			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got an interesting call from Blackberry support they wanted to inform me of the new updates. I don&#8217;t use a Blackberry currently so I was a little confused why the called me and it was because I have written a few post about Blackberry in the past. I told the representative that I did buy a Blackberry Playbook recently and wanted to know about the update that is coming out and if it will bring the Android Market to the Playbook. I was told yes it will have the ability to use Android application but not all the applications at the beginning. Each application has to go through a approval with Blackberry before being allowed on the Blackberry Playbook. I ask about the camera on the Playbook because I was very upset to find out that the only video conference application was from Playbook to Playbook only. I was hoping Skype would work with the new update but it will not at the beginning until Microsoft which owns Skype and Blackberry work out the details. The Blackberry representative did tell me he uses Real Portal to Video chat with someone using a Apple iPad now.<br />
The Blackberry Bold and the Torch will get an update that will allow Near Field Communications, Wifi calling and Mobile Hotspot capabilities. This update will first be available for Verizon Wireless and Sprint Blackberry devices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just read an article on 3 tablets, it breaks down the difference between the different tablets with price points from 200 dollars to 500 dollars. The 3 tablets in this article do not subscribe to any cellular services. They all need WiFi to access the Internet for browsing, downloading books, applications and any streaming media.</p>
<p>I use the Motorola Xoom which is a LTE 4G tablet on Verizon Wireless. My tablet does what the Nook, Kindle Fire and iPad do and has its own built in service. I can use my tablet anywhere on the Verizon Wireless Network and it has its own built in hotspot that I can allow up to 5 other WiFi enabled devices connect to the Internet. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stupid move for Blackberry they specialize in security and privacy. Now this shows everyone nothing is private or secure even on the Blackberry devices.<br />
I had praised Blackberry months ago when they would not let other countries bully them into sharing information. These countries are in the middle east and they wanted to monitor everything sent and received by Blackberry users.<br />
Blackberry sales are on the decline and the only thing they have above the rest of the pack like Android, Apple and Windows is the secure system they have, now it seems its not so secure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turn your Smartphone off once a day and pull the battery out once a week for best performance. If you are like me and use many applications daily you should do the recommended procedure above. This will stop unnecessary applications from running in the background and prolong battery life daily.</p>
<p>Some people like using a task manager application to stop applications from running but these task killer app use more memory and power than they save. Android phones with 2.1 or newer software have a built in task killer and adding a task killer defeats the purpose.</p>
<p>Yesterday I had a client complain his battery died after a few hours. After examining his HTC Incredible 2 I realized he had downloaded a battery saver application and that was the culprit. That app ate up 72% of his battery so we deleted the app and problemsolved was solved.</p>
<p>The older versions of Android operating systems did require a task killer but Android learned from this and corrected the issue with later updates and all new Android phones are already equipped with battery saver and app killer options.</p>
<p>Read this article below from Motorola concerning turning your phone off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve decided to get a tablet PC, but you don&#8217;t know how to go about choosing the right solution for your needs. Here are a few tips that might help in your decision.</p>
<p>1. First and foremost which is the hardest decision&#8230;.which operating system do I want to go with? Do I want to go with a chosen leader for ease of use like the Apple iPad? Do I want to have the freedom to add widgets withing Android Honeycomb? Or are you still addicted to your BlackBerry (in an Apple and Android World) that you want to continue the legacy with a BlackBerryPlaybook? This isn&#8217;t the easiest of decisions. The last quarter of this year we will see an influx of Tablet makers and this is one decision that cannot be judged by price and specs. Is it for social networking, remote access to your server, or just looking for an easy way to access your company mail on the go.</p>
<p>2. Next&#8230;this decision doesn&#8217;t get much easier. Which screen size should I choose? They typically range from the small 7 inch screen to the large 13.3 inch screen. Remember, that bigger isn&#8217;t always better or more expensive. Unlike desktop monitors, tablet monitors are meant to be small and handy to carry anywhere. Choose a screen that you are comfortable with, but remember sometimes the bigger they are the shorter the battery life will be!  </p>
