This is my amateur clip of part of the Nokia event yesterday in NYC made with my N80.
The N95 was one of the stars of the launch. A group of us were the panelists moderates by Om Malik of Gigaom.
Another highlight of the event was the launch of a community of music influencers managed by David Bowie supporting models N70, N73 y N91 that are especially designed for music with 8GB of memory. Are these phones going to be iPod killers or will Apple reply with the Apple phone?

The Number of FON Access Points that are Available
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Fon with No Comments
For months now we have explained in our maps that the markings we had in the FON Maps were not access points, but registered FONeros. Nevertheless, everyone at the community felt that we needed to show active hotspots as well as registered FONeros. So we developed software that now queries all access points many times a day. This was done by the team headed by Jose Antonio Arribas and it was not easy to implement. Unfortunately, this software does not work on access points that do not have the latest version of our software, so basically when you see our maps an orange point is a maybe for access while a bright green is guaranteed access.
So how many active access point do we have? We do not know. But we do know now how many are active and with the latest software. Those anyone can see in our maps. We apologize that we were not able to come up with a way to query the earlier installs.

HIV Testing Committment
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in General with No Comments
During the 80’s a group of scientists at McGill University and I started a company called Medicorp in Montrea,l who became known for being one of the first makers of AIDS tests and who also developed and AIDS treatment called Passive Immunotherapy.
At that time, it was very hard to promote massive HIV testing, because there were no treatments for HIV AIDS. Now with new treatments there´s hope for HIV infected patients and at the Clinton Global Initiative actor Chris Tucker and others announced a program to promote HIV testing.

Hong Kong: Warehouse with a View
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Fon with No Comments
The Foneras arrived in Hong Kong. Yat Siu, our fonero leader in Hong Kong, is preparing a most creative launch in that wonderful city. I don´t want to give it away, but I have a sense that it will be a model for FONeros all over. In the meantime here´s a picture of the ammunition 🙂
