French site Archos Lounge announced the upcoming Archos 606 PMP/MID which will include 3G. It appears to be an upgrade to the WiFi enabled Archos 605. No word on availability but I’ll assume France only at this time.
A few details:
Slightly bigger screen than 605
All black
30GB drive
Support for Opera widgets
Could be a great alternative to the iPhone/iPod Touch, Nokia Internet Tablets, and MID’s if you favor media playback and/or recording as a main feature.
Here’s a quick video of the install. While I was setting up for this video, FedEx came again and dropped off the GorillaPod for SLR sized cameras. I stuck the Aiptek A-HD to it right away and used it in part of the video.
That’s why there’s so much noise. The GorillaPod is stiff, which is good, but it cause a lot of noise while bending the joints.
Bill ‘Taxman’ Miranda has been eagerly awaiting the Mac Book Air. He finally got one and has been liking it so far. His real-world battery tests have resulted in better results than most tests. He points out by default, the power settings are not set to ‘longer battery life’ mode. For Sierra Wireless 875U users.. it fits right into the Air. Congrats to the Taxman on his brand new ‘Thin Air’.
Thought I should test Utterz’ live webcam recording with the Fujitsu U810 and Novatel U727 EVDO USB modem. Taking a cruise to Starbucks to test it out. Mobile post sent by Rodfather using Utterz. Replies.
Another ink attempt on U810 Well I figure I better practice inking on the Fujitsu U810 since I’ll be stuck with this for a while. It’s just not easy writing on this super light touch screen that’s super slick with a thin stylus. I really wanted to use this for mobile/on-the-go inking since I grabbed the domain name ‘mobileinker.com.’ I envisioned myself using this while out of the house and moblog my entries on the fly.

So I notice this post on jkOnTheRun announcing portable Firefox 2.0.0.8 is available. This is handy for sticking Firefox on a thumbdrive so you don’t have to leave a history of porn links on a host machine (well, one reason).
So I figure this would be a nice app to stick in the Novatel U727 EVDO USB modem since it comes with a MicroSD slot that can take up to a 4GB card. I ordered through evdoinfo.com who supplied a 1GB card for free. Previously, I copied the install files from the CD to the card so I can install the drivers on any computer. Looks like I didn’t need to.
I plugged in the U727 in my laptop so I can copy Firefox to it. This is the first time sticking it into this machine and surprise, surprise, it comes with drivers and connection software already! After double-clicking the ‘SMB Lite’ drive, right away it installed all the device drivers and software and is ready to be used.
It includes a Sony VAIO TXN15PB, Sony VGP-8PL5 Enhanced Battery, Logitech Quickcam, and Targus 15.4″ Top-loading Backpack. $2499. You would think they would toss in a hat too?
There’s no mention of the service but it should be Sprint since the TX series comes with an internal EVDO card.
If you want to show the world your life 24/7, this is one convenient package to get there. Jusin.tv just opened up its site to allow anyone to broadcast. The quality is very nice since they’ve started using the On2 VP6 codec which flash supports.
Sitting At The Beach
At Manresa State Beach on one of
the benches. It’s almost sunset. I’m connected w/ the Novatel U727 sticking
out of the Q1. Working out nice.
