Palm Pre Smartphone on Sprint Network

The Palm Pre Smartphone, aka by me ‘pow chica pow wow’, was a show stopper at the CES convention in Las Vegas. The Pre, coming soon on the Sprint network, was a surprise crowd pleaser: 1st because Palm isn’t known for stealing the show, 2nd because Sprint isn’t known for stealing the show either. Palm Pre uses the Palm Synergy feature to bring your Outlook, Google, and Facebook calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need. Read more below… Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic Partially Reviewed

“Blue” is probably the first word that came into your mind when you first saw the image above. “Odd” or “weird” is a close second, I bet. Well, those were my first thoughts when I laid my eyes on the new Nokia 5730 XpressMusic . The guys over at mobile-reviews got their hands on a Nokia 5730 and promptly made a partial review of the phone. The QWERTY slide-out keyboard is a nice touch, especially with its dot matrix font, but seems a bit out-of-place in my opinion

STI: Bulls failed to clear major hurdle!

Strait Times(1704) Near Term Trend:Negative I was actively considering bullish up move- counter trend- since Oct lows. The rally did occurred but in a very fragmented manner, with more ‘time’ consumption rather than ‘price’ action. See the inlaid daily chart, the index halted its corrective rally almost exactly on the ‘middle’ trendline of the equi-distance parallel channel

Should the design of the user interface be outsourced?

Many in the software industry are reluctant to outsource the design of their applications, and by design I mean the overall usability (look-and-feel, navigation, user experience, etc.). I do not have a definite answer, but I have learned one thing: BEWARE! While it makes total sense to have the back-end of the application developed offshore (whether outsourced or not), it is critical to carefully double check, when not triple check what the real design capabilities of your potential offshore provider are, if you do not want to end up with applications that are just unusable ! SMBs usually call existing references before selecting an outsourcing provider. Make sure design capability is one of your “must ask” questions. The reference certainly knows whether your provider has decent design capabilities or not
