Don’t forget one major issue with the Droid (and it seems android phones in general) is that you can only install applications to the phone’s built in flash memory. I’ve been looking at the Moto Droid too but that is a big letdown IMO.

Hey Paul, It's the "sticking with Verizon" part that puts a wrench on switching to that device. Also, I've read it has a capacitive screen. One of the advantages of sticking with WinMo for me is that I am pretty good at block recognizer, so that would be out if they scrapped the resistive screen out. Android phones and iPhones have been designed with finger touch in mind, which makes data entry a little slower than stylus imo, but using the phone a little easier since you can leave the stylus at home. I did look at the imagio and that phone was much slower than the droid and the web didn't render nearly as well with that device. It seems like winmo is dated in terms of performance - I don't want a sluggish phone. I'm thinking the Droid wins on these points: * Hip and cool since it is the phone of the moment * New fun OS to play with * Java development (I'm learning Java at the moment so that means I might be able to play with phone sooner) * Since Google, Verizon and Motorola are all throwing their support behind this device it is likely to have any issues patched up in a hurry and accessories will be available * Apps are being made free and a lot of people who are geeks and want the latest thing will be releasing more apps for this phone * The screen, though not oled is very very nice * surfing on this device is very nice, I found it rendered the web very well * the voice search thing is gimmicky, but I actually think I will find myself using it * unlocked GPS for sure (Verizon likes to lock their phones down) * physical keyboard (I think this is an advantage as it doesn't seem to add much bulk to the phone * syncing with gmail would be pretty slick and I wouldn't need to keep paying for yahoo's pop3 (yes, I know you have pop3 with gmail, but gmail syncing seems to be a step above for syncing) * I could stop using outlook and active-sometimes- I-sync and use google docs and calendar and just access things without needing to worry about syncing issues * I could actually get the device now, as I've found a dozen rumors and several employees at Verizon who say they have no clue about Omnia 2 The Omnia wins on: * Apps that are developed by companies that have been making windows ce applications for years * I expect the battery life will be better (only 100 mAh more capacity but I think that screen is the difference) * I can still likely use all my apps (though I know some of them likely won't leap all the way to 6.1 or 6.5, I've found a lot of apps I've had since my ipaq 3600 still work fine on my Axim) * Windows Mobile (documents to go would likely give me this on an android, but would cost a few more dollars) * PIM functions are core and solid in WinMo(nd that is something I really want in a phone, though I can likely replace those with some of the google tools, I don't know if they will work as well) * uBook! * the core video player * I can install MS Money on my phone and sync it with my desktop (I have ms money 2004 and the cab install comes with that, I don't know for sure it will work on wm 6.x, as I haven't downloaded emulator to try it out) * block script input available if I want to use it So at first I was really thinking Omnia, but I'm leaning towards the DROID at this point based upon the information above..... if anyone can point out things that fix concerns, any logical errors in my thinking, features that are really great with either device or OS, or any other devices. -Benjamin --- On Thu, 11/19/09, Temple Fugate <templefugate@ hotmail.com> wrote: From: Temple Fugate <templefugate@ hotmail.com> Subject: RE: [PPCUniverse] DROID!

Ben,

 

I see we’ve been looking in the same directions.

I’m surprised you haven’t looked at the HTC HD2. 400x800 4.3 inch screen to the AMOLED resistive 3.7 touchscreen (nice) on the Omnia 2.

The Omnia 2 has the 2^nd fastest processor I’ve seen on a Smartphone; 800mhz to the 1ghz (fastest) on the HTC HD2.

Everything else seems very similar except the built in memory (2,8,16 GB storage) which seems to be built-in on the Omnia 2.

The HTC has wifi b-g like the Omnia 2, but also has a router feature that allows wireless connections for notebooks.

I included links below for both @ GSMarena.

B,

I did some looking and found that android is being used on your device, but not smoothly yet.

I included a link to a forum below.

Joe,

 

I talked to an AT&T agent who said unlimited is only available for smartphones.

If you use the smartphone (and tell them) with a tethered plan, it reverts to the 5GB limit.

I’ve heard that AT&T flags your cell use at 5GB and checks to see if you are tethered (without telling them).

It voids your user agreement. I feel if you pay for unlimited data use on the network, you should be able to use it as you please.

