Big news for the mobile industry as mega-company Microsoft starts their press conference on Windows Phone 7. It is believed the company will show hardware from companies such as HTC, Samsung and LG. There are reports that details of the phones have already been leaked on the Windows Phone 7 website.
The new operating system has already been shown off earlier this year to a positive reception from the technology industry. Microsoft is hoping for their operating system to become the next big thing, overtaking the current top operating systems Android and iOS.
Hi Many of you may know of Apple's MobileMe service. It has many features such as bookmark syncing, calendar syncing, online space and finding your lost iPhone. Now a MobileMe subscription costs around AU$119. It is completely ridiculous as I have found a way to easily get almost every feature for free and the few that cost, very cheaply.
iPhone Syncing
This feature is very easy. The first step is to make a Gmail account.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account...>Microsoft Exchange Then just plug in your email address and password. Your can ignore the domain. On the next screen, input the following settings:
Server: m.google.com Domain: Leave this blank Username: your email address
Then ensure Mail, Contacts and Calendars are on. When you press Done, press Keep on my iPhone. This should sync all your contacts, emails and calander information to your iPhone. If it does not work, feel free to email me at ravingsoftechnogeek@gmail.com. Lastly, in your Gmail, go into settings and then toForwarding and POP/IMAP. Go down to "2. When messages are accessed with POP" and set it to "keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox".
I will continue Mac syncing, Windows syncing and Find my iPhone in the next few posts.
Well I said I would do this review well over two months ago but finally here it is. Office 2010 was released the other day without anyone really noticing. I had already made this video before it was released but I had some encoding troubles. The clicking sounds are because I had the wrong setting on the screen recorder program and it was supposed to be in HD but something went wrong there as well. Oh well. The actual programs are wonderful - it is the best version of Office by a mile.
Hi
I haven't been posting because I have been ridiculously busy but I should start regularly again soon. Ok. A while ago there were rumors about the HP slate, saying due to unforeseen problems with Windows 7, the slate project has been permanently cancelled. I didn't post on this at the time because I was in so much denial I just could not accept it. Then more news came out saying HP had bought Palm, a company we do not hear much of here in the land of Aus. If you didn't know they make phones, and along with those phones, mobile operating systems. This has caused much questioning over whether the HP slate will, a, ever be released, and b, if it is released, will it run a full version of Windows 7 or a mystical new mobile OS.
I will give my opinion on both of those matters. A - Will the HP slate ever be released. I think it most definitely will be in some from or another. They have so much support from all the Apple haters out there, they would sell millions.
B- Will it run a full version of Windows 7. I'm not too sure about this one. I think it will still run at leased a version of Windows 7. Maybe a highly edited edition of it. I think that is maybe where the mobile OS company comes in. Seriously though. I have no idea. And about the mobile OS company, I think they bought that just to get a step up into the mobile business.
I just thought since you guys seemed to like my previous HP Slate post, I would update you.
I will leave you on an unrelated note. This video is just plain out awesome:)
Thanks for reading
