As you may probably think, one of the slickest applications that iPhone OS 3.0 PNS has enabled is Push Instant Messaging. Somebody else may say that mobile IM is nothing new, and that SMS are doing pretty well their job. But I disagree: SMS are very short messages you can send to somebody, but they’re not designed (in terms of technical and end-user costs) to set up a mid-to-long written conversation.

[Review] Samsung SGH-L770V
July 29, 2008 No comments »This week I decided to change phone. My 1-year-old Nokia N73 was driving me crazy, since its lack of responsiveness (12 seconds to switch display on after unlocking keyboard) and its useless battery (two days at “full charge” and then suddenly switching off in 3 hours).

Linksys AG241 alternative firmware
July 8, 2008 No comments »There’s something I will never understand: why Linksys hardware is so good while in the meantime the firmware is a total failure. I mean, I am a proud owner of a Linksys AG241 router, which is by far one of the best (cheap) piece of hardware I’ve ever seen.

Restore Fonera firmware after DDWRT v24final upgrade
June 20, 2008 No comments »And now, “another brick in the wall” of the Fonera posts! After some days of testing and Googling, I’ve figured out that a working implementation of the Fon capabilities on a Fonera running DDWRT doesn’t exist. Sometimes Chillispot is broken, sometimes the Heartbeat function doesn’t work, and so on. » Read more: Restore Fonera firmware after DDWRT v24final upgrade
Turn off Fonera private signal MyPlace
June 15, 2008 No comments »In these days I’m playing a little bit with my shiny Fonera, trying to switch off the private signal. The main reason is that I already have a Linksys router, with DD-WRT firmware, which broadcasts my private signal, along with a second open SSID with limited internet access (only web, mail and IM) for guests (yes, I believe in a world full of joy and hope). » Read more: Turn off Fonera private signal MyPlace
