iPhone v Blackberry
Filed Under Handheld | Leave a Comment
As mentioned below, I have finally got an iPhone! On the surface it has been very impressive!
The iPhone has great applications both free and paid through it’s app store, some developers have been very creative with what you can run.
The device looks flashy, it’s menu is quick and the usability is great. But does it have the right features for a business user?
I don’t think so!
- Battery Life is poor… And be mindful if you have it connecting to wireless networks.
- No direct USB connection, to store files directly. (I found a wifi, sharing app that cleverly gets around this but need’s wifi)
- Calendar reminders – If you accept on the device the computer will still remind you.
- Using Exchange Active Sync, doesn’t allow connection to internal app’s like the intranet.
The Blackberry Bold on the other hand has the answer to all of these…

If the iPhone had a blackberry interface/application it would be a real draw card for corporates. At the moment Blackberry is popular onyl because of the application push technology… most people are bored of the basic devices that do no more than any common phone.
An iPhone becomes more like a portable computer in your pocket with a screen that make using the internet actually possible.

Mac OS independance…
Filed Under Laptops | Leave a Comment
Apple have been coming out with great gadgets lately and the main attraction is that the hardware is trendy, usable and sleek. But when are Apple going to release an OS independant computer? How great would it be to walk into a computer store and select your hardware and operating system. I would love to get the new Apple Notebook Air with Windows on it! I know you can run funky programs to run it, but I want true hardware independance and then I can select my own operating system. Likewise I am sure there are many people out there who would by a PC and be happy running Mac OS on it.
It is only then will we see more companies writing applications that can work across all platforms making any OS suitable for businesses and other large organisations.

Plasma v’s LCD
Filed Under Plasma/LCD Screens | Leave a Comment
For many years now I have been a plasma fan. I had never thought the LCD technology had caught up in size versus quality. My Panasonic 42inch Plasma which I purchased 6 years ago is still going great guns. Even now, I think some of the cheaper plasma and LCD screens don’t compare to buying quality. Panasonic have recently released a media compain pushing the fact that Plasma is still better for a big screen, I applaude them on this, even though they are pushing plasma because that is what they do best, their website comparing different types is honest and gives the general consumer a very clear understanding of the differences.
Having said all that, a mate of mine purchased a new Samsung 40inch CD screen 5 months ago and I have to say… wow!!! It is a great picture, certainly the best I have seen on the market for an LCD of that size. The key factor still remains though, LCD – Black is Grey! however colors are clear and true. Plasma – Black is Black but the brightness is not there for sun filled rooms.
Anyway, check out the Panasonic site for a clearer picture http://www.whychooseplasma.com.au/ and if you are still interested in LCD check out Samsung http://www.samsung.com/au/products/tv/lcdtv/

Gadgets is catching on!
Filed Under Site News | Leave a Comment
We have had the domain and business name Wireless Gadgets for 5 years now, I notice that the term ‘gadgets’ is finally catching on! The new Microsoft release uses ‘gadgets’ in their desktop dashboard application. Mac have been using ‘widgets’ in it’s dashboard for some time and Microsoft has released similiar functionality in Vista called Windows Sidebar which allows you to plugin ‘gadgets’ to configure this handy tool that can display weather, news, calendar items and much much more.
