Nokia have just released details of a bunch of new phones, including a clever fold-out design. But best of all, I think, is the Nokia Observation Camera - set it up somewhere and it'll send its photographs wirelessly to your phone or email address. Coincidently, Nina and I were just talking about how we could get live pictures from the boat on Saturday, and we came to the conclusion that the technology wasn't quite there yet unless you hacked it together yourself.
Joi Ito mentions that WECA are about to annnounce a new set of mechanisms to address the vulnerabilities in wireless LANs. This is interesting as we're just in the process of writing a report on wireless security and while wardriving for it we found that around 70% of wireless networks didn't even have basic security settings enabled.
I ordered a wireless card the other day from the uk and so I was excited to get a box in the post this morning. The first open wireless networks in Copenhagen have been started by a group called Organic Network, and so I installed the card, cycled into town with my laptop, and after a bit of playing around with my network settings, I'm sitting in a cafe writing this online! Nina and I are working on a project to set up some similar networks in the area, so I'll keep you up to date on progress. Have to get back to surfing now!
I can now update this blog by sms though I get an annoying tag added by the phone company that I need to remove. In Nina's university now.
