Is The iPad Capable of Windows Network Management?


It is true that there has been debates about the functionality and viability of the iPad as an effective business gear. But these arguments would seem very minor compared to the debates being rolled by Apple and Microsoft devotees and fans.

If you even propose that the Apple iPad can be used as an actual instrument for remotely managing a Microsoft Windows network, take heed as that might be considered blasphemy by the two arguing parties. Nevertheless, there are some vital facts to be considered in order to come to reconciliation.

apple ipad Is The iPad Capable of Windows Network Management?

When the iPhone was released, its administrators have fully embraced the fact that it is a powerful device in performing IT tasks due to the fact that iPhones are handy and always at hand, during lunch, off-site meeting or home TV hours, bringing a notebook computer may seem not practical but a sophisticated phone could be.

The iPad's bigger dimensions than the iPhone may present it to be an inconvenient tool for such purpose but compared to a netbook the iPad  is a more suitable tool. In addition, iPad also solves the limitations of the iPhone. Being thinner that netbooks and with a larger screen than the iPhone, the iPad is surely a potent device for remote networking tasks.

apple ipad hands on Is The iPad Capable of Windows Network Management?

iPad has applications intended for IT administration that Windows administrators will find interesting and suitable. One among which is the "WinAdmin app." It presents a remote desktop protocol for MS Windows client that allows connection with remote systems utilizing Windows. Through "WinAdmin", administrators can troubleshoot and address IT issues, perform log reviews or even alter configuration settings. It may also be utilized for accessing files and documents.

If the App Store has numerous gaming and entertainment applications, so does the business applications too. iPad has a special business version that can be used either with Wi-fi or 3G networks. A general consumer may be satisfied with just a Wi-Fi but business professionals are investing and allotting at least 130 dollars for the iPad to have an enabled 3G and insurance policy. A pay per use setting where in the user will only be charged a fee for using 3G when no Wi-Fi is available, then automatically called off when usage is over.

The Array Networks Desktop Direct is on the development process for connecting iPad with MS networks. iTeleport is for streaming remote sessions of Windows or Mac systems.

 

Download Official Blackberry Twitter Client


Twitter, the 140 character microblogging site has released the twitter blackberry client for download. This is the first official twitter client for blackberry phones bought out by Twitter with Research In Motion.

The official tag to the client has its own set of advantages, although, many would still prefer ubertwitter client over this official twitter client on the blackberry. The reason – this official client doesn't highlight replies, and you're unable to edit tweets before RTing it.

On the other hand, the official client comes with an simple interface and doesn't drain your battery (unlike other tweeting clients), it's clean and user-friendly. The client carries enough requirements to meet your tweeting habits.

The iPad and Good Reader App: A Whole New Reading Experience

 

Apple iPad is one device with a really exceptional screen for various application displays. And it is even lined with the rest of the other all-purpose reader electronic products in the market.

iBooks may provide an attractive e-book interface but there's the problem of cluttering files on the desktop like high-resolution images, HTML pages, presentations, spreadsheets, documents and portable document formats. But those who are seriously bothered by this dilemma may not start to anticipate a much better solution offered by the iPad.

The Good Reader application, which is known to be incorporated in iPhone and iPodTouch is soon to be featured along with the other useful apps in Apple iPad.

Complete with the ability to open and browse through entirely large sized files like PDFs, this is sure to be a hit with the iPad. Additionally, this tablet version is also integrated with the brand new preview control panel where a new column is added for quick peeks of all the files and their uploaded contents to the Good Reader.

ipad good reader The iPad and Good Reader App: A Whole New Reading Experience

To make the electronic reading experience more substantial, this Good Reader Tablet Edition is made to include all the exciting and solid features in its smaller screen counterpart. Aside from the Wi-Fi syncing capability with the computer, the Tablet Good Reader is also designed to sync through the internet with other handy and expedient services like Drop box, Google Docs and Mobile Me's iDisk and even with the less popular services like MyDisk.se and Box.net.

Here's more. If you wish to extract the contents of a very long PDF document, the Good Reader tablet edition's PDF Reflow feature can be utilized to copy all the text contents of the PDF document and then automatically saves this into an all-exclusive text file. Take not that the PDF's contents is substantially reduced in the new text file as all existing images are not included in the saving of the new text file.

And, if the tiny new file is not that tiny to you, then you could pinch it a bit more by adjusting the page margins, include further word wrapping and alter the color and size of the text font as per your preference. Convenience is really the business of the Good Reader. It could also keep track of your reading progress even with hyperlinks, zoom the file up to 50 times and works fine with all office documents and file formats.


