‘Apple is pitching the device as the best way to surf the web, play games and read books on the go’.

The iPad is designed by Apple ‘for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, plaving games, reading eBooks, and much more’ . It will be available in US starting in March, but other markets including the UK will have to wait until later this year.

Looking somewhat like an overgrown iPod Touch, the iPad is based around a multitouch enabled, 9.7 in backlit·LED display. It’s just 0.5 in thick aand weighs only 700g. The light, compact form factor is important. as Apple is explicitty targeting the iPad as a device that, while not as portable as a phone, is still lighter arid more convenient than a laptop.

The user interface is a mix between the iPhone and the Mac. The underlying OS is essentialty the iPhone as. The iPad’s screen uses IPS (in-plane-switching), which offers a wide, 1780 viewing angle and Quick response times ‘for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, plaving games, reading ‘Apple is pitching the device as the best way to surf the web, play for video so that it displays a clear picture with consistent games and read books on the go’ colours even if you view it from the side.

This is important, as Apple is pitching the device as the best way to consume media, surf the web, play games and read books on the move. Similarly, the company emphasised the iPad’s claimed 10-hour battery life, which is longer than the typical laptop. ‘We use the e-pub format, the most popular open book format in the world,’ said Apple CEO Steve.

The talks confirm just how much relations between Apple and Google, its erstwhile ally against Microsoft. have shifted. Until last August, Google CEO Eric Schmidt was still on Apple’s board of directors, but now the two companies are in direct competition in the smartphone, mobile advertising, browser sectors and, when Chrome OS appears, in the personal computer market.

‘Apple and Google know the other is their primary enemy.’ one insider told Businessweek. ‘Microsoft is now a pawn in that battle.’

Meanwhile, Schmidt recently attempted to tone down the perceived acrimony between Apple and Google. ‘I, as a former board member, have a special spot for Apple in my heart,’ he told financial analysts during a conference call. Apple is a very well run company. They have a lot of very good stuff coming. We have a couple of very good partnerships with them, and we also compete with them in a couple of areas. My guess is that is a pretty stable Situation for a while.’

For Microsoft, a deal would enable it to boost Bing’s market share, especially in the emerging mobile search market, where Google is less entrenched, and where the iPhone is the dominant hardware platform.

Although Apple and Microsoft. have been mortal enemies in the past, the two have also worked together when it suited them. Microsoft makes money selling Mac applications like Office, and in 1997 Apple made Internet Explorer the default web browser for the Mac in return for a $150 million (about £93 million) investment.

Apple’s decision to switch to Bing from Google could also just be a Question of Microsoft offering more money to have its search engine made the default for the iPhone and Safari, according to some industry analysts.

Others have speculated that Apple could adopt Bing as a stop-gap, while it develops its own search engine.

What should Joe do? Joe should look into getting into ecommerce.

Now first things first, what is ecommerce? Ecommerce is the conducting of commerce with goods and services over the Internet. It includes: consumers using the Internet to purchase goods and services online; as well as businesses selling and communicating with other businesses through the Internet.

There are a lot of “Mom and Pop” stores all over the world that want to get their goods and services Online. How do they do it? Well there are a few things that Joe is going to need.

1. Joe Needs a Domain Name

The first thing Joe should be looking for is a good domain name. It should be something that is short, yet gets the job done when it comes to telling people what they are coming to see or buy.

Take my domain name for example. When you type in WebHostingShow.com you automatically know you are getting a show about Web hosting. Now do you have to be that direct? No - but it doesn’t hurt any. This is very special offer from Dotster Low cost domain registration. Buy one domain, get one free!

2. Joe Needs an “Ecommerce Friendly” Web Hosting Company

The second thing that Joe needs is a Web hosting company. Now there are millions out there to choose from, so finding one should not be that big of an issue. Find the best hosting deal for your budget and go with it. Now will just any Web host do? No. You want to look for the one that offers the other things on the list as well. That is where the term “Ecommerce Friendly” comes into play.

The Web hosting account that Joe chooses should have:

• A Dedicated IP Address
• Shopping Cart Software
• Shared SSL Certificate
• Dedicated SSL Certificate

Now the dedicated IP address and the SSL certificates kind of go together in the same group. I will explain more about them later. The shopping cart software will be where the fun begins.

