Mobile technology I’m in Scotland at the moment. Not too cold, dry (for the time being) but definitely windy. I’m just heading into Edinburgh on the train. I missed the earlier one by about a minute because the time table has changed slightly so I had to sit in the car and browse Marketplace. This is the Microsoft equivalent of The App Store or whatever iphone people rave about. Not much on it currently but most of what is there is useless so I guess it is quite similar to the app store. Anyway, I bought a little app that tells me when trains are due. Only 1.69. I know I can get this info for free but it is a hassle and takes ages to download the graphics. Traintimes, the app I bought, does it all from one page. Really, really simple to use too. It was certainly 1.69 well spent.

Mobile technology I’ve had the N95 for almost 2 and a half years now and feel it is time for a change. The N95 still does everything I need it to but I still hanker for a single device – a phone and PDA combo. Technology has finally caught up with what I want from a device. I’ve been having a look and think I’ve got it narrowed down to the HTC Touch Diamond 2 or the Nokia N900. The HTC runs Windows Mobile 6.1 pro and the Nokia runs Maemo. No, I’ve never heard of it either. The Nokia has a slide out keyboard and the HTC looks very stylish. It is slightly cheaper but still in the £300 range (sim free). Currently I think the HTC is slightly in the lead. I always fancied a Touch Diamond and the second edition looks even better.
A new mobile will have to wait until we get to Thailand. Nick assures me that they will be cheaper there.

Mobile technology This is a picture of one of the guns at Dunbar barracks. I took it way back in April 2008 but am posting it as an experiment with lifeblog.

Technical I think the n86 may be the way to go. It has a good 8 mega pixel camera and everything that the n95 has, that I use. I don’t care about music.

Technical Just been surfing the Nokia site for the new n97. Not the spectacular phone I hoped for so I might wait till the n98 comes out, if there is such a thing (most seem to have Russian characters so I am thining not). Anyway, the Nokia site was sooooo sloooooow that I did a speed test. Must be the Nokia site because speed test is pretty good :-)
