QuickTime 6.5, now 'au' friendly

mobile

Apple has released QuickTime 6.5.

It now supports with 3GP2 and AMC audio thus works better in contents creation for cellular phones from 'au'.

As I have started moblogging on nobilog2 and sends a lot of packets over the phone, now I want CDMA 1x WIN, but if I do so, my life would be too complicated; also I want not only the CDMA 1x WIN but also the EZNaviWalk, the GPS feature which is only available on some non-1x-WIN phones.

bluetooth phone in Japan?

NTT DoCoMo has announced FOMA 900i series; the W-CDMA cell phone they would release in February 2004.

They support Flash and bigger (in file size) Java applications, etc. They come with famouse game such as Final Fantasy. DoCoMo claims they may not look as wierd as some phones from other company (i.e. INFOBAR) but they are better designed; well, maybe functionally yes, but I wonder if they are emotionally well designed. Unfortunately, I wasn't moved.

As a Mac user, the most interesting bit of information from this new FOMA announcement was F900iT which will be released at even later date (some time in Spring); "T" seems to stands for technology. It has touch panel (nice!) and best of all bluetooth built-in (finally!). At this point, they haven't disclosed which profile they will be supporting. But I am very much looking forward to iSync support as well as Salling Clicker support. For the latter to happen, people at Fujitsu need to be acquainted with this award winning software.

I wish I had the chance to show it to them ...
