8 Key Palm Pre Features

A far cry from Palm’s glory days in the PDA space the Palm Pre enters the smart phone market with much anticipation and is expected to return some respectability to a company that has struggled for several years.

However, let’s not dwell on the past and focus on what the Palm Pre brings to market:

Palm Pre

1.    It’s beautiful and it comes with a full slide out Qwerty Keyboard with 3.1” touch screen and 320×480 resolution.

2.    The Palm Pre works as a phone when slid open or closed so the ergonomic design is even more appreciated.

3.    Connected Calendars & Contacts allow you to bring multiple calendars into one logical view of your appointments, so contacts with information scattered across multiple sources (Gmail, Facebook, etc.) are all grouped together.

4.    Universal Search, as the name implies, searches all of your contacts, applications and Google or Wikipedia for that matter to narrow down results as you type and intelligently present the results to fit your search.

Is the New BlackBerry Storm Better than the iPhone ?

Posted on April 20th, 2009Paul Peic

stormShould We Call the Blackberry Storm the iPhone Killer? idon’t think so

Blackberry’s first touchscreen smartphone… well sort of. If you are hoping that the touchscreen is similar to the iPhone, you will be disappointed. At first glance this phone looks and feels like it could give the iPhone a run for its money. There are many flaws starting with the operating system. It does not work well with the touchscreen and there is a noticeable lag when switching applications. Secondly the clickable touchscreen is not as easy to use making it more of a chore than a time saver. Read the rest of this entry »

Android over the iPhone

Posted on April 19th, 2009Paul Peic

Should you consider an Android Phone over the iPhone

Along  with all the other reasons including New Age Apps, Open Source OS and an ever growing list of cool new phones designed specifically for the Android OS; another reason why Android’s reach is growing stronger in the Market place is that it is one of the few handful OSs which will allow its Canadian Users to make free Voice-Over-Internet phone calls. Yes you understood this correctly … the iPhone though it supports a Skype app worldwide, will not allow its Canadian Users to make VoIP phone calls to other VoIP Users via the wireless WAN.   Read the rest of this entry »

If someone were to ask what the greatest invention of the 21st Century would be, I would respond, “the iPhone. Hands down.” What other device or invention lets you have unlimited access to boundless information in the palm of your hand? Sure there are other hand held devices that claim to do what the iPhone does, but none can compare to the ease of use and intelligent user interface. The touch screen is so precise, you are able to click on links that are as small as a pin head. Read the rest of this entry »

imagesThe wireless spectrum has put pressure on Canada’s Wireless Big Three – Rogers, Telus and Bell. New national entrants such as DAVE and Globalive will be up and running by the end of this year, promising more competition to an industry that has been dominated by this oligopoly for many years.

How to Play Your iPhone Music from the Home Screen 

There is a way to listen to music on the iPhone without having to unlock the phone with the slider bar. Most people stumble on this feature by accident.

When the iPhone is locked, you can access controls to listen to your music by double clicking the home button. A pop up window appears with a triangle for play, and both a rewind and fast forward icon. This saves time by allowing you to listening to your music without having to go through unlocking the phone with the slider bar, pressing iPod, selecting a song and then pressing Play. The only downfall is that it will only play the Playlist or Album that was playing before you locked the phone. Read the rest of this entry »
