Nokia Booklet. Specification Update. Price. Thoughts on Battery life / Performance.

Posted on 25 August 2009

The Nokia Booklet is really just another netbook but there’s a few things that make it worth analysing. The brand, the battery life claims and the ‘HD’ element. We’ve just had some confirmation about the specs and now we have enough to go on in order to analyse the Booklet and highlight some important aspects. The specification update comes via All About Symbian the well-connected UK-based lads who are confirming that the CPU in the Booklet will be an Intel Atom Z530 1.6Ghz part, the same as you’ll find in […]

‘New Paradigm’ MIU HDPC.

Posted on 25 August 2009

Talking about MIDPhones, here’s an update on one that’s been knocking around in bitmap form for quite a while now. It’s the dual-CPU, dual-OS MIU HDPC. (Hybrid Dual Portable Computer.) Rather than going for the all-in-one OS like Moblin is, MIU have basically stuck a phone on top of a 4.8 inch Windows XP ultra mobile PC although to give them credit, it does look a little more attractive than it sounds.     There are some interesting features too. If the specs are to be believed, MIU have put a […]

Posted on 25 August 2009

I was pretty impressed with the netbook section at this particular store. There was the Sony VAIO W, the Asus Eee 1005HA, and the HP Mini 1000, among others. Up until then I hadn’t seen much of the VAIO W so I spent a bit playing around with it. The first thing that I checked out was […]

Twitter and GPS will have a major impact. Advertising first.re

Posted on 24 August 2009

The problem with launching a location-enabled service is that there are hundreds of other services already out there. The early adopter user base is spread all over these services and it makes it hard for any to gain traction and critical mass. The other problem is that each application has a fixed use as defined and programmed by the developer which means it may not hit the target requirement. I’ve always said that Twitter needs out-of-band GPS  information in order to make tweets more relevant to the user and to […]
