I am in the market for a GPS unit that is capable of GeoCache for archiving my photos with Geo Location information. Also as I do not have a GPS in my car, I would like it to help me with location services when needed. Well there were a lot of GPS devices and I have looked at N800 with GPS addon.

Coming soon: Skype VoIP on Nokia N800

skype-voip-on-nokia-n800_28

I came to know that Skype VoIP will be available on Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, most probably from next month. The N800, which has been launched early this year, is supporting Gizmo Project, a SIP-based VoIP application.

Nokia N800 is already enriched with a host of features including Internet radio, RSS news reader, image viewer and media player. With Skype getting into the Tablet, I am sure the N800 is going to be a highly versatile handheld device for the customers.

The media report adds that N800s built-in webcam will not be supported for Skype calls. It is the missing point of the device, which you have to compromise.

iPhone gets a better battery and a surface before delivery date!

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com


I am pretty happy to hear about the improvements that Apple has announced about the iPhone. I was going to wait for the second release of iPhone to get one.
But I think I need to get ready to get one. The part I did not like most was the screen surface, as it was prone to scratches and smudge marks. (yes I have seen the device!). The surface was the only reason that I did not want to buy it initially, rather than the battery life that it had at the release demos and announcement.
Now the battery life has got better as well, it will deliver eight hours of talk time, up from the five hours Apple said it would have in a preliminary report that came out in January.

The increase to eight hours would bring the iPhone in par with other cellular phones in the market today. I do not use my phone for more that calling and answering someone. But I do want what iPhone offers as it fits my work neatly. Now I carry around a 17” notebook(with raid) for my mobile work. But it is not so mobile at the moment as battery has degraded to a mare half an hour of work! But proper device like iPhone or Nokia N800 with a cheaper phone will do the trick.

According to the Apples press release, iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio playback.* In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours—more than 10 days—of standby time. Good enough for me to make it myphone!, as Steve Jobs mentioned! “With 8 hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone’s battery life is longer than any other ‘Smartphone’ and even longer than most MP3 players,” “We’ve also upgraded iPhone’s entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone like iPhone, and we can’t wait to get this truly magical product into the hands of customers starting just 11 days from today.”

So someone give me $599! I already have a Cingular/AT&T account!

Pricing and Availability

iPhone will be available in the US on June 29, 2007 in a 4GB model for $499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or Mac®. iPhone will be sold in the US through Apple’s retail and online stores, and through AT&T’s select retail stores.

*All Battery claims are dependent upon network configuration and many other factors; actual results may vary. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. Music capacity is based on four minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.
