Lack of news there
by rajan r on Sun 18th Jan 2004 09:12 UTC

The problem with that site is it lacks news. No offence to David, but people won't go if there aint any content. That's why from yesterday onwards I have been using the "Submit News" section, and plan to do that regularly.

Gizmodo the better alternative?
by Brandon Philips on Sun 18th Jan 2004 10:03 UTC

I have never enjoyed reading NewMobileComputing because the Gizmodo (http://www.gizmodo.com) website has always been a little bit better. Possibly with a little more work NewMobile could change my mind

I like NMC

I enjoy reading NewMobileComputing, I say keep up the good work folks!

More integration

Would be nice if you could configure OSNews (cookie stored settings) to show news from both sites.
Maybe even be able to choose to which categories of news to show from both respective sites.

And there is a Mobile Computing News box on OsNews.

what you really need...
by mikesum32 on Sun 18th Jan 2004 16:52 UTC

is a hardware review site to review mp3 players, firewire and USB products, small form factor pcs, printers, ans digital cameras.


Just a friendly suggestion.

Looking for Helpers
by David Adams on Sun 18th Jan 2004 17:05 UTC

Rajan R, thanks for your submissions. Truth is, NewMobileComputing hasn't caught on as well as I'd hoped, so I alternate between being enthusiastic and wondering if it's all worth it to continue. So that's the reasons why the site isn't updated as regularly as Gizmodo, for example. In fact, I've been thinking of merging in the site with another site of a similar nature, and partnering with someone else. If any readers might be interested in a partnership like that, let me know.

Ringtones
by radioact1ve on Sun 18th Jan 2004 18:04 UTC

Sorry to get off the subject but since where talking about mobile computing does anyone know where I can still get free ringtones for my cingular-samsung phone? i remember i use to get them all the time with my nokia one. thanks for your help.

New Mobile Suggestion
by Marcus on Sun 18th Jan 2004 18:45 UTC

I think that one of the reasons Gizmodo is so successful is because images really drive the site. New Mobile Computing does not have a bunch of cool gadgets right there on the front page when you go to the site. That's my suggestion.

Easier to access
by Androo on Sun 18th Jan 2004 19:33 UTC

NewMobileComputing is a great site, but for me and my lack of wanting to type newmobilecomputing.com into a URL field, I don't seem to get there often.

Would it be possible to, somewhere in the main menu or at the top of the page, put a link to NMC? The current one looks too much like an ad so my brain tends to ignore it.

RE: Easier to access
by Eugenia on Sun 18th Jan 2004 20:01 UTC

Androo, we have said many times (and also the above link) goes to www.nmcx.com (and not to newmobilecomputing.com). Both links go to the same site.

I can certainly remember nmcx.com much easier than NewMobileComputing.com, it might be a good idea for the sight to be renamed "NMCX <subtitle> New Mobile Computing</subtitle>"
