Yesterday I was able to setup my phone to act as a modem over bluetooth to my laptop. It’s not as easy as just selecting a few options. So I thought I would put up all the info you need to get it working.

The information that you need to fill in when asked is:

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
GPRS CID String or Telephone number: wap.cingular
Modem: Generic GPRS CID1 +CGQREQ

Then follow the instructions at captnswing.net.

This past weekend I attended Dev House Boston and with the help of Dan Pickett, Kyle Bradshaw, and Corey Goldberg I was able to add new functionality to Corripio. I had no intentions to work on Corripio when I got to Dev House, however Kyle heard that I was a Mac developer and was wondering if there were any Mac equivalents to Tag & Rename. So from there we set out to add the ability to fetch missing tag information from the web via Amazon. We were able to finish the ruby script that pulls the information from Amazon by the time the day was over. I am still working on incorporating it into Corripio, look for it in the next version.