<p>3. What kind of performance are you looking for? Single core processor? Dual core processor or does it even matter? With a world of tablets coming to the table performance doesn&#8217;t always = price. The best &#8220;bang for your buck&#8221; might be in the middle of the road so avoid the most expensive tablets (unless you have money to burn) and check the consumer reviews of the models you have in your sights.</p>
<p>4. Are you looking for expandability? Determining what type of ports might actually determine which operating system you choose. Typical ports include Type I and II PC card slots, SD card reader, USB ports, VGA port, docking connector, microphone jack, and headphone jack, but Apple limits you to only the microphone jack so expandability is what your looking for than an Android tablet might be what your looking for. Take into account what you might be doing on this tablet in a year to make a better informed decision.  5. Battery life is more important than you may think! Here is a great Wiki that shows a complete comparison of the available models out there with their run times. Once you find a style and OS of your future tablet, make sure it meets your demands for battery life. </p>
<p>The Mobilewiseguy will help guide you with all the different choices and features so contact me.</p>

<p>The new Android phone by Casio is a military spec smartphone that is shock resistant and water resistant. That is great feature for construction workers and outdoors men but lets get one thing straight the phone is not water proof and the phone is not indestructible the phone is a lot more rugged than all the other Android phones on Verizon Wireless. The picture above is a Commando with a crack screen that was supposedly dropped from a 4 foot high fall.<br />
On the <a href="http://www.casiogzone.com/commando">Casio&#8217;s website </a>they claim during testing the phone was dropped from 4 feet 26 times during testing. I guess this phone had a unlucky 27th fall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What does this mean, what can this union provide. Well I have a opinion on what this means. When I saw the Skype acquired <a href="http://qik.com/mobilewiseguy">Qik</a> I realized right away that&#8217;s how Skype was going to integrate video conferencing with computers and mobile devices.Qik&#8217;s technology worked great to stream video from mobile phones to the web live so that would be a great fit for Skype. Now Microsoft wants Windows to be the main platform used for all devices to do video conferencing so what better to buy the best company to bring that all together Skype.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only choice for the Apple iPhone with data is the $29.99 unlimited data. Verizon Wireless is ending the $15 150MB data package on 1/30/11 and the only choice for Smartphones will be the unlimited package.  Verizon will have a new package for simple phones and that will be $10 for 75MB or the simple phones can choose the $29.99 unlimited data package.</p>
<p>Smartphones on Verizon will only have the $29.99 option for data. The introduction of the Apple iPhone was probably a significant factor on this decision.  </p>
<p>That $15 150 MB data package was great for most Blackberry users.  If you want to save money on your monthly bill because you don&#8217;t use much data, change your plan before 1/30/11 and that plan will be grandfather in. I would recommend any Blackberry user to check there data usage and change now.</p>
<p>There is also another great deal being lost because of this data change. The Palm Pixi can add the $15 data package and that also includes 5 GB of hot spot data on the Palm Pixi. </p>
<p>Get the Palm Pixi now! </p>
<p>I wonder if you get a smartphone before the $15 data package ends on 1/30/11 and switch to the Apple iPhone within the 14 day exchange policy if you can keep the $15 data package?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In its new scheme, MetroPCS is advertising unlimited talk, text, ‘Web browsing&#8217; and YouTube at a base price of $40 per month, with additional features like mobile instant messaging or access to audio downloads available on higher tiers for another $10 or $20 per month,” the letter states. “Notable among these ‘additional features&#8217; is the use of a category of Internet content, websites, applications, and services labeled by MetroPCS as ‘Data Access.&#8217; Although this category is ambiguous, various news reports, documents, and statements provided by MetroPCS indicate that it includes popular Internet applications and services, including Skype and Netflix. Users of the base MetroPCS plan apparently will not have access to such Internet content, websites, applications, and services. Users of the intermediate plan will have their use of such services capped at 1 GB per month, even though these users can continue to use their mobile broadband plans for other content, applications and services (most notably, some forms of web browsing, along with YouTube video viewing). By selectively blocking or capping the use of some Internet content, websites, applications, and services, <a href="http://www.rcrwireless.com/article/20110113/CARRIERS/110119972/MetroPCS-targeted-as-blocking-open-Internet-access">MetroPCS appears to be in violation of the Commission&#8217;s recently adopted open Internet rules.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day I needed another internet connection for my laptop so I downloaded an application called PDAnet on my laptop. PDAnet allows you to teather your PDA to your computer and use the PDA as a wireless modem. Now I can use my Motorola Backflip as a modem to access the internet on my laptop and desktop.</p>
