iPhone Insanity



Posted by: Dave Bateman
email, IPhone

IPhone, virtual keyboard

A few years back I was walking through the airport when out of the corner of my eye I saw an odd device for sale in one of those overpriced airport gadget stores. It was a little cube that projected a keyboard on to a desk. If I recall correctly, it was a Palm store and the device could be paired...

The next time you use your computer, you may want to make sure your cell phone isn't near you. It seems that someone at Georgia Tech had too much time on their hands and figured out how to use a Smartphone to figure out what keys you are pressing on a nearby keyboard. One would assume that this is...

As I have written in the past, I have an iPhone and I am very happy with it. But today I stumbled across a phone that makes the iPhone look like a rock. I immediately decided that I had found my next phone. This thing is amazing. It has a modular bluetooth headset that doubles as a "mouse," a built...

It's finally here. We all knew it would happen we just didn't know when. The other night I noticed that my iPhone wanted to update a few applications. I always like to see what the updates are before I install them so I started to check them out. When I got to Skype, the update said that it now...

I'll admit it, not many things really impress me anymore. I guess living in this day and age I pretty much expect technology to advance so fast that when some thing new comes out, I just take it in stride.

IM, IPhone, Meebo

Over the past couple of years something happened to the way I manage projects. In the past, the main form of communication was email. While email still plays an important part, I find instant messaging playing a larger role each day. While it can never replace email, it succeeds where email fails....

About a week ago I was on the road, but still had to attend a number of  Webex meetings. One day I realized that it was just about time for a WebEx call to start and I was nowhere near a PC. If you use WebEx at all, you know you can only dial in. But, for this particular call, I needed to be able...
