The iPhone 3G Review

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The iPhone is one of the most popular tools to date. It was first released in 2007 and was one of the most advanced touch screen phones available. Other companies also followed, using relatively the same features to contend with the iPhone. Recently, iPhone 3G was also launched, taking the gadget a step further and making it one of the niche products available for consumers all over the world. Here are some advantages and consequences.

Knowing the Advantages

The iPhone 3G feature a multi touch screen. This means that you manage the device without the aid of buttons or a pen. All you need to do is navigate all the items on the screen via the slider and your fingers. You can zoom in and out, by simply pressing with your fingertips. The second main advantage is the accelerometer which has a quick reaction. This switches the screen resolution to either landscape or portrait quickly as soon as you twist the phone into a sideways position. This makes it highly advantageous for gaming purposes.

The iPhone 3G also boasts having excellent sound quality. The iPod was bundled with the iPhone, so you can expect the same quality of sound when playing games, listening to music and other audio playbacks. The sound quality when you are making calls is not compromised.

More Benefits

The gadget features an ergonomic design. It is very trendy and stylish. It also easily fits into your palms very well. Aside from the modern design, you get to appreciate the quality build and durable plastics incorporated in the tool. The iPhone is also one of the fastest mobile units around, featuring high speed 3G and Wi-Fi. You get to browse the internet, read and send email and do other functions online. There are special sites optimized particularly for the iPhone.

There is excellent GPS navigation, because of the bundled GPS locator. Google Maps is also part of the collaboration, allowing you to get easy and simple directions while on the move. The iPhone App store also offers some of the best GPS applications ready for download.

Network Capabilities

As for the network, you get to enjoy quick and easy networking and synchronization. The iPhone 3G may lack MMS and instant messaging, but you can still get several email support like Yahoo Mail and Gmail. You get to have real time synchronization too, via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync service. This will come particularly handy in business.

There is also the smart keyboard that immediately alters the button placement, thereby supporting 21 languages.

You get to have a consistent appearance and feel over every iPhone widgets present on the App store.

Michael Jackson – His music will live forever!

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

A childhood hero for many and a master music titan. With some of his songs containing  a magic that keeps the track fresh no matter what year you listen to it in. In my opinion no other artist has ever done this. I heard his track Billy Jean after many years and it’s still got the fresh , new ageless beat to it total genius. I’ve pulled out the old records and will be listening to the great music he left behind for us.

This is my Tribute to Michael Jackson- The Legendary King of pop. Blessed was your music!

I was bad, my parents told me off! A smooth criminal in my own right. I always wanna be startin somthin,, I did the moon walk and I watched moon walker and imitated your dance moves and grabbed my……… I told people to beat it and had many thrilla nights. Your music helped me out of a jam when i hid in the closet because there was someone in the dark.. who is it I said before I scremed……. billy jean she said. I cant help it the girl is mine it was off the wall what can i say its only human nature just dont stop till you get enough. I wanted to rock with you working  night and day. My girl firend kicked my butt but shes out of my life,  I cant help it, its the falling in love thats when you cry oh baby be mine be the lady in my life and she  says we’re just good friends but another part of me just cant stop loving you so just leave me alone, the way you make me feel is dangerous. That’s when i would say you are not alone, 2 bad she would say. She was just a heart breaker but it made me invincible…. I said baby you rock my world before I started to cry and had butterflies in my tummy… was like getting shocked with 2000 watts of morphine. Boy is that scary. It makes you feel unbreakable and you say heaven can wait i got to keep the faith and Heal the world, make it a better place…. for you and for me and the entire human race… black or white it doesn’t matter just give into me and remember the time and fly away. I’m starting with the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways……if you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change . Will you be here with me, or don’t you care about us, lets come together, you are not a lone… we will make history  so smile this time around and don’t be speechless …you are my life…. what ever happens don’t be threatened…. we are the world, we are here to change the world, we’ve had enough… don’t walk away  lets burn this disco out!

ACTION – Courtesy of Ron G Holland – Top Biz Guru

THE GREAT SECRET OF LIFE IS ACTION THROUGH NON-ACTION

I am a great believer and practitioner of eastern philosophy. I have also benefited tremendously from practices such as meditation and visualisation.

I am the first to confess that most of my BIG ideas and success ideas (Eurekas!) have come as a result of first feeding the subconscious mind tremendous input of the outcome that I want to appear in the real world, and then taking time out relaxing, letting go, and giving time for the assimilation in the subconscious (gestation) and then wait patiently for the outcome.  (illumination)

This is how I solve problems of my own and of my clients, often with staggering and usually highly profitable results.

WHEN NOTHING GOES RIGHT

Wouldn’t that be a perfect world? Where you just visualise what you want and it happens? Well for most part that is exactly what happens and I know over a thirty year period I have created many millionaires, world champions and other success stories by getting clients and seminar attendees to do just that!

HOWEVER, it always pragmatic to recognise the other side of the coin. When things don’t come together, when you can’t visualise positive outcomes and when everything seems to go wrong.

I remember a specific instance in 1990 when I was doing my Australian tour, promoting Talk and Grow Rich. Unfortunately there was an air
re-fuelers strike and we couldn’t complete the leg of the journey that was to take us to Perth and Darwin.

I went walkabout and got into my mind, trying to work out a strategy for getting seminars and book promotion back on track. I was trying to visualise a way out of  the nightmare scenario that had brought my colleague Neal Lyster and I, to a grinding halt.

Neal wasn’t sympathetic. He said and rightly so ‘I can see what you are doing. You are waiting for a Eureka to jump and show us the way forward. But I think we should spring into action, do the best with the tools we have and keep moving forward.’

His idea was that we drive back to Melbourne and start a series of seminars and meeting in local hotels. Neal knew that the lead time to getting bums on seat is often grossly underestimated and to this he countered, ‘We have just do a series of seminars in Melbourne, let’s invite all those people back to another seminar, get them to bring their friends and also try some PR and other marketing. I know only a handful of people may turn up…but let’s work with those people and let’s see what we can turn it into.’

I was cringing at the thought of having to do seminars for maybe just a handful of people instead of organising properly and filling rooms. However I went along with Neal and we started promoting seminars, on the hoof. Initially one or two people turned up and I gave them the whole nine yards. At the end of the seminar we cultivated these people and very quickly a number of them lined us up with very large groups to speak to. The largest one was an Amway seminar where I spoke to over 1500 distributors and sold a huge amount of books and tapes.

As a result of springing into action and forcing ourselves into the flow of things, we created tremendous success. Yes we kept visualising and created all sort of ideas and opportunities, but give Neal credit, it was that ACTION that brought momentum into a dying project.

Your springing into action may well consist of mailing 5 or 10 letters, (not the 1,000’s you’d wish to) or making two phone or three phone calls to people you may even feel embarrassed about calling. Keep on with the action as well as the visualisation and a whole new world will open up for you.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO DO PLAIN PSYSICAL HARD WORK

I know the eastern gurus often get their devotees to do just plain hard work. That may be tilling the land, carrying water or chopping firewood. Just sheer plain hard work from early morning till late at night is often enough to completely lock up the left brain and allow the right brain to come up with creative ideas. You my find that by listening to classical music, jogging or working in the garden or taking a long country walk has the same effect.

ACTION FOLLOWS A DREAM

If you have a dream a list of goals you are trying to accomplish it much easier to spring to action because the mind is teleological ie it is goal seeking. If your mind knows your goals inside out and backward it will literally tell you what to do next on a daily if not hourly basis. Knowing what to do at 9am every morning is half the battle won, toward sustained success. Most people just flap around…all their lives!….don’t be one of them.