<p>I have heard about this application before but I never took the time and looked into it. I have a Verizon Wireless data card that I use for my laptop and desktop computers. I have used the Verizon Wireless data card for all my internet needs for a few years now.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script><br />
<script type="text/javascript"

</script></p>
<p>My girlfriend is always using my data card on the desktop so I tried out PDAnet and to my surprise it was as easy as 123. </p>
<p>I did a Google search for pdanet and the first website I saw on the search I clicked on it and download the software specific for Vista and Android. The installation process took less than 5 minutes to get it up an running. The internet speed is remarkably fast and it has not given me any issues as of yet, plus because I am using an at&#038;t Android phone I still can talk on the phone while surfing the web from my laptop.</p>
<p>I do have a warning at&#038;t has limits on your data now and you can easily go over using your phone as a modem. I have unlimited data with at&#038;t that I am grandfather in on but I will still have to be cautious because at&#038;t and the other wireless carriers do not want you to do this with your PDA phone without paying for the teathering  feature. The teathering feature with most wireless providers range in price from $20 to $30 a month and the usage is limited to 2Gb to 5GB. </p>
<p>The PDAnet application that I downloaded is a great solution for anyone who needs to use a computer on the road. I now have another option to connect my computers to web. </p>
<p>The PDAnet allowed me to surf sites on any computer with my Backflip but it would not let me go to secure sites (https) unless I upgraded the PDAnet for a one time fee of $15.95. I paid the one time fee of $15.95 and now I am able to go to any site without any problems. This fee is transferable if you change Android phones and it can be used on any computer. </p>
<p>PDAnet works with most smartphones and operating systems (Blackberry, Apple OS, Android and Palm). </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to do quick video and post it to the web using my cell phone. I thought it would be easy to take the video and then upload it from the phone to YouTube so it can be used on my Blog. </p>
<p>I only can take a short video with my Blackberry Bold 9700 and send the video through MMS to YouTube. The video is sent as a multimedia message to YouTube and the anyone can see your video on YouTube. After the video is uploaded to Youtube it can be link to websites and or Blogs.</p>
<p>The issue I have is that a MMS video is only 30 seconds and the quality is not as good as normal videos that can be taken with the Blackberry Bold 9700. A normal video can be hours long as long as you have room on your media card. </p>
<p>I have a few other ways to upload longer and better quality videos to YouTube. First is after taking a good quality video with the phone take my media card and use the SD adapter to upload the video from my laptop to YouTube. </p>
<p>Secondly is my Motorola Backflip an Android device let&#8217;s me upload videos taken with it directly to YouTube without the 30 second restriction. I am sure it has something to do with Google owning Android mobile operating system and Youtube. My first test was a 5 minute video I took waiting for the draw bridge to open. I realized later more than 2 minutes took way too long to upload directly from the cell phone.</p>
<p>Then I remembered using an application on my Blackberry Bold 9000. It is called Qik, this application allow you to stream the video live and the video can be an hour or more. I stopped using Qik only because it is not supported on my Blackberry Bold 9700. Qik works on many devices Android, iPhones, Windows Mobile and some models of the Blackberry. </p>
<p>Qik is the easiest way to put videos on the web.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My battery life on my Motorola Backflip was terrible. Applications were running<br />
in the background and eating up battery life. I searched the device for a task<br />
manager but could not find one. On my Blackberry Bold 9700 when I held down the<br />
Blackberry button I can see what applications that are open select the running<br />
app then close it. The Motorola Backflip does not have that option built in.</p>
<p>I found an application on the Android market place call advanced task killer<br />
that let&#8217;s you shut down all your applications. It will give you a check list so<br />
you have the option to leave some applications running. I recommend this app for<br />
all Android users.</p>