3. Joe Needs His Online Store Setup

Now when it comes to setting up the basic building blocks of an Online store you will need a script or service to run the interface. Now like you might use WordPress or MovableType for blogs and driving content - you will need to find another Online script to run your virtual store front. Here are some of your options:

• osCommerce Shopping Cart
• Cube Cart Shopping Cart
• Zen Cart Shopping Cart

Now some if not all of these will come pre-installed with your Web hosting account. That is one of the devilish details you will need to look into when you go shopping yourself for a Web host.

4. Does Joe Need a Dedicated IP Address?

Answering support questions, every so often I get the guy who tells me he doesn’t know what a dedicated IP address is but he wants one! Now where a dedicated IP address plays a part in the Web hosting world is when you need it for setting up your own dedicated SSL Certification.

Now I could get into all the details about how it works and why you need it, but both of use would probably just end up being more confused than when we started. The thing to remember is - is that if you want your own dedicated SSL certificate, you need a dedicated IP address. If you want to use the shared SSL (if it is provided by the Web host) then you usually don’t have to have the dedicated IP address.

5. Joe Wants to Know the Differences Between Dedicated and Shared SSL Certificates

Now we get into that gray area that seems to confused a lot of people. Before I tell you the differences between shared and dedicated SSL certificates - let me share with you what exactly a SSL certificate is. SSL certificates give a Web site the ability to communicate securely with its Web customers. Without a certificate, any information sent to a Web site can be intercepted and viewed by anyone.

You know that little padlock you see in your address bar when you have a secure connection to your E-mail, banking or credit card company’s Web site? That is created by the SSL certificate. Think of it as the security checker on the server. It’s job is to encrypt any information sent from yourself to the server so no bad guys can steal your information.

Shared SSL Certificates

Now a shared SSL certificate is usually one provided by your Web hosting company. It is the one that everybody and anybody on the server you are on can use.

The advantage of using this is you don’t have to pay for a dedicated SSL certificate of your own. The disadvantage is that when people go snooping around to see your verification it is going to show your Web host’s information and not your own.

Dedicated SSL Certificates

For those that want the more professional touch, you should go with a dedicated SSL certificate of your own. Now at this point, I am not sure which way Joe might go - but there is nothing wrong with paying a little extra to get your own SSL certificate.

The advantage is that it gives your company and Web site a more professional look. Dedicated SSL also shows that the SSL certificate is in your company name and dedicated to your Web site. The disadvantage is that it usually costs some of the green stuff, and you have to pay your dues on a subscription type basis.

6. Joe Needs a Credit Card Processor

Now that Joe has a domain, hosting account, shopping cart software, and an SSL certificate - what comes next? Well a lot of folks do not think of the credit card processing that an Online store must do to turn those products into dollars. This is the one area you might have to shop around to get a good deal on. Most Web hosts do not do credit card processing because it would be another headache that they don’t want to deal with.

So with that said, what should you be looking for? Well after you type “credit card processors” into Google you should look for a company that will:

• Work Well With Your Shopping Cart Software
• Doesn’t Take Too Much Off the Top of Your Sales
• Has Low or No Annual Fees

If you want to go down the easy road when you start out, you might look at PayPal or Google Checkout as a payment processor.

7. Does Joe Want to Shop Around?

Now that all the basic have been covered and Joe has everything he needs to know, should he shop around for all these various things or get them all in one spot? I would say Joe should get as many of them as he can at one spot. This makes managing things a lot easier.

Your Web hosting company maybe able to point you in the right direction and get a lot of these services for you cheaper than it would be to go out and do all the shopping on your own.

Now you know Joe, the guy that lives down the street? He has turned his little local store into a world wide market leader by placing himself on the Internet. Where people in his local area used to be the only ones that could get his goods - now everybody can. This is as good as opening a store in every city across the world. You don’t have to be a Walmart to become a success. All you need is a good idea and the tools of the trade I have provided you here.

Backing up Isn’t Fun To Do

If your using a content management system, then you might search the official site for that CMS to find the best way to backup the information it stores. Often you can also backup you databases (MySQL, MSSQL, ect). Control panels can really come in handy when it comes to backing up too. All of the major control panels that your hosting account could come with should have a backup function built in.

You should also always keep a backup of your web site in my opinion (make one at least one a month) no matter if your moving or not. That makes this job easier to manage and getting everything moved from the Web to your computer shouldn’t be such a big job.

