Have an Android or Linux on your wrist
For several times I have posted about wristwatches, that connect to your smartphone with Bluetooth technology. They are quite handy things, since you can check your email or see who is calling without digging out the phone from your pocket. Believe me, it is very practical in many situations and also very discreet. But these … Continue reading
Samsung Galaxy Series: Slim Stick Type Bluetooth Headset
I got this fancy gadget couple of days ago, and I am quite pleased with it. It goes quite well with Samsung Galaxy Tab. So what is it. Is it a handsfree? Not exactly. Is is a phone? No, it is a Bluetooth headset that looks like a pen. It has a clip just like … Continue reading
Sony LiveView – now it actually works!
I got Sony LiveView almost an year ago, but discontinued using after couple of weeks. There were just too many problems with it, then. Firmware was so buggy, that it kept dropping Bluetooth connection all the time. Also, there were not that many applications available.

Best thing is that it has very good audio quality considering its size. Properly placed over the ears it also filters out ambient noises. This something that … Continue reading
Logitech DiNovo Mini bluetooth keyboard and Galaxy Tab
I experimented and found out that Logitech DiNovo Mini bluetooth keyboard actually works with Galaxy Tab. And it works out-of-the-box with no extra applications. It seems to default on US keyboard but otherwise it works just fine. Touchpad works and you can move arrow shaped pointer with it – just like using a mouse. Read … Continue reading
Samsung Galaxy S and Linux: mass storage, tethering and synchronization
I found on certain web-page some totally misleading instructions on how to connect Samsung Galaxy to Linux PC. There they stated that you have to activate USB Debugging to connect Galaxy to Linux PC and transfer files. This is not correct. WARNING! Do not activate USB debugging unless you are coding and debugging Android software … Continue reading
