Quick Nokia 7650 Thoughts

"There was a problem with the GPRS - but it wasn't the phone, Telefonica is having computer problems this morning so it's not set up yet. The phone store is across the street from my office, so I went back over to see what the problem was. While waiting for my salesperson to finish up with another customer, I whipped out the Nokia and started playing some games. Full color arcade games in my hand! WOW! The experience was the same as if I pulled out my Gameboy. Seriously. I was so absorbed I didn't notice that the guy was done and the customer behind me had to point out that it was my turn. DOH! This mobile game stuff is going TO ROCK THE EARTH." [Russell Beattie Notebook, via Scripting News]

This is sooooo going to be me someday.

"And the last tidbit from Macworld today: the Burton Amp, a jacket from Apple and Burton Snowboards that comes with built-in iPod controls on the sleeve. Just make sure not land on the volume button when you wipe out." [Gizmodo]

This is great, because whenever I show this slide during my presentations, I usually get disbelieving laughter. If I had an iPod, I'd get one of these just to be able to wear it and show folks that intelligent clothing is closer than we think.
