Opened Pre showing off the Keyboard
I managed to get my hands on a Palm Pre bright and early on release day, June 6th. It was easy to pick up and the line wasn’t very long, though they seem to be selling pretty well. So now, with phone in hand, I can offer a few thoughts on some aspects of this new smart phone challenger. (more…)
I’m currently flying somewhere high above the lower 48 on a Wi-Fi enabled Delta flight. This in itself is not news - as of today 150 of Delta’s 300 domestic planes are equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi. What surprised me is the speed and openness of the service. I was worried that streaming audio/video might be rough and that anything fun or useful would be blocked. Quite the contrary: I’m watching TV on Hulu without any problems, AIM and Skype work fine (including voice calls), and SSH is open so I can tunnel out if anything is in fact blocked. Nice work, Gogo.
