This would be my last posting on Antony’s Mobile Blog. I will not blog here anymore.
Why do I decide to stop blogging here? As some of you may know that I am currently working in one of the mobile phones manufacturers. Although I have written disclaimer in the About page that everything written here is purely my personal rants, there might still be a conflict of interests. People may think that this blog is related to the company where I’m working.
In order to avoid any further conflicts, it’s better if I just close the chapters of this blog.
PS: I am still maintaining two other blogs, i.e. Antony’s Life Blog and S60Tips.com. The first one is about my life (unless you know me in person, this may not be interesting for you). The second one is about tips, tricks and tutorials of using S60 phones (a.k.a. multimedia computers).

In this video tour we demo Verizon's new Samsung Juke - also known as the SCH-U470. The Juke is a music centric device with a spring loaded swivel mechanism. It looks for all the world like a regular MP3 player, and even offers 2GB of internal storage for music and a spinnable d-pad controller for easy track selection.

Thanks to petrib who pointed this out. Apple just announced that they are going to support third party applications on iPhone and iPod touch. This is not surprise because developers have been crying for SDK for iPhone. Many people have predicted that Apple will open their platform soon or later; otherwise they will have difficulty competing with “open” smart phones.
What made me surprise is the statement from Steve Jobs in the news. They will have an advanced system that allows developer to access iPhone’s software platform while at the same time protecting users from malicious programs. It sounds like Platform Security in Symbian OS, doesn’t it?
It will take until February to release an SDK because we?re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once?provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc.
…
Some companies are already taking action. Nokia, for example, is not allowing any applications to be loaded onto some of their newest phones unless they have a digital signature that can be traced back to a known developer. While this makes such a phone less than “totally open”, we believe it is a step in the right direction.
There is no detail of how they will implement the system. It could be similar to Symbian’s PlatSec or totally different. Let’s wait and see on February next year.

I have posted similar posting a couple of months ago, Save Our Planet. Since today (October 15), bloggers around the web unite to put a single important issues about environment, I’ll “re-post” the same message. The aim this “Blog Action Day” is to save our planet for a better future.
As mobile device users, what can we do to save our planet?
- Don?t leave chargers plugged in. After charging your device, remove it from the electric socket. Unfortunately there is no chargers for S60 devices that support automatic on/off switch (or is there one?)
- Recycle old devices. Some manufacturers have initiatives of taking back devices from their customers for recycling. See some links at the end of this blog.
- Let your PC gets some sleep. Turn your PC on only when you need it.
If you are interested to find out more information about energy saving actions, please download a free booklet from Greenpeace, How to Save the Climate.

I am currently doing major upgrade on AntonyPranata.com. You will find experience of my web site and blogs in the next couple of days. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here is the summary of the upgrades that I am currently doing:
- Move my web hosting to a better company, which provides more space, more bandwidth and better spam filtering.
- Move all the static contents to CMS. I’ll be using Joomla as the engine.
- For the blog engine, I’ll still be using WordPress. However, I would need to change the theme because of the second change above.
