Holidays, Cameraphones, Navigation and Getting Closer to Replacing the N82
I’ve been away for the last two weeks. I took two smartphones and a netbook with me which is a slightly different setup to my usual phone/umpc/netbook combo. Fortunately I wasn’t caught-out on my outings where all I took were my smartphones but I was conscious of having to do any sort of site support with just a touchscreen phone! I took my X10i and my N82 as phone companions and the N82 was about the only device I used as a camera although I did find myself doing a few shots with the X10 just because it was easier to tweet / send to Facebook and that’s one of the features I really love using on Android. The sharing ‘bus’ that allows any application to link into the ‘share’ menu and get a message from an application is just killer.
Gone Mobile Blogging… Watch and Communicate
Finally we’ve got a bit of sun here in Bonn so it’s time to get out with the devices for some mobile blogging. I’ll be jumping on my bike to find a suitable place to work. Not too crowded, not too sunny. I’m thinking that the Rhine, south of Bonn might be good.
First though, I need to decide on what device to take and to do that, I need to write down exactly what I want to achieve.
- Work. Full keyboard, 7” or greater screen. Bright.
- Location. Tracking, occasional or live gps location information? If live, Ipoki or lattitude?
- Connectivity. Built-in 3G or tethered?
- Microblogging. Pocketable
- Photography. Reasonable snapshot camera with easy export facilities.
- Audio. For some tunes/podcasts on the way
- Communications. Phone, instant messenger.
The first problem I have is that a true ‘work’ device doesn’t quite match up to the microblogging requirements because I would like a big keyboard. My phone, as with nearly all phones, isn’t up to what I want from a microblogging experience so we’ve immediately hit a choice between taking 3 different devices or making some compromises.