It’s like paying for water but being told you can’t make Kool-Aid with it.

 

Paul

Google Secret tricks & hacks Posted: 03 Sep 2009 01:22 AM PDT   Google Calculator: Just enter the expression in the Google search box and press enter, the next page will show the result of that expression. Try  searching for 1542-182*2/5 and see the result.     Wild card search: When you place a wildcard character * in your query,  Google will try to replace that * with the keywords that are relevant to the query.   For example try searching for “Google * tricks”. Fuzzy Search: Fuzzy search is type of search made by fuzzy matching. Google returns the results for even the relevant keywords for your query.   For example when you search for ~music player, the Google search also looks for keywords like mp3 music, radio etc.   Number range: If the thing you are searching for has something to do with numbers or number range, then this Google trick is just right for you. If you want to search for a music player having memory between 10 to 30 gb then search for this query “mp3 player 10..30 GB” The results will show you the information about mp3 players having memory between 10 to 30 GB.   Page title search: The page title is the single most part of the page. The title depicts the content. You can search only in page titles using allintitle: before the query. Try searching for “allintitle:tricks”.

HTC Magic Posted: 03 Sep 2009 12:56 AM PDT The HTC Magic isn’t groundbreaking but the Cupcake-full of changes it brings, promise a whole new experience. The formidable and weapon-like G1/ HTC Dream needed every ounce of weight to stand its ground. With an honestly lighthearted and disarming approach, the HTC Magic is willing to play by the conventional touch screen rules. Compact dimensions and distinct styling, decent all round functionality and system expandability, the HTC Magic seems to have what it takes to keep both smart and feature phone touch screens on edge. The second edition of the OS should have dealt with the issues of the forerunner and given the Magic that extra bit of pace. So, what do you call a good platform getting better and a gadget looking more mainstream but still creative enough? We call it good sense but who knows, it may be Magic.

Suppose you want to lock the folder Data; in C: drive. The path for the folder is D:\ . Go to D:\ and create a text file and type command;  ren Data Data.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}  Now save this text file as  hide.bat Create another text file and type in it; ren Data.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} Data Now save this text file as  show.bat Now you can see 2 batch files  hide ; and  show ; . Press  hide ;  and the folder  Data  will change to control panel and you cannot view its contents. Press  show ;  and you will get back your original folder. You can move this folder to anywhere on your drives. But make sure you click on  hide ;  or  show ; .  File when it is placed in D:\ .  else it wont work. Always remember the folder is to be locked and  “show“  and  “hide”  files should be in same folder at the time of using them, after use you can move it.  Note: To rename your text files as bat files? Just go to my computer->tools->folder options->go to the view tab. Now uncheck the ‘Hide extensions for known file types’ then click apply. Now rename your text files as bat files.

Increase your Internet Speed Posted: 05 Sep 2009 01:17 AM PDT                 Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. Don’t you want to get it back for your self? Here is the trick how to get 100% of your available bandwidth. To get it back: Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes. This opens the “group policy editor” and go to: “Local Computer Policy” Then “Computer Configuration” Then “Administrative Templates” Then select “Network” then “QOS Packet Scheduler” After that select “Limit Reservable Bandwidth”. Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.” By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.” So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.   Related Posts September 5, 2009 — Lock or hide private folder in windows without software (0) September 5, 2009 — Icon with no name (0) September 3, 2009 — Google Secret tricks & hacks (0) August 19, 2009 — Increase the Browsing and Downloading speed in Windows Vista (0) September 3, 2009 — Email id tricks for Orkut (0)

Icon with no name Posted: 04 Sep 2009 11:41 PM PDT Icon with no name Normally you have to have a name for an icon, just blank or spaces are not allowed. To make a folder or file with no name, right click on it and select rename. Now hold Alt key and type 0160. Now the icon will have no name below it.     Related Posts September 5, 2009 — Lock or hide private folder in windows without software (0) September 5, 2009 — Increase your Internet Speed (0) September 3, 2009 — Google Secret tricks & hacks (0) August 19, 2009 — Increase the Browsing and Downloading speed in Windows Vista (0) September 3, 2009 — Email id tricks for Orkut (0)

