Wireless history: A great insightful article by Alan Reiter about the "new" wireless data network technology Microsoft introduced at CES last week (via Robert Scoble). The great thing about Microsoft is that they have so much $$ in the bank that they can afford to toss stones into the pond as often as they wish. Remember Bob?

Moblogging: Russell is looking at moblogging using his new Nokia 7650. While I can see the use for being able to send pictures I take from my mobile phone to say a wblog, I still don't really see how typing complete weblog entries into the keyboard of a mobile phone using T9 would be much fun. My T68i supports T9, but I find typing even short SMS to be difficult and slow. Perhaps the 7650 is better for that - but weblogging from a mobile phone..... So I will be very interested to see how Russell gets on.

Safari update: Apple quietly released a new beta of Safari yesterday. I do wish there was some way of automatically getting the new version (as I am sure there will be a few).

Chinese Bloggers: What do you think of getting something (some type of logo/icon) up on the weblogs showing support for Chinese bloggers? How about "Free Blogs - Free Speech" in Chinese?

Tracking back: Looks like Steven is already working on Trackback for Radio.

China blocks bloggers: As has been noted elsewhere, China is blocking access to blogs hosted on blogspot. The Chinese bloggers can post to their blog - but then not read any entries. Dave is covering this.
