The Tablets Are Here – Are You Ready?

Gartner Predicts 50% of PCs Purchased by 2015 will be touch-based /tablets devices. As a huge fan of the iPad, I’m hoping Gartner is right!

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Mac, and I’m definitely not saying the iPad is perfect, but heck, I’m far from being perfect and my wife still loves me most of the time…

People often ask me “iPad is nice, but what do you do with it?” To them, I tell the same story I’m about to tell you now.

Warning: it’s not going to be easy…

BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone

(Image taken from The iPhone Blog)

Every once in a while I like writing about other topics than Windows Mobile. After all, there are other mobile OS which are very good and successful and I’m even using them for periods of time with a lot of pleasure.

I found an interesting article at PCWorld, comparing between BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3GS.

The writer is definitely an iPhone fan and seems to criticize most of the BlackBerry features (UI, trackball, mails functionality, keyboard).

I found some interesting points in the article, but I have to admit I do not agree with many of them (I do agree with some). For example, I actually like the BlackBerry emails application, I also love the keyboard, and think that the trackball is great.

I do think that there is no comparison with the iPhone when it comes to user interface and third party applications.

Twikini – free Twitter client for Windows Mobile

Twikini

I still find it hard to understand the benefit of using Twitter.
I mean, I just don’t see myself reporting my boring activities to people I barely know, it’s so strange!
Besides, if I want to share something important, I can always post about it in my blog, send my friends emails or… god forbids… call them(???)…
And whenever I read my friend’s updates I usually find some stuff I can never fins useful ("Waiting for my bags at the airport", "Hate Pizza"… like… what? how? why?)

Nevertheless, since the entire world twitters, I try to keep up with it too… and I recently came across a few twitter clients (PocketTwit, Twitterrific, and many more) and here’s the latest one I found for Windows Mobile. It’s called Twikini.

Twikini offers a powerful and efficient way to use Twitter on your phone. It conveniently updates your favorite feeds in the background, and leverages the camera, GPS, media, touch screen, keyboard, graphics and storage capabilities of your device.