• Become a Spaces Cadet
• Annotating PDFs in Preview
• All About Audio Chats

Become a Spaces Cadet Posted: 12 Sep 2009 05:31 AM PDT Spaces, one of the coolest new features of Mac OS X Leopard, lets you switch among multiple desktops. For example, you might create a communication workspace for Mail, iChat, and Address Book, another for media programs like iTunes and iPhoto, and a third for video games. Then, instead of hiding/showing programs or dragging them around onscreen, you’d simply switch desktops. If you’re the sort of user who tends to have many applications open at once, Spaces is a godsend. In fact, Spaces and Expose share a control panel. To access it, select System Preferences from the Apple menu and choose Exposé & Spaces.. Click the Spaces tab. This is where you set the key commands for activating Spaces and switching between your desktops. You can also specify the number of desktops and how they’re arrayed in columns and rows. (If you check “Show Spaces in menu bar,” you can switch desktops using the menu bar icon as well as key commands.) You also have the option of permanently assigning a program to a particular desktop. If, say, you always want iTunes to open in its own window, click the Add (+) button, navigate to the iTunes application, and click Add. Click-hold in the Spaces field to assign it to a desktop. Here, for example, whenever iTunes is opened, Space 4 will automatically be displayed. Whenever you type your Spaces key commands, you’ll see a translucent overlay depicting the available desktops. Switch between them using the key commands you’ve assigned in the Preferences panel. If you get confused about what’s assigned where, don’t panic — just press the Activate Spaces key command (the default assignment is F8). This opens a global view of all your desktops. Just click within any desktop to open it. You can also move items from one desktop to another simply by dragging them between windows.

Annotating PDFs in Preview Posted: 12 Sep 2009 05:25 AM PDT Under Preview’s Tools menu, you’ll find the options Mark Up and Annotate. Mark Up lets you highlight, strike through, or underline selected text within a PDF. Annotate allows you to draw circles and rectangles around parts of a PDF, append Stickies-style notes, and add hyperlinks. To use Mark Up, choose the Text tool from Preview’s Toolbar. Select your target text with the cursor, and then choose a Mark Up option from the Tools menu (the choices are Highlight Text, Strike Through Text, and Underline Text). To add shapes, links or comments, select a command from the Tools menu’s Annotate list (the options are Add Oval, Add Rectangle, Add Note, and Add Link). If you’ve selected Add Note, simply click anywhere on the PDF. A colored tag appears in the left margin alongside the spot where you clicked. Its default text consists of your user name and the date, though you can alter or add to this by double-clicking on the note. To move notes, double-click their icons (those little cartoon-style balloons) and then drag them. When you double-click a note icon, you can also specify the note’s color and other attributes. To remove a note, double-click its icon and press Delete. All Mark Up and Annotate tools can be summoned via key command. Also, if you use these tools frequently, you may want to add them to Preview’s Toolbar. (By default, they are not shown.) To add them, select the View menu’s Customize Toolbar command, then drag the tools you want from the pop-up onto the Toolbar.

All About Audio Chats Posted: 12 Sep 2009 05:17 AM PDT iChat is a great way to communicate and share files in real time with friends and colleagues, whether they’re across the hall or around the globe. With iChat, you can conduct text chats with anyone who has a MobileMe, AIM, Jabber, or Google Talk account. And if your Mac is equipped with a built-in iSight camera (or an external iSight or other FireWire camera) you can conduct video chats with up to three buddies at once. But there’s another way to chat: via audio. You can invite as many as nine buddies to an audio chat, which makes it great for group communication. As with video chats, you can record audio chats with permission from the participants. Audio chats are especially useful for interviews, long-distance business meetings, family conferences, and other situations when you’d like to communicate verbally with more than a few people at once, or save an audio record of your conversation. Audio chats require a built-in microphone or an external mic connected to the audio input port of your computer. If a telephone or camera icon appears beside a name in your buddy list, it means they too have the software and hardware needed for an audio chat. (A “stacked” telephone or camera icon indicates that your buddy’s computer has enough power to participate in a multiple-person chat.) To start an audio chat, open iChat and select the buddy or buddies you want to chat with. To choose multiple buddies, hold down the Command key as you click on their names. Then click on the telephone icon at the bottom of your buddy list, or select Invite to Audio Chat under the Buddies menu. When they receive your invitation, your buddies simply click the Accept button to join the audio chat. All audio chat participants are listed in the chat window along with their buddy pictures. Each participant also has an individual sound level meter, which makes it easier to tell who is talking. To enable recording in an audio iChat, select Record Chat under the Video menu. A message is sent to all participants asking for their permission to record the chat. To grant audio recording rights for this chat, your buddies click on the Allow button. When participants want to leave the chat, they just close the chat window. Recording stops when the person who initiated the recording exits the chat. Recorded audio chats are saved by default in the iChats folder in your user’s Documents folder. You can change this default location under the General tab of iChat Preferences, and search for saved chats by date or title using Spotlight. You can also play your saved audio (and video) iChats in iTunes.

