I have been in online journalism for several years now, surely not that long compared to a lot of the veterans I know, but enough to realize a few observations about the industry. I love journalism, and can’t imagine doing much else anymore, and I solidly believe that the place to be is not in [...]

I recently rediscovered a tool that has been around longer than any piece of technology that I own, but that I completely forgot about. I am normally the early adopter, the person pushing for new gadgets that change your life, but this is something decidedly low-tech. Despite this, using it has changed my life. The [...]

[Update: Thanks Kent and Richard. Keep it coming!] [Update 2: Jenith (a former MobileBurn employee and fellow Australian) weighs in, as does James Kendrick.] Today is a travel day, as Ze Frank would say, and while packing up for the impending journey I am faced with the decision of what gadgets to take with me. [...]

Following the break-in of my house on Saturday night, I went out yesterday and purchased a new notebook computer. I am now the proud owner of an HP dv2040XT – Intel Core Duo 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 14.1″ widescreen display, nVidia GeForce Go 7700, and an 80GB SATA hard drive. The hard drive is a little [...]

Edit: I should mention that I’m not getting a kick-back from Orb or affiliated with them in any way, this is just personal experience. After we did the video demo of the Sling Media mobile beta running on a Motorola Q for MobileBurn, it got me thinking about place shifting. Things like the SlingBox aren’t [...]

Every day I hear something about gadgets (and generally mobile phones, more than anything else) being bad for my health. You want to know what I have decided? I don’t care anymore. I look around my house and see so many things that are probably hurting me: the cordless phone, WLAN, microwave, cell phone, Bluetooth [...]

MobileMag is reporting on an update to the Sony PSP, the PSP2 as it is calling it, which adds some tasty features while leaving the core system without change. Probably the most interesting feature that the update is rumored to have is 4GB of NAND flash memory, but in addition to this, the PSP2 may [...]

Sandisk has today busted out the first 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card into its Ultra II range. The 4GB Ultra II is designed for photographers mainly, with 9MB per second minimum write and 10MB per second minimum read rates. The card will be in shops during March, and retail for US$293.99.

Scoble has been talking about websites rendering on a cellphone screen lately (here and here), but has been looking at it a bit one sided. It isn’t always the website designers fault that a site looks terrible on the small screen (though admittedly, most of the time it is). I would suggest to Scoble, and [...]

Kevin, a MobileBurn reader, sent this in to me the other day, and I thought I might share it around (with his permission of course). I was playing around on the internet and noticed Motorola has created the product page for the V3x. I was also wondering what you thought of the phone if you [...]
