Ultimate Comparison of the iPhone 3G to other Mobile operating systems and devices - Part I

Werner Ruotsalainen — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:59:50 -0600

At last, I was able to afford an iPhone 3G without an expensive data / phone plan (meaning a much higher starting price). Of course, I've been playing with the device since then. See my review HERE.

The HTC Tilt from AT&T is an interesting device to be sure. It has all of the personality of a PC yet fits easily in your pocket. Since it runs Windows Mobile Professional, it has gained quite a following from hard core tweaker’s and user’s who love to tweak their phones to get the most out of them.

REVIEW & COMPARISON: Spb Online

Werner Ruotsalainen — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:42:29 -0500

The Spb folks have just released their online portal, Spb Online. Three other reviews have already been published (some hours ago) on it. Therefore, I've paid special attention to elaborating on issues not discussed in the other reviews, particularly when it comes to comparing Spb Online to the competing alternatives – after all, I've published several articles on several areas Spb Online implemented: radio and TV streaming, podcasting and multiplayer games.

UPDATE: The multiplatform YouTube bible has been updated with info on Kinoma Play!

A much more advanced RMVB player is out!

Werner Ruotsalainen — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:55:42 -0500

You may remember my previous article on playing back RMVB (RealMedia Variable Bitrate) videos on Windows Mobile. Back then, the only hack available was pretty much useless: it only ran on Marvell (ex-Intel) Xscale CPU's and delivered a really inferior performance (very low video speed, useless for watching anything).

Major multimedia article updates!

Werner Ruotsalainen — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 05:38:28 -0500

I've updated the following tutorials / bibles:

The Multiplatform Lyrics Bible (info on the just-added lyrics-displaying capabilities of Conduits Pocket Player 3.7)

The Multiplatform Podcasting / Podcatching Bible

Werner Ruotsalainen — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:18:15 -0500

Listening to or watching podcasts is great fun. If you think they are boring, meaningless or can’t entertain you during, say, a long fight, you’re wrong. For example, watching all the clips of X-Play, played back on my VGA HP iPAQ 214 (thanks to Smartphone & PPCMag / iPhone Life’s Hal Goldstein for the gift!) could entertain me for long-long hours.

PREVIEW & CHART: The Multiplatform Podcasting / Podcatching Bible

Werner Ruotsalainen — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:28:31 -0500

It was a long time ago that Smartphone & Pocket PC Mag discussed Doppler on desktop. Neither are other articles (like Podcasts on a PDA...) up-to-date either, let alone covering all the current podcasting / podcatching solutions for all the three mobile operating systems I (currently – don’t forget I’ll also support iPhone when I get it!) support: that is, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Symbian S60.