• See Which Groups Are In Address Book:
• Adding Automation Through Folder Actions
• Adding a Photo as Your Window Background

See Which Groups Are In Address Book: Posted: 09 Sep 2009 02:37 AM PDT If you have a contact that appears in more than one Group, you can instantly see which of your Groups this individual appears in by simply clicking on his or her contact and holding the Option key. When you do this, every Group that they appear within will become highlighted. This is handy if you want to clean up your Groups by deleting extra instances of people who appear in multiple Groups.

Adding Automation Through Folder Actions Posted: 09 Sep 2009 02:31 AM PDT This is a simple AppleScript (think of an AppleScript as a built-in automation for your Mac, just like Photoshop actions add automation to Adobe Photoshop). Mac OS X includes some cool sample scripts (actions), or you can download about a bazillion from the Web for free. To assign a script to a folder, Control-click on that folder and choose Configure Folder Actions from the contextual menu that appears. This brings up the Folder Actions Setup dialog, where you toggle various scripts assigned to folders on and off, or even edit scripts (if you know how to write AppleScripts). Click the plus sign (+) button at the bottom left of the dialog to add your folder to the list (this actually brings up a standard Open dialog showing your folder, so click on your folder in the dialog and click Open). Once you do this, a window will pop down with a list of built-in sample scripts you can assign to this folder, and their names give a cryptic description of what they do. Pick the one that sounds like what you want to do (to replicate my Drop Box warning, choose “add — new item alert .scpt”) and click the Attach button (you’ll see your newly assigned script appear in the column on the right of the dialog).. Now click the Enable Folder Actions checkbox at the top-left corner of the dialog.This is a global on/off switch, so any folder to which you’ve attached scripts is now “activated.” By the way, once you’ve applied actions to a folder, you can turn Folder Actions on or off globally by Control-clicking on any folder and choosing Enable Folder Actions or Disable Folder Actions from the contextual menu.

Adding a Photo as Your Window Background Posted: 09 Sep 2009 02:25 AM PDT As long as your Finder window is in icon view, you can add a photo as its background. You do this by going under the View menu, under show View Options, and in the background section (at the bottom of the dialog) choose Picture. Click on the select button and the standard Open dialog will appear in which you can choose the image you’d like to appear as the background of your window. Click OK and that image will appear. Note: This works only when viewing the window in icon view. if you change to list view, the image will no longer be visible.

Michelle,

 

One problem I have with the net books that have Air cards built in, is how the Cell companies charge.

Most carriers charge double for the same data on an air card over a smart phone.

AT&T has a 5GB cap on Net Book/ notebook data, but have an unlimited usage plan for smartphones.

More and more people are switching to simple pre-paid plans because of the exorbitant prices of the contract plans.

Unless you rely wifi for net access, netbooks can be either limited, expensive or both.

Paul

Unless you rely wifi for net access, netbooks can be either limited, expensive or both.

I remember just a few years ago when texting which takes up a tiny amount of bandwidth was about a dime per text.

Now because it’s wildly popular, the price has risen to 25-30 cents per text.

This at a time when all carriers have greatly expanded their bandwidth.

I remember when Accu-Chek came out with the 1^st at home Glucose monitor for diabetics.

Their business model was to “give” you the $200 monitor free.

But to use it you had to use these little strips. The strips cost them at that time about a nickel a piece to manufacture.

They sold for around a dollar per. Now there are about a dozen companies making home glucose monitors.

They all give you the monitor and charge about a buck a piece for the test strips. Strips that cost around a dime to make.

 Something to think about when you get your next “free” upgrade.

 

Paul
