Sorry for not blogging for a long time but these last weeks have been really crazy!
So, just a quick post to tell you that we’ve (at last ;)) taken the time to annouce our Seed investment lead by French Operator SFR. We’re very happy to have them on board and already can see the benefits of having the back-up of a well respected and powerful company.
See the full annoucement here.
On a side note, I’ll be in San Francisco in the coming 2 weeks, so, if you want to catch up, drop me a mail!

With the arrival of the ipod Touch, Apple seems to re-invent the PDA (remember?, the big thing you carried along with your phone).
It may be named ipod but has in fact more to do with a complete PDA with great AV functionalities. Do I like it? Certainly but personnally I can’t be carrying a phone + such kind of device, too heavy, too many cables.
Second point I wanted to address is how pissed of I’m with the price differences between europe & US. Even if the Euro is more than 30% more expensive than the Dollar, they still price their devices at higher prices in absolute! The differences reach 40% in some cases. That’s insane.
What do you think?

Quick note about Palm’s (good) decision to cancel the Foleo. I had named it the fooleo and most of the industry was against this device, just because it didn’t make sense.
Now there still is a big issue in the Message to Palm Customers, Partners and Developers. It’s stated that “Jeff Hawkins and I still believe that the market category defined by Foleo has enormous potential. “
Wrong again…There is no market for such kind of devices.
I’m so sorry again to see Palm defending strategic mistakes even when such a company cancels the product.
We’ll see in the future if they completely cancel the fooleo or not.

Quick note to tell you that I switched to Wordpress 2.2.
The good part was that it was really painless, the bad part was that the new widgets system isn’t yet very well adopted by plugin makers.
I had to re-insert all my plugins in the sidebar manually.
I also decided to switch to a new theme done by iKon Wordpress. Looks nice, no?

I discovered and installed yesterday a really cool product by the Techhsmith awesome team: The Jing Project. The small and clever app is more than handy to create snapshots and comes linked to the screencast.com service.
Here’s an sample video I created (only to realise in the middle it was also mic recording ;)).
And here’s a screenshot of the nifty little sun it (the UI of the app in fact) it puts on your desktop.
Best of all, it comes in Mac & PC flavors and it’s completely free.
I guess that Plasq’s yet to be released Skitch has a serious, free contender.
UPDATE: Their video insertion mechanism for blog really needs to be enhanced since it either takes all of the available room on the page or doesn’t resize properly… So I unembedded the video and simply put a link to it.
