I took quite a risk coming to Paris today. Huge risk. I didn’t bring a guide book. I didn’t bring a map. I didn’t even print out a Google Map of the hotel’s location. In fact I didn’t even lookup the Mobile Monday Paris location until I was in my hotel room. A prepared ...

I like to follow the major magazines, but it’s hard to access their content on my smartphone.  The content needs to be simply formatted with few bells and whistles so the articles are quick and easy to read.  I recently found a new service that sifts through publications like Wired, The New ...

We’ve been all over WiMAX since it first started to appear in the U.S. There are few things we like better than broadband everywhere, and WiMAX qualifies, at least once it gets rolled out.  We’ve also been hard on the players over how long it’s taking to get WiMAX out in the wild....

I can’t believe another week has flown by so quickly.  Mobile Tech Manor has been hopping with new gear coming in the door and lots of software testing.  The BlackBerry Storm has been getting a good workout and the iKindle has appeared on the ebook front.  Come on in and visit with me a spe...

I’ve been badgering Dan to write an overview piece about himself ever since he took a step back from Howler. Whilst his priority is, I suspect, to do a bit of relaxing (from what I saw of Howler, it was fairly full-on, 18 hour days, that sort of thing) I don’t think that should be allowe...

I spent a lot of time with software and phones this week as well as thinking much about what I do here.  I found a new way to get my music and video content from my notebook to multiple phones on different platforms.  I also thought about my reading methods and whether the Kindle 2 might fit them ...

Well I am finally home from all the traveling over the last month and should be here for a while.  I have so much ground to cover since I missed some of these columns and I’ll try my best to catch up.  I had a good chance to try all sorts of mobile goodness while on the road and I’ve b...

Yesterday’s travel went off without hitch and we arrived in Sin City early in the evening ready to enjoy the rest of the day.  I posted an eerie picture in January that showed how deserted the Las Vegas airport was the day after the gigantic CES and I was curious to see if Vegas still shows s...

A few days ago, I highlighted my experience with NuevaSync, a free beta service that shoots your Google Calendar and Contacts to a handset over-the-air. As I mentioned prior, I have two Google accounts: a hosted Google Apps acouunt for GigaOM and one for personal needs. Although I’m happy to h...

This was a hectic week at Mobile Tech Manor as I wrestled with lots of new gear that appeared that covered the breadth of mobile technology.  I installed Windows 7 on the HP Mini 2140 netbook and spent quality time with the biggest notebook I have ever used.  I found some new software to help my w...
