Why Apple wins, why Nokia loses

by Jye on Apr 18, 2011 with 10 Comments

Reviews: Nokia, HTC & Apple For the past two months I’ve been with out my trusty iPhone. And sure, a devastating issue for anyone addicted to being validated (Twitter) and minutia (Facebook) of daily life. But what an eye opener. I tried both the HTC Nexus One and the Nokia N8. Let’s start with Nokia. Now, I’m am (was) a big fan of Nokia ever since m first 3210, my 8250 and most recently my Nokia e61i. All great phones on some great software for their time. But Nokia, how dare you ever consider the Nokia N8 a touch screen mobile phone. I honestly would ...

Turn off 3G to save your iPhone battery You know the situation: it's not even midnight and you're waiting from a call from the girl you just met in the last bar, and your iPhone battery reads 20% and flicks red.  Over the past couple of years I've worked out a list of 10 key adjustments to ensure you can get the most out of your iPhone battery.

Closing the Digital Divide

Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology Through innovation in technology we can be more connected to our physical world, we can be more connected.  Rather than being machines, sitting in front of other machines. Swankins passed this video on. And it really blew me away.  Forget about tablets, iPads, surfaces for a while - and think about all this.  It's already miles ahead of what we're considering new releases. To imagine this technology is incredible. To build it is genious.

iPhone App: Sleep Cycle

by Jye on Mar 24, 2010 with 2 Comments

Bio-alarm clock for iPhone I'm not one to really rave on about iPhone apps - but this really got my attention.  Sleep Cycle is a 'bio-alarm clock' now available on the iPhone. Using the sensitive motion sensor in the iPhone it measures how deep your sleep is (e.g. deep sleep versus REM-sleep or dream-sleep).  What's more is within the half-hour window before your set alarm time, it will  so that you're in the lightest sleep - and hence feel more rested than waking from a deep sleep. I trialled the app for the first time last night, and it woke me with one ...

Google Earth: Prado Art Collection

by Jye on Jan 27, 2009 with 1 Comment

Guest post: In the 16th Century Hieronymus Bosch put paintbrush to canvass and conjured up The Garden of Earthly Delights. This magical, often maniacal, account of man hangs on a wall in the Prado in Madrid, Spain. It is a triptych representing heaven, earth and hell, offering visitors to the Prado a visual specter of the otherworldly and the perverse. Standing in front of the painting I remember being overwhelmed with Bosch’s fantastical detail. I stared until my eyes watered from the strain and my ...

Vodafone meets Last.fm: Mobile the clear winner

by Jye on Dec 18, 2008 with No Comments

Just announced: Vodafone and Last.fm today announced a partnerships that will see Vodafone customers to integrate with the social networking music site. This is a great. So where do you get it? The Last.fm application is first available to download from Last.fm at www.last.fm/vodafonescrobbler, to selected Nokia handsets including the N95, N96, N78 and 6210 (other handsets will be available too soon too). This is a great move for Last.fm as I firmly believe that this will make the service not only more accessible but just as or if not more relevant that Apple's Genius.  The key problem with Genius is the fact ...
