plasticbag : There's a new N95 firmware update out and apparently it massively improves GPS performance. Interesting! - Matt Biddulph found this one. Anything that's good for the N95 is good for Fire Eagle. Mobile phones that you can build on with GPS units installed are cool and future and stuff like that.

plasticbag : The Internet Walk is a weird / crappy (or perhaps just broken on my Mac) advert for the N800, which is a toy I want... - For me it just keeps saying, "Loading the Internet, Loading the Internet" in a rich American TV voice. Makes Nokia seem kind of super dumb. Maybe it's just my computer...

plasticbag : Geotagging with Zonetag and Bluetooth GPS... - I wrote this piece to explain how you can geotag photos in the wild by connecting your Nokia mobile phone with a cheap Bluetooth GPS device. Hopefully it's clear and detailed enough without being grotesquely over the top.
Rod Begbie : Geotagging with Zonetag and Bluetooth GPS... (plasticbag.org) - Good overview from Tom Coates on how to get your cellphone geotagging and uploading photos automagically. This is the process I use, and I recommend the Nokia 6682 highly. It's a decent-ish camera, and a great phone. #

Linkorama : Using Miki at Nokia - Among the many wikis we have in use here at Nokia, one of the big ones we use is Socialtext. And, since most of us are heavy phone users, it's come up a few times why we couldn't use Socialtext with our phones.

plasticbag : "Yet more 'fashion inspired' phones for people who live in London and work for the BBC and are gay and have blogs." - So I live in London, work for the BBC, am gay and have a blog and I think these phones look a bit rubbish. On the other hand, I'm also a little narked about gay jokes from grown-ups, but what can you do. There's no shortage of fuckwits in the world...
