Huh, couldn’t I do that already with more or less any kind of PDA / phone? Yepp, but not with the iPhone. I remember Chris Sorenson, Microsoft’s head of smart-phone strategy for the Asia-Pacific region, told the press back in April 2007 that the iPhone would be irrelevant to business users due to its “closed” operating system and lack of Office support. “Closed” as you couldn’t install third party applications on it. iPhone 2.x has been since that been […] Continue reading →

I hope to be able to install it on a test machine the very same day.

Sony Ericsson is still making great phone, don’t me wrong, but they are not going for the features that are important for me. I admire Nokia for their E and N series. […] Continue reading →

I am not only syncing my smartphone with MacOS X, but also with Windows Vista. Gone is the horrible sync application ActiveSync, and in comes Windows Mobile Device Center. The tool is still in beta, but has for me already proven to be a far better solution the ActiveSync. Sadly Microsoft decided not to include this tool in Vista. The first thing I think of, is to avoid any new unneccessary anti-monopoly lawsuits. Windows Mobile Device Center can be download from Microsoft manually or […] Continue reading →
