Fitbit provided me an evaluation unit of the new Fitbit Ultra activity tracker that became available today ($99.95).

I’ll have a more detailed review available later (probably on SocialTimes.com). But, here are a few initial impressions.

- Same size as the original fitbit
- Display is brighter
- Belt clip design looks much improved
- New sensor! Altimeter for stair climbing stats and more
- New Fitbit tracking web page design

Posted In: Microsoft, Windows Phone

Windows Phone 7.5 has a lot of new features. One of favorites is its ability to navigate among recently launched apps. You can see how this is done in the video embedded above. You press and hold (long press) the back button at the bottom left of a Windows Phone devices held in portrait mode. This brings up a list of large icons representing recently used apps. Navigation is side-to-side. Tap any of the apps to bring it to the foreground for use.

Bumper crop of app updates. Are these all Mango-ized for Windows Phone 7.5?

iPhone 4 Camera message: The iPhone needs to cool down before you can use the flash

by todd on September 29, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Posted In: Apple

This is a screenshot of the message I saw after picking up my iPhone 4 to take a photo. The iPhone had been lying idle for at least an hour before being picked up. No calls had come in. Nothing except normal background processing for things like email had been going on as far as I am aware. The air temperature is about 82F: Warm but not hot. So, why this message?

I should also note that I was not trying to use the flash.

I think I may need to make a visit to the local Apple Store Genius Bar soon.

There’s a bit of hand-wringing going on because of potential privacy problems related to the server side interception and processing of web page requests.
