“SanDisk today announced the availability of the 4-gigabyte (GB) Memory Stick Micro (M2) card. The 4GB M2 is compatible with Sony Ericsson’s latest generation of slim line, multimedia mobile handsets such as the Cyber-shot and Walkman series.The M2 format was co-developed by SanDisk and Sony Corporation to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact, multimedia mobile phones. The M2 measures 0.59” long x 0.49” wide x 0.05” high, or 15mm x 12.5mm x 1.2mm, making it the second smallest flash memory media in the world, behind the microSD format, which SanDisk pioneered.The SanDisk M2 card line is designed for use with mobile handsets that have an M2 slot as well as all Memory Stick PRO Duo slotted devices. When accompanied by the included Memory Stick PRO Duo adapter, M2 cards are fully backwards compatible with all digital cameras and hand-held game players such as the Sony PlayStation Portable that have a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot. The 4GB M2 card has a suggested retail price of $99.99. The new card is expected to be available worldwide this summer at many of the more than 210,000 consumer electronics stores and retail outlets where SanDisk products are sold. “ via slashphone.com

“Here it is folks. One of the first full-on reviews you will see of the Apple iPhone and it comes to us from none other than David Pogue of the New York Times. He’s quite the amusing fellow as he walks us through the entire process of receiving a secretive note from Apple, meeting up with a henchman in the park, keeping the device hidden from colleagues, and ultimately disappointing everyone with the iPhone’s shortcomings.On the plus side, Pogue loves all the features that the iPhone comes with, allowing you to sift through your music library, browse pictures, surf the web in full HTML, and — his favorite feature — the ability to access Google Maps on the go with simulated turn-by-turn navigation. That said, the iPhone isn’t without its faults. There’s no removable battery, the EDGE network is painfully slow, and you have no means of expanding the memory. Watch the video below to see what the Pogue-ster has to say.” via mobilemag.com

“Normal Web servers are on an always-on consistent connection (in technical terms it has an unchanging ‘static’ IP address), this is not true of a mobile device (like your PC it is normally a client device). The gateway component is therefore necessary because it provides a consistent way to access the server – remember that a mobile device has limited power and limited connectivity and thus may not always be available or connected in the same way.MWS, in its default install, comes with a default pre-configured web site which has a number of functions, including a guestbook, a blog, the ability to send SMS messages to the phone, share Calendar information, view contact information and access the phone’s camera. You can of course create your own pages and host your own files by adding files to the appropriate folder (see example below).” Find out more here:
