If you’re interested to be one of the few scratching the impulse-buy-itch with a cellphone dongle, hit that source link to sign up. For the rest of ya, there’s an explanatory video after the break.

This really opens up the opportunities.

Its been easy to pay by Paypal for quite some time now using the Paypal app but receiving money from people who don’t have paypal acocunts can be amazing for Contractors or web specialist.

Before Windows Phone 7 was even an embryo of a concept, Windows Mobile was king: It powered nearly half of smartphones in use, a led the industry in features. Then, in 2007, things started to go wrong. Very, very wrong.

Silicon Alley Insider has charted Windows Mobile’s platform shar

Windows Phone 7 ad : False Advertisement

Microsoft seems to have completely given up on their Windows Mobile 6.x phones.
Strange it took them so long, i threw one out of a Window shortly after using it.

Windows Phone 7 comes with adverts mocking the iPhone, but then instead of showing decent functionality is shows projected images as show in the promotional video.

I won’t bore you with the video, as it looks like there won’t even be a landscape keyboard… but here’s a screenshot of the Youtube video.

Had Windows Phone 7 actually brought out such technology i might consider it as a second device.

Personally having had to struggle with many people’s requests to setup a Windows mobile in a corporate environment I will say far away from it myself and let others struggle.

Ps: most of the time the answer to setting up their Windows Mobile, in a Windows corporate environment, after hours of research came down to

“Sorry it can’t be done, Microsoft windows mobile doesn’t support X, Y and Z” to which i would get the response “Mhmm, i should have bought an iPhone shouldn’t I”

No doubt Apple is leery of having its iPhone OS so easily and frequently hacked (its notoriously weak security being one of the many reasons the iPhone has yet to really take off in the corporate world), but Cupertino’s latest security precaution isn’t likely to win any favor. Just days after a scrappy young iPhone hacked discovered an unlock exploit for OS 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01, Sherif Hashim received an ominous message on his iPhone after attempting to log into iTunes: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.

I don’t quite agree with the statement that the iPhone is insecure… and the fact that Apple is able to remotely determine that the phone was hacked is quite impressive.
Possibly it sends a MD5 hash of the original OS? Don’t know, but definitely an option.

For now, If you are on OS 3.1.3 just wait a few weeks before jailbreaking, or don’t jailbreak at all.

Why won’t you want to jailbreak:

Considering that I’ve written posts about WHY you want to jailbreak this might sound like me backtracking, but it isn’t.

Quite a few things have changed:

1) You can legally unlock your iPhone. Just call up your service provider, or visit their website, or view a post on iPhone tutorial videos which shows you how.

2) The amount of Good Quality Apps available for Standard iPhones are now more than ever, where previously this functionalities were only in non-official apps

3)The free Video recording Apps which are nore officially available on the Appstore for older iPhones also lessen the need to jailbreak.

4) Lastly, some people just like to use the main features of the iPhone. jailbreaking ISN’T for everyone. (It was never intended to be)

Keynote Editing in Action on the iPad

by Jeff Carlson

At Apple’s media event introducing the iPad (see Hands-on Impressions of the iPad, 29 January 2010), Glenn Fleishman and I wanted to know what the experience of creating a Keynote presentation would be like. Inspired by a blog post from Fraser Speirs (“iPad Fallacy #1: ‘It’s not for content creation’“), I created a short video of Glenn manipulating objects (resizing, repositioning, rotating) and activating the annotation controls (including a laser pointer) in Keynote’s presentation mode. (You can also click the video to view a high-definition version at YouTube.)

This video from Tidbits.com really shows how easy Creating content on the iPad will be – Can’t wait.
