The 3 device strategy

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008


I’m testing Shozu Desktop on the Q1 Ultra and thought that this might be a good photo to post. Its my current three device line-up. Desktop device (1.6Ghz Samsung R40) with the Nokia N82 that i’m really really happy with as my voice, rss reader, podcatcher, navigation and MP3 player device. The third device there is the Samsung Q1 Ultra (the 800Mhz version) that i’ve now upgraded with 2GB, the extended battery (6 hours) and an HSDPA modem. I’d really like to add a fourther device to the setup – a MID. Possibly the Gigabyte M528 which is pocketable and much more powerful as a pocketable Internet device than the N82.
