I found this on engadget, but went to the Larva Labs site for more information.

I have to say that this is one of the most beautifully designed phone home screens I have ever seen.  Watch the video to see it function.  Believing that design = communication, I have to say that beyond the look of this, the functionality and ability to parse information into easy to find and use chunks makes the Intelligent Home Screen a winner.  Now can I have a phone with it?

About time.

Admittedly I like the looks of the Zune HD and the specs. Nicely done Microsoft

Two of my potential phones are coming out pretty soon.  Woot!

I am only currently a few moments in, but have to say this is a worthwhile tech show.

Couple of things: 1. For some reason I absolutely love the simplicity of the email standards project’s web page (http://www.email-standards.org) design. 2. Looks like progress is being made on how Outlook renders emails. 3. Email client support is much better than last time I looked, but man I hate coding HTML emails.

I’ve been waiting for this for a while.  MissingSync hasn’t been performing well lately.

Every now and then someone comes up with really clever and really simple homemade thing-a-things that look really nice.  I might make one of these because it really does look good and would add a little functionality.

And the phone search continues.  Here are the front runners.  Give me your thoughts:

• Nokia N900 (specs)
  • Maemo OS:  A nice linux OS gets polished.  I loved my N800, but was missing the phone. Pretty much a mobile computer.  I even used an Apple bluetooth keyboard for some heavy text editing. Could it replace a laptop? GOOD
  • T-Mobile: I have had great reception and service with T-Mobile and this would take advantage of 3G (not here yet though). GOOD
  • No UMA:  My Blackberry has UMA allowing free calling on WiFi, this wouldn’t. BAD
• Motorola CLIQ (specs)
  • Android:  I haven’t used Android for an extended period of time, but it looks very very nice.  GOOD
  • T-Mobile, but no UMA: Same service, but no UMA. DRAW
• Apple iPhone
  • Gaming:  I am increasingly loving playing games on my iPod touch.  They are getting better and better.  The catalog is expanding, the quality going up, and the price staying low. GOOD
  • Syncing:  I love the way my iPod syncs, but if I have data service will this matter? DRAW
  • ATT: Don’t really like.  Enough said.  BAD
• Blackberry 9700
  • Current system:  I like my Blackberry now. I don’t have data, just email and so it has great function, but no flair.  Not sure how heavier apps will work, but overall I like it. GOOD
  • App Catalog:  Not as large as the iPhone and I am not sure that it will take off.  I don’t know how to develop for the Blackberry, but from some reading it seems like a more difficult process than developing for the iPhone, Android, or a Linux Platform. BAD
  • T-Mobile and UMA:  Good service and my free(with Hotspots at home) calls. GOOD.
• Palm Pixi
  • WebOS:  Again, not an expert here, but it seems promising. GOOD
  • Processing Power:  From the Engadget read, this seems like a real nice device. GOOD
  • Sprint: I haven’t liked my service with Sprint before, but the Everything Data Family Plan is cheap. I mean cheap. Real cheap.  Looks like $20/month or more saved. They have 3G here too.  Tenative and hesitant GOOD

Time for thoughts.  Since only the iPhone has been released and I have time on my contract still I will wait and see, but I really would love to hear what your thoughts are of any of the operating systems or carriers.  I will be using it for business and pleasure, even gaming would be cool if any of the platforms ever develop in that way.
