The Blackberry iPhone .. I mean 'Storm'

Love is a many splendored thing. How else could you explain the way cell-phone companies can say "I envy and desire you" with their eyes while throwing darts at pictures of the iPhone?

As proof, take the latest "iPhone killer" to emerge from RIM. Hot on the heels of the Googlephone,  the Blackberry Storm is Research in Motion's  strike at Cupertino, California-based Apple and a sleek little number at that. Of course Crackberry fans have been ablaze with desire and this feature in Time Magazine did nothing to quench their gadget-lust.

Not that it's a bad looking phone: on the contrary, it is sleek and boasts some innovative features (the 'clickable screen' is very cool for openers, and there are others). Then there is RIM's ability to deliver the goods, which is legendary. Whether you use 'push' e-mail of the Microsoft Exchange variety or pop3 such as Hotmail, Gmail, etc., Blackberry will most likely get it to you faster than any other device, and sends replies without missing a beat thanks to RIM's proprietary network. Even as a hard-core iPhone fan I must admit that the AT&T network is no substitute for Blackberry's flawless delivery system.

So shine on you crazy diamond. Although we suspect that rumors of the iPhone's demise are greatly exaggerated, the Storm is still a damn cool phone.

1ère raison: je ne possède pas de PDA,

2ème raison: je ne possède pas de forfait adéquate pour naviguer de mon mobile,

3ème raison: Internet est plus simple d'accès via nos bons vieux PC's

Mais en faite toutes les grandes enseignes en possèdent un comme par exemple bmw.mobi, 875 000 noms de domaine en .mobi ont été enregistrés depuis 2006.

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, c'est un site réservé à l'internet mobile car il est adapté à la taille des écrans mais aussi au faite que l'utilisateur ne possèdent pas de clavier et souris. Il est bien sûr visible via le net mais à dimension mobile phone.

Pourquoi je vous en parle vous me direz....

Parce que il s'agit de mon projet tuteuré d'où l'intérêt de ce post car je recherche des réactions de personnes qui ont pu en créer, des tutoriels....

In fact, a lot of the hits I get are from people googling things about celebrities and their breasts or infant feeding habits.  I am pretty sure that some of them aren't innocent breastfeeding queries, shall we say ("Kate Garraway nips", for heavens sake!), but a lot are - you can tell by the way they're phrased.  One recently was "do celebrities feed their babies formula?" - if you search that phrase, this site is the second listed on google.

Some are funny - I went through a phase of getting hits from people searching something about women breastfeeding piglets (I had made an obscure reference to James Herriot and a piglet in an article) and there are some people who want to know about Jeni Barnett nude or Vanessa Feltz breastfeeding - more than you might imagine, in fact!

I also have been getting lots - really lots - of hits from people searching problems to do with infant formula - things about babies having rashes or tummy aches after formula, allergic reactions to formula, etc.

But some search terms are heartbreaking and I wish I could reach out and hug the person searching the internet - things like "guilt over not being able to breastfeed," "I don't enjoy breastfeeding" and the title of this post - "Why is breastfeeding hard?"  And that got me thinking.  Why is it hard?  Or is it just that feeding a baby formula is physically "easy" by comparison (from the point of view of there's no chance it'll make you bleed, unless you cut yourself opening the tub, I guess!)?

But is it easy, really?  The enormous number of hits I get from people who are clearly struggling with guilty feelings about not breastfeeding - are they finding formula-feeding "easy"?  One of the oft-touted phrases of early motherhood is "Don't let anyone make you feel guilty", but I would suggest that nobody "makes" you feel guilty when you find yourself doing something you don't want to do - it's largely an internal process.  So why not talk about it?  Why does it have to be hidden, like a shameful secret?  I'm not suggesting people ought to feel guilty, far from it.  But if you do feel guilty, why not explore those feelings, work out why you feel guilty, talk about how you'd like things to have gone, get it all out in the open?  It seems there's a conspiracy of silence around this issue which means women grieve in private (for fear being judged?), get angry when the subject comes up and often feel they need to perpetuate the myth that you mustn't feel guilty when they're aching with pain themselves.

There's an excellent website, Mobi (Mothers Overcoming Breastfeeding Issues) which addresses a lot of this.  It was set up "for mothers who grieved their unsuccessful breastfeeding relationships. They were surprised and comforted to find other mothers had similar experiences. Their mutual support enabled some mothers to find solutions or closure."

And to all of you who wind up here feeling awful, I do hope you leave feeling a little bit better.  Be kind to yourself - you're doing good.

L'articolo invece, demolisce questo fiorente mercato per una serie di
punti che vi ivito a leggere.

Una mia ulteriore considerazione: se il wifi (presente in TUTTI i pc
portatili ogg) e' standard in tutto il mondo , il 3G/UMTS/HSDPA e' una
tecnologia presente in solo un centinao di paesi, e per di piu' non
performante come in Italia.
Parlavo ieri con un amico belga, che mi diceva che le loro reti 3g
sono ancora mooolto lente e nonparagonabili all'adsl. Lo saranno in
futuro.

