New toy

Ennev — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:25:03 +0000

Just got an android phone just for the fun of it, I got a cheap Samsung Galaxy 550.

I mainly use my Ipad and will still do so, but I thought it could be interesting to see what is on the other side after all theses years of using apple’s product.

So far I am impressed with what this little 98$ phone gives. Android itself is o.k. but it is no ios. I think it is easier to work with an iPhone/iPad, you can still get a lot done if not more with Android, but you will need to be a geek to do so.

Will keep you updated on how is life with this.

Bye bye WebOS ?

It’s sad, Palm allays been an innovator, but this time I guess it was too late in the game to have significance. Will be hard to be special when your hardware run the same os than 15 others models.

Article from wired:

Rumor: Palm May Ditch WebOS for Android
An anonymously-sourced, unconfirmed memo partially quoted on Slashdot purports to show that Palm is ready to ditch the failing WebOS – which powers its Pre smartphone – and instead become yet another Android handset maker. The full memo was promised to be posted on Wikileaks at midnight Eastern last night. It is still not there.

Wozniak’s love the Nexus

Et tu, Brute?

On Gizmodo: Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak’s Favorite Gadget? The Google Phone [Apple]

Yes, you read that right. Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder and Gizmodo guest contributor extraordinaire, has confessed that his favorite gadget is Google’s Nexus One. Oh Woz, my darling, you just broke my iPhone-powered heart.

We know that Woz picked up an iPhone right when it first came out and it’s
perfectly OK that he picked up a Nexus One right on its release day, too. But proclaiming the Google device as his favorite gadget? Ouch.

I do wonder what his reasons are for that proclamation when he also explained that an iPhone is still his main cellphone.

A thing or two that every gadget owner should know.

Do we really need a super sized iPhone? Not me!

On gizmodo: Orange Chief Confirms Apple Tablet With Built-In Webcam [Blockquote]
“Oui.” That’s what Stéphane Richard—Orange’s Chief Executive Officer Delegate—answered to French journalist Jean Pierre Elkabbach on radio Europe 1, when asked about the imminent launch of the Apple tablet. He talked about a built-in web cam too:

Jean Pierre Elkabbach: According to Le Point, your partner Apple will launch a Tablet…

Stéphane Richard:

Yes.

Jean Pierre Elkabbach: …with a webcam…

Stéphane Richard: Yes.

Jean Pierre Elkabbach: …would Orange users benefit from this?

Stéphane Richard: Sure! They are going to benefit from the web cam, they are going to be able to, in effect, transmit images in real time. We are going to modernize, in essence, the video phone that we knew a few years ago… the size of the resolution, and the quality of the resolution will be better, and it will be available to all in France.

iPhone 3.0 improve podcast listening

Ennev — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:58:58 +0000

You can now rewind by 30sec increment and speed playback up. Cool for talk only podcast, you could go trough a 60min in 30 min! And it’s very listenable, it’s time compression so voices don’t end all like Mickey mouse.

More later! As i discover new features.

Rejoice, Microsoft Office and iPhone users, because now you can edit, create, and view Microsoft Word files. Dataviz Documents To Go doesn’t bring Excel editing as promised , but at least is here now for $5. The Excel creation and editing will be a free upgrade if you buy now. Like the rest of the Dataviz mobile editors, Documents to Go for iPhone uses InTact, which retains the format of edited files at all times. They also have another version for $10, which also supports Exchange attachments. [ Documents to Go and Documents To Go with Exchange Attachments ]

A Microsoft promotional Twitter account tells fans that a new product launch is coming and hold off from buying a Palm Pre. The idea that Microsoft may release a Zune-phone, based on its portable music player, has once again resurfaced. Although the likelihood of a…

So like it happen to me from time to time I lost a gadget, this time my iPod touch. Got inside a cab in a hurry and at the end of the evening realized that the iPod was no longer attached to my belt.

My favourite ipod game of the week

Ennev — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Got that apps by a pit of curiosity. I rarely go to the gory games I don’t want to badly influence my teenager too much, if I hear that your apps have cool graphics you’ll have my attention and this one does. It’s also very playable, gameplay is awesome.

So basically it’s very classic, you shoot zombies, go into houses to get more ammo and Money. At the end of each stage you can exchange money for new weapons and medkit.

did I say the graphics are awesome?

Here’s some screen shoot:
