What every PC windows user needs.

A switch to Mac bundle!

This looks great from the guys at Parallels and enables Windows PC users to transfer the contents of their PC into a virtual machine running inside a Mac, using the Parallels Desktop 4.0, which I have used very sucsessfully on my Mac for sometime now.

This will also move a cross the Windows operating system, making a complete  copy of your PC on the Mac. It also includes some training videos, to help smooth the process.

So Windows user can now say goodbye to PC’s for ever!

Power cut

Well, I am sitting here in candle light writing this post as we have had a power cut since about 2pm this afternoon.

The strong winds today have blown over a tree which had bought down a power line that feeds our house.

I had forgotten just just how much we take electricity for granted these days.

How am I doing this post then?

On my WordPress App on my iPhone!………..which despite all the comments is really great.

I am now going to publish this post over the O2 network; let’s see if this works!

iPhone 3G – at last I have one!

 

Well it took a while, but I got there in the end and my iPhone 3G finally arrived on Monday 21st July.

I found it most anoying that as a business user, O2 would not take an order and simply deliver when they had stock in, but in the end this is what happened.

Best bits so far:-

A baby iMac in my hand.

Email, Contacts & Calender syncing with my desktop.

Slickness of the phone & visual voice mail.

Phone & iPod in one.

 

 Best Apps:_

Remote – drives iTunes from your iphone.

Twinkle – if you do Twitter.

Shopping List.

SplashID – for all your logins & passwords.

Chopper – a helicopter flying game.

Crash Kart – a driving game.

Things need improving ASAP:-

Better battery life please. 

Where is the To Do list? – from Exchange/Outlook; I thought 2.0 was for the business user?

Cut & Paste

Things to improve for the future:-

Larger pixel camera

Video calls

 32 GB version

Blackberry,  who needs ‘em!

This also looks like Apple’s much discussed Exchange syncing is not

all we thought:-