Put Your Moving Pants On…

Next step you are going to want to take is to take all of those files, folders, databases and more from your computer to the new web host. Before transferring the information over, check with your new web host to see if you will be able to view your web site as it should be seen with the temporary URL they give you. Often if they give you a URL like this: http://www.dummyurl.com/~yourname

You will not be able to execute JSP, PHP and other advanced code types. If that is the case, see if they can set you up with a temporary real domain or sub domain. Most web hosts will be happy to do so - but it will be a service you need to ask for. Then you will know your web site will be able to be viewed by your domain name (with the old web host) or your temporary domain name (with the new web host).

They give you a domain such as testsite.testermctesttest.com. Now that you have a temporary domain that works with your new hosting plan you are ready to transfer over (via FTP) all of your static web site files.

Syncing Content, Keep it Static

Once the files are uploaded with your new web host - go back to your older web host and disable your databases and put up a nice message saying, “Web site going through move, will be back soon.” or something to that effect. You need to turn off any dynamic content generation (like with forums or blogs/comments) so that your information moving from the old host to the new host will not be out of sync when your done.

Now let us go back to your new web hosting account and upload your scripts, services and databases that need to be restored. Each script will have it’s own way of doing this so best to check with the script provider to see what the best method might be.

Take a break. At this point you should have two working versions of your web site. They are: the web site with your domain name at the old web host and the web site with the temporary domain with the new web host. Both should be static, so that no content can be added or removed from them at this point in the move. If all systems are go, then you are ready to move to the next step in the process.

Domain Names and Nameservers

Now you need to get your domain name to point to your web site with your new web host. To do this, login to the place where your domain name is registered and update your nameservers. These should be supplied to you by your new web hosting company and are what tells the domain name to point to the new hosting account and away from the old one.

Note: If you talked your new web host into giving you a temporary domain, now you will probably need to tell them you want to go back to using your actual domain name.

Now this nameserver update will take some time to complete. I would say give it 24 to 48 hours. After that time has gone by your domain name should be pointing at your new hosting account. While the change over it taking place, people will be taken (most often) to your web site with your old web host or your web site with the new web host.

Once your domain starts pointing at your new web hosting plan, you are almost all done. Turn back on your dynamic content, forums, blogs, comments, and more. Break open some of the good bubbly stuff too because you just completed something that most people dread. I would put moving a web site from web host to web host right up there with doing your taxes. It is no fun at all. I would give it a week or two there before you cancel your old hosting account so that if you forgot to backup something you still have time to grab it before you old web host deletes it for good.

What Is Facebook?

Facebook is a social networking website. To flesh out this definition a bit more, it’s an online community—a place where people can meet and interact; swap photos, videos, and other information; and generally connect with friends, family, coworkers, fellow students, fellow hobbyists and enthusiasts, and numerous others in their social network. Facebook connects people within cities or regions, work or school, home or abroad, and so on. Built on an architecture of profile pages that allow individual users to share information about themselves and communicate with others, Facebook seeks to create an environment in which members log in regularly to keep track of what friends and colleagues are doing, share their own activities, interact about interests and hobbies, send messages, and join groups and networks—just to name a few things.

Facebook is fast becoming the most popular social networking site on the Internet, quickly surpassing the previous leader, MySpace, in the number of registered users. Offering free access and dozens of tools for connecting people in social, school, and workplace environments, Facebook has over 200 million active users and is growing, with 100 million logging in daily to use the site. Over 30 million users access Facebook through mobile devices. Perhaps you’re wondering at this point why so many people are flocking to Facebook? That’s easy—it’s incredibly simple to use.

What started out as a college-based social network site, two-thirds of Facebook’s members are now outside of the college startup base and include users of all ages and walks of life. In other words, Facebook isn’t just for college kids anymore. One of the fastest-growing segments of users is the 35–54-year-old crowd. Facebook is also a global phenomenon. Over 40 translations of the site are up and running, with more in development. 70% of users are outside
the U.S., but those numbers are changing as Facebook rapidly catches on in the states.

