Each Monday, I'll cover the tech trends, gadgets, business services,
and apps of note. The goal is to highlight not just consumer
flash-in-the-pan ideas, but actual developments that could impact your
business. Post in comments if you know of any other trends!
Be on guard for this one.Soft Winbo Key Cover decorates
your key in fashionable ways. Later this month, researcher Karsten Nohl
will present a new finding at the Black Hat conference in (where else?)
Las Vegas. Using a couple of hidden text messages, he will show how
someone might hack your SIM card by exploiting an old security code. The
worry for business owners? The hack can cause an employee's smartphone
to start sending premium text messages and rack up a huge bill, record
calls, or steal payment info.
As chips get smaller and smaller,
it makes sense that one device will have more on-board capabilities.
SanDisk announced this week its new Connect line, which includes a
portable flash drive and a larger media drive. The idea is to store your
files for an office or in a hotel room and share the data over Wi-Fi
without the need for a separate hotspot or router.
I really want
this one to be true. Apple suppliers, who are not supposed to spill the
beans about anything, have said they are working on prototype versions
of the iPhone and iPad with larger screens,Winbo custom keychain possibly
around 5 inches and 13 inches, respectively. (The current iPhone 5
measures about 4 inches and the iPad 4 is about 10 inches.) Why should
you care? As we move to the age of portable productivity, the larger
sizes might mean more power, better battery life, more useful apps, and
less eye strain for longer work periods.
Late last week news
reports showed Microsoft in a terrible freefall. The earnings report
revealed poor Microsoft Surface sales and a 11 percent drop in share
price. Is it time to rethink your office strategy by embracing
Chromebooks or the Mac, ditching a total reliance on Microsoft
back-office products, or at least ditching Windows 8? Let me know in the
comments if Microsoft's performance has encouraged you to make any
changes to your IT strategy.
Performance is boosted further by
the use of the latest 120 GB Samsung 840 Series SSD, which offers enough
space to keep a full selection of office applications. It'll also allow
Windows inevitable temporary files to swell in size without causing
low-disk space warnings. However, that is all the storage you get.
Without a hard drive any additional files will have to live elsewhere,
such as on your network.
An Asus B85M-G motherboard is
installed, which features easy memory installation via single-sided DIMM
clips and USB 3.0 ports with speed-boosting UASP support. The
motherboard supports four such ports, but only two are available for use
as the the case offers only USB 2.0 ports at front.
When tested
with PCMark 7, we recorded a blisteringly fast result of 5543 points.
This is well ahead of most of the competition,Online shopping for
Business Work Card holder from
a great selection of Office Products. with the exception of
Wired2Fire's Business Accelerate which features the same processor.
This
performance comes at a price: we measured power consumption and
processor temperature both when idle and when running intensive stress
tests and found that, when pushed to the limit, the processor would
reach 100 oC in around four minutes, despite being fitted with a
Xigmatek Apache aftermarket cooler.
It does what it says on the
tin. Your smartphone is cupped in the holder, which is itself plugged in
and stays firmly stuck to the dashboard; your phone gets charged
without the hassle of wires, and all the time its held in the perfect
position to use for navigation. The NFC capabilities of the charger
allow you to quickly access your favourite apps while its charging up,
and passengers can pop the phone in and out of the holder as they need,
without fiddling around with cables and distracting the driver. Ideal
for long journeys!
2. Its not always convenient for
office-workers to free up a USB port for phone-charging. Were pleased to
report, however, that this is no longer a problem anymore for Nokia
users. Make way for the Nokia Wireless Charging Platea discrete but
attractive pad that takes up practically no space on your physical
desktop (its smaller than most actual smartphones) and lets you charge
your phone without disconnecting your flash drive or your mouse. Super
simple to use, you just lay your phone down to charge up. Plus it comes
in multiple colours, for the high-tech cubicle fashionistas amongst you
This
ones for bedtime. No longer do you have to sleepily fumble with
connectors when charging your phone at bedtime: wireless charging mats
like the Nokia Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy allow you to just lay
your Lumia smartphone down on its own pillow on the bedside table, and
itll start charging immediately. The Plates, co-branded by furniture
designers, Fatboy, come in a range of funky colours, too, if you want to
coordinate your duvet cover to match. We certainly do
NFC
technology allows this futuristic gadget to stream tunes from your phone
and pump them out at up to 94 dB while your phone sits on top of it and
charges, wires-free. If youre fully charged up, Bluetooth will let you
stream the music from phone to speaker at a range of up to 10m. It looks
ace, and its got a bass output thats sure to get you dancing.
Impressive, huh?
Its simple: it charges your smartphone in an
upright position, so you can watch movies, check emails, browse the
Internet or flick through your music collection with ease while your
battery gets a good once-over. This makes life considerably easier for
us smartphone-addictswe can prop the phone up beside us at the computer,
at the dinner-table, on the coffee-table. The fun never ends!
