  • BarCampBoulder March ‘07

    BarCamp Boulder Spring ’07 has come and gone. This one almost didn’t happen. All the organizers were insanely busy leading up to the event. One is moving, one is trying to raise money, one just raised money, and my excuse was I had been ridiculously sick and barely functioning. Not as good as the others [...]

    A source a Cingular has revealed the day Apple's upcoming combination smartphone and iPod is expected to be introduced.
  • Wireless Watch - Spring Fresh Site Design

    A pleasant April Fool's surprise for all WWJ regulars here today as we’ve finally moved our tired old website - circa 2003 - into the digital trash can. We have made a few changes, beyond the somewhat tricky migration from Nuke to Wordpress, with this new offering. The 'tag cloud' for keywords, 'share this' option (with easy article bookmarking) and 'send to friends' function, 'related entries' (below all posts), a mobile feed version and an improved archive structure should help you navigate the large amount of content WWJ now makes available. As the saying goes, you don’t realize how much stuff you have.. until you have to move it! Full site access to our original Viewpoint articles and Video Programs will continue to be available only to paid subscribers. One of the more notable changes is that we have opened the extended section of most 'quick posts' to free view; we are also happy to bring a couple of great outside contributors into the fold and will be making a seperate introduction...
  • Bell Canada rolls out Motorola Q Music Edition

    Filed under: Handsets , Multimedia , Motorola , Bell Mobility , Windows Mobile , 1xRTT , EV-DO , CDMA What's a surefire way to revive a smartphone when it starts to get a little long in the tooth? Why, pull a Nokia : bundle it with some relevant accessories and rebrand it as a "Music Edition," of course! To be perfectly clear, this here Q is the same old Q we know and love; Bell's simply given it a new face by throwing in a 2GB miniSD card, stereo 'phones, and a $25 (CDN, we're assuming) gift card redeemable through the MSN Music Store. Get it by signing up for a three-year contract on a voice / data combo plan -- if you dare -- for $130.

  • AT&T Cranks Up the Speed of HSDPA

    AT&T, formerly Cingular, is the speed leader in the data upload/download speed market, even though they purportedly don’t have as much national coverage as Sprint does with their slower, but blanket covered EVDO Rev A. Now Cingular is upping the ante...

  • AT&T's latest internal price sheet tells all

    Filed under: Handsets , Peripherals , Nokia , Others , Samsung , ATT-Cingular , Symbian , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS A few goodies are listed in the latest price sheet we've had passed to us -- dated April 1 to April 7 -- and while we always need to be cautiously skeptical with these sorts of things, we're pleased with what we're seeing on here. On the data side of things, both the Sierra Wireless 875u and Option GT MAX Express have appeared, giving mobile warriors without PC Card slots a couple solid options for getting bits and bytes hauled down; they'll both be available for $300 before rebates. Turning our attention to handsets, Samsung steals the spotlight here with two models that are piquing our interest. First up is the A717 , a phone with Ultra Edition roots that we first spotted at CES, bringing HSDPA in a ridiculously thin flip package for $240 before rebates. Next is the more mysterious A437 ; we know virtually nothing about it, but at $420 before rebates, it's gotta be something cool (word on the street is that it might be a North American rendition of the D900 slider). In other news, the Nokia N75 is still listed for $420, but it's any guess when exactly it'll be showing up. Have faith, Symbianites!

  • Flash that Sony Ericsson K800 into a K810

    Filed under: Handsets , Software , Sony Ericsson Controlling handset envy is always a challenge in this business -- without fail, manufacturers inevitably introduce your phone's successor just as soon as you work up the courage to plunk down that rather sizable wad of cash. Fortunately, there's a hacker out there for virtually every model from every manufacturer, cooking up ways to keep the phone fresh well beyond its maker's intended shelf life. Such is the case here: yes, Sony Ericsson would like us to toss our K800s in the trash and pick up the re-upped K810 , but seeing how our K800s still have that new phone smell on 'em, that seems just a bit silly. Users have discovered that the K800 hardware embraces the K810's firmware with open arms, bringing with it the latter's cooler themes and improved media player, and all you have to do is pay a few bucks to get it flashed. Not a free lunch, but about as close as it gets. Cool, eh? Heck, it's so simple, it barely qualifies as a "hack."

  • Bluetooth 2.1 promises painless pairing

    A new version of the Bluetooth short-range wireless connectivity standard has been published. The update promises to boost battery life and make pairing gadgets a doddle. Bluetooth 2.1 improves pairing in two ways: better security and automatic pairing. Devices like headsets that simply extend the capabilities of a phone, say, will be able to [...]
