On my recent trip to New York to cover the T-Mobile G1 Android launch I traveled with just a backpack and used my Fujitsu U810 to write on the road. It was adequate, but the keyboard is quite small and limits how fast I can type. I reviewed the Sprint version HTC Shift back in March and one of the major...

There were lots of announcements made in the last week, including new Zune hardware and software...

Kevin started off MobileTechRoundup show #146 by talking about his newly arrived MSI Wind and after hearing some of his thoughts I am seriously considering this device as a replacement for my Fujitsu U810. I also picked up a couple devices in Singapore, but one is already on the auction block. James...

I have spent quite a bit of time and even more money trying to find a solution that would help me be productive during my daily 2 hour train commute and while traveling. I have also added the restrictions that it has to be very portable, lighter than my MBP, and have a battery life that last 3-4 hours...

I was all excited about Sprint's XOHM WiMax after talking with Sprint at CES, but as you can hear from James and Kevin in MobileTechRoundup show #128 they were right to predict that rollout may be coming later than originally stated. We also talked about the excellent new, and free, Opera Mini 4...

The last major HTC device I reviewed was the HTC Advantage and since that time I have been a bit excited, as has most of the ultra portable crowd, about the HTC Shift. There are some reviews online for the GSM version of the HTC Shift that is available in Europe, but that is not the version being officially...

I was planning to post my full review next Monday, 24 March, when the Sprint and HTC...

I am in the process of working on a full review of SoftMaker Office 2006 for Pocket PCs in my qwest to turn the HTC Advantage into a full blown portable computer. However, I'll have to adjust my review now since I just received a note that the public beta of SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PCs is...
