If one were to drop a Nokia N95, iPhone, or other mobile device into this village with a continuous video playing … I wonder what the reaction would be to this tribe …
Would they destroy it? Put it on a shrine as a “talking box to the sky”? Worship it as a god? Treat it [...]

Looks like things are firming up for FOT … Flash on Tap (Boston), looks to be taking place, October, 2008 (tenative! So think October-ish).
You can get more information here.
Last year we had Flash Forward in Boston, looks like this is Boston’s own special Flash event for 2008.
Leave it to (beer aficionado) Chris Allen and those [...]

SpitFun: I think this is a Flash Mobile game (or perhaps a mix of desktop and mobile? Multiplayer, maybe … not sure?!). More information can be found over at www.spitfun.com.
Apparently, according to the current incarnation of the site … it is tentatively scheduled for May 12, 2008 launch. So check back then!
There is a [...]

Read this.
From the awesome-ness that is engadget:
It’s a crazy, mixed-up world we live in.
If we aren’t worrying about global warming or peace in the middle east, we have to be on the lookout for scorned women setting large quantities of mobile devices on fire.
A certain Mrs. Wang is guilty of that latter offense. [...]

Oh noes … Mobile devices really *are* taking over the world … check out the Toshiba’s 815T PB on Softbank.
Do these devices support Flash Lite that connect to Skynet via a loadVariables()?! Not sure!
In any regard, anyone know Sarah Connor’s address? Must get John Connor to safety!
Joking, of course …
These are supposedly called Ketai Sousakan, [...]

Bug Labs has an interesting concept.
buglabs.net is selling a kit which allows the average tech savvy consumer (but not necessarily an all out hardware “hacker”) the ability to create/experiment with snap friendly type hardware components.
“BUG makes it fun and easy to build any gadget you can imagine. Build familiar things like digital cameras and GPS [...]

Chris Georgenes (aka Mudbubble, aka “keyframer”) posted about some animation work he did for Mobile World Congress 2008.
It’s a Nickeledon based home screen using Adobe Flash Home.

Anyways, nice brand for mobile both in U.S. market and [...]

Chumby launched a new look and feel for their site. See: www.chumby.com

Individual that don’t “get” the chumby should check it out.
