iPhone 4G = Skype Video Mobile

see also internal pictures

As a person who likes to take a camera with a phone in it, it is good to see that Apple has not forgotten us.  But seriously folks, the photo capability of the Satio still kicks all iPhones to touch.

No phone is perfect, and I like the iPhone 4G because it is narrower and thinner, and to me it is more of a Skype machine that will work.

So this is the first Skype mobile that will work properly. Maybe a video call will work properly for a change anywhere for once, such that any non-geek can operate it easily.

4G video calling, here we come.

Update on Sony Ericsson Satio

I have now had the Sony Ericsson Satio now for a few months. I must admit, to me it is more of a camera and a video camera than a phone. I have bought a leather cover for it, and I feel I have everything I need in one pocket. I cannot remember the last time I used my other cameras. All you need is a good internet connection like Vodafone, and with Picassa and YouTube you can take and put it away neatly.

The fact that I can have four different browsers in it is nice. The best one is Skyfire, then Opera 10, then Bolt. The one Sony has only works when the phone starts. Once the cache is filled, it stops.

The software that Sony provide can be confusing, but the free copy of photoshop lite is nice. I usually send the photos via email but synching is good too. Contacts can be synched with Funambol or Roadsync (which asks for money after a while). Google sync does not have this version for Symbian still. Sony do provide OTA synching but it does not put the inbox above the other folders.

The only thing that Sony should have put in would be a tracker ball to be able to scroll around the pages without using ones fingers. Otherwise the menus are great. I love the fact that the centre button will tell you which programs are running. By far the best app is Snaptu.

Initial look at Sony Satio

ok folks I just got the new Sony Ericsson Satio, and I am using the touch screen qwerty key pad in landscape mode. You also have a mini keypad to use to see the page as well.

This is an amazing piece of kit. The photographic side of things I will explore later.