At its heart, Facebook is all about connecting people with people. Facebook users do a variety of things with the site: track news about friends far and wide; make new friends centered around common interests; share photos, music, links, and videos; organize and invite people to events; play games; spread the word about charities and causes; buy and sell stuff; market products; and much, much more. As a website, Facebook is accessible to all Internet users, where permitted. In addition to connecting people, third-party developers are creating a wide variety of applications—programs that run within the Facebook framework—to entertain and inform. Applications range from the silly to
the serious, and new ones are added each day. What makes Facebook such a huge hit is its features and tools, and the willingness of its users to network with each other in their communities locally and globally.

Facebook History

Social networks have been around for awhile now, and most are focused on connecting friends and colleagues. Bulletin Board Services (BBS) and Usenet groups were examples of early forms of social networks. As the concept evolved, generalized communities, like Geocities and Tripod (back in the mid-1990s), brought people together through chat rooms and forums. Today, social networks are flourishing all over the Web, including the ever-popular MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Some social sites, like Classmates.com, specialize in connecting former schoolmates, whereas
other social sites, such as SixDegrees.com, focus on indirect ties between people. Some sites specialize in niche groups, whereas others aim for more generalized populations of people. Internet business strategies are recognizing the opportunities inherent in social networks and are happy to cater to different groups of people and their networking needs.

So where does Facebook fit in? Facebook is quickly becoming a front runner in the social networking race. Originally called The Facebook, Facebook started out in 2004 as a network geared toward college students at Harvard University. Founded by a computer science major, Mark Zuckerberg, and his roommates, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, the project quickly gained popularity among students. With financing assistance from Eduardo Saverin, the site grew seemingly overnight.

The original idea was based on paper face books commonly used to acquaint students with the campus community, including staff, faculty, and incoming students. Initially, the website was only available to Harvard students, but rapidly expanded to other universities in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Eventually, the concept spread to other universities and high schools, and today, anyone with a valid email address can join the fray. Facebook swiftly became an Internet sensation, and in 2005, the facebook.com domain was purchased and the base of operations moved to
California.

Although the site is free to join, it generates revenue through advertising, including banner ads. New features and updates are added regularly, and the Facebook folks are quick to heed the ideas, wants, and needs of its members. In 2007, the Facebook Platform was launched, allowing a framework for software developers to create applications for the site. Today, tens of thousands of applications are available for Facebook, with more added daily.

Facebook Uses

So what does a Facebook member do on the site? What exactly does the site have to offer? More importantly, what can I get out of the experience? Here’s a list of various activities and pursuits to get you started on the road to answers to those questions: . Connect with people. Connect with friends, family, colleagues, and fellow students. Reconnect with old friends, acquaintances,and family members scattered about the globe. Make new friends who share your interests.

• Keep track of your friends’ activities, while they keep track of yours.
• Share messages, links, photo albums, and video clips.
• Blog with the Facebook Notes feature.
• Organize events and invite friends to parties, concerts, band performances, meetings, and gatherings of all kinds.
• Play games with friends.
• Send virtual gifts, birthday greetings, and other digital objects.

• Market yourself, your products, or your company.

This list is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s plenty more to do and see, and plenty of people to meet. So what are you waiting for? Log on and start socializing!

Looking at Facebook Pages

The Facebook makers have kept the site fairly simple, which is a major part of its appeal. Naysayers complain that there’s not enough customizing options, but truthfully, most customizing that takes place on personal web pages these days usually ends up making the pages distracting and difficult to follow. Navigationally, Facebook includes a logon page as the starting point for entering the website. After you pass that, you’re presented with a Home page, shown in figure below, and links to your other pages.

Your other pages include your profile page, a Friends page, and your Inbox. You can easily move between pages by clicking the links at the top of the Facebook page located in the blue navigation bar. The left side of the bar has links to your pages, whereas the right side of the bar offers links to settings, logging out, and a search tool.

If you scroll to the bottom of any Facebook page, you’ll find links for advertisers, developers, terms of service, help, and more. Also at the bottom of the Facebook page is an Applications Bar, which stocks shortcut links to your favorite Facebook apps.

The Home page (see picture above) is sort of like Grand Central Station for news about your friends on Facebook. It tracks the ongoing status updates of your friends, published photos and videos, shared links, fan pages they’ve joined, and so forth. All the activities come together on a scrollable page that’s constantly changing (if you refresh the page, that is). The Home page is where you go to see and be seen on Facebook.

As mentioned previously, the focus in Facebook is on profile pages—the place where you add information about yourself to share with others.

