Google Maps finally works with Safari
Google Maps now works with Safari on MacOSX, too. Now if they add a few more countries (right now Google maps works with just one country out of more than 200!) and support for mobile browsers...

I just found the Gainward Hollywood@Home Music2Go 7.1, a 7.1 surround sound USB adapter at Alternate for 29 Euros. Does anybody know, if it runs on MacOSX without additional drivers?
Last week at the 3GSM in Cannes the people from Neonode managed to hide their amazing mobile phone from me and most of the rest of the world by putting their info flyers in the press room somewhere near the end of the show. Nevertheless, the phone is small and light (86 grams), has an optical touchscreen, a Windows CE OS, MP3 and MPEG1/4 player, Internet Explorer web browser, GPRS (no EDGE), a full SD slot, but believe it or not, no email client (yet?). Bluetooth would be nice too to use it as an external modem, but maybe they will create an update, where a bluetooth module hides in the battery...

DEVONtechnology brought out a new version of their DEVONagent for Mac OS X. I just tried it out for a minute and it solves quite a lot of problems I had with searching on the web. Unlike if you go directly to Google , it gives you not only the links of the search results, but the real content and a summary, too. Definitively worth trying out!

In addition to MPEG1 you can record MPEG2 or MPEG4, it supports Teletext, Stereo and S-Video in, and thanks to 2 Firewire ports finally one more free USB port on my Mac, that will receive a Griffin Technology RadioShark, soon.
The $69 Thompson Peak from Fanatic Fringe weighs just 10 ounces/283.5 grams, yet with a total capacity of 3600 cubic inches/ 59 liters including extension collar and pockets it´s big enough for round the world trips.
The EZPower Universal Remote Control costs 25$. No more batteries to buy. A few turns on the knob gives enough energy for another week.
