[thanks Matt] An AT&T employee who works on Operations tells us that the carrier ordered a last-minute beefing up of its EDGE throughput, latency and coverage in anticipation of the iPhone. The operation, internally referenced as “Fine Edge” will continue
Has anyone played with Fidg’t?
Fidg’t (previously known as GearON) seems quite interesting, intersecting many of the areas I like – aggregation, mobile, visualization.
Has anyone played with it? Seems interesting (here’s a review).

A Nokia Mac app! Hooray! Nokia Media Transfer is now out!
I’ve been using this for a while and it really is nice. It plugs a gap between my phone and my Mac.
Dare I say Nokia is finally playing properly with Apple? Well, I don’t know, but I do know that Nokia phones are no longer second class citizens in the Mac universe. This is indeed a step in the right direction. Together with iSync, you can now transfer contacts, calendar, photos, videos, and music between your dearly paid for Mac and your dearly paid for Nokia phone (alas, only Nseries phones).*
This app makes it easier to transfer music from iTunes to your phone. It also makes it easier to get photos and videos into iPhoto (and back). It doesn’t work on DRM’d (hiss, Apple FairPlay) music and videos, but free stuff will be properly converted to play on your device (assuming you have the right device, yada yada). UPDATE [10jun]: It can also transfer iTunes Plus (purchased but not DRMed music). See Nokia Media Transfer FAQ on Music for more info.
Yes, you can have your cake and eat it!

The Nokia Media Transfer application enables you to transfer pictures, videos, podcasts, music, and files between your Nokia mobile device and your Mac.
*ah, but I also want to synch my to-dos and notes and bookmarks, too. sigh.

A computer that’s a mobile companion
The original Palms were billed as mobile companions to your computer. In those days, the fixed computer ruled and you used a Palm to carry your important computer information with you at all times.
Well, turn around is fair play – Palm’s created a larger companion for your Treo.
Heh heh. I think that’s kinda funny – ‘You mobile phone’s companion. It’s what computers have become.’

The Palm Foleo looks like a subnotebook – but it possibly the world’s largest mobile phone accessory instead.
