  • RIP Palm?

    Well this is sad, but, predictable. This article tells us that HP is dropping the mobile division, tablet and webOS.  Pretty much dooming Palm. Palm was once the leader, but, it goes to show you that a company has to be nimble and change when change is in the air (which is like…..all the time!).…

  • Vidyo on the Apple iPad2

    Damn this is great!   Friend Czoli from Vidyo shared this on Google+ today. I have said this a thousand times before: Video conferencing anytime, anyplace, anyone. Vidyo (see my getting old review of Vidyo here). — —

  • Cell Phone and Cancer Risk

    I have been talking about the issue of cell phone use and brain cancer on this blog for years. (here, here, here, and here). If you read those, you will know I did a fair amount of research on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, and that I have a healthy respect…

  • iPad 2 and Video Conferencing

    UPDATE January 2023: A HISTORY Lesson from 2011……enjoy! Steve Jobs (YES!) announced today that the iPad 2 will be released March 11th. I went to the spec page, grabbed the screen shots,  and tried to learn a bit more about the cameras (yes there are now two) and video conferencing capabilities. The iPad 2 will come…

  • Motorola XOOM

    Looks like this new tablet from Motorola may cut into the sales of the iPad. Can you hear me know?   Kinda late….but, maybe better late than never applies. It uses the Android 3.0 operating system. I hear it comes with two cameras, one front facing for video chats (video conferencing) and taking pictures of…

  • Cell Phones and the Brain

    Other than rendering an otherwise intelligent teenager a Borg like zombie…this article (in Bloomberg BusinessWeek) tells us that the effects of cell phone use on the brain is still not understood. They go so far as to say that they do not know if the stimulation of the brain near the cell phone antenna is…

  • Mirial Videoconferencing on Android

    See what happens when I pick my head up and look around….the whole world changed while I was distracted with the unfortunate events that lead to my development of ForCarol.com. See the video at the top showing how to make a call using Mirial (another REAL video conferencing company….sorry, I’m a snob that way!) and a Samsung…

  • Polycom Videoconferencing on Android

    Saw a tweet yesterday that announced that Polycom will be building a standards-based Unified Communications (UC) videoconferencing app on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Here is the link to the Press Release. Here is the official spiel from that press release: “Polycom’s differentiated strategy is to deliver innovative UC solutions on partners’ mobile platforms, as opposed…

  • Frozen Nook

    Never, even on the coldest day, has a Book ever frozen on me. I’m in the middle of a great book (Brad Thor’s “The Last Patriot”) and my Nook FROZE. Yikes!   Nothing I did worked.  Rats.  (I used the Nook app on my new HTC Aria to continue reading) Then I called Barnes & Noble…

  • Vidyo Mobile on the iPad

    Please visit Vidyo’s web site for a lot more information, but, for now…this is soooooo coooool. I’ll say it one more time:  Videoconferencing anytime, anyplace, anyone. This is the future….Vidyo is pushing the technology of mob…
