Gidday, Recently Gabi & I went to a seminar in Auckland regarding new computer products & technology. The two main things that stood out for us were firstly HP has a new printer model for around $180.00 which has this feature called (eprint). This allows you to connect this printer to your internet router & print to it from anywhere from any device with an email address like your cellphone or netbook. The way it works is during the setup of the printer, you assign it an email address so say you want to print a photo taken from your cellphone or netbook, simply email the photo to the printer email address & out it comes. You can email basically any document to it & it will print them. Cool As !
The other technology that is getting momentum is ( Cloud Computing ). Cloud computing basically allows you to create documents, spreadsheets & presentations on the web & are also stored on the web. Google has the option called “Google Docs”. If you want to try it out, click on this link http://docs.google.com . You will need to create a Google username & password or if you have a Gmail account, you can use that. If you would like to try the Microsoft flavor, click on this link http://office.live.com again, you will need a Hotmail username & password. If you don’t have one, you can create one.
NOKIA are just about to release a beautiful new device called a NOKIA N8, in Q4 they will be also releasing two other new models called C6-1 which is an updated version of the C6 that Vodafone already do now & a C7 and E7. I have pre-ordered from overseas the N8 so I will let you know how it goes. Oh it’s sexy. It has a 12 mp camera which can record 720p HD video. It can play back Dolby Digital & HD movies into your TV through an HDMI cable plus heaps more cool features. Makes an iPhone look old technology .