Il motivo per cui in Italia invece esiste e funziona 3g/hsdpa e' che
e' un ottimo sostituto delle reti adsl, che sono in mano a pochi, o megliopochissimi attori.

A Face For Radio

Vintage TV show You Are There represented early television's attempt to evoke a live event by recreating a historical one. Kind of like reporting or blogging. As a TV show however, it was the kind of yawner that could only have aired at a time when the medium was desperate for content and network executives reasoned that any show that had enjoyed success on the radio couldn’t miss on TV. So what's that got to do with NextFest 2008? Let me explain.

Mr. Micro Meet Mr. Blog

When I got the invitation to hear Wired Editor in Chief Chris Anderson talk about his book Free! I planned to blog the experience as I had the ABA TechShow and other events over the past few years.

But when I arrived at NextFest something told me this was going to be different. Maybe it was the pervasive use of blue lights or the elegant feng shui of the exhibits; maybe I had an epiphany wedged in the front row of the audience between one lady holding a video-camera over my head and another balancing a pocket recorder between thumb and forefinger inches from my face. Whatever the reason, I knew that I had to take evasive action. My answer: iPhone + Twitterphone. You can see the results in this companion post or choose to follow me on Twitter.

So...What's The Connection?

As Anderson noted in his presentation, The Future of Free (which is really just his spin on Joseph Schumpeter's theory of “creative destruction”), there are a number of forces that link new ideas and new media, from You Are There in the early days of television to Twitter on the Internet. They are:

• Fear of scarcity brings out radically different behaviors than hopes of abundance
• The latter inevitably leads to waste - the good kind that encourages trial-and-error
• Where the cost of failure is virtually zero, experimentation will flourish
• Where people are trying new things all the time, at least 1 good idea is bound to assert itself
• If the attempt is a bust, the cycle can quickly restart thanks to low barriers and costs

In the end, You Are There wasn't so much a TV show as a radio program retrofitted for the new medium. It wasn't until mass adoption of TV-sets and the ubiquity of free programming a decade later that broadcasters began understanding that they could afford to fail and not lose their audience. The experience lead TV in directions that its inventors could never have foreseen.

The Future of Free! Is The Future of the Internet

The Internet is our generation’s zero-cost distribution system; our TV. Twitter itself is a perfect example of how the Internet has lead to waste – the wrong and right kinds. So what if Twitter and its clones turn out to be spectacular failures? It doesn't matter; the eco-system created by the Internet is still at work so long as thousands of failures lead to 1 good idea. After all, that's what the future of free is all about.

Feast your eyes on the first cell-phone to have goodies like Gmail, Search, Calendar, and more built in from the get-go via the innovative and, until now, secretive Android mobile OS. The so-called Google Phone has been a myth for as long as the iPhone (dubbed the "Jesus Phone" by Apple fans); even true believers had to wonder if the Google Phone would ever materials. But the Google faithful were duly rewarded last month with the release of Chrome  and this month, the Google Phone.

Far from being a myth, the very real T-Mobile G1 boasts a gaggle of Google applications baked right in, and is the first cell-phone to use a truly open operating system built by a consortium. The upshot is that in theory developers could be popping out applications for the device in no time. Looking further into the future, in a year users should be able to make their Android-powered phones do pretty much anything from turning on the lights at home remotely to automatically letting contacts know they will be late to a meeting based on their GPS-determined position. It's a brave new world, campers!

Of course the faithful have heard that one before ... but hope springs eternal. I mean, they did come out with a phone, and last month a browser right? How badly could they blow this golden opportunity? Do you really want to know the answer? I didn't think so.

Una grande notizia per noi.

competes with CDs......

Like we didn't see this coming....

Never understood why SanDisk waited so long.  Flash-cards with pre-loaded info has been a marketing tool most have come to understand.  Considering the growth and expansion of mobile devises over the pre-dated "Notebook" is was only a matter of time before this would take hold.

About a year ago we here experimented with some OEM pre-loaded cards.  A novel marketing idea at the time that served it purpose over the 07' holiday season but never took hold.  Flash-card has one big advantage over a CD, it is re-useable. 

Does this really spell the end of CDs, doubt it.  Heck it took over 6 years to kill the floppy and that still makes an appearance no and then.

Marketing people need a new approach.  And the fastest way to get connected with any audience these days is through their phone.   Drop us aline would like hear your commentary on this...

Explaining Technology and Terminology

eInk Technology

http://www.eink.com/

• eInk is not back lit.
• eInk devices are not as harsh on your eyes as LCD displays.
• eInk devices cannot be read in the dark.
• eInk devices have no active lighting therefore draw less battery power and require less frequent charging than LCD displays.
• There is a few second delay between page turns (known as refresh rate).

Electronic ink is a proprietary material that is processed into a film for integration into electronic displays. Although revolutionary in concept, electronic ink is a straightforward fusion of chemistry, physics and electronics to create this new material. The principal components of electronic ink are millions of tiny microcapsules, about the diameter of a human hair. In one incarnation, each microcapsule contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule where they become visible to the user. This makes the surface appear white at that spot. At the same time, an opposite electric field pulls the black particles to the bottom of the microcapsules where they are hidden. By reversing this process, the black particles appear at the top of the capsule, which now makes the surface appear dark at that spot.

