iphone4 or BlackBerry
Aug 24th
With the launch of the iphone4 in Australia our team has been in a heated debate as to which phone our company should be using and promoting. The majority of us have used the blackberry storm but have been having several issues with it since we initially purchased them almost two years ago. There has been version upgrades which have dramatically fixed some of these major issues but at the same time one of my collegues has complained about missed calls. The problem may be related to memory I.e the more applications you have in the background the more memory it consumed. I’ve noticed that as soon as the memory reaches 4Mb the phone just slows down. You can reboot the phone or use quickpull to fix the issue but during this memory leak you might end missing important phone calls. I don’t know whether this will be the same case as the iphones but one of the main reasons why we went with the blackberry was because of the unlimited data download. There is a disclamer about the fair use policy but I ended up watching a full series of an anime and wasn’t charged at all.
So the iphone4 is very appealing because of the new apps like facetime and the speed. The blackberry is quite slow because of it 600 or so hertz processor.
Now I also use the blackberry as a storage device, just plug the usb cable to any pc and it will be mounted as a drive. Apparently you can’t do that with the iphone.. You need itunes.
In terms of apps, the iphone has too many and the blackberry is very limited. But we don’t play games so unlikely our decision will be based on this factor.
So which one should we go for?
Product Review: NAS Server
Feb 23rd
Where do you keep your critical documents and files? What would happen if your computer crashed and you lost everything? Ever thought about using a NAS drive?
This week we had the opportunity to play around with a NAS Server drive and are actually use this for our company’s data storage. With the amount of video, images and documents, we decided it was time to invest in a NAS Server – very useful device for storing digital signage content.
What is a NAS Server?
NAS stands for Network Attached Storage and is basically a network device which is used to store files over the network. There are quite a number of NAS storage devices on the market, but after reviewing well known brands we decided to purchase the QNAP product.
