<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have decided to change my blog name from iMobisite to MobilityInsight and will most likely close down this blog over the next few weeks, all of my old posts will be on my new blog. So visit my new site <a href="http://mobilityinsight.blogspot.com.au/">here</a></span>PPCApachehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04904243603746112872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531730913326209385.post-11818212129514307992012-05-02T22:13:00.001+08:002012-05-08T09:14:29.981+08:00My New Device... The Samsung Galaxy Note!<div><div><p>Almost two weeks ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note as a replacement for my Dell Streak that died. I found that I have been taken over again with larger than life screen. </p>
<p>I have been an HTC fan for years from my very first smartphone the HTC Apache (PPC-6700) and HTC Harrier (PPC-6600) I have used the HTC HD2 and just recently the HTC Sensation. I really like the look of HTC Sense and how it works. With the release of the HTC One X I thought that it might have been my next device, but if only it had been in BLACK! Yes we only have the white version here in OZ and I don't like white phones, yes I know that I can put a black case on it and not notice the colour... but at the end of the day it is WHITE! </p>
<p>I currently also own an iPad 2 and used to carry it to work and sometimes if we went out and about, but since I have had the Note I have only tuned on my iPad twice to check a couple of things and not used it. I am currently typing this entry using my Note, a Logitech M555b Bluetooth mouse and a Logitech Bluetooth Android Keyboard (which surprisingly works on my iPad 2, looking at getting a Samsung Tab 10.1 or Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 next year why I bought the Android version instead of the iPad one). </p>
<p>As I stated before I haven't used my iPad 2 all that much of the last two weeks this is because the Note does what the iPad can do and in some ways even better - using a Bluetooth mouse... And it is also a Smartphone so I have two devices in one. </p>
<p>With the implementation of the S Pen you have another area that cn be utilised even further and once more and more developers start to add A Pen functionality to their apps the Note will come into its own. This was shown by Samsung with the S Pen competition for developers to develope an app that takes full advantage of the S Pen. Total prize pool was $205,000 dollars. It's great to see Samsung actually wanting to throw some cash in the Note unlike Dell who turned their back on their loyal Streak owners.</p>

<br />
So far it works great, very easy to sync to both my iPad and Note, even the Home button works for my iPad and it goes straight to the main home screen.<br />
<br />
I will be doing a full review of it over at gadgetix.com so keep an eye out over there.PPCApachehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04904243603746112872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531730913326209385.post-88517691321159758032012-04-23T19:18:00.001+08:002012-04-23T19:18:37.596+08:00Day 4 with my Samsung Galaxy Note<div><p>So I have now had my Note for 4 days, I am not new to the phone/tablet as I had the Dell Streak with a 5" screen so the 5.3" screen on the Note isn't that much difference.. What is the biggest difference is a number of things.. </p>
<p>1. The Note is so much lighter than the Streak. <br>
2. The Note is thinner<br>
3. Samsung is investing money and updates in to the Note - $205000 contest for the best approach that uses the S Pen. <br>
4. Looks great also. <br>
5. S Pen! </p>
<p>Even posting this Blog post via my Awesome Note... </p>

I recently got my hands on Panasonics latest rugged camera the HM-TA20, for me
this camera meets all my needs as a parent and avid beach go, fisher man and
snap alcoholic.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
My kids love to take photo's and for Christmas the kids all got camera's but
we didn't like to take them to the beach, just to many opportunity's for it to
go for a swim. That was until we got the <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HM-TA20</span>.
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<u><b>First Impressions <br /></b></u>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HM-TA20</span> is Waterproof to 3m, Shockproof to 1.5m and dustproof all the hall
marks of a child friendly camera.
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The Camera looks great and feels solid and practical in the hand, as I stated
before in my teaser blog my youngest is 3 and can use the camera with ease, even
with my large hands I can take photo's one handed or with two.
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I was surprised with the actual size of the device, I thought that it would
have been smaller, so was impressed that it was a decent size.

<b style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u>The Ultimate Test</u></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have you ever been to a 9 Year Girls party with 7 screaming girls and throw in a 10 & 3 year boys you have a nightmare of a time thinking of ways to entertain them... not this time I just threw them the HM-TA20 and said have some fun. <br /><br />The girls loved it taking pics of each other possing and just having fun, when the weather started to change for the worst and we had slight rain, no problems the kids kept taking photo's knowing the </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HM-TA20</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> could handle it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Camera came through the ordeal a bit over used but other than being passed from many a hands no damage. Before I gave the camera to the little Princes I asked them that I would need their feed back on the camera and here is what they had to say...</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Loved it! was so easy to use..."</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Dose it come in Pink?..."</span></i><br />
<br />
<i style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"It was so fun to use..."</i><br />
<br />
<i style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I want one..."</i><br />
<br /></blockquote>
<u style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Things I loved and disliked</b></u><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall I personally loved this camea and so did my family, so much so it now has become and main family camera, I still use my HTC Sensation smartphone (8 mp camera) as I my personal camera as I have it with me all the time, but wouldn't want to take it to the beach. My wife Lisa loved the simple to use menu system and that you just took the photo and let HM-TA20 do it's thing.</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the end of the day that is what is the clincher for me its Waterproof to 3m, Shockproof from 1.5m (This was tested by our three year old from about 50cm, not a problem for the HM-TA20) and is dust proof... that is a hell of a combo for a camera any every day </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">family would want to use in Australia.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whether you are tramping the Kimberley, Snorkling at Rottnest Island or visiting the Perth Zoo, the HM-TA20 will be there through thick and thin, through sunshine or rain.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The only thing that I would personally change and its not a deal breaker is the menu showing on the LCD, why have such a nice large screen and have half of it obsucred by the menu? Why can't the menu be on a pop up, say swip up and the meu pops up or have a small menu button at the bottom right or left corner.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So would I recommend the</span><a href="http://www.panasonic.com.au/Products/Multimedia+mobile+cameras/Multimedia+Mobile+Cameras/HM-TA20/Overview" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Panasonic HM-TA20</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> , Yes I would and so would my family, the HM-TA20 was so much fun to use and got us to have fun as a family taking photo's of each other and around the house.</span><br />

