Palm, CES, Thursday, The Rumour Mill!

Palm have made no secret about a big announcement, scheduled for this Thursday, they’ve even held a contest, so that excited, expectant, loyal Palm users could win a look at their next big thing.

What is expected, is at least the unveiling of an updated OS, the rumoured Nova? A post from TechCrunch today though, seems to be offering us a little bit more than just the OS.

We have information from a trusted source that the latest Palm smartphone running the Nova operating system will be launched Thursday. The new phone will have a full QWERTY keyboard that will slide down under a portrait-oriented touchscreen. We’ll have a mock-up shortly.

Yes they have a mock up for us, and a bad one at that, but their sources also make iPhone comparisons, to the OS not the form factor of the phone.

Anyone remember a show, “Ripley’s Believe it or Not”.

AT&T Tilt, Jilted, gets some HSDPA love!

Our good friend Clinton, over at Clinton Fitch dot Com has posted a great look at what sounds like some confounding stuff that mobile service providers get up to!

I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I’ve got a HTC TYTN II, on the way, [damn snail mail] so of course I’m looking for helpful software maniacally. So I’m reading and researching, and yesterday, Clinton tweeted about a useful app aimed at the TYTNII, Tilt, P4450 or if your a purist the Kaiser. Kaiser is a rather unfortunate naming faux pas, “don’t mention the war”.

 
KaiserTweak is a tweaking application that allows you to adjust various registry settings in your Kaiser device without having to actually go into the registry.  Think of it as Tweaks2K2 that is specific only to these devices (in fact, I use both on my Tilt now).

Clinton’s post though is much more than a look at a tweaking app, he rails at and questions the policies of mobile service providers, and rightly so! Hit the link below for the full article, and a bit of education. You’ll be especially interested in this if you’ve an AT&T Tilt, as it let’s you take advantage fully of their famous 3G network, will boost your download speed by 65%.

Review: Travel Genius by HeroCraft

I would like to start by saying that I was VERY good at geography when I was in grade school.  I am 30 now, so its not like that it was that many years ago.  However, it seems like the world has changed since the last time I had a geography quiz.  Gone are Yugoslavia and the USSR, and in their place are a bunch of smaller countries that all have their own capitals.  Just nuts!!!  I am very happy to see that the Amazon and Nile Rivers are still right where I remember them.  In the battle of Heather vs. HeroCraft Travel Genius, who is the winner???

Android about to be! Hopefully?

The Android OS is a little,  well actually a lot like Linux, as an open source operating system, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Android. With news this week that Android can power a netbook, we still haven’t seen any new Android phone, just a lot of speculation, lot’s of purported devices. Be they rumour, mock ups or actual drawing board devices, there is a video that encapsulates all of the recent thought’s on Android devices visually!

Whatever happens, this is a nice compilation of all of the recent conjecture on Android devices!

Free For All: SIM Manager V1.4

This looks really good for the price, and why would I bother with it, well I’ve got a TYTN II/HTC Tilt on the way. Not that I’m going to retire my Axims, but I’m finally going to be able to stop relying on cheap prepaid phones, and rid my pockets of a device. One less thing too carry is always going to enhance my mobile experience.

Now most of us wouldn’t think about the SIM cards in our phones, but they are a Data storage device as well as a connection manager. I use a 3g/HSDPA modem all of the time now, but when the  modem is connected to the PC it shows up as a USB storage device, go figure.

Considering that, wouldn’t you want a way to manage the data stored on your SIM card, in a straight forward intuitive way. Well it looks like SIM Manager is the application to let you do that with ease.

If you’ve a Windows Mobile phone you’ll want to check this out!