Another picture shows an example of a profile page. A typical profile page includes a picture, a status text box so you can let the rest of the Facebook world know what you’re up to or what you’re thinking, a Wall of activities you’re pursuing and communications from friends, and tabs for accessing other pages and features. For example, to add or edit profile information, you can click the Info tab to view your details and make changes.

You can view your friend’s profile pages to check out what they’re doing and what they’re up to on Facebook. The information you see listed on your Facebook pages is always changing based on your activities and the activities of your friends, so be sure to refresh your pages often.

So far, I’ve only described a few of the pages you’ll encounter. There are lots more. Now that you’ve had a brief tour, you’re ready to jump in, right? If you haven’t created an account yet, Next article  “Setting Up a Profile,” shows you how. If you’re already a Facebook member, move onto the other lessons detailing how to use the site and get the most out of your social networking experience. Enjoy!

According to investment firm Piper Jaffray, the iTunes App Store could grow into a $1 billion business by next year. After seeing how many apps were downloaded in the App Store’s first few weeks, it’s not too difficult to believe that lofty prediction. The combination of an easy-to-use interface, over-the-air purchasing direct to the device, and low prices encourages impulse buying. But even at $5 to $10 a piece, the cost of adding applications to your iPhone or iPod touch can add up quickly. Fortunately, almost a fifth of the apps initially available at the iTunes App Store are free—and many of these are excellent applications. Here are some of our favorites.

AIM

Provides a resident instant messaging client for the iPhone (which currently doesn’t have one) The service is simple to set up and use, and works as expected. Unfortunately, Apple’s decision to exclude third-party apps from running in the background significantly limits its functionality. This will likely change sometime in the fall, when Apple introduces a way for “closed apps” to send new message notifications and/or data to the device even when the app is not running.

reQall and Jott

Transcribe voice messages into e-mail or text quickly and easily

Access to these services previously required a phone call or a desktop computer. Now, however, you can simply speak into the device to record the message, as you would with a dictaphone. Once the recording is completed, both services transcribe your message automatically. This new version also makes it easier to access the voice recording function and previously-recorded notes.

reQall recordings are limited to a maximum of 30 seconds. The app can also serve as a fully-functioning task and memo application. Unfortunately, notes and tasks created by reQall are not editable, but a future version may include this capability. Jott’s recordings are limited to a maximum of 15 seconds. Its sole purpose is to create and organize memos, which are both device resident and fully editable. Jott integrates with a variety of other services, including Google Calendar and Evernote.

Extends the paper’s excellent Web app by downloading articles to the iPhone for offline reading. While the features are limited, the app puts shortcuts to favorite sections of the paper on the main screen.The search function works quickly and efficiently. The biggest downside is that it takes a lot of time to sync with the Times’ server.

Pandora

Creates and streams custom radio stations directly to your device

Once you create your radio stations, music is streamed to your device over an active data connection, through a simple Web interface. You can only skip six songs per hour per station. Fortunately, Pandora is so adept at selecting appropriate music, you won’t want to skip songs very often.

Remote

Turns the iPod touch or iPhone into a remote control for iTunes and Apple TV

The remote control created by this app is far more powerful than the one included by Apple (with desktop Macs only—laptops require a separate accessory purchase for $19). Remote controls all iTunes media such as the music player’s selection of songs, artists, albums, and playlists; you can even search your iTunes library. Functions include all those found on Apple’s standard remote control, with the addition of song tracking and an album art view.

Evernote

Electronic notebook saves and organizes Web clippings, Web pages and e-mails

Offered both as a Web app and a “native” (user-installed) app for the iPhone, Evernote is a superb electronic notebook that is ideal for storing Web pages, Web clippings, and e-mails. Once an account is created, you can send data to it with the press of a button. Evernote keeps track of everything sent to it, allowing you to quickly search Evernote for the desired content. The native app allows the user to easily create new text, snapshots, and audio or photo notes.

Google

Searches for data through the Internet

Through this app, Google’s mobile search capability is even more powerful than ever. The Web version makes quick work of basic searches. The native version lets you search contacts, Web sites, and previous searches.

eReader

View and read eBooks on your iPhone

This app lets you take your favorite books (in eReader format) with you wherever you go. While somewhat limited compared to versions of the program available for other platforms, eReader for the iPhone gets the basic job done. The developer promises that additional functionality will be added to upcoming releases.

