Can the Nokia E62 do GPS? 
 While I'm waiting for the N95, and looking at the E62 (best of the available alternatives, Those In The Know tell me), I'm wondering if one of the key features of the N95 — GPS — is available somehow with the E62. Says here it is. (What is happening with links there, which look like they're going one place but go to another?) But I see nothing but a press release in the Cingular pages.
 Meanwhile, here's a message to all the gear makers: Provide open cell phones that let us add what we need. You know, like what made the PC such a success in the first place. Let us do the partnering between you and the cell carriers. Differentiate on quality and features, sure; but please stop building silos with the carriers. Customers hate being locked into anybody's silo.
 Place your bets on customer freedom and independence. That's the winning value proposition.
 
Living end 
 The latest last Gillmor Gang was one of the best. We recorded it yesterday. The retrospectives (givings of thanks) by each of the present members (we're never all there, it seems) was often moving. Anyway, Steve says there's a bootleg out there. (Wasn't me.) Watch (and listen) for it sometime this weekend.
 
Happy Alice Day 
 By tradition, radio stations across the country will be playing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant today. One channel on Sirius will play it over and over, continuously.
 And if you want to see Arlo perform it, here's the YouTube. More here, from Sheila Lennon, who also points (amidst a big pile of juicy blog posts) to The YouTube Effect: CBS Gets Massive Boost.
 Bonus blogging: Odd Time Signature's latest.
 
Continued 'training 
 The J Train (A Marketing 2.0 Minifesto) is John Dodds' brief and wise contribution to the growing 'train oeuvre. My fave: Marketing is not a Department.
 Not to mention (though we are) the manifesto thing.
 Hat tip to Hugh for the find.