AT&T’s signal-boosting 3G MicroCell hitting the shelves in San Francisco today

AT&T's signal-boosting 3G MicroCell hitting the shelves in San Francisco today

 

If AT&T gets a bad wrap for having poor signal quality in any city, it's San Francisco. Part of this is due to the sudden influx of iPhones in the Silicon Valley that began in 2007, putting an almighty strain on the network; of the roughly 800,000 or so people living in San Francisco, we're estimating that around 10 million of them (or 1,150%) are carrying iPhones. Throw in ridiculous topography and monstrous buildings, and it starts to get tough to properly blanket the entire area in radio waves.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that San Francisco is one of the first cities to be getting AT&T's cell-tower-in-a-box, the 3G MicroCell. AT&T just hit us up to let us know that we should start seeing the little router-sized, broadband-powered signal boosters on the shelves in their San Francisco stores beginning today.

If you're in a dead zone or if the ridiculously sized buildings around your home are causing your calls to fail on the regular, you might want to consider picking one of these up. It'll set you back $150 bucks up front, but there's no monthly fee — that is, unless you want unlimited minutes whenever you're connected to your MicroCell. That'll set you back $20 bucks a month.

We just got our hands on one of these things this evening, and we'll be heading up to the city later this week to give it a spin. Check back for a hands on report some time this week.


 

Video Chat Coming To The Next iPhone? All Signs Are Pointing To Yes

 

As they do with any major new iPhone OS release, people have been tearing apart the iPhone OS 4.0 SDK from the very second it was available. Almost immediately, someone noticed that bits and pieces of iChat had found their way into the new software.

By itself, it didn't really make sense. The iPhone has plenty of incredibly solid third-party IM applications — some of them being amongst the App Store's best sellers. Why would Apple be sneaking any parts of iChat onto the iPhone? Then the first mentions of a front facing camera were unearthed, and it all started coming together in the form of two little words: video chat. Alas, there was no concrete proof that Apple was following the same train of thought.. until now.

You see, much of iPhone OS' underpinnings can be revealed through tricks called "class dumping" and "string dumping". Through class dumping, you can take a peek into which frameworks and APIs are being used by any given application. (Ever heard of an application using "unpublished" APIs? This is how the developers found those APIs in the first place — and how Apple caught them, for that matter.) Through string dumping, all of the various bits of text pre-programmed into an app can be ripped out and displayed.

When the guys over at 9to5Mac started using the above techniques to explore the innards of the new SDK, it all came spilling out. There they were, in good ol' plain English: references to video chatting, ranging from inviting users to terminating calls. More digging unveiled that Apple appears to be testing video chat on four servers: three privately located on Apple's own intranet, and one which is (currently) open to the world (albeit mostly useless).

We spoke to our own sources, many of whom were tight-lipped on the matter. Of those who did pipe up, they were able to confirm 9to5's findings, along with at least 30 other references to video chat support that went unmentioned. All of them — and us, for that matter — seem to be wondering the same thing: why the heck did Apple leave this in (semi-private) public view? Apple's known for shrouding even the most minute details in secrecy; here, it's seems as if they're almost intentionally throwing many dozens of hints about an unannounced feature in a place where tinkerers were almost guaranteed to find it. Is Apple learning to love the rumor mill?

My current educated guess based on everything that has been whispered to me so far: I don't think iChat, as an IM client that would compete with the third party apps, is coming to the iPhone — but that Apple will be using bits and pieces of the iChat core to power their video chat service. I'll keep my ear to the ground for more.

What the Next iPhone Will Have [From iPhone OS 4.0]

 


Apple's just announced the latest version of their mobile operating system, iPhone OS, version 4.0. One of mac icon2 What the Next iPhone Will Have [From iPhone OS 4.0]the major features included in this iteration of the software that powers the iPhone, iPod touch, and now the iPad, is multitasking — the ability to run more than one third-party application on your iPhone.

But the announcement by CEO Steve Jobs at the Apple theater in Cuppertino, Calif. yesterday is a clear hint at what's to come in the much-rumoured and anticipated fourth iteration of the iPhone.

Already, we can see that new OS 4.0 features such as multitasking do require some performance power (and significant battery), even though Apple went to lengths talking about how they managed to "revolutionize" multitasking on mobile devices. This particular feature will only be able to run on the more powerful iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod touch, devices that are known to have better chips powering them.

apple iphone 4 os What the Next iPhone Will Have [From iPhone OS 4.0]

Couple this with the inclusion of Apple's in-house microchip, the A4 processor, in the iPad, and we see that the next iPhone will most definitely include something along the lines of the A4, if not the actual chip itself. Rumors are even starting to float around the blogosphere of the next iPhone being multi-core capable. That'd be awesome, in my opinion.

So, it goes without saying that the next iPhone will definitely have all the features announced for the iPhone OS 4.0. But as with every new SDK release of the iPhone OS for developers, if we dig deep enough, we can find hints at future Apple products. The iPhone OS 4.0 SDK is no different.

