This is cool. From the notes that I read over the weekend they are impressed with the bandwidth they are getting between the rover and Earth. Something like 150% better than they predicted. I couldn’t find the direct quote but I think it was like 24Mbit/sec…. To Mars!!!

Some things today for you geeks out there.
I mentioned last week about mbuzzy.com and how you can download ringtones and such to your Sprint phone. Well, it seems that you can do much more than that. I found quite a few java based applications out there for all kinds of phones at this site. I found out that if I register at mbuzzy (which is free) I can upload applications to my locker and have them sent right to my phone. When I started out searching on google for java based applications I found a great deal of posts where people were confused at what to do with most of the .jad and .jar files. I found that I can view the properties of the .jad link so that I can copy the URL to the clipboard and then go to TinyURL (Thanks TechnoD) and paste it. This gives you a MUCH friendlier URL to type into your built-in phone browser. If that doesn’t work, just post the application to your locker in mbuzzy and have them send it. This seems to always work (unless the app is not compatible).
Anyway, I now have a Jabber/MSN/AOL client, Email, Telnet client, subnet calculator, and even a blog tool!!! Yes, I have gone crazy!!! J
This looks a lot like the A600 from Samsung. I had one of those for a while (it’s not a pocktepc phone) and I didn’t really like the flip part. It was nice and all, but if you had it flipped and someone called you either had to plug in your headset (not too bad as it was probably already in) or open the phone… then flip it around… then answer the call. Kind of awkward to say the least.

I would actually like to see this for the PC. My keyboard takes up too much space on the desk and it could also be used to make macro keys to do what ever you want. Plus it would make me feel like Mr. Dillinger in Tron! Way cool!
