  ¿Conocéis el término “geocaching”? Bueno, se trata de una actividad (¿también deporte?), que consiste en esconder y encontrar tesoros en cualquier lugar y con la ayuda de un GPS. Yo escondo un objeto, después publico sus coordenadas en algún sitio web especializado y el resto de las personas pueden comenzar su búsqueda. Una vez que dan con el objeto escondido, generalmente de poco valor, dejan otro en su lugar o apuntan su nombre, sí el objeto es un cuaderno, para que quede registrado. Cada uno de estos tesoros se llaman “cache”, de ahí “geocaching”, y lo cierto es que este juego GPS está ganando adeptos rápidamente y en todo el mundo. Bueno, el caso es que la empresa Trimble ha sido la encargada de llevarlo al móvil. Durante este Mobile World Congress 2008, la firma anunció la disponibilidad gratuita de su aplicación Geocache Navigator para algunos dispositivos Nokia S60 con GPS incorporado, tales cómo los modelos N95, N95 de 8 gigabytes, N82 y Nokia 6110 Navigator. Si los usuarios de estos terminales descargan Geocacher podrán usar una interfaz parecida a un radar para guiarse hacia sus múltiples destinos. Además, verán en la pantalla del móvil una brújula, mapas de navegación, datos sobre la velocidad, la distancia y demás información valiosa. ¿Os interesa? ¿Ya sois adeptos? Bueno, podéis ver un vídeo demostrativo aquí, o descargar la aplicación desde el sitio web Geocache. Vía: Intomobile

Vodafone wants to target Europe and emerging markets where people look for a simple yet stylish mobile phone with which to just make calls and SMS texts. And well knowing Vodafone they will simply make these two even more attractive by giving them free with a specific Vodafone tariff. As for price…Vodafone hasn't let that one out yet.

Windows Mobile smartphone shipments reached a staggering 14.3 million units shipped globally over the period of six months while Microsoft is predicting to reach the 20 million mark by June. How have they achieved these big sales? Microsoft say it's the HTC Touch and Samsung BlackJack which helped them get ahead of RIM and the iPhone.

I love what Engadget put which is the truth, the Windows Mobile smartphone is called the 610, iPAQ 614, 614c and 600, and we love that. Anyway moving on with this news, so seeing as the iPAQ 610 business phone is not going to the U.S what is the reason? Well HP did not really state the reason why they have canceled it but they did say, “due to recent legal issues between suppliers of mobile phone technologies, HP has decided not to offer the iPAQ 610 Business Navigator to U.S. customers as previously planned.” So the question is, "Will all countries miss out on this smart phone, or is it just America?

I have the Apple iPhone myself and have said in my head the lack of support for web technology is becoming almost universal but the lack of flash is something we should think about, well it seems my question have nearly been answered. Apple apparently and this is of course speculation has been unwilling to add Flash support to the iPhone because it would adversely affect battery life, but many peoples answer to this is Apple do not want to rely on third-party applications. Do you think that the Apple iPhone should have Flash plugin support?
