Gadget love on national television

TV2 is airing a show called 16 1/2 tonight at 20.00 focused on being online, technology, and gadgets. It's for the latter that I come into the picture. Yesterday, we spent around seven hours shooting footage for a five-minute segment for the gadgets part. 16 1/2 is all about lush visuals, so I'll be showing off the iPod, my new 3G phone, and of course the Powerbook.

But the gadgets in themselves doesn't seem to excite as much as the combination of gadgets and a life free from cords and location-fixed obligations. So we shot the whole deal at Charlottenlund Fortet under the pretext that I had moved the office outside due to the lovely weather. It actually was a spectactular nice day, so it wasn't as far-fetched as it could otherwise seem.

Update: Video (5 min)

The segment will feature an interview with me babbling about what gadgets mean to me in particular and men in general, lots of pretty shots of me skating around doing apparantly much important work on the phone, and the forementioned showoff of the actual gadgets.

Obviously, it's the interview part that worries me the most. I'm certainly capable of embarrassing myself, but I fear just how accentuated that skill will be in the hands of a cutting expert. Oh well. The most important thing is that I hopefully make Apple and 3 look good. Both companies seem to have a hard time in Denmark despite their leading technology. Anything that can raise the publics awareness on the goods they have to offer is going to get my sympathy.

Hah. The link from their page to yours reads "Læs David Rasmussens weblog her".

Oh, that's priceless. They've synthesized my name and that of the journalist (Sven Rasmussen). I suspect he'll correct that mistake himeself.

Det var da utrolig meget pladder du fik lukket ud på TV2. "Der vil altid komme en ny gadget" ... og en ny popfyr, som tror han er smart :-)

Et sted man kan se det online?

Challenge by David Heinemeier Hansson on April 29, 22:14

Jeg tror planen var at det ville være online senere i dag på http://16enhalv.tv2.dk/article.php?id=658903 -- desværre er TV2 vist blevet en division af Microsoft Danmark. I hvert fald kan deres videoindslag ikke ses fra en Mac. Temmelig ironisk, når Sven (TV2-journalisten) nu sad med min Powerbook i oplægget til indslaget, og lod som om det var noget han brugte til arbejde. Suk.

Er indslagene overhovedet kommet op? Jeg kan ikke finde links til dem nogensteder...

Hey David hvad er det for en telefon du har? Jeg har lavet noget udviklingsarbejde til deres første Motorola-telefon (tror den hed A900 eller A920 eller noget i den dur) og den _stank_.

Jeg kan lidt lide deres NEC og den Sony Ericson der endnu ikke er nogle specs på, på deres site.

Bruger du deres tjenester til noget? Hvilken slags abbonoment har du? Det lader til de kun annoncerer deres Boom og det ser rimeligt uinteressant ud sammenlignet med andre teleselskaber af mere traditionel art...

Det er en Motorola A925. 3 har haft to tidligere Motorola-modeller: A835 og A920. Begge var særdeles tvivlsomme, primært fordi de var lukkede. Man kunne altså ikke installere egen software. Og der var heller ikke bluetooth.

Så da A925'en kom både åben og med bluetooth, så var der først noget ved det. Det er en rigtig fed telefon takket være den store skærm, stylus (med virtuelt qwerty) og Symbian 7.0/UIQ 2.1.

Jeg bruger deres Guru til at finde kort med AGPS og så bruger jeg deres videoklips fra tid til anden. De er faktisk ret gode til at opdatere, så der er hver eneste dag en masse nye klip. Og med 3Guld, så er alt indhold på portalen "gratis" (man betaler jo via abonnementet).

Det fede ved 3Boom er at det er et 3G-abonnement, hvilket ikke rigtig kan sammenlignes med 2G. På 3G kan du rent faktisk holde ud at sende mails og bruge en browser, når du får omkring 12kb/sec -- i modsætning til de 2-4kb/sec, som man får over GPRS.

Og så synes jeg faktisk priser er rimelig hæderlige. 70 øre/minut, 15 øre/sms og 10kr/mb. Så er der selvfølgelig et abonnement på 49kr/mnd oven i, men det er i mine øjne en lille pris at betale for at være på 3G i stedet for 2G.

Challenge by David Heinemeier Hansson on April 30, 19:18

Ja, den nye SE ser fed ud, men den bliver lige spicy dyr nok til mig. 4999,- så jeg på deres prisblad, da jeg købte min A925 til 2399,-. Men det kommer jo meget an på, hvad man vil bruge sin telefon til. Hvis det primært er til at ringe og SMS, så ville jeg langt hellere have en 2G telefon. Specielt på grund af batteritiden (som på A925 er én dag).

Hvis man tilgengæld gerne vil bruge sin telefon som modem, se serier/film, læse ebøger, spille spil, skrive mails, surfe, osv, så har 3 med deres highend telefoner klart den bedste deal.

Challenge by Morten Krog on April 30, 20:22

I know. A920 shippede med en beta udgave af opera der havde en alpha-transparancy bug der fik browseren til at knække sig på nogle sider -- og man kunne ikke få lov at patche til releaseudgaven af browseren. Suk!

Jeg tror ikke lige sådanne telefoner er for mig, men om nogle år når Europa kun er 2 dekader bagefter Japan på det her punkt, så måske.

Challenge by David Heinemeier Hansson on May 01, 13:58

Hvilke features fra Japanske telefoner kunne du godt tænke dig at se i de europæiske? Og hvis de features, der findes nu ikke er tiltalende, hvorfor vil mere avancerede versioner af det samme så være det?

Challenge by Rasmus on May 01, 20:21

Amerikanernes Push-To-Talk-teknologi synes jeg virker ret smart, men det er så bare mig.

Challenge by Morten Krog on May 02, 12:11

David, jeg mente egentlig mest at jeg ikke er typen der er first-mover på det her område. Når teknologien er mere udbredt (s0m den er i Japan), får den større værdi for alle med adgang til den.

Det tager vil nogle år for 3G rigtig at slå an i Danmark. Når det har, hopper jeg sikkert med på vognen.
