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.

Personal note: yes, I'm still here

I haven't had the time to post anything the last few weeks.

UPDATE: Streaming Radio Compliance chart

Werner Ruotsalainen — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:06:36 -0500

I've just added the just-released Kinoma Play 1.0 and Spb Online 1.0 to the chart of Sneak peek: the Main Chart of my forthcoming Multimedia Audio Streaming Bible!

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 update to the Podcasting / Podcatching bible!

Werner Ruotsalainen — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:04:20 -0500

I’ve just finished updating the Podcasting / podcatching bible with

- Hands-on info on the just-released Microsoft Zune 3.0

BlackBerry software news (WinMo: a quick look at the mobile port of Civ IV)

Werner Ruotsalainen — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 14:43:21 -0500

This article may be of interest to not only BlackBerry users, but also those of Windows Mobile; particularly ones that would like to know more about Sid Meier's Civilization IV: War of Two Cities from Concrete Software, also promised for Windows Mobile. I’ll also elaborate on three titles also existing for Windows Mobile.

REVIEW: excellent action-puzzle Dungeoned

Werner Ruotsalainen — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:45:08 -0500

The Redshift folks are back with an excellent title! Some months ago, they’ve announced they’d completely leave the Windows Mobile platform because of the rampant piracy. Now, they’ve returned with a remarkable action-puzzle mix, Dungeoned. If you like a combination of fast-paced action and puzzle games, you will really want to give it a try. It’s a bit similar to some maze games (for example, Astraware’s Mummy Maze, Monkeystone’s Hyperspace Delivery Boy!

Another 3D Arkanoid clone, Arkanoi3D released

Werner Ruotsalainen — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:24:16 -0500

You may still remember my roundup of 3D Arkanoid titles (if you haven’t read it, do it now; note that the chart has bad HTML markup, which will soon be fixed). A brand new 3D Arkanoid clone, Arkanoi3D has just been released for both touchscreen-enabled Pocket PC’s and touchscreen-less MS Smartphones (the latter even including 176*220 ones).