Mocha VNC Lite

Box Office

Finds movie times and locates movie theaters (and their phone numbers) within a specific location

This app quickly presents a list of movies and/or movie theaters within a certain distance

1 Password

Stores passwords easily and securely

Mac users swear by this app for quick input and safe storage of sensitive personal data. The initial release of the iPhone version of the program only allows you to store passwords, but the ability to store other personal information and electronic data will be added to a future release of the program. Note that the developer may charge for future versions.

Cube Runner

A basic but terrific game

Navigate your ship through a field of randomly-placed cubes. Touch a cube and your ship explodes. Avoid them and you gain points. The game accesses the iPhone or iPod touch’s built-in accelerometer, allowing you to steer your ship by tilting the device in one direction or the other. This is a “proof of concept” app, but still a simple and addictive game in its own right.

Tap Tap Revenge

A fun and captivating game

This one tests your rhythmic skills. As “beat bubbles” slide down one of three strings, keeping time with music that’s playing, the player taps them to gain points. Although the selection of music is limited, the developer has promised to
expand its library of tunes.

It wasn’t so long ago that Microsoft was considered a dirty word. Dare to defend the company and the outpouring of scorn was enough to leave you wondering whose puppy you’d just shot. To be fair, the software giant hadn’t done itself many favours. Its response to antitrust investigations stopped marginally short of certifiable paranoia, while Vista turned out to have all the charm of a broken bottle beingwaved around at a bar fight. Office 2007 was brilliant, but conspicuously so among a product list that could cure insomnia.

Microsoft seemed adrift, bereft of inspiration as its empire was systematically hacked to bits by Google, Apple and Mozilla. Yet two years later and it’s once again the toast of the tech press. Windows 7 is good, but one product isn’t enough to rescue an enormous company’s repubtion. What on earth has happened? Is it really okay to like Microsoft again?.

The answer is yes, and the reason is that everybody’s favourite corporate bogeyman has done the one thing we never saw coming: its changed. It had little choice.Vista bombed, Bill Gates left, and Microsoft was forced to begin the tortuous process of reinventing itself. The first step was an unexpected promise to open up, which is bearing fruit through code issued under the General Public License and interoperability agreements with Red Hat and Novell.
Then came the products. The sweeping changes made to Office 2007 had already shown that Microsoft understood it could no longer consider its cash cows sacred, but the fact its taking the fight to Google with an online version of Office 2010 is impressively bold.

Apple had a field day with Vista, but Windows 7 is brilliant. And the excitement isn’t only confined to the headline stuff; Photosynth, Seadragon, Silverlight, Surface, Project Tuva - all of these suggest a company brimmingwith ideas.

Project Tuva, for example, is the title of a series of physics lectures conducted by Manhattan Project collaborator Richard Feynman in the 1940s and now posted online. Google’s been banging on for yeas about making all the world’s information searchable, but Project Tuva isn’t only about indexing historical data, it’s an object lesson in howto present complex information (using Microsoft’s own Silverlight, let’s not forget). A timeline beneath the video is peppered with additional content, including formulas, definitions and audio commentary from noted physicists.

Its ambitious, slick and brimming with the confidence that’s been so lacking from Microsoft’s products in recent years. It seems odd to accuse Microsoft of performance anxiety, but if you want to know how a company perceives itself you need only look at its advertising - and its reaction to others’. Apple’s “I’m a PC” adverts had all the subtlety of a Geordie chat-up line, but Microsoft was dumbswuck. This cluelessness was most devastatingly summed up by Bill Gates’ response to the ads in an interview: ‘I don’t know why Apple is acting like it’s superior. I don’t even get it What are they trying to say?” he whined.

The answer was indicative of the fact that Gates didn’t understand the importance of presentation - everything he did was a mental pursuit, aesthetics he left to people who looked at their clothes before puttingthem on in the morning. However, Steve Ballmer has always been more commercially savvy, and heed of Gates’ presence Microsoft has started throwing punches of its own. The strategy is simple. Advertise your own products with humour, and take a sledgehammer to those of your rivals-The Laptop Hunter ads highlighting the “AppleTax” have been so successful that Apple is reportedly ready to call in the lawyers. That sound you can hear isthe Jobs mob running face first into the walls of its glass house.

