Nokia N900 Internet Tablet coming to T-Mobile USA
I enjoy using the Nokia N810 device from time to time to surf, use some old Palm apps with GarnetVM, and watch movies. I do find it to be a bit laggy at times though so it isn’t always with me. MobileCrunch posted some rumored news on the next Nokia Internet Tablet referred to as the N900, Rover, and Maemo Flagship.

29.5.2009Steve Ballmer on Web 2.0
Steve Ballmer is being
interviewed by Walt Mossberg
on stage at D5. Dan Farber is
blogging the talk over at
ZDNet. Here are the Web 2.0
takeaways:
Ballmer is
pushing the inter-relatedness
of software and Web services.
"We staked our ground... on
that value proposition."
Mossberg asking Ballmer about
Silverlight running on Linux
and the Mac, given that.
Ballmer, "Some things will
run better on Windows. People
ought to be able to exploit
the local richness if they
want to."
Now
Ballmer is showing the new
"Surface" computer. Ok, not
Web 2.0... but I think it'd
be pretty cool to interact
with a Web site on a flat
table. It's not a consumer
product... you'll see it
first in casinos and retail
locations like TMobile. Look
for it later this year. ..

30.05.2007How Android Hurts Microsoft
Joe Wilcox: Think "baby seals" with regards to the clubbing Google gave Microsoft today.
"Whack, whack, whack" was the sound
coming out of New York, where Google, HTC and T-Mobile
launched the Android-based G1. The
mobile phone goes on sale Oct. 22.
Google clubbed Apple, too, but Microsoft will be the more
mortally injured. Today, Google officially launched its alternative platform to the Windows PC...

24.09.2008Software Sim Unlocks the Apple iPhone
Since the day the iPhone, which is locked to use on the AT&T Mobility Network, was released to the masses, people around the world have been trying to
find a means of unlocking the phone for use on any GSM network. Some messy hardware hacks had surfaced over the past few weeks, but nothing the
average Joe could easily do.
Recently, however, the guys over at Engadget received a call from the development team from iPhoneSimFree.com.
They claimed they had a working piece of software that could effectively and easily unlock the Apple iPhone and wanted to prove it for all to see.
After only a few minutes, the Engadget iPhone was unlocked and running on the TMobile network. Calls, text messages and EDGE data all work fine. Heck,
with a little manual activation, YouTube even runs flawlessly. Of course, the visual voicemail feature is one that will not carry over to other
networks since it relies on a proprietary AT&T system, but I think we can deal.
Check out the full article for pictures and video of the
unlocked iPhone up and running.

24.08.2007Can't we all just get a distro?
Its no secret that open source is a viable alternative to pay for systems such as Vista and OSX; but why has it taken until now for laptop
manufactures to start shipping Linux as an option?
Many people like things that are free, no one will complain if you hand them something
at no cost to try out unless that's an OS (operating system). Linux has been essentially free from its inception but has failed to take a strong
stance in the current market place. One could contribute that to lack of ease when using the OS or the fact that many major players do not support the
open source world. What's the cause? The reason? The explanation?
It's pretty simple actually; with hundreds of distributions out
there the choice is endless (including
Neowin's very own
distribution). Consumers as a whole like choices but they don't like a whole lot of choices. Before you repent and say that the more choices
the better, it's not quite true. There is a popular business idea that says that there is a rule of three for any market place. It is the
essential idea that for good competition you need three strong competitors. This can be seen in many forms; Consoles: Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft,
Cell phone services: Verizon, Sprint, ATT (Tmobile is quite small in comparison) Domestic car makers GM, Ford, Chrysler. When you look at the
operating system landscape there is MS, Apple and Linux but the problem is that Linux isn't defined, it's literally hundreds of choices.
To make Linux a viable alternative to the masses, by masses I mean your parents can use it with ease; some simple but powerful things need to
happen. 1. A big name needs to be attached to a distribution. Apple and Microsoft are household names, Ubuntu is not. A name such as Google backing an
open source operating system would propel it immediately into the lime light. 2. Ease of use is a major issue. My mother does not want to compile her
own sources and thinks a kernel is only good for making popcorn. A simplified install (much like .exe) is needed as a standard for the Linux world. 3.
Driver support. A solid backing by all vendors is the next great push in Linux industry. Not only driver availability but instillation is another
issue as well.
So what can we do? You can start but trying small installations such as Open Office as a free alternative to MS Office. You
don't have to stop there either a simple switch to Google Chrome will also aid in your movement to open source. These are both small steps to a
long journey of going completely open source but the best part of it is that it's free.
A massive amount of distro's and a
sometimes complex installation process is hampering the massive adoption rate for Linux. If a big name backer will start its own distro or will back
an existing one the adoption rate will increase. We can help the cause by supporting open source, the fight is long and will be bloody but it can be
won....after all, it won't cost you one penny.
