Skype Shows new Mobile Phone.

word on the street is Skype is showing it Mobile Phone Off at 2008 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today.

and not a mock up but a  real working model based on GSM, the new model that contains software allowing you to make Skype calls over standard phone networks like Orange and T-mobile not over Wi-Fi or USB PC connected

so Skype-to-Skype calls are still free and the sound quality seems equal to normal mobile calls

At present the phone works with The UK and euro standard GSM, but Skype are in talks with the US providers.

bare necessities

So after watching the the Jungle Book I ended up with this tune stuck in my head for days …

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

I didn’t even have to play you a mp3 to start you having that tune singing in your head, welcome back after the holidays :)

High Quality Noise Cancelling Headphones

after SearchSpice recently posted on the ipod headphones leaking so much sound you don’t you your own MP3 player you can just listen to the person sat 3 rows ahead of you.

my mind quickly moved to air travel and my search for decent Noise Cancelling Headphones, I like the idea of losing myself in my choice of noise ..

So I pinged Mel on messenger and asked him what I should buy ( 1 hour later ) this was Mel’s suggested :

the SE420 Sound Isolating Earphones from Shure

or

MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling Headphone from Sony

personally I have always fancied the

High Performance Noise-Isolating In ear headphones from Klipsch

or

QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones from Bose

then but then I thought my readers travel a lot as well what do you use ?

Speech recognition

I’m going to try and make a post by only using the speech recognition that is bundled with the latest Microsoft Vista business.
So far so good, let’s test it with a few words to make guess it wouldn’t know things like Microsoft and centre, low Piss (and centre, low Piss = adcenter, oops).
What about google AdWords O that is impressive.

So far I have been speaking quite slowly and gonna start my speech than a bit quicker than seeing how we get on.

OK and speaks slowly and accurate I think the product works better if you speak slowly precise and take your time to construct the sentence before speaking, in fact this may be good thing to do in life in general.

I’ve use the keyboard ones in dictating this whole message to my computer when I first looked at speech recognition may be five years ago now it was very poor and you have to train it to understand what you were saying we have to say today that Microsoft may have a product that this even I’d take a little time with my accent there may be able to master so speaking quickly and clearly.

David Naylor. It even got my name right

Second attempt :

Okay, I think speaking slowly and accurate is better for this product if you speak slowly precise and take your time to construct the sentence before speaking, in fact this may be a good thing in life in general you will find it picks up most if not all of the things you wanted.

I’ve use the keyboard once while dictating this whole message to my computer, when I first looked at speech recognition five years ago it was very poor and you would have to train it to understand what you were saying, I have to say today that Microsoft may have a product that even with my accent and a little time speech recognition for me maybe not that far in the future.

David Naylor. I still can’t believe it gets my name right I think it’s because David Naylor is the registered owner of this computer so let’s try
