Google Makes Free WiFi At Airports

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

In an announcement from Google this week (the one last week can be found here), they announced that they are working with airports across the country as well as Boingo wireless, which is a wireless hotspot provider, to provide free wifi access to all major airports for the holiday season.

Wow, that’s huge. Most airport wifi hotspots can cost anywhere from $7/hour or even $20/day and Google and Boingo are “giving back” during the holiday season, which coicidentally coincides with the busiest time of air traffic (Thanksgiving through Christmas holidays).

So, if you’re interested in which airports will be participating in the free Google wifi hotspots during your travel, make sure to check out Moxie Mo Show episode 110. We will be providing you with all the information possible and you can find out more there. Go Google! Happy Holidays!

iPhone’s MMS – Friday Morning

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

According to AT&T’s press release today, they will begin “unlocking” MMS for iPhone 3G/3GS users on the West Coast in the morning and working its way to the east coast “later in the afternoon.” There will be instructions on how to update your phone (more than likely via iTunes) to get this feature that we’ve been waiting for…. months!

Thanks AT&T. Finally, let’s hope.

Canon HV30: One Moxie HD Cam

canon Canon HV30: One Moxie HD Cam

As many of you know, I am the host and producer of the Moxie Mo Show. This podcast is a show all about technology and what I deem as moxie in technology. In the ever competing world of podcasts, one thing you need is a good camera and I believe I found one in the Canon HV30.

Testfreaks.com rates the camera (user reviews, which I like to gauge as the best) as an 7.3 out of 10. We all know Canon makes beautiful and wonderful HD cameras. The problem I’ve had for quite some time is the price. I do the Moxie Mo Show as a hobby and although just recently we got signed by Mevio, my show isn’t my bread and butter. I couldn’t afford a $1200 camera like some podcasts out there which is why I did the show with my Flip Mino HD for a few months. Now, I’m proud to say I was able to get a great deal with the Canon HV30 and it’s definitely worth the $650.

I’m not a technical expert so I am not going to write about every single spec of the Canon HV30 (thus why you should go to Testfreaks.com and you can read everything you want about it), but I definitely encourage you to buy a Canon HV30 for ANY HD recordings.

This HD camera shoots gorgeous 1080 HD footage and uses Mini-DV tapes (which experts all say makes the HD look so much better) as well as gives you the ability to use an external microphone with it as well. It’s perfect for podcasting and perfect for a “family HD camera.” I definitely give it 5 moxies.

iphone iPhone 3.0 Details

iPhone 3.0 is finally here and we have all the details from today’s Apple iPhone 3.0 event.

(1) Copy and Paste – the iPhone will now have copy and paste in almost all the applications. Simply double tap and it highlights the word of block of words.

(2) New Games, API and other programming stuff – which basically means we’ll have much better 3rd party apps for the iPhone. Turn by turn GPS, phenomenal games and other apps.

(3) MMS Support and Messages - the SMS app is now called Messages. You can now forward and delete individual messages and multiple messages. Plus: MMS! The iPhone finally has MMS (sending pics via text message).

(4) Voice Memos – send voice memos via SMS to anyone you want!

(5) Landscape Mode – turn the iPhone over and landscape mode will appear in all the apps – notes, email, SMS, stocks, weather, etc. Makes it much easier to view and write messages and in certain apps, landscape mode gives you more information (i.e. Stocks – turn it to landscape mode and you’ll see delta points from day before stocks, etc).

There is much more to know in regards to iPhone 3.0 and we will have much more later!

applenetbook 300x223 Sources Claim Apples Netbook IS Real

Two sources close to the Dow Jones were told that Apple is indeed planning to launch a touch screen netbook sometime in the 2nd half of this year. Wow.

The mini laptops will have touch screens the size of 9.7 inches and 10 inches which thus means there should be two models that come up.

Here’s what we do know: Apple has a WWDC event coming up in June where they announce all their new and upcoming products, so here’s to thinking this may happen in June. We shall see. As always, I’ll keep you covered.
