Windows Phone 7 Series…it’s too long. So what are we going to call it? I’ve been shortening it to WP7. I think that’s in line with what we did to Windows Mobile 6.5 by calling it WM6.5 for example. Over at XDA they are compiling a list of shortened names. Can we all live with … Read more

So a few folks had asked me for a female point of view on mobile tech, and I finally obliged with a few, largely opinion, pieces. Now here’s a point of view from Mommy Land, read on.
After my son was born, it didn’t take long for my mother to start making “battery-operated baby” jokes. Certainly compared to my own childhood, she’s absolutely right. My son, at 3, received his first console game – the Vtech Vsmile. There was some initial frustration at first, but by his 4th birthday not only was he manipulating the joystick with ease, but he was also a master mouse-user thanks to Noggin (now NickJr.) online games. Now, at 5, he’s quite good at the NickJr games and has even started straying into some of my casual games (which he plays, but doesn’t quite have the reflexes or reading abilities for. But he really, really, tries).
I’m not quite ready to sink money into a Nintendo or Gameboy, and I certainly am not going to get him an iPod or iPod Touch for several reasons, but believe me, there are plenty of times when I would love to give him something to occupy himself with. And Gizmodo has been posting teasers from a Toy Fair. There are two that really caught my eye.

The dialer is particularly not completed. PocketNow was able to dig up an image of the dialer in its current state. … Read more