And it isn’t only Ballmer who’s blossomed since Gates’ departure. Ray Ozzie has picked up Bill Gates’ technical mantle and seems obsessed with transferring Microsoft’s desktop hegemony to the *cloud*. Perhaps its most important general, however, is Steven Sinofsky, the man responsible for Office 2007 and Windows 7. An engaging speaker and engineer, Sinofsky also understands the importance of puttingthe user first. Sinofsky is everything Microsoft has been missing and could very well prove to be the company’s own Steve Jobs.

So, it’s all rosy in Redmond then? Not quite.The patent infringement suit aimed at TomTom is indicative of a continued suspicion of open source, and Internet Explorer 8 was too conservative to be interesting. It will also take a long time to shake off the EU, which still wants its pound of flesh for alleged anticompetitive practices. There’s no doubt Microsoft has made plenty of mistakes during its tenure as king of the hill, but the signs are good. So good, in fact, that if it continues down this road we may yet leam to love this most unlovable of companies.

Hardware

The glossy-black Pre has a curved slider body that’s dominated by a 3.1-inch, 320-by-480-pixel capacitive: touch display. At 3.9 by 2.3 by 0.7 inches, the p~ is incredibly pocketable; it even fits unobtrusively into a woman’s jeans pocket.

But the keyboard feels a bit flimsy, and some of my colleagues found the keys quite: cramped. One positive: note: I encountered no lag between my typing and the text’s appearance: on screen.

Call quality over Sprint’s 3G network was very good overall, though I heard an echo on one call to a landline phone. Parties on the other end said my voice had ample volume and sounded very clear-even when I was on a busy street corner. None of my calls dropped.

In our battery life tests, the Pre earned a word scon: of Fair, with only 5 hours, 17 minutes of average battery talk time (the iPhone lasted for 5 hours, 38 minutes). The Pre lacks removable memory: The unit comes fixed at 8GB of storage. You can tether the unit to a PC with a USB cable, and then transfer files directly from the PC to the phone.

To control the Pre, you usc a small number of primary gestures on its touchscreen and in its gesture area, located below the display. On the back arc the camera lens and the removable battery.

WebOS

With the Pre, Palm debuts its long-delayed cell phone operating system, WebOS. I found it to be one of the silkiest and bcst-designed smartphone platforms to come along in a while.

Nevertheless, it docs have a few quirks. Apps occasionally loaded slowly, and the organization and placement of certain features sometimes seemed counterintuitive.

The home-screen interface has customizable application widgets running at the bottom. Touch a widget, and the app instantly pops up. But you can display only four shortcuts at a time.

WebOS can handle full multitasking. You can view each of your open apps at once, shuffle them, and then discard the ones you want to close-all with gestures that mimic the way you’d handle a physical deck of cards.

WebOS also has a great notification feature-a small alert that pops up at the bottom of the screen when you receive an incoming phone call, text message, or e-mail.

Social Networking Features

On of the most important components of Web OS is its ability to synchronize and synthesize information from various sources into a single seamless, integrated view. For example, you can sync the Pre to your Google, Facebook, and Microsoft Exchange accounts; it will pull your contacts from those accounts into the Pre’s Contacts app. However, I found this feature a bit overwhelming (you must sync either all or none of your contacts).

The Synergy e-mailapp makes checking and scarching through multiple e-mail accounts easy. And the Pre’s Messaging app combines SMS and instant messaging under a single umbrella.

The Pre’s full-HTML Web browser renders pages beautifully. You can have as many browser windows open as available memory allows.

Other apps on the Pn: include the Amazon MP3 store, Google Maps, YouTube, a calculator, a PDF viewer, a document viewer, a task Jist, and a memo board; Sprint apps an: on board, too.

Mult imedia

Syncing your media with the Pre is a snap. You can load your musk via ITunes or do it manually with an easy drag-and-drop. Pre users will have access to Amazon’s Mobile Music Store. The store Simplifies the task of downloading DRM·free tracks directly to the phone.

Video quality on the Pre’s gorgeous display was quite good. Its video player supportS MPEG-4, H.263, and H.264 formats. The camera is adequate, offering 3 megapixels and an LED flash, but no zoom; it took satisfactory pictures, but doesn’t have a video recording capability.
