Japanese cellphone wonders
Gizmodo covered a ton of fantastic japanese cellphones over the last few days. I wonder how nokia manages to retain its market leadership, featurewise they clearly lose to japanese cellphone makers.

PalmSource in Talks with Sony Ericcson
Now this sounds enticing. Uiq apparently isn’t doing that well and definitely the wrong way to go for mass-market smartphones, and sony is already quite successful with their palm os pdas. Following this lead with palm os smartphones appears to be the next logical step, except for ericssons possible intervention. This could show who’s the driving force behind this joint venture. I personaly wouldn’t hesitate to get a palm os smartphone manufactured by sony ericsson.
Smartphones remain untempting
Just as i thought some promising ms smartphones were showing up, my assumptions are proven wrong: apparently the voqs thumbboard sucks and lgs phone isn’t a smartphone, but a pocket pc phone edition device.

Interesting Smartphones
I’d never use a windows mobile powered smartphone, but they sure are getting quite tempting: first, an ingenious thumbboard design by sierra wireless, second a 1 megapixel camphone.

Getting depressed
Sitting in front of my ‘puter, drinking red wine, listening to tom waits, slowly getting depressed. It’s one of those days i guess. Perhaps i should just calm down and go to bed. Or get some uber-important coding done. Or take a walk. My new boots stare at me desperately waiting to get their first walk around the block, or even further. I’d love to get some blogging done, with several posts in my mind, but i highly doubt that i’m in the right mood for that right now. If you’re listening, drop me a note, that would definitely cheer me up a good bit.

Enjoyed a great performance tonight
Just saw amelia by la la la human steps and highly enjoyed it. My father surprised me with the tickets, and it sure was a pleasant surprise. One of the best dance performances i’ve ever seen. You can check their tour dates here.

Paying attention to details
Sfgate: "This is what Apple does. This is what they are known for and why their design team is so famous and why they win so many awards and why they engender such passionate devotion from their adherents and why Macs are still far, far superior to PCs and always will be."
Go read it, it’s so true. Perhaps you won’t believe that packaging is somehow important or that apple truly is so magnificent in getting the details right. Unless you’ve ever unwrapped an apple product, of course.
