Cellphones, More Than Calls, Text and Ringtones?
As 2.5G cell phones morph into 3G multimedia communicators the apparent dearth of compatible content becomes more pronounced. However, the inclusion of built-in web browsers in most new phones and the advent of always-on web access means that users can now bypass the cumbersome wap interfaces of yesterday by directly accessing any website.This opens up a vast resource of content to mobile users but it is of little value if they do not know which sites are formatted to fit their screens, what services they provide or even that they are available. Thumbtips.com (http://www.thumbtips.com) is a new portal, currently in beta testing, which is especially designed for mobile phone users. Thumbtips.com provides a directory to phone compatible web sites that do not require wap configuration, special software or synchronization with PCs for access.In general these are sites readily available to any phone, on any network as long as that phone has a web browser installed. Such sites are culled from 3 main areas of the standard web; sites designed strictly for mobile phones; sites designed for PDAs which will fit mobile screens and text-only or standard sites which will display and function.Thumbtips.com seeks out and organises these sites into sections that are easily and quickly navigable, providing both the neophyte and experienced mobile user with invaluable shortcuts to a wide range of sites.
That many of these sites either duplicate or augment sites users are already using on their home/office PCs and PDAs means that content scarcity is now a thing of the past. As the mobile web comes into its' own it will evolve in 2 distinct ways, firstly as a medium with services uniquely native to itself and secondly as an extension to the accessibility of the traditional web itself.Thumbtips.com seeks to be the central gateway for the mobile phone user to the vast array of information and services available. As more content providers and businesses realize the potential of the mobile web and how much easier it now is to service using plain HTML, the value of Thumbtips.com will become increasingly apparent.Point your mobile browser to http://www.thumbtips.com and bookmark it..

Signs of a Cheating Spouse:

Never run out of juice again!
So it's high noon in the middle of the desert.
Ok let's not be as extreme
Let's
say late afternoon on the subway back from work, where you notice that you forgot to charge your cell phone. You're expecting that all important call, when just as the phone rings, it goes the familiar dead-looking screen of the depleted battery.
Ok first some perspective:
One of the first and most challenging problems for mobile device makers (cell phones, I-Pods, Game Boys, or mobile computers)
is the energy issue. Over my career I've seen dozens of companies who have tried to tackle this problem from many different perspectives. Ultimately, -let's face it for better (if you are a battery maker) or for worse (if you own anything mobile)
until we get the atomic battery going, most of the solutions that I will describe below are less than perfect.
Now to what's out there:
1. the standard wall socket...

Replacing and Upgrading Business Phone Systems
Business phone systems can be simple or complex, depending on the number of lines and desk units to be installed. With a little forethought, purchasing a business phone system can allow you to have an expandable platform that is easily capable of handling the growth your company may experience. Many business phone manufacturers make equipment that is only useful within their product line. For this reason, it is essential to examine what products are offered to make sure that your needs will be met both today and several years down the road.
If you are replacing a business phone system, you may not be able to utilize parts of your current system for an upgrade if your current equipment is outdated or no longer manufactured.
Some business phone systems are only expandable so far, with the number of lines being limited. For cost purposes, it is always more cost effective to upgrade an existing system than to completely replace your system, but be especially...

Back to the Future: New Exhibition at BYU Museum of Art Explores Relationship of Nostalgia and Technology
(ContentDesk) November 4, 2005 -- At first glance, the terms nostalgia and technology make an unlikely, even incompatible combination. Technology invites change. Nostalgia resists. Technology looks to the future. Nostalgia clings to the past.
But for centuries, these adversarial ideas have been harmoniously fused together, facilitating the acceptance of change and innovation by appealing to the past. Nostalgia & Technology: Embracing the New through Art and Design, at the Brigham...
