"As mentioned before, Toshiba was expected to release a software patch for the Portégé G900's idle problem and here it is - just released in time: This patch is designed to resolve the issue of G900 devices failing to return to standby mode from deep sleep mode correctly, which some users have experienced and should only be installed by those who've encountered this specific problem. This patch can be installed onto your G900 either from an SD card or from the phone's memory."

Arne at the unwired.net has gotten wind of the news that a fix for the standby bug suffered by some G900 users has been issued by Toshiba.

"Sophia Mobile presented the NANI at the Wireless Japan Show 2007, this new product is a PDA phone running Windows Mobile 6.0 on a 4.3 inches screen and WVGA resolution, features include B/G WiFi, USB, OTG, telephone thanks to the WSIM (AirH) good for internet browsing. As if it wasn't enough, the NANI also is a real PMP with support of Mpeg1/2/4, WMV9, DivX, Xvid videos and WAV, WMA, MP3 and OGG audio files. (The GPS is optional)."



It's actually WinCE 6.0, but boy is this tempting! I have my doubts whether you can use this as a phone outside of Japan, or how fast the data connection is, but the hardware appears skewed towards PMP use more than anything. No news on pricing or whether any carriers are going to pick this up, or even if this will ever get into production - enjoy the pics anyway!

"Increasingly, I'm doing more of my (non-work) web browsing on my PDA. And as a big fan of using del.icio.us to store and share interesting sites that I come across, I've missed the tools you can get for desktop browsers (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) that let you throw your current page at your del.icio.us list. To cut a long story short, I've put something together and it seems to work. If you have a Windows Mobile PDA and fancy giving it a try, feel free to give it a go."



For those who use del.icio.us, Dale Lane has done a lot of work to create a free plugin for Windows Mobile. Even if del.icio.us is not your thing, take a read of the work it took to create the feature. He also hopes to add support for other services like digg in the future, so be sure to give him feedback.

Now the company wants to go beyond just looking up Web pages, effectively becoming a gateway for finding and paying for mobile media content."

Well, I guess it is a good thing to make content for cell phones easier to find, but not user it needs to be easier for people to find annooying ring tones so they can leave their phones on their desk at the highest volume with the ringer to voice mail timeout set at a minute or so.

Just in case you didn't know, Google has a search service via SMS. Just send the word "help" to 46645 (Googl) for instructions on its use. I've been using that for several years, especially to get competitive pricing while standing in a Best Buy or similar store.
