Thoughts on the Nokia 5800 Express Media

A lot of fuss about this phone lately. People keep bringing up iPhone killer.

I don't think so. It's not an Apple product, so the many fanboys out there probably won't turn their heads. Most of the tech media are Apple fanboys, so they'll dismiss this phone. I'm not impressed myself.

The touchscreen does not feature the haptikos technology Nokia has touted a while back. I suppose it will be very similar to my N800. I have a hard time using the landscape thumb board. With a smaller surface area on the 5800, I might have a harder time. The good thing is that it is stylus friendly. I've gotten pretty quick with the hunting and pecking input method on a stylus.

The processor is nothing new. Its the same featured on the N85 and E71. I was expecting the OMAP3. I do find it impressive that the 369 mhz ARM 11 Freescale platform can handle S60 Fifth Edition.

The camera doesn't wow me. After using the N82 with its 5 megapixels and its xenon flash, its hard to get excited about the 5800's 3 megapixels and dual LED flash. The lack of lens protection is disappointing. I do like that it can shoot pictures and video in widescreen.

The one thing that really impresses me is the multimedia. I like how the FM radio has scrolling backgrounds with the station ID. I like the integration of podcasts into the music player. I'm glad that podcasting has finally been properly merged into the Music Player. I wonder what kind of video bitrates it can handle. I'm looking forward to finding out if the speakers are really the loudest mobile speakers ever.

I'm interested to see the new functions of the multimedia button. The videos on youtube don't go into much detail about it.

I'm not sure I'd buy a 5800. Although I am definitely interested in the new S60v5 operating system, I have been too spoiled by the N82 hardware to care about the 5800 itself.

2nd Annual DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge

nobody@vox.com(Team Vox) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:19:20 +0200

2008 Donors Choose Blogger Challenge

How would you like to make a difference in the life of a public school students?

For the second year in a row, Six Apart is participating in the DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge. The challenge runs all throughout the month of October, and we'd love for you to participate along with us. Just as we did last year, Six Apart is sponsoring the award for the bloggers who reach the most kids.

How It Works

The Blogger Challenge is a friendly contest amongst bloggers to raise money for low-income public schools. Here's how it works: teachers from all over the country post items for which they would like funding, such as writing supplies for a journalism class, equipment for a science lab, or music instruments for a band class. Bloggers choose their favorite projects and link to their challenge page in a post or via a giving widget on their blog. The bloggers who raise the most money or reach the most kids will win an award.

Here's how you can participate:

Go to the Donors Choose Blogger Challenge page and find a blogger's giving list you'd like to support.

Set up your own challenge and let your readers know in a blog post or by installing the widget (it just takes a few clicks).

No matter which way you choose to participate, you should feel incredibly proud of yourself for helping to bring resources to students in struggling classrooms.

Donors Choose will announce the results in early November, and we'll reveal the winners of the Six Apart award for bloggers who reached the most students shortly thereafter.

Are you going to accept the Blogger Challenge? Tell us about it (and link to it) in the comments!

Running your Blog like a pro with David Peralty

nobody@vox.com(Micky) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:14:35 +0200

Taking a break today from my N95 Bodycam development, I decided to take a look around the www, and research a few new, and original items within the Social Media, and Geo-Technologies fields, I came across an inspiring Video of David Peralty, giving a speech in Toronto.

ad2

David is a very successful Blogger, and in this video, offers some free advice on how to be more successful within your own blog. Take a look, and you may learn something. He makes a very important point which I totally agree on, and that is, DON'T COPY. He says the last thing anyone wants to see, is that when something new comes out, this being posted on several blogs, filling his RSS feed up of the same old. Don't follow everyone else, and post about Original things, take your time, prepare, and make your blog as interesting, and as fun as possible.

Anyway, onto the video. Enjoy! (Video posted original on Vimeo by Mark Wood)

David Peralty's take on how to run your blog like a pro!
