When iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle that are not audiobooks. Podcasts of type .m4b or AAC will not play on iPod shuffle when it is in shuffle mode, which is the intended behavior, although a podcast of type .mp3 or .wav may play while in shuffle mode.
To play an audiobook or podcast that is on iPod shuffle, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in any order
A new service from Qik provides you with the ability to stream video to the web from your mobile phone. It currently works on most Nokia phones and has been used to good effect by Robert Scoble at Davos and Mac World. This obvious, but well implemented solution is a great extension to video just stored on your phone. how long will it be before we see it in daily news programmes with roaming citizen reporters. Well worth a try if you have a Nokia, but watch phone bill if you don’t have an unlimited data plan.
At long last, after countless issue with Parcel Force i received my N810. I had been without one since selling the N800, but the wait was worthwhile. Its screen and keyboard are excellent and the battery life is as good as ever. The new interface is slick and a joy to use. My only issues are that the internal GPS is just too weak, in the manual it says something like ‘ works best in blue sky’ (it’s not kidding and i will be sticking to my Tom Tom for in car navigation) and the email client is poor (but can be rectified by downloading and installing Modest). The thing i’m most happy about is the ease with which you can install Java, just follow the simple instructions posted on Jayson Falkners Blog and your ready to deploy standard application, rather than just running applets.
