Interesting smartphone stats from IDC, including information on the top five vendors in both “mobile phones” and “converged devices” categories.
Following up on my earlier post about the San Francisco Giants WiFi-enabling their baseball park:
The team has posted a “Giants WiFi Network FAQ” to help fans get online while at the game. In addition to helping you configure your devices to use their network, the FAQ also highlights the extended set of digital services the Giants are making available, their Digital Dugout. The highlight videos and realtime stats alone are worth the effort.
Too cool!

Peter Rogers’ brain dump of J2ME and related developer issues for the Nokia 6230 (part of a 6230 thread on the kvm-interest list) is worth a read for anyone interested in J2ME MIDP 2.0 development on Developer Platform 2.0 for Series 40 devices (the 6230 is the reference device).

Sony Ericsson president Katsumi Ihara says that Sony has ceded the low-end camera market to mobile phones.
OK, so it is a done deal. Look out digicams, here come the cellcams! It’ll be very interesting to see who capitalizes on this in 2004.
I learned about Microsoft’s new Channel 9 from WebTalkGuys Radio and the Scobleizer blog. After reading more about it from CNet News.com, I decided to pay a visit to see what’s up.
A highlight among the riveting threads of recent discussion: “Should one use one or two spaces after a period?“.
Now that we’re buds I just have to ask, is this really what you guys talk about all day long at Microsoft? We’ve gotta work on that… 😉
