The Motorola Q smartphone is a great looking device and may be a great smartphone, but will any of us find out? There have been many false release dates and such about the device, and in typical Motorola fasion, they just can’t seem to get their devices ready for prime time in a reasonable amount of time.
Check out this post over at Engadget Mobile and then participate in the survey at Smartphone Thoughts.
Oh, and msmobiles.com has another post about the Q.
I can, its just that nobody I know uses Skype. The other part of it is that I’m not a chatty person anyway – but the technology and concept is so cool to me that I wish I could. I’ve set up an account and checked out the service, and it is really neat.
I wanted VoIP years ago when I got my first taste of it with NetMeeting. At the time, I even tried to use it with one of those early Connectix QuickCams that you attached to the parallel port (seriously). Now that the reality of VoIP and desktop video conferencing is nearly ubiquitous, the challenge is not as great as it once was.
So whats the next really cool, tough challenge for the technology buff to play with?
Finally, I’ve made a few small breakthroughs on the project I’m working on at work. We’re upgrading our VPN systems and I have been having trouble with our client software upgrading cleanly. Since the software ties into Windows quite deeply, and the end-users who will be running the upgrade manually (they don’t have admin perms), I was starting to get more than a little worried that it wasn’t going to work.
No worries now though, finally found the pieces to get the automated process rolling – and none too soon. Its been taking a lot of my time and I’ve not been able to get back to the blog here on a regular basis. Now that I’m near the end, that headache (its caused a few) is going away.
Gosh!
(I Don’t know how else to express it in a family friendly way.) 🙂
They’ve polished up the rough edges from the last time I loaded the beta 2 preview! I’d loaded up the previous build awhile ago and had really enjoyed the great new features (tabs, integrated RSS, pop-up blocker, phishing filter, etc…). On the other hand, endured the performance hits of early beta and anomaly’s that come with test software.
This version however, is feature complete and performs that way as well. Check out the IE homepage to download and give it a try – IE7 beta2 is fully supported by MS at this point, and should be experienced to be believed.
We’re off and running!
I have had some issues getting connected back into the office, I’m using my T-Mobile MDA to VPN into the office wirelessly. It is working, but not as fast as I had hoped. Speed is currently ranging from 60kbps to 80kpbs, so it is a bit slow. I’m still hoping to get better than 100kbps sometime during the test, though VPN over EDGE service is working!
