Can I just say, some people have way too much time on their hands. I remember the hubbub associated with the news that someone had ported Windows to a Nokia device, Why oh why though if you were an Apple user, more importantly an iPhone user, Would you want to run Windows 95 on an iPhone.

Why anyone would want to actually run Windows 95 on any thing is still perplexing, As you can see from the video though, it is mainly emulator dependent on the Mac, and does not seem to run that well on the actual iPhone.

I suppose we have to accept that hackers are going to take advantage of our little pocket computers, and innovate with them. The iPhone has been well protected, but as more people get their hands on the SDK, we  may see more WhatThe’s like this. Now I’m a sceptic, the emulator action on the mac looks OK, but the iPhone seems to be showing a single graphic. Hmmm! *scratches head*

The original source for the video, is a site called GooDiPhone, some great comments to be had there, I found this on the UberReview though!

Even though it seems a bit left of field, this is another example of the power of the generation of mobile devices we are using now. Think about the last generation, they were just able to keep up with your first computer, Commodore 64! If your handheld is now running Windows 95, you’ll be running Vista on it by the end of the year.

Good or Bad, it’s a sign of things to come!

Ever embarrassed yourself at a big meeting, or church, or any where else that you really should have turned your phone off, or at least to silent or vibrate? What about at a White House press conference?

I have [not at a White House press conference] on more than one occasion, and it brings a point to mind. “Are we so dependant on our mobile devices [phones] that we disregard some basic etiquette concerning their use, or is it just absent mindedness?”.

Of course many of us go through our daily routine with an always on mobile, face facts, we need to be connected, but consider the  ramifications in some situations.

Think about this, if you were a press secretary for the president of the US, your reaction to the first interruption was reasonable, the second really deserved a secret service takedown!

Consider how, where and why you use your mobile in relation to the situation you are in, I implore you!

When you think about it, most mobile users don’t think about what’s under the hood of their device. Let me amend that phone. More than likely 90% of mobile users, no matter what the OS, under utilise their devices, and probably have no idea what sort of powerhouse they have in the palm [well Palm devices excluded, we are waiting for the Pre] of their hands. Me, I’m always looking at specifications, mainly Processor speed and Ram.

So thinking about the evolution of the mobile phone, the truly detached from a vehicle mobile phone, [not a car phone], we have gone from hernia inducing, over the shoulder, communicators, trending down to phones that, you would lose if you blinked, and finally found a form factor that is a compromise with a simple human condition that goes by the name of "usability".

With what seems to be the best form factor for a mobile device comes the miniaturisation and enlargement of the power we expect to be included in a mobile device now.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, is really the next step as far as I can see, handheld devices with a 1Ghz processor, this looks like the future of mobile computing, and gaming, and well , whack this in a WinMo phone and I’ll be happy!

There’s been a flurry of innuendo surrounding Windows Mobile Seven, in the past two weeks. Let’s look at what we purportedly know, apparently the base theme will be blue… and hopefully a working, stable version will be available to OEM’s early in 2010. So a whole heap of screenshots, well five, have surfaced, and I’ll happily reserve judgement on their authenticity.

I just see some inconsistencies between the shot’s that are surfacing at the moment, but if you were able to take these screenies and distribute them, you’d be working with a beta of the OS anyway. Generally I think it looks hokey, but considering that these may be from someone with a very early release, it’s a possible teaser, to see what sort of reaction this static interface will elicit. Hey, Show me a video, and I’ll be more enthusiastic!

Just a quick heads up, the mobile client for Microsoft’s MyPhone service, got an update today. There aren’t any obvious differences, except doing multiple syncs with the service are remembered and get quicker.

Which probably means that using the scheduling option, is more of a viable choice now, consuming much less data.

As for the online portal, it seems a little better at the moment, but it is time intensive to archive all of your data there, a great thing would be a ‘select all’ option for archiving your data. Nice to see though that MS are continuing to improve, what is intended to be an integral service in their ongoing mobile development.

All you have to do to get the update is open the client on your phone and sync, at the end of synchronisation you  will get an update message, you have a choice to delay the update as well.

Thanks to @EdHans for the news!