To form an E Ink electronic display, the ink is printed onto a sheet of plastic film that is laminated to a layer of circuitry. The circuitry forms a pattern of pixels that can then be controlled by a display driver. These microcapsules are suspended in a liquid "carrier medium" allowing them to be printed using existing screen printing processes onto virtually any surface, including glass, plastic, fabric and even paper. Ultimately electronic ink will permit most any surface to become a display, bringing information out of the confines of traditional devices and into the world around us.

LCD Technology

• LCD is backlit so you can read it in the dark.
• LCD devices draw more battery power so require more frequent recharging.
• Most mobile phones and computer monitors use LCD.
• Over extended periods of use, LCD can cause eye strain.

Screen size

• Most reading devices measure the screen diagonally (same as for TV)
• Touch screen devices allow you to highlight text, copy and paste text, turn pages using the touch screen and other nifty novelties.

Multimedia Cards

• Many devices are fitted with removable multimedia card slots. This means that you can expand the memory of the device and fit more books in your library.
• Reading from memory card may slow your refresh rate down slightly.
• Normal SD cards only go up to 2GB, whereas HD SD cards currently go up to 16GB. I have a 2GB SD card in all my devices and this fits over 700 eBooks with ease.

Connectivity

• Most devices come with USB cables to connect to your computer for synchronising your device and downloading files. I have found this to be the easiest method of transfer.
• Some devices come with Bluetooth technology which can be ‘paired’ to your computer to download files wirelessly.
• Some devices come with WiFi 802.11b technology, which means the device, can theoretically connect to the internet. Be aware that you cannot ‘surf’ the internet on many eReading devices so check manufacturer’s web sites.
• PDA devices with WiFi 802.11b can usually be used to surf the internet, send and receive emails and download books directly from the internet.

PDA devices

• A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a handheld computer, also known as small or palmtop computers.
• Newer PDAs also have both color screens and audio capabilities, enabling them to be used as mobile phones (smartphones), web browsers, or portable media players.
• Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks (WWANs).
• Many PDAs employ touch screen technology.
• Currently, a typical PDA has a touch screen for entering data, a memory card slot for data storage and at least one of the following for connectivity: IrDA, Bluetooth and/or WiFi.
• However, many PDAs (typically those used primarily as telephones) may not have a touch screen, using softkeys, a directional pad and either the numeric keypad or a thumb keyboard for input.
• Some PDA’s have multimedia cards to expand storage capacity. Check manufacturer’s web sites for specific details.
• PDA screens are generally smaller with the largest being 4” (I have a  4” screen on my HP IPAQ Enterprise 210/212 and am not aware of any bigger ones).
• PDA Operating Systems The currently major PDA operating systems are:
  • Palm OS - owned by PalmSource
  • Windows Mobile Professional and Classic for use on Pocket PCs, (based on the Windows CE kernel) - owned by Microsoft
  • iPhone OS - owned by Apple Inc.
  • BlackBerry OS - owned by Research In Motion
• Many operating systems based on the Linux kernel - free (not owned by any company) These include
  • Familiar (comes in three flavours: GPE, Opie and barebone)
  • OpenZaurus (for Zaurus PDAs)
  • Ångström, a descendent of OpenZaurus
• Intimate (for PDAs with an exceedingly large amount of memory)
• Symbian OS (formerly EPOC) owned by Motorola, Panasonic, Nokia, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson

Choosing the right Software to read eBooks on your PDA.

• I have found that MobiPocket is the best e reader software to download (free) to your PDA or mobile Phone. It comes with heaps of features, can be customised, and is simple to use.
• Many PDA’s and Phones can read PDF using clearvu PDF or similar software.
• Check manufacturer’s specifications for other PDA/Phone software.

A few months back we had the opportunity to sell a few of our .mobi domain names to a company called Smartphone SP (Pty) Ltd), one those names was MyCellphone.mobi. Prior to to that our first sale to the company was Mymobile.mobi for $15,500 back in January. Not all of our sales are made public but I wanted to post about this because .mobi is such a debate with domainers and also felt that this would make a great first post to my new blog.

Many questions arise when it comes to .mobi names such as, are they worth anything? Will they be worth anything in the future? Will the iphone make the .mobi obsolete? I,m not certain and don't put to much time into it as I think we will not know for certain for another 2 years. What I do believe is that .com will always be number 1.

I will take my profit on any .mobi and will reinvest the rest in whatever I feel will get me the greatest return which is most likely .com. I do have plans to test and develop some of my insurance related .mobi names that I feel could do very well in the future.

On the other side of this .mobi conversation, if your a big domain owner such as Rick Schwartz or Michael Berkens owning the .mobi extension is probably a good idea just in case it goes big. It's such a small investment to them in relation to what they own, for other domainers it may not be the best idea to put all your eggs into one extension.

We will announce another 5 figure .mobi sale in the coming weeks.
