“Is that the iPhone?”

“No. It’s just an iPod Touch”

When I meet new people, I store their contacts on the address book on my iPod Touch. People mistakenly thought it is an iPhone.

“Is that a PDA?”

“No it’s just an iPod Touch”

I note down appointments on my iPod Touch using the calendar app. It syncs with iCal when connect it with my Mac. I take notes and create to-do list using the Notes app on my iPod Touch I then mail it back to myself if I want a copy on my Mac. People mistakenly thought it is a PDA device.

“Is that an Internet tablet?”

“No it’s just an iPod Touch”

Whenever there is a wifi signal I can get on, I check my email, surf the web, watch YouTube video and sometime use Google Map to figure out where the hell I am at or where I’m going. People mistakenly thought it is an Internet tablet of some sorts.

• Fluxbuntu is an Ubuntu distribution based on the super light weight X window manager Fluxbox as opposed to the default desktop environment Gnome that comes with the official Ubuntu. Check out Techthrob for a review. Not for someone new to Linux but might just be perfect with experience Linux users.
• Madpenguin.org takes a look at what lies for Linux as it move forward to the future.

In the old days, the mobile industry was a predictable. Companies keep designing new phone, each better then the previous version, nothing revolutionary. Then Apple came in and sort of slapped everyone on the face with its new iPod with GSM phone capabilities, known to many as the iPhone.

Now it seems that everybody wants to get into mobile phones. Google announce its mobile platform OS known as Android. Clever move on Google part by not making a phone but a mobile OS instead. Google is not a hardware company.

Microsoft is not just sitting still hanging on their Windows Mobile either. While the Microsoft $40 billion deal with Yahoo! still hanging, they when shopping for another company. This time they get a mobile phone company Danger Inc. the makes of the T-mobile Sidekick.
