Madrid Café 2003
This is what I used for on-the-go tech in 2003 sitting in a café in Madrid. A Psion 5mx and a brick Nokia mobile phone The Psion had a great form factor that had a keyboard that was just big enough for touch-typing and small enough to fit into a jacket pocket. It also had the wonderful benefit of being distraction-free.
Not forgetting the camera, a Canon Powershot S30. A remarkably pocketable device for the time.
Just tried a beer called Expresso stout at Adriano’s Bar, one of my favourite places to have a drink in Bern. Nice taste with just the right mixture of coffee and stout.
The most disappointing aspect of shooting photographs on the iPhone 4S is the dismal low light performance. This article from Petapixel piqued my interest about how the lowlight performance of the new Nokia 920 ranked against other cameras.
In order to back up its claim that PureView low light performance is “unbeatableâ€, Nokia set up a “photo challenge†booth at its launch party and invited passers-by to pit their cameraphones against the Lumia 920. The challenge involved shooting a photograph of a still life setup stuffed inside a dark cubby hole in a brick wall.
One sample comparison shows the performance is clearly impressive.
This makes me think there may be a reason to switch to Nokia during my next phone upgrade.