In the mean time I have poached my wife's HTC Legend and using that till I get either the HTC EVO 3D (most likely) or the HTC Sensation...<br /><br />I am that frustrated with Dell and this stupid decision that I can no longer support or endorse any of their products to family, friends or work mates. Why support a company that abandoned its loyal customers.<br /><br />Bye Dell for ever....<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />PPCApachehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04904243603746112872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531730913326209385.post-2968758949907318962011-08-09T21:05:00.002+08:002011-08-09T21:05:49.886+08:00Dell Streak Pulled from Web Stores?

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Some of you may have herd through the inter-web grapevine that recently Dell and it's re-sellers have pulled the Dell Streak from their websites for sale. If you check Optus website they have the following image of the Streak with a sign at the bottom "No Longer Available".<br /><br /> Originally people thought Dell were discontinuing the Streak and turning its back on the faithful Streak owners? It seems that they may not have and that it might be possible that the Streak could be getting a re-release in August - will it be a Hardware revamp or (HOPEFULLY) software upgrade..<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Will it be Gingerbread (2.3.3) or Honeycomb (3.0), or even a Hybrid version? It may just have to be a waiting game... like most Streak owners we all check our software update via our Streaks daily.. I know I do... maybe to much?...Nah just to hopefully.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Hopefully all your answers will be answered over the next few weeks, fingers crossed.<br /><br /></div>

<br />
So far no further news from Dell on when Accessoires for the Streak 5 will be released in Australia, I had heard originally that there might have been a slight glimour of hope they would have been released at the end of March... However its now May..<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean how hard can it be? What is taking so long? As I stated in my last rant on this issue its just so frustrating that I can not get anything here in Australia and that I have to spend even more cash to get it from overseas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Will keep you posted on this saga... <br />

Ok I have owned my Dell Streak for almost 8 months (or so) and could not find any <br />
accessories - Chargers, Cables, Cases sold in Australia. Thats right you currently can not buy anything related to the Dell Streak (other than the Streak itself) here in Australia. If you want to get anything for your Streak have only a few options available to you<br />
<br />
1) Buy from the UK - Come on people that's not that cost effective still very expensive, for example the Car kit cost around £42.66 GBP so about $64.89 AUD then add shipping to this and you will most like get no change from a $100 bucks.<br />
<br />
2) Buy from the USA - This is a great place to buy for Australian's as the ozy dollar is at an all time high so better than $1 for $1, same example Dell Car kit is $39.99 USD about $37.28 AUD however that is where the good news stops then your wallet gets slammed! Shipping you could be looking at $35 - $60 AUD for it to be sent. No here is another hurdle to leap across you can buy from Dell.com unless you have a USA address! To get around this you can use some of those redirecting services where they have a American address that your purchase is delivered to then you pay a small % to the redirection company and they forward it to your address overseas. What a bloody rigmarole.<br />
<br />
3) Buy from Asia - This is what most people have to do in the ending as the market is closer, however most if not all are 3rd party and it is Russian Roulette if you get a dud and even luckier it doesn't fry your Streak if you bought a charger.<br />
<br />
I have luckier than most as I am a News Editor for MobilitySite and have been able to request some accessories from some great manufactures like Otterbox, PDair and shortly Mugen Batteries - I will be reviewing the 1800mAh and 4800mAh batteries for the Streak, but I still have a bitter taste in my mouth that I can't get genuine accessories for my Streak. <br />
<br />
So why can't Dell sell or let Streak owners know when they will start selling their accessories in Australia, one so called helpful employee at Telechoice Rockingham in WA stated that the Streak is not that popular so no accessories sold by them or Optus... <br />
<br />
Ok that is my rant for the night... doubt that Dell or even Optus give a crap about their customers.<br />

If they are releasing 2.3 I hope they don’t draw it out like they did with 2.2.<br />
<br />
I remember when I was looking at the OTA upgrade last year and asking Amy about it. For starters I bought my Streak from TeleChoice here in Australia out right for $749 AUD and use it currently on Vodafone with no problems, I asked Amy when would we see the Official update for Australian Streaks, response was that my Streak (All Australian Streaks) was locked to Optus network so would get in December 2010 when the carrier released it… If it was looked do you think I could use it on Vodafone?… Just goes to show they haven't got a clue. In the ending I did manually update it to the Official ROM.<br />
<br />
Here is the extract from the Twitter conversation….<br />

Now I have added my Streak to this list with the use of a 3rd party Launcher software namely Launcher Pro+, I have looked at AWD Launcher, Open Home, Go Launcher but with these apps I was Not able to add a Dock background that looked good. <br /><br />Here is my current setup, really happy with it, nice looking and simple.<br /> <br /><br /><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/11/01/03/146.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/11/01/03/s_146.jpg' border='0' width='169' height='281' align='right' style='margin:5px'></a><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />PPCApachehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04904243603746112872noreply@blogger.com0
