HulloMail brings voice-email to Android for free

7/2/2009 9:55:00 AM

Launching in the US on the Fourth of July, HulloMail will initially be available to Android users only. iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile device support will follow. HulloMail converts your voice mails to an MP3 and sends it as an attachment to your email account, making it compatible with IMAP and keeping you synched up. You won't need to change your number like Google Voice users, and if GV feels like overkill to you, HulloMail might be the right alternative. I'll be checking out the beta over the next few days.

Briefing with Horace Luke, part 1

6/28/2009 3:40:00 PM

Horace Luke is HTC's Chief Innovation Officer. He heads up the team responsible for the design of the Hero, Diamond, and some other ground-breaking devices. If you hate the chin, this is the man to blame; if you love it, call him a genius. After the unveiling of the Hero, which I will post more on later, a group of us got to sit down with Mr. Luke for nearly half an hour. I came back with three videos.

In this one, Horace talks about public perception, the Teflon coating, the screen's anti-fingerprint properties, revisions, and the marriage of engineering and aesthetics. Also see parts two and three.

Elementary MIDI controller for Android

6/19/2009 9:25:00 PM

The software synthesizer in the background, Reason, is doing the heavy lifting here. But it is cool to see Android used as a MIDI controller - working over Wi-Fi, BTW. Looks like he's adjusting the velocity of four channels and then using the ball in a box deal for filter controls. Makes me miss the days on end I used to spend sitting in front of a computer, tweaking elements of my own composition until I was happy with what I... wait a minute...

Opera Unite just might change the web

6/17/2009 10:15:00 PM

I slept right through the 6/16 webcasts, scheduled at 1 a.m. and 9 a.m. my time. Good thing for me that Opera has offered up this cool promo spot in addition to an instructional video and informative homepage designed to make us all aware of their new...mission, called Unite. If the Google Wave presentation blew you away, check this out. Think peer-to-peer everything.

It's a rare thing for grandiose claims to go beyond a lofty advert. But I think if you consider trickle-down and future influence, it's not too far off to say that Opera really could change the web forever - in some form or fashion. O.K., maybe that's a bit hyperbolous. No, it's not in my dictionary, but it could be... someday. But all my pens are blue.
