Phenom Phone Watch

Friday, May 15th, 2009

What is so special about combining a phone and a watch? Most phones out there also have watches but the Phenom Phone Watch is worth taking a closer look at.
The watches industry is truly something. Just when you think that you heard about them all another one appears. This was exactly the case with this Phenom Phone Watch. There are a lot of similar gadgets on the market but this one stands out a little, especially due to the design. It makes you want to take a closer look.
The Phenom Phone Watch does not offer many fascinating features. It comes with a touch-screen display, bluetooth, radio, mp3, wav, mp4, gif, jpg and midi support, a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and other features you would expect from a basic mobile phone. On the whole we can say that this gadget is a lot more than others on the market but the biggest problem still remains: why would you need a mobile phone watch when you can have a watch and a mobile phone?

Advantages of wide screen monitors

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

What are the advantages of wide screen monitors for a web developer?

1) You can see the entire subject line in email messages.
2) In Visual Studio, you can see an entire line of code without scrolling to the right.
3) In Windows Explorer you can easily see long file names, file sizes, file types, and the date modified. You can even add more columns as there is plenty of room for more information. You have enough space to see the time-line, numerous palettes, and your composition window at its full width.

If your video card supports dual monitors, add a wide screen monitors to you workspace will make it a lot easier to multitask.

iPhone or BlackBerry

Monday, May 11th, 2009

BlackBerry devices were the most popular in the world of corporate messaging until recently and we all know why. The iPhone with its all-in-one functionality and sleek design is conquering the world. The other companies are feeling the heat and are trying to match the competition, let it be design or functionality. BlackBerry is no different. It’s famous for its push emailing and web browsing capabilities but was never considered to be sleek or stylish. Their latest product BlackBerry Bold has attracted attention as a smarter, sleeker BlackBerry with stainless steel rim around the case and flush-fitting screen. It even looks a bit like an iPhone!
However, mere looks alone are not enough to compete with the iPhone. RIM has also given the user interface a makeover on the new BlackBerry OS 4.6. Despite it’s 3G support and many new features such as monochromatic icons, support for recent web standards (CSS 2.1, HTML 4.01 and JavaScript 1.5, to name three) and desktop-like web browsing experience; it looks like that Bold couldn’t match the web browsing performance of iPhone. While people are crying over iPhone 3G’s low 3G performance, I wonder how users will take this performance of BlackBerry Bold.
