Fonpods
Fonpods (phonepods).Found this site via GigaOM. Fonpods advertise themselves as making any mobile phone into an MP3 player for Podcasts. What you do is call the number they give and you can listen to preselected Podcasts from your channel over your phone. Once you get a login you can go to their site and select which podcasts you want to listen to. I thought this was a pretty neat idea. Reminds me of a service that was available a few years back. I think it was called Call Me, i cant find reference to it on the web, and they gave you a 1800 number which you called that would let you listen to news, get horoscopes, and even play black jack with impersonating celebrities. So if you don't have a web enabled mobile phone, like my 6700, and you have free long distance, check out http://www.fonpods.com/. |

Clouds A Plenty
 In my kitchen I have a digital picture frame made from an extra laptop and I have been noticing lately that I have a lot of cloud/sky pictures so I figured I would Tabblo them up. Enjoy. Some are really old and were taken from the ground in front of the airport where I used to work. Most of the other pics are taken from the sky from whenever I flew somewhere. ... See my Tabblo> |

Who needs a Stilletto when you have a PPC-6700
 So after they stole my stereo from my truck, I didn't have a way to listen to Sirius. Before I knew that my insurance was going to replace my stereo I was looking at maybe purchasing the up and coming Sirius Stilletto.The Stilletto is a cool little device. It's a truely portable satellite reciever. You can take it jogging or whatever. Plus you can buy a car kit or home kit for it. It also has 2gigs of space for MP3s and to record from Sirius, but the RIAA is out to stop that I bet, since they stopped the pre-orders. The other very slick feature is that is has built-in WiFi. So if for some reason you can't catch the Sirius reception, and you happen to be somewhere there is free wifi, you can listen to Sirius over the net since its part of your plan. BUT when you have a PPC-6700 Pocket PC Phone with unlimited internet through Sprint, you've installed SiriuCE, and have an FM Transmitter, then you don't need that Stilletto. Don't expect great sound though. They minimize the sound quality to be able stream. There is a rumor that they are going to increase the quality of streaming music though, but for a higher price. So enjoy the pic from inside the Vette. Also, since all sound from the phone was being transmitted it was easier to tell when I had a text message or phone call.  |

PPC6700 and a Stowaway Keyboard
 I have had this keyboard forever but I quit using it because this Pocket PC Phone Edition has a slide out keyboard. But I broke it out a few days ago and used it for a rather lengthy chat tonite on my kitchen counter and I snapped a pic to show a friend what it looks like.Its freaking cool! And as you can see from its surroundings its in a real world enviroment. Not some staged photo shoot. |
