Although my WoW guild uses Ventrilo, I was still pretty excited to see that Mac users could now make use of Teamspeak. Not through, uh, Teamspeak itself, but through a 3rd party Teamspeak compatible client called "Teamspeex".

Lots of further information and mirror sites available here: Macologist :: Home and here: booleanís n3wblog. You probably won't be able to access the actual author's website since he's either getting denial-of-service attacks or a tremendous amount of interest :-)

Teamspeak has posted their reaction here: Teamspeak::News. According to various sites, there was initially a threat of legal action, but it seems that calmer heads have prevailed, and the Teamspeak folks are actually going to have a look at it.

Well, I have to say that the latest Windows Mobile, coupled with the iMate JasJar makes for an extremely usable PDA phone.

It seems that Microsoft has concentrated on smoothing some of the rough edges of Windows Mobile rather than adding new bells and whistles, which is just what was needed. I actually have no real complaints about the JasJar itself aside from a rather unfortunate name and a still more unfortunate carrying case. But those are both obviously minor in the grand scheme of things.

Sadly I have absolutely zero connectivity with my Macintosh - neither The Missing Sync nor PocketMac currently support Windows Mobile 2005, and Activesync 4.x under Virtual PC 7 just doesn't want to work at all. I expect that I'll have to be patient regarding the first two, and spend a whole lot of time trying to find out what's going on with the latter.