Reports are coming in of a process called iChatAgent, clearly indicating that there'll be some sort of iChat implementation on the next iPhone. Couple this with other rumors of ever-present hints at a second, front-facing camera, and we can see that Apple is perhaps planning on a mobile iChat implementation on iPhone, a feature much sought-after for years on the iPhone.

Then there's the rumors of HD on the iPhone. While we cannot confirm these as yet, if Apple's moves on the iPad are any indication, it would appear that a better screen and resolution on the next iPhone, akin to the iPad, is bound to occur.

The iPhone OS 4.0 finally brings the iPhone and iPad product lines closer to each other; features like the improved Dock, Background wallpapers and iBooks, mean that Apple is keen on making these two product lines run asynchronously. I'm not complaining, though: given their track record on making all their products work together seamlessly, this is great. And I certainly look forward to what this fruity company has in store for us in the months to come.

The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System

The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System

 


I could not help myself from being impressed with the HTC HD2. Why? Because the combination of its physical attributes is truly exceptional Almost like a smartphone for $200 and a two-year subscription from T-Mobile. But I was somehow dismayed when I discovered that it has but an obsolete OS, the Windows Mobile 6.5 which cannot be upgraded with the WinMo 7 once it's out.

Stunning Design

Nevertheless, the minimalist design is really exceptional. Stainless steel, soft black rubber body, very chic appearance though it's a little larger than most smartphones (4.7 x 2.6 x .4 inches). This slightly bigger built is accounted to accommodate the 480 by 800 pixel resolution in its 4.3 inches WVGA screen (responsive but sluggish on the average).

HTC HD2 phone The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System

Beneath the screen are five elliptical buttons (each for Power/End, Back, Windows Start, Home and Talk); at the bottom edge of the phone is the 3.5-mm headphone jack (top side is preferable) and mini-USB port. The 5 Mp camera and its LED flash are above the battery cover and the volume dial is on the left.

Old Fashioned OS

The outmoded Windows 6.5 OS is teamed up with HTC's unique user interface, the HTC Sense. So at certain points, the sluggishness and confusing features of the OS is not that obvious and even makes the device user-friendly as well as good to view. The Sense composed of shortcut bars at the bottom for flocking through the applications.

As with the WinMo, the most advantageous trait is lock screen, missed calls and messages can be viewed without the need to unlock it. To respond, you will need to really unlock it then you are directed straight to the app. It has two browsers, IE and Opera Mobile. For YouTube videos, IE is suggested. While for swiftly searching anything on the internet, the Opera Mobile is more preferable

Substantial Multimedia Elements

The Windows Media Player is superb as always in track playing but on this device it appeared uninteresting. But then again the HTC Sense has a large screen that makes up for the high-quality videos that can be downloaded and watched straight from it.htc hd2 os The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System

The camera too is impressive, just right for both indoor and outdoor shoots.

Mottled Operation

This phone is almost perfect but you really have to deal with the fact that it is slow to operate at certain times; it can be a good alternative for android Google Nexus One with same 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

Cyberduck: Easy FTP for Mac!


Apart from being a writer, I manage the online presence of my karate organization. One of the things that needs to always be done with this job, is to update the website frequently.

I use iWeb to do the design, but for some reason it doesn't always connect to our hosting server, so that I can upload the latest version of the site.

Whilst doing a quick search over at Google, I discovered a great FTP client for Mac that also happens to be free. It's called Cyberduck.

Cyberduck is a powerful little FTP app, and it's quite simple to use. The only limitation I've found with it is that it doesn't allow you to manage more than one account at a time, something that the more popular (and far more technically complex FileZilla does allow). I chose to use Cyberduck over FileZille simply because it's far more easier to use, and its interface is more Mac-like than FileZilla.

Cyberduck is not only great for updating websites like my karate organization's, but its awesome for bloggers managing blogging software like WordPress on self-hosted servers. I've managed to use it to install plugins and themes for  my personal blog, which happens to use WordPress.

cyberduck picture Cyberduck: Easy FTP for Mac! cyberduck ftp client Cyberduck: Easy FTP for Mac! cyberduck window Cyberduck: Easy FTP for Mac!

The interface is pretty straight-forward. The main screen shows you a list of files (much like an iTunes library). To go into a folder on your server, simply drop-down the arrow next to a folder icon.

But before you do all that, you'll need to connect to your server! This can be done by going to Open Connection, the first icon on the left. From there, you can enter information about your server, including its FTP address, username and password. Once done, Cyberduck will begin listing files.

A cool feature of this application is that if an upload fails, it will alert you to it via Growl notification, and ask you whether you want to re-try the upload. You then have the option of overwiring the corrupt files on the server.

All in all, Cyberduck is a great application for people wanting to update their blog's software from the back-end, or, like me, to update an entire website by exploring the files on the server.

You can download Cyberduck from this link.
