Here is a link to Apple's lattest amazing iPhone that was found by someone. Looks really great. Not sure what res the camera is but everything else sounds pretty good... Well be a good few months before we can have this in our grubby paws... http://gizmodo.com/5520164/this-is-apples-next-iphone Have an awesome week... Colin

Well... The iPhone 3GS is an incredible device. So much power and ability delivered from a small hand held device. The apps are probably the biggest value as they deliver all kinds of valueble information never thought possible before... As a device, it is truely outstanding... BUT!!! I can't cope any more! For me a phone is probably more important... I run a business, I provide support to my clients, I receive important phone calls... If my signal is consistently rubbish and I can't do the simple things, whats the point? Very frustrating!! I have swapped the phone twice and the sim card twice with no difference... Surely I am not the only one struggling with signal issues?? Surely Apple and indeed 02 must admit there is a problem. If I was a yank, I would be sueing Apple... So my plan is to sell the 3GS and buy a 3G... Then hope the next iPhone has solved this issue!! Time will tell but needless to say I am a very disapointed fan!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

One server to be ordered... Windows server 2003 64 bit on one... Server 2008 64 bit on the other two... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

This is the link to download the OEM pre-installed Office Suite re-installation software. http://www.microsoft.com/office/backup/en-us/default.mspx After you fill out the information (purchase dates, email address and product key) and before you enter any billing info. you will have the option (at the bottom of the page) to download the software immediately instead of waiting for a CD to be delivered. You can choose which product you need (even the Office Basic 2007 suite) and download it straight away.

I had the requirement the other day to have a conference call with 3 people. Wow, it was so easy with the iPhone. Just add another caller and then merge the calls... Worth trying it out. Works brilliantly... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Planning new server installs for a few clients. Looks like I will be getting HP servers instead of Dell, can get a better deal on them. Servers will run server 2008 as that will work best for their respective environments... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

11:20AM - “We will be shipping iPads in 60 days.” 11:20AM - “So $499 / 629, 599 / 729, and 699 / 829.” 11:19AM - Cheering! “At $499 a lot of people can afford an iPad. 16GB is our base model. For 32GB it’s $100 more, and for $100 more than that you get $64GB. The 3G models cost another $130.” Looks like we'll have to wait till June / July to get one in the UK... Wonder what the UK price will be? Apple's exchange rate has always been very dodgy... Conclusion remains the same, can't wait to get one but will have to wait a few months till the first batch has been released and the initial problems solved and the next revised batch released to Market... Can't wait... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
