G1 Touch revealed today!
Jun 24th
T-Mobile uk announced the G1 touch (HTC Hero) today and its design has come as a bit of a shock to me, as I was expecting to see another rebrand of the HTC magic.
The new G1 Touch will be made available from mid July both online and in store.
The G1 Touch will be free from £40 per month on Flext with £225 of credit including unlimited internet browsing
I think I'll stick with my G1 for now, though I do have an upgrade with Orange available, so I may have a look at the HTC hero which Orange announced today which will also be available from July.
MSDict Viewer for BlackBerry®
Jun 23rd
One app I cannot live without on the BlackBerry® has to be the MSDict Viewer, it's user friendly interface is easy to work with and a pleasure to use.
With MSDict Viewer you have the option to download the whole dictionary to your devices internal memory, your SD card or simply leave it be on the internet! There are many different languages available the largest being 7,950KB. There’s also “word of the day” and “random word” in the menu to keep you entertained! It will also read any word you have copied in an external application upon start up, for this to work you have to manually exit the app each time you have finished with it and also have “read clipboard on start up” selected in the preferences field.
The compatible device list for this app is pretty impressive too, I can't see a BlackBerry® device that has been left out, there is even love for the Storm!
So if your speeling is as atrowscious as mine check out the fully functional 15 day trial here it is then €19.99 to purchase.
Incidentally a similar app is again available for free on the G1!
Shazam for BlackBerry
Jun 23rd
Here’s a classic example of sublime madness, to enjoy Shazam on my BlackBerry I have to hand over some of my hard earned! Where as I can have it for free on my G1! So for now I’ll delete Shazam from my BlackBerry and review it on the G1 at a later date!
I have emailed Shazam customer support regarding this so I’ll post back when I hear from them!
Welcome to Nanu’s Blog!
Jun 19th
Welcome to my blog, I intend to use these pages to review and comment upon the gadgets etc that play a part in my life, I am an avid Blackberry fan and
my addiction started with an 8700, I then progressed on to the 8300 Curve and now the Bold. As with many people who have had a taste of BlackBerry I became addicted within days, the BlackBerry now goes everywhere I go, much to Maud’s disapproval.
Next we move on to my newly acquainted device and that is the Google phone, the HTC T-Mobile G1. And all I can say is wow, the Android platform in my opinion will play a big part in the future of mobiles and even computer OS’s. There is already a lot of support for the Android platform and being open source it allows developers a lot more freedom, not only that in comparison to the BlackBerry, applications are so much cheaper, perhaps my only complaint for BlackBerry is the ridiculous amount charged for applications.
I also recently invested in an old G4 iBook and again I am really impressed, the Mac OSx works wonderfully and even running Leopard on an old PPC device works well, In time I will be replacing my desktop PC in favour of an iMac, admitedly I won’t be doing away with windows altogether I will run bootcamp so I still have access to XP.
