http://www.sparkleshare.org/ is a new project on the Internet inspired by Dropbox (a clever fileshareing/collaboration and file syncronising util that uses cloud based storage), SparkleShares force is that it supposodly will be free/open source and you can thus setup your own servers, sounds like something to make a mantal note of..
The first version will be in Linux but should be followed by a windows version, presently no version is publicly available though (as it’s very early in the program, announced June 10th 2010).

I was beginning to consider shifting my old trusty Sony Ericsson cell phone with a smart phone, basically I do not NEED one but as it is annoying me that I can’t use my IPOD Touch online when I’m out, and thus I am playing with the thought of going smartphone (also to stop my brothers wife from seeing me as a neanderthal for not having a smart phone ;-)).
Should it be an IPhone 4 or the HTC Desire that is one of the big questions, one that likely can’t be answered before the Iphone hits the stores..
One thing however that seemed cool to me was when I heard that the HTC phones could be used as WIFI hotspots, basically this would mean that you could (not that I would) skip your broadband at home and just use your phone as your wifi hotspot… Sadly it would seem that this requires some kind of hacking/jailbraking/rooting your phone which does not seem too appealing..
One thing that seem to way for the Iphone is the option to buy a fully featured ‘offline’ GPS suite (not using 3G data connection), sure HTC has Google navigation but I dare you to use it when abroad 🙁 you’ll be ruined as a result of the map data transfer.. and there does not seem to be any ‘offline’ GPS software for the Android phones!? (well this is not 100% true, there is something called 
http://www.mgmaps.com which caches Google maps, but from reading about it it does not seem convincing)..
Anyway, I’m still thinking 🙂
Here’s something about the ‘Rooting’ you need to do to get an Android phone to work as a WIFI hotspot (tethering);
Update!
Christian and Rhys was kind enough to inform me that there does indeed exist several GPS solutions for Android (see comments)..
Eg. http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/android/
Update2!
It would seem that an update to Android 2.2 will offer some cool things to the Desire, it should allow for the phone to be used as a HotSpot (Yeah) and allow video recording in 720p (HD)… Very interesting indeed..
Soluto offers to minimize your boot time, even with Windows 7 boot time is time wasted and a spark for frustration but this utility states it can cut a significant portion of your boot time.

They even call it “Anti-Fustration software” 🙂
I have not tested it yet, but it does sound promising.
