I woke up this morning to an IM from my pal James Whatley telling me I was in the Financial Times! Yeah, that’s right. The Financial Times UK published this piece on my use of Spinvox at the Nokia World event back in December. Spinvox is a speech-to-text service that allows you to get text [...]

I’ve used the S60 Internet Radio application from the Nokia Research Center’s website on several phones. I was really disappointed when I discovered that my N95 had issues with the Shoutcast.com website, as that’s what enabled me to find new stations on the go.

That’s why I was REALLY thrilled to hear about Nokia’s new Internet [...]

One of the things that we did at Nokia World 2007 in Amsterdam last week was record a podcast for Ewan Spence. He more or less forced us all to sit and participate, as you’ll soon see. Unfortunately, I’m a loser and totally did not manage to record a Driving with the Guru in Amsterdam, [...]

Nokia World is finally over, and all I can say is that I have been highly impressed, probably as much as with the Touch UI + Sensor Framework announcement. If, like most of us, you couldn’t enjoy the show live, you can check out this page on the Nokia site for a rerun of all [...]

At the Nokia Party in Amsterdam last week, they had an area setup where you could ‘Live The Moment’ with the Nokia N82. A real production company setup a green screen and were using a Nokia N82 for filming. The first setup they had was a Creatures of the Deep fishing video, which I gladly [...]

I’m actually sitting on the plane from London to Dallas at the moment, writing this on the last few minutes I have on my laptop’s battery power. I’ve spent the past 3 days in Amsterdam at the Nokia World 2007 event, courtesy of Nokia, Nseries, and WOM World, and I’d like to share my thoughts.
First [...]

As you might have seen in the Press Release, this past week I conducted an experiment with Spinvox, along with Truphone and Jaiku, around liveblogging. For the Nokia World 2007 conference in Amsterdam, I setup a Nokia N81 8GB with Truphone, a SIP/MOIP client that uses WiFi or 3G to place mobile VOIP (MOIP) calls [...]

At the recent Nokia World 2007 event in Amsterdam, Nokia and Universal Music Group announced an incredibly innovative initiative called ‘Comes With Music’. While most people are saying that it’s a nice thought, but horribly flawed, I’d like to point out why I think this will be one of the most successful music campaigns ever [...]

Sorry for the delayed news here on Symbian-Guru, I’ve been taking as much time as I can to soak up as much information at this event. You can follow my wanderings on my Jaiku, which I’ve been updating via Spinvox. They even sent out a Press Release about it, which you can read here.
Anyways, this [...]

I just got done listening to the guy from Universal Music speak and answer questions. I habe’t yet read the press release,so these questions and thoughts may be addressed in there, but we’ll find put soon.
I want to say that I think it’s a fantastic idea and really applaud both Nokia and Universal for taking [...]
