I’m going to see how much I can do with my new Nokia 95.
Why the dickens would you do that no one in 1970’s wrote a column about trim phones you insufferable technose?
Well in phones like N95 I think the future has finally arrive. let me explain I’ve always been a future head I think seeing the Thunderbirds movies after school day did that and the moon landing tomorrows world, the dragon 32 and getting our first soda stream. I remember seeing the much overlooked series Star Cops and the “hero’s” having a pocket device that did everything played music, controlled the telly looked stuff up fro him. Well we have finally got there.
Also I was reading Stephen Fry’s amusingly if slavishly Apple focused column the other day. And much as I admire Stephen and his writing I am slightly annoyed that he’s always banging on about technology but when it comes to expressing himself he’s surprisingly old school. He has loads of kit but as far as I know doesn’t make films etc with them. In fact apart from a podcast he uses pre-war tech, film cameras, the broad sheets, TV. Etc. I just think he should stop swooning over Apple’s latest underspecced over priced trinket and do something creative with it.
So I thought I’d put my money where mouth is and try it all myself. So in next few weeks I will:
Making films on my phone (let’s say 95 just to raise the stakes) which will try to edit and upload from my phone.
Try to blog mobilely
Take loads of pics
Do some sound recordings (if not a podcast)
Set up the GPS and explore that, I mean I was looking at the satellite pictures of my brother’s house last night on my phone! That is simply out of this world incredible.
