iPhone + MS Exchange = Crazy Delicious
Mar 6, 2008 Technology
Anyone catch the Anyways, Apple announced today that starting in June, the iPhone will fully support Microsoft Exchange, a la Blackberry style. In other words, you can use it just like a Blackberry at work. I don’t use a Blackberry, but if I did, I would switch in a heartbeat.
Anyone out there planning on dropping the Crackberry for an iPhone?
Xbox 360 Dashboard Update
Dec 5, 2007 Technology
I updated my Xbox this afternoon with the Dashboard update. You can find the details of the update at other websites, but the one feature I actually care about was the playback support for Xvid and Divx movies.
My DVR crapped out on me last night, so the shows I normally record were, um, downloaded, so I wanted to test out the Xbox functionality. I currently do not have a way to stream the videos, so I burned them to a cd and played it off of there. It played perfectly, and looked surprisingly good considering it was being blown up to 50 inches.
If you have a 360, make sure you snag the update!
Trying Out the Zune: IPod It’s Not
Nov 9, 2006 Uncategorized
This is an interesting article on the new “Microsoft Zone” mp3 player coming out next week. He points out the differences between it and the iPod, including wireless capability, video and photo viewing, ease of use, and several other factors. He makes a great point, as summarized below:
Competition is good and all. But what, exactly, is the point of the Zune? It seems like an awful lot of duplication — in a bigger, heavier form with fewer features — just to indulge Microsoft’s “we want some o’ that” envy. Wireless sharing is the one big new idea — and if the public seems to respond, Apple could always add that to the iPod.
