Solution: Mail Sync failing on G1

Fail Road by Fireflythegreat

I’ve had a problem with my G1 for the past week or two and today I found a solution.  My Gmail wouldn’t sync with the device in the same way that it had before.  It seemed to be stuck in the past and I couldn’t send or receive any new email using [...]

Android Update: I rooted my G1

Tree Roots by Aaron Ecobar

Having toyed with the idea for a while I was really excited to see the “one click root” that appeared this week.  Having installed the app from the Android Market (I’d like to see Apple allowing yellowSn0w onto the App store) I ran it, a few times before I worked out the whole [...]

Image by Sean Dreilinger

So having only recently acquired my G1 and having fallen fairly significantly for my iPod Touch, I now have about 16 months to think about what phone I’ll have next.  Had I not already bought my touch I’d probably have gone for an iPhone, but havnig had my G1 for a while [...]

Cool Sites: GDGT

As you hopefully know by now I’m a gadget fan.  I’ve been updating my profile (and list of gadgets I’ve owned) on the recently launched GDGT website.  There are still some of the older gadgets which I have had which aren’t in there yet but it’s hard for me to remember the product numbers so I’m waiting for that.

Rockbox Rocks

Having bricked my router trying to use unofficial firmware, i was nervous about trying it on my iAudio x5 (the sucessor to my fondly remembered but increasingly unstable Iriver h-140,)  however I decided to be brave, and I’m having a lot of fun.

There is a group who have developed a firmware called Rockbox, which runs on [...]

New Phone

After two years with my Sony Ericsson Z600 I’ve finally upgraded.  My new phone is a T-Mobile MDA Vario, so I’ll have to merge my “phone stuff” and “pocket pc” threads to tell you of my experiences.  So far I’m loving it, and it’s not to embarassing to carry around with me and use as a [...]

What pictures do you have on your phone?

I’ve been thinking recently how much I nejoy having pictures on my phone, of friends and family. Anyone want to play [...]

Mobile Websites

I’m always on the lookout for sites I can visit using my PDA. I have an Ipaq 5550, and a wireless connection, and I don’t surf much with it, but I like being able to. Here are some of the best I’ve found so far:

Google Mobile

Mobile Blogging

I haven’t been great about updating this blog, but I’m going to make the effort to be more regular, so to speak. One of the things I’m hoping will help me is a free blogging tool for my Pocket PC. It’s called Pocket SharpMT and I’m actually using its big brother on my PC to [...]

Happier than Larry

I got an Ipaq 5550 just under a year ago. It’s great and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it. Recently, however I’d had problems typing with it. I’d used to type up email when I was waiting around for things, and had found it very useful, but that became a [...]
