Supported on a wide variety of HTC devices, the software supports higher frame rates and smoother video. Check out the msmobiles.com site for more details and the download link for the software.

Wednesday was Robert Scoble’s last day at Microsoft. Though he didn’t talk about Microsoft at all, he did post some interesting topics (as usual)! One is a neat video tour of Carnegie Mellon’s robotics lab – check out his post here.
I think Robert is giving us an idea of where his focus is shifting too with the new job. It looks to be quite interesting – I’ve not really followed video bloggers, so I’m kind of interested in what is developing in that area.

Looks like Cingular will be getting three more Windows Mobile devices this year. The Boy Genius has the post over at Engadget Mobile on the trio of devices: HTC Hermes, HTC StarTrek, and HP iPaq hw6920.
While I’ve posted about the hw6900 series before, the Hermes and StarTrek devices are going to be more interesting. With HSDPA on the Hermes for 400-700kbs data rates, it’ll be quite speedy. The wonderful design of the StarTrek flip phone will appeal to the average and high-end cell phone user.
Can’t wait to see more of these devices spread to other carriers as well – or in the case of the HTC devices, simply look around for the iMate and HTC versions that can work with any GSM carrier. Damn, I love technology. 🙂

Ed Hardy over at Brighthand.com is reporting that Intel is planning to sell it’s XScale line of processors. The XScale line has long been used in mobile devices, from Pocket PCs & Smartphones, to Palm and BlackBerry devices.
Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. is the company that will be purchasing the devision, along with about 1,400 employees that will make the transition to the new company.
The immediate impact on the XScale line & its direction is unknown, but it is my opinion that Intel just wasn’t focusing a lot of attention on expanding the capabilities of the line of processors. Maybe Marvell will be able to take the chip to another level of integration and features that could leverage more functionality for all of us in the end.

Ugh, I had to go back into the office this evening to work on one of the servers supporting our VPN system. The darn Integrity database got snarled up, and its still restoring.
This doesn’t bode well for my 8:30am meeting does it. 🙂
UPDATE: Guess I’ll just blog a few items as I catch up on yesterday’s news! Database restores can be so boring.

Just cleared out 60+ spam comments. What garbage – “Good job guys!”, or “Great site…”. Please.
