Take your Geolocated photos into Google Maps via Geo-RSS with ease!
This may be old-school for some of you, others will appreciate this simple tip. If you use a GPS-enabled cameraphone (like the Nokia N95, N82, Nokia Navigator etc…) then you can easily post your photos to flickr or other online services (use a tool like Shozu to help with this). But did you know that Flickr creates a Geo-rSS feed from your photo stream? Even better, you can simply copy and paste your Geo-RSS feed location into the google maps search bar and voila… your photos are now available via Google maps to share with others, save to your mymaps or whatever the heck you want to do. Simply look at the bottom of your flickr page, you’ll see options like RSS, GeoFeed and KML – yes you can easily open your photos in Google Earth too! See my stream in Gmaps here.

AT&T CEO on Symbian smartphones in the US
A great interview over at engadget has the CEO of AT&T on the hotseat. He apparently doesn’t hold back and is ticked off because the Europeans get all the cool devices months ahead of us and he cites devices that are full of flaws as another reason for devices like the N75 and E62 dragging their heels getting to market in the US. Sounds like a lame excuse to me… hey de la Vega, start stocking some freaking Symbian smartphones at AT&T will ya!! More on this over at symbianone or see the interview at Engadget
The Mobi3 project will create mobile phones using 3D modeling
Dassault Systemes, DLA Piper, IBM, Nokia and SFR – brought together by IMS Entreprendre pour la Cite and the Engage Network – have launched Mobi3, a unique educational opportunity for middle school students. The companies have partnered with the French Ministry of Education to set up an innovative year-long syllabus for 120 young people from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Through the program, the students will participate in a team project and discover hands-on the technology, processes, people and careers linked to the creation of a mobile phone. As part of the program, student teams will create mobile phones using 3D modeling software as well as make proposals on how they would manage each phase of the phone’s lifecycle. At the end of year-long program, teams will present their projects to a jury of professionals from participating companies. See http://www.csreurope.org/ourevents/marketplace2007
