your posts, but that’s not a lot to ask, is it?

On paper, this one is the real deal for a portable media player.  its specs just sing out to you.  A nice 3.2 inch screen.  Fancy new touch controls.  120 GB (yes, that is GB) hard drive to store all of your videos, photos, music, and other media.  Wireless connectivity.  FM radio…The list of features just goes on and on.  Like I said, on paper, this one is the best player I have ever seen.  But if we only relied on what we saw on paper, then the Redskins would be winning Super Bowls, and the Yankees would be heading toward their 53rd World Series Championship.  They all looked great on paper, but that is not why we are here.  What you really care about is the field performance.  To see how well these specs and features translate into a workable media player, and whether this one offers true competition for the iPod Touch and other media players, hit the jump and keep reading.
