Most small businesses can’t afford PBX installs. There’s install fees, equipment purchasing and maintenance. With Velocity Small Business VOIP, you get PBX features using a VOIP phone. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s the full feature list of Windows Mobile 7 if you haven’t seen it yet. Read the rest of this entry »

Windows Mobile 7 was announced this morning. If you are looking for a video that covers some of the features, look no further! Windows Mobile 7 hits mobile phones this Fall.

Today I give you word from Microsoft on what would appear to be flying under the gaming radar since most of the information is not 100% related to gaming, but the little bit of information that I’ve read is (IMO) something to get very excited about.

Now mind you not everyone is going to ecstatic about the fact that an official integration of Xbox Live to the next iteration of the mobile Windows Mobile platform.

Games. This hub delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on a phone, including Xbox LIVE games, Spotlight feed and the ability to see a gamer’s avatar, Achievements and gamer profile. With more than 23 million active members around the world, Xbox LIVE unlocks a world of friends, games and entertainment on Xbox 360, and now also on Windows Phone 7 Series.

This is truly what I’ve been looking forward to before i made my leap into the Windows mobile platform. I’ve since finished off my contract with AT&T and have been in limbo for a few months just waiting around for this very announcement. Hit the break for the entire press release.

This is pretty awesome. I could see myself getting back into D&D with this tech.

Well hello there Bit Baggers. Today I found something pretty cool. No cancer hasn’t been cured, but there is something that should take your mind off it for a bit. As you may or may not know the dubbed “Fermi Cards” are Nvidia’s new and first line of DX11 GPU’s. Yesterday they received a name, and today I’m here to share that name. The new name of the cards will be…..(drum roll please)…….GTX 470 and GTX 480 respectively. So if you’re into PC’s, and you had intention on buying one of those cards, be on the lookout for that name. Unfortunately  there is no price point or release window at this point. This is something that I would’ve liked to know, more so than just a name. When I know, you’ll know. It is yet to be seen if the cards will live up to their name, or is just a slick marketing scheme. But from what I’ve seen I am sure they will.

On a side note I really wished they would’ve just kept the Fermi name. To me that sounded a lot cooler. Like Fermi 70 & 80. Kinda just rolled off the tongue you know? Well I guess that might have exacerbated the public a bit.

Recently at Town Hall at One Infinite Loop, Steve Jobs attacked Google and Adobe. He called ‘bullshit’ on Google for their Don’t Be Evil mantra. I wonder why he’s so upset about it? Maybe it’s because Apple IS in fact an evil company. With their hip ad campaigns and yuppy marketing you’d never know how evil they are. Case in point, deleting songs off of your hard drive that you paid money for and never telling you.

Jobs then took a jab at Adobe stating that they were a lazy company. Lazy? Lazy for giving us some of the best media tools for both on and offline use? Lazy for helping to push the standard of FLV video which enables slower computers to watch high quality video online? You wanna know lazy? How about spending R&D money to give the public an oversized, overpriced iPod Touch. Yeah that’s lazy. You wanna know lazy? It took them 3 years to add MMS to the iPhone. 3 years ago I could buy a $20 phone at the grocery store that supported MMS. Was Apple’s head up their corporate asses or did they purposely not give us a feature that pretty much all cell phones have had for years?

Apple is pretty much the laughing stock of the industry right now. They just took 4 steps back as far as I’m concerned. Everyone that buys an iPad will be walking around with a huge brushed metal scarlet letter on their chest. The base model $500 iPad has 16gb of memory, no camera, no expandable memory or SD card slot. A 3G model will be out 30 days after the wifi model and will run you even more money. I like the no contract data plan but it’s just not enough. I think that fans wanted this tablet so much that Apple had to deliver something. The problem is that they had no idea what to do and based their whole design off of an artist rendering found on the internet.

Looks like the iPad wasn’t a recent idea after all, check out this clip!

Well the new iPad will start at $499 for the base 16gb model. This is great news for true geeks that want a reason to laugh at die hard Apple fanboys. Whenever you see somebody with one of these, just smile at them.

iPod. Pretty Cool

iPhone. Badass

iPod Touch: Ok

Macbook Air. Ehhh

iPad. :Facepalm:

This is where I’m at with Apple products.

Looks like the iPad was announced today. Think of it as a tablet sized iPhone without the phone features…wait…a tablet sized iTouch. Yeah that’s better. I can’t wait to see pricing on this thing.

Just got word that they will be revealing HDMI 1.4 at CES. Here’s a full list of features that we will be getting with the new spec. I’m more interested in the Ethernet and 4K possibilities than anything. Does this mean that CAT5 will be a thing of the past in a few years? Is it worth it to upgrade your existing network from CAT5 to HDMI? Is 4xHD on it’s way already? It’s all very interesting isn’t it? Read the rest of this entry »
