App of the Day - Stream iTunes to your iPhone



By rhett ~ September 23rd, 2009. Filed under: 411zone, Techzone | .

This is a super cool app and its only about $6.  This app lets you stream your pics and music that you can’t get to fit on your iPhone.  This app does have a few issues when moving from 3G to Edge networks but overall its a great app and a great way to have all your tunes with you no matter where.  Another limitation to be aware of is that you cannot stream any tunes that you bought on iTunes.  Kinda stinks but thems the rules.  Hope you all enjoy this app as much as I do.

3 Thoughts on the future of computing….



By rhett ~ September 22nd, 2009. Filed under: 411zone, Techzone | .

Smart phones will be replacing our laptops and desktops soon, or it may be something more like the tablet that we keep hearing rumors from Apple of.  Now matter how it is the future of computing is going to be changing.

1. We will begin to keep all our info and personal data organized in cloud computing environments or possibly we will have ways to compress it more that we ever imagined.

2. we will use our smart phones as our primary computers but for the constant daily use we will have keyboards, monitors and mice to connect them to at our permanent workstations.

3. No more worry of having the right app at the right computer or the file you need when you need it.  We wil have all our info with us at all times since it will be accessed through our smart phones.

There are just some of my preliminary thoughts on computing in our future but I am sure that I will have some other thoughts soon.

Gadget of the Day - Increase your Blackberry screen size!



By rhett ~ September 22nd, 2009. Filed under: 411zone, Techzone | .

This product by Redfly is a super cool idea and has alot to do with my next post that will be coming out today.  This product looks like a netbook but it so much less, LOL.  It is a machine that allows you to see and control all on the screen of your Blackberry over bluetooth.  This little machine makes the experience on your smartphone so much better.  While some feel this would be a waste when it cost about as much as a netbook but I can see two benefits to it.

1. if you lose this machine you have not lost your information and also you don’t have to worry about someone else getting ahold of your personal info.

2. you can use your phone’s internet access without needing to find a wifi spot or paying the montly fees for wireless internet from your cell phone provider.

App of the Day - Print and Share



By rhett ~ September 22nd, 2009. Filed under: 411zone, Techzone | .

This is an awesome app that most of you already know about but it allows you to print most anything straight from your iPhone.  You can do it over 3G or WiFi so no more wires.  Now this app as well as some others you will see on this site show me all the more why the laptop will be obsolete in the years to come.  I can see my iPhone, which it already has, take the place of the laptop.  We just need a versatile PC type of smartphone.  I have not seen anything quite as versatilve as the iPhone yet but I ahve heard good things about the Palm Pre.  Anyway, the Print and Share app makes it so you can work on almost any type of project on the road without your laptop.  All you need is a printer and some time.  Take this app for a whirl.

I have been hearing about this keyboard but was not really sure if i would like it but after seeing the video of it I would really like the chance to try it out myself.  Looks like a pretty cool addition to the iPhone, especially for those of you out there with sausage sized fingers.  Let us know how you like it if you have bought one already.
