Forget the iphone, the latest version of Live Search for Mobile is the killer app for mobile phones! This FREE program is the ultimate tool for local searches, you know to find the closest coffee shop, pub, dry cleaners, etc providing both the location and contact information.

It's more than just a text search though, it's mapping capabilities rock! Combining search with Virtual Earth mapping. Paired with a Blue Tooth GPS receiver, the application turns your phone into a turn-by-turn GPS routing solution.

 With direct info on Traffic, Movies, and more - this takes mobile to a whole new level. Great job!

If you have a Windows mobile phone, this is a must have! Check it out.

T-Mobile has apparently release a very cool new Windows Mobile 5.0 device called the Dash. I haven't had one in my hands, but the device looks more natural than devices like the Q.

Look like a nice form factor. More information is available here and here.

Last week the man in the brown truck brought me a small black box with very exciting contents, my Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC).

What a great little device! So far I'm totally impressed with it. The out of box experience was excellent, getting me up and running in no time. As an existing Tablet PC user, the Q1 was a logical choice for a mobile device, especially during my trip to Germany later this summer. It's light weight and small size will make it an easy addition to gear. I'll post more on the detail of the device, but for now I want to say thanks to Samsung for making it, and thanks to Best Buy for selling it!
