tryphone update - new phones to test drive

we first reported on tryphone last december, when the service was first introduced by molecomplete. for those of you who need a refresher, tryphone gives you the ality to try cellphones before you buy. use their interactive online virtual handsets to test-drive mole devices, applications, content and services, as well as watch demos - right from the comfort and convenience of your own computer.
as they say on their site:
"no pressure, no salespeople, no product uncertainty and no features you don't understand. try it, then go buy it... on your terms."
when they first launched, you could try out 4 phones. i checked in on them today, and they are now up to 15 phones, including the palm centro, and the lg shine.
they are still in beta so there are some kinks to work out, but this is a cool idea and a nice service. we may add their widget to the blog.

back from day 1 of barcamplondon4 [cnc]
the first day of this first barcamplondon of the post-bbc era is over, and here i am to write down a few considerations on the experience.
the overall impression is awesome, and i think the general mood is that this event is definitely up to the standard we were used, although in the morning i saw a quite a g stack of “undelivered” badges that gave me an early feeling of emptiness.
another thing that hit me as soon as i got to the leicester square venue was the fact that the rooms are actually spread over three different non-contiguous floors of an eight floors building and, on average, quite tiny (10-12 people). i immediately thought this was going to be a logistic nightmare.
i was (happy to be) wrong: having many (8) small rooms (well, two are actually ggish boardrooms that can easily host 40-60 people) turned out to be a very good context to spark conversations, as each and every session i’ve been to turned out in a lively, often inspiring, discussion.
and about logistics, i must say that thanks to the wonderful endurance of the first floor staff that kept giving direction and routinely fob-ing the door (i felt sorry for them), and a really awesome 6th floor terrace overlooking soho and acting as decompression space (and no, it wasn’t even raining!) the experience has been more than enjoyable.
among the topics i’ve learned about today:
* arduino rfid hacks (by nigel crawley with whom i attended the rfid workshop at the dana centre a couple of weeks ago - it’s been interesting, although a t frustrating, to see where he went from there)
* making a better system for governt consults. with harry metcalfe from tellthemwhatink, and also rob mckinnon from theyworkforyou.co.nz.
* how to make a proper italian espresso (no, really!) - with car boscolo and julius solaris, who then went on presenting his ideas on building a “proper”, all-in-one solution for event managet. thanks to a really interested audience, the follow-up conversation lead to the potential basis to start outlining and/or building something! fingers crossed (and yes, good espresso is obviously essential to properly manage a conference, so everything fits).
* usable conference, a project by jure chalev on creating guidelines for a successful conference, something along the line of what we did in italian on the bzaar wiki - note: i think a set of tangible deliverables would really help in this case, like a checklist that you can actually print and carry with you when you’re considering venues, or at the event itself.
* usality testing for console games, with andy budd. a lot of interesting facts and ideas, first of all that, quite unexpectedly, most of the console games that hit the shelves don’t actually go through a proper usality testing process. key idea: games, unlike for example office suites, cannot afford to be unusable.
* t web application architecture, with a cool demo chaos game session.
a great part of the day has been also, as usual, the presence of old friends with which to hang on,
and force you to talk through your thoughts.
