Thinking about getting an iPhone? — Say Hello to iPoor!

Aug 102007
 


Bright idea from Steve Nojobs against buying an iPhone:

Think again. With iPoor on the scene, buying an iPhone is almost a humanitarian crime against yourself. Do you really want the iPhone’s sexy, metallic body when you can have colorful plastic? Here’s more reason to make your next purchase an iPoor.

It’s Beautiful
The iPoor is the most gorgeous and simple phone ever created. Its beautiful, colourful outer casing is bound to turn heads. The huge pink antenna is not only attractive but functional, providing an astonishing 25 foot range.

Stellar Battery Life
Life just got simpler. No other phone offers the reliability and simplicity of the iPoor. In the package are real maps you can use to easily locate the nearest available iBooths TM in your area. iBooths are now available at malls, restaurants, and other public places near you.

Much more…

Test drive the future: Nokia Beta Labs

Nokia Beta Labs
Just read via Balagopal NKnair’s blog the opening of the Nokia Beta Labs.
The latest beta app is a Mobile Server to access your mobile directly via Internet:

Mobile Web Server lets you name your device and make it accessible in the Internet with a browser. The software includes several applications from content creation to remote usage, as well as it enables creating your own applications and content.

That made me even sadder to have bought the N90, with it’s old 2G platform…

A mobile web developer’s guide

Jun 232007
 

While reading Scott Janousek’s blog (a post about creating and testing mobile web sites with Adobe CS3), I followed a link to a free Mobile Developer’s Guide.
The book is interesting and gives a nice overview of what mobile developer can do to offer a better experience to their visitors.
In Switzerland it is definitely two early for mobile web site, mobile data transfers are too high to create a real market and services are not enough “2.0”. Anyway I had develop a version of my site for mobile phone (mobile.metah.ch) but I had very few success with it (it’s already two year old) and the book made me realize that I really need to do a new version (I’m too lazy…).

Have a nice read ;)
