A few people have asked me to check out the linux terminal mode on the Nokia N900. I’ve done that. Here’s a very quick video demonstrating ‘top’ and ‘ps’ running on the device.

Episode 40: Nokia N900 and BBC iPlayer – bad news folks!
I’ve had a LOT of email from people asking me to try the Nokia N900 out with the BBC iPlayer. My expectations were high… but wait ’til you see the experience in the browser. It’s bad news. I think we’ll need to hope the BBC release a stand-alone app for the N900 — that’ll work [...]

Episode 35: Gym Babes, the pinnacle of iPhone App innovation
Every now and then, an iPhone application hits the marketplace and causes an absolute stir. Gym Babes is one of them. It is, quite simply, one of the most innovative concepts I’ve ever seen.
