Ride Along Video: Mapping With NAVTEQ

Boston.com did a quick video on mapping with a NAVTEQ truck this morning, and in there you get an idea of what the work might be like. I rode along with a TeleAtlas van a few years ago and saw the power of these mapping vehicles, from their sophisticated GPS tracking capabilities to track which lane you rode in to the cameras that captured the road signs all being stored in the onboard servers. Mapping and data collection has come a long way, and is not without controversy, as Google is embroiled in a struggle with an ever growing list of organizations and governments over its StreetView capabilities as it maps new roads and captures street level images as it goes.

Adobe Mobile Commerce Survey: 80% Of Respondents Utilize Mobile Web Over Apps

On the heels of our post earlier today regarding a panel discussion at the eTail 2010 summit over mobile apps vs. the mobile Web when it comes to a mobile commerce strategy, Adobe has published a new survey that should shed some light on the debate. Adobe’s “Scene7 Rich Mobile Commerce Survey” was conducted from July 6 to July 23, 2010, to identify businesses’ strategic and tactical plans for mobile commerce over the next year.  The survey received 446 responses from representatives at leading enterprises worldwide – with most coming from North America.  Of the respondents, it found that 80 percent of companies were planning, or had already deployed a mobile website, compared to the 8 percent of respondents that were interested in applications. Granted, Adobe has a vested interest in the mobile Web over mobile apps — as its Flash technology is more prevalent and accepted there — but the survey still sheds an interesting light

Naturally, as a dedicated globalist, my answer is “yes,” as I encourage any/all firms to consider going global.

Troubleshooting Connections to Exchange Server using HTTP

A major factor in moving from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 was the advantage of utilizing RPC calls to make connections from Outlook clients to an Exchange server. The specific technology for making these internet connections was RPC over HTTP.  RPC means remote procedure calls and allow your Outlook MAPI clients to connect to Exchange servers using HTTP or the secure HTTPS protocol.

Orange Launches Mobile Volunteering Project

In today’s modern society, the common claim from most people is ‘we are too busy’ as if life is somehow so hectic that it is virtually impossible to complete all the things we have to do, let alone all the things we would like to do. The impression is that despite the technology, we live in a world where the resource drain on our time is just too much, and as such certain activities suffer. The truth of the matter is, we are all actually in control of our own situations, and a few changes here and there would make a world of difference, it just takes a re-aligning of priorities. However, the technology we have day by day in our pockets, bags and purses can also be used in a multitude of ways to help us serve others who need help on a regular basis, without making too many drastic changes to the way we live our lives

Microsoft Arc Keyboard Review

Keyboard technology has been around a pretty long time. We’re not sure how long exactly, but if you are curious then you can always google it. When it comes to computer keyboards, there’s really not a whole lot of room for more innovation beyond adding more fancy buttons and shiny lights. At least, that’s what we thought before we were able to test out Microsoft’s new white Arc Keyboard .
