I am a thirty something married gay boy living in Sydney, almost on top of the gay scene but not in it!
Why Sometimes blue?, because I love blue, but also I am sometimes blue :)
Mobile Blogging
I am a huge geek (Geek - someone who loves technology and gadgets) and since I work in a technology / design business I need to keep up with trends in technology.
For years I have been going to sales calls with my noebook computer, doing my presentation and showcasing our products all offline.
Well no more will I ever be offline, now thanks to the wonders of th 3 Netcomm Mobile Broadband I am able to be online no matter where I am!
Now many of you will go so what, mobile access has been around for years, and yes it has been but until the advent of the 3G network in Australia it was slow and very expensive! Products such as iBurst or unwired showed great promise but rarely lived up to their potential.
My company's products need a good quality Internet connection not necessarily broadband but at least better than GPRS which is so slow you could wait a month for a page to download!
Being the road warrior that I am I also need a notebook computer that is light weight and has a good battary life. I have been using the Sony Vaio Z1 for about 3 years now, it's a great computer and at only 1.6kgs small enough to lug around all the time.
Unfortunatley it is fast coming to the end of it's lifespan, the battery last less than an hour. The computer also only has a maximum of 512mb Ram which is very limiting these days for graphic intensive applications like Photoshop etc.
I am a fan of the Sony notebooks (No I am not moving to a Mac as much as I love them because of the lack of support for business applications taht I need for my business) , and Sony have released the newest equivalant of my current computer the VAIO 13.3" PRESTIGE NOTEBOOK VGNSZ28GP.
Pretty impressive stats on this machine!
- Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology, Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2500 (2.0GHz)
- 1GB DDR2 SDRAM
- 100GB HDD
- Wireless LAN: IEEE 802.11a/b/g
- DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R DL (Double Layer)
- Display: 13.3" Wide (WXGA 1280 x 800)
- USB
- Bluetooth
- MIC
- Built in Camera etc
So when I come round to replacing the notebook I think this one will be it!

how dare you insist I use a MAC, I would love to if they ran all the applications I need to use and all of the applications ran properly too!
sheesh - I am a speudo programmer so I need an IBM Windoze (Ugh)
Ive been playing around with the mobile access idea too... but I can't believe the rates Vodafone charge for a GPRS account? U'd think the connection speeds were decent for the price you have to pay... We don't get the '3' network here, so no mobile broadband for my company yet ;-(
(Would be interested in a review when you get done)
-PS thanks for blogrolling me dude... I dig it when hot guys check me out ;-)
