This may be a real prize winner in the world of appropriate technology…a simple length of bamboo (with a slot sawn into it) amplifies and focuses the audio output of an iPhone as well (or better) than far more expensive, more complex, electrically powered gear… How can you not like this!

Long ago…in the 1980’s when wearing a pocket protector was a fashion statement only by inference, I used a lot of different HP calculators to perform my job (in the disk drive industry…). As the years wore on, I found that most of what I needed these comparatively elegant and powerful handheld devices for could [...]

I guess that the idea of internet connectedness is on my mind today…I ran across some information about how we are using smartphones in our daily lives… along with some aspects of how this relates to how many of us use social networking. The diagram below shows what may be the real power of mobile [...]

Finally, I’ve found a reason to consider an iPhone 4! Having a simple tool which will allow you to take 360° video panoramas (which can be viewed and rotated offline) is something outside of the bounds most us consider… GoPano micro – Capture 360º videos from an iPhone 4 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106196796/the-gopano-micro-a-lens-for-capturing-360-video-on The GoPano micro is a [...]

Considering the fact that an ever growing number of people use PCs at work, and that the iPad seems to gather all of the headlines these days, I think that the statistics that more and more people are using smartphones is the more important story. While these larger devices are common (PC, Video gaming systems, [...]

While I spend plenty of time with the larger parts of my personal network (i.e. my NetBook and iPad) the fact that I have my iPhone with me at all times has given me pause, as I consider how many things it has replaced in my life. My smartphone has taken the place of such [...]

I remember, less than ten years ago, seeing a lot of people using PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistants) such as the Palm and a variety of windows variants. Nowadays this has all been subsumed by smartphones, in such a manner that most didn’t notice the paradigm change. Twenty five years ago the Walkman came out and [...]

I have been covering the idea of creating a personal backup (i.e. backing up things which YOU need, versus your computer), and the idea of saving important things on a carry-able thumbdrive would seem to be a good idea… But, what if you could carry all of the same documents right on your iPhone? There [...]

I have been covering how I have such specifically different uses for the pieces of my personal network (i.e. iPhone, iPad, and NetBook). With this in mind, I think that it is also worth taking some time to show how all three of these tools overlap. For instance, even the (comparatively) small iPhone is a [...]

Other than the arrival of the iPhone 4 a few months ago, the online news about iPhones has been pretty quiet…that is, until the arrival of Verizon as an iPhone carrier. With this news, there are plenty of interesting advances upcoming in future OS updates. Foremost of these (in my mind) is that within a [...]
