Trying To Stay Connected: PDA WiFi

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

There are many electronic gadgets on today’s market that are available to the consumer.  Some of these electronic gadgets are designed for entertainment purposes and some of these electronic devices are designed to streamline one’s busy schedule.

One such electrical device that is designed with the busy person in mind is the PDA.A PDA stands for personal digital assistant.Specifically, a PDA is a hand held organizer that is a standardized with certain functions already installed on the device. 

Also, there are other peripheral applications that may be incorporated on a PDA.  One of those productive applications is WiFi or wireless fidelity.  This is an application that is either built into the PDA or has the capability of hosting a WiFi card.  This WiFi capability allows the user to utilize the internet through their PDA or some organizers have PDA GPS Wifi capabilities which are extremely helpful for business travelers.

Therefore, if considering the purchase of a fully functional PDA it is important to consider the WiFi application.  Subsequently, when considering this application, it is import to know how a PDA WiFi works and whether one wants a built in PDA WiFi or not.

How A PDA WiFi Works

First of all, when in the market for a personal digital assistant, it is important to know whether or not the unit is equipped with WiFi.  This can be easily accomplished by conducting research on a number of units and looking to see what the particular specifications of the PDAs are.  Generally, the specifications list whether or not it has the capability of WiFi.

Once the potential buyer has established that the unit is WiFi capable and is purchased, then the unit is simply powered and the owner goes to the WiFi setup icon on the application display.  Often, the screen is sensitive to touch and is activated through the use of a stylus.  Simply tap the WiFi setup icon with the stylus and follow the instructions that are displayed on the screen. 

Eventually the screen will display networks that are available to the user so that they can access that network and go online.It is also very important to note that many of the networks that are displayed on the WiFi setup screen will have a lock icon displayed next to the systems that have been identified.  Therefore, unless the individual has permission to access these networks, they will be locked out from gaining access.

Following this step, the individual, using the stylus, taps the network of choice.  Following this step the screen will display whether or not the WiFi setup is complete and whether an internet connection has been establish.   Once the setup is finished the PDA Wifi can be used to go online by tapping the internet browser icon on the unit.

Maybe With or Without

One other important aspect of utilizing a PDA WiFi is whether the consumer wishes the WiFi card to be installed internally on the PDA. The main advantage of having the card internally installed on the PDA is that the unit is ready to go in any given moment without having to insert the WiFi card.However, it is important to note that these units are much more expensive because of this added internal application.

On the other hand, the purchase of an external WiFi card is an additional cost and therefore, it is important for the consumer to note that once the card has been purchased they may eventually reach the same total buying cost as if they were to buy the WiFi card separately.

What voip providers allow you to keep your existing phone number?

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I really wanted to use magicJack because it seems easy enough and I’ve heard so much about it, but it’s been over 1 to 2 years since they promised to offer the ability to keep your phone number…and they still haven’t.

Anyone have any recommendations for a voip that is easy to install, has great call quality, no problems with emergency calls (911 can locate you immediately), etc.?

I have the MJ, but so far you can not port your number and I wont be anytime soon!

Almost all other VoIP providers will port your number!

I use Packet8 for many years now and really like it! and yes I called E911 several times already! My town is wired for E911. Many of my neighbors work from home and have VoIP and the MJ….I really can not tell you who is the best, because with VoIP….it either works or not….nothing in between…!

its the law now that cell and VoIP provider have to port your number!

What free/shareware software is available to audibly improve a voice recording?

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I have a voice recording as a WAV file and I would like to a remove a chunk of speech in the middle and to minimise interfering background noise. I would also like to convert to MP3.
Many thanks in advance

Audacity is excellent but you will need to download the lame encoder in order to export to mp3; I prefer Wavepad because it is much easier to use
http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html

click on “download wavepad” for the free version; if prompted to download additional software during installation, DON’T as it isn’t free. Just install wavepad
Go to open file to load your wav file; it has a ton of features which you will find under EDIT or EFFECTS. When you are satisfied, go to File>Save File As and select mp3 from the menu.

Is high FPS video recording possible on a Windows Mobile device?

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Is high FPS video recording possible through the use of different software on a Windows Mobile device?

Or is this limited by the camera on the device itself?

It’s limited firstly by the camera on the device itself, my 2.0Mp one on my HTC s710 doesn’t have the quickest framerate because of this. It’s also limited by the speed of the processor.

Is it possible? I guess it would be if you could get one with a decent camera/processor combination.

Large Increase in Spyware Online in January

Friday, February 20th, 2009

During the last two weeks of December and through out January is the biggest time of year for people to get infected online.  This trend has been the same for the last several years and the amount of systems getting infected only increase each year as more and more people surf the web.

Types of Viruses beign released

The most common threats people tend to run into and get infected with are Virtumonde and Vundo.  Check out this virtumonde and vundo to learn more about this threat and what they both do.  Both are from the same family of spyware and can be very hard to remove.  Once infected with these types of  viruses you will get constant pop-ups and re-directs.  Most people also have fake security software installed on their computer as well as a possible desktop highjacker.If you ever do get infected you do have a great option.  This Computer Repair
site for instance offers online computer repair and it’s done right then and there.  It’s really a great service.

Ways to Stay Safe Online

The best way to stay safe online is to have a good antivirus and antispyware program installed to stop threats from getting through.No free client has enough protection.  All these clients are free for a reason.  They either do not offer front end protection or they are a lighter version of a paid product.  Yes it’s better then nothing but chances are it will do little to protect you online.

Another great way to stay safe online is to simply avoid sites you do not know and trust.  For instance if you are on Youtube and see a funny clip.  In the comments you may find someone saying something like “If you thought this was funny you need to check out this video,  It’s off the wall”.  People get curious and click the link in the comment and it takes them to a site asking them to install a video codec to watch this so called funny video.  Do not install the software as it’s most likely a virus.  Avoiding such sites is by far the best way to protect yourself.

How are Skype out and other VOIP calls routed?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

How does the call get from the public Internet onto the telephone network? Does Skype (and the other VOIP operators) own equipment in each country to provide the interface? Where is it situated, in each telephone exchange, or centrally?
Mali, the question concerned calls that go from the internet to land phones.

I believe your assumption is correct.
That seems to be the only real way to get onto the PSTN network. There probably has to be an Internet VoIP to PSTN gateway box situated at each local area exchange (or they rent one from the local exchange, the same as they rent the DID phone numbers and then re-market the numbers to users).

This is probably why SkypeIN is not available in all countries or all area codes. I live in Canada and we cannot get SkypeIN number in Canada yet (I've asked them numerous times in past years). I have had one in USA though.

Is it illegal to have voice recording cameras at work?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

our owners just put in voice recording cameras at our work. I thought that it is an obstruction of privacy or something even if we are told they are present. I live in florida btw.

As long as they notify you of their existence and they are not in any areas where privacy is expected (bathrooms for example), they are perfectly legal… They MUST inform you as to any policy for the use of the cameras and how the information gathered will be stored and used.
