I am Nokia NSeries commercial
Even though I love using my N93, I don’t like all the “multimedia computers” fuzz Nokia is pushing.

What follows is a 45-second long video ad,…

Remember Glide, the online operating system that also works on mobile phones, include the iPhone? Well, they’ve just added Windows Media Audio and Video support to the Apple’s handset.

Apple iPhone does A2DP Bluetooth music streaming – kind of
It’d be nice if Apple had enabled A2DP Bluetooth on our iPhones with that recently released update. We’d love to rock out to our tunes without the hassle of wires. We guess that just means iPhone owners will have to take matter into their own hands. Wipe the dust off those fancy Bluetooth headphones of…
