Neocore

…there wouldn’t be the issue with its connectivity.
I’ve tested the Nexus now for 12 hours and I never had a smartphone that was so fast, had such a brilliant display, a perfect usability and such a very flexible and modern operating system.
And I had or have them all: iPhone 3G, Magic, Dream, Droid, some Blackberrys [...]

… I guess we would have seen brilliant working, stable, fully integrated and tested clients in every Apple layer.
Google has surprised us with a brilliant idea, but with a bit confusing, instable and heterogeneous clients (especially for the mobile), but Buzz is free for all and available for almost every operation system and mobile.
Google created Android, [...]

It’s just that easy:
Read this related blog post and you know what I mean.
One year back we started with the HTC Android G1, and to be honest, it’s a good phone, but not comparable to the iPhone.
Now, 12 months later, have a look at the Top Five Android phones, and if you own the G1, [...]

I own two MacBooks and an iMac7. I’m buying Apple since 1978, so I’m indeed no one trying to bash Apple.
But besides the fact that the tablet architecture in general isn’t a suitable model for me and my use cases, because if I have the space for a tablet, I prefer my MacBook [...]

Many things have changed in the last 12-24 months. Google is extending and has widely extended its services.
As many news already have summarized: 2010 will be the year of Google.
So why shouldn’t we create a new job profile, a new job specialization?
Somebody, who knows all the services and solutions of Google and thus can advice [...]

That’s what I expected Google to offer since the start of Android. Now a new company from Finland created with the app Dazzboard something, what we Android users are heavily requesting:
The desktop client to sync apps, music and videos with your Android device, at this stage only for Windows users, but Mac OSX will follow.

Dazzboard [...]

Maybe we will learn something with the Nexus One launch (5th of January 2010) what most of us haven’t yet taken into a account and what will, in my eyes, compensate the biggest problem of the Android platform – the missing, native Android client for my home PC.
Maybe Google will offer a new software architecture [...]

Google is, no doubt, a, if not the winner of 2009, but, in my eyes, they did one huge mistake:
Their Android Appstore is isolated to the Android platform, at the moment, there’s even no client for the desktop clients.
If I had been Google I have had chosen to buy Sun, have had made Standard [...]

In the last days there is breaking out a fight among developers (and others) again.
Which is the best approach to develop mobile apps? Web or Rich Client (native apps)?
I say: Take the best of both and develop Hybid Mobile Apps, which look like rich clients, behave and will be installed like Rich Clients, but which [...]

Sounds crazy, do you think?
Maybe, but it could work, because the Internet doesn’t have to change their current models.
Content in the Internet remains free and Google, every search engine works as usual.
Paid content will be delivered by paid (mobile) apps. The user is used to pay for content in the mobile space, and that differs [...]

I’m a huge fan of Google, especially in the last two years and the last months with Android, Chrome, Chrome OS and many other creations of the viable Think Tank Google.
In the beginning it was just a Search Company for me and a welcomed antithesis to the powerhorse Microsoft, but now Google is the IT [...]

The mobile app train has started. No, to be honest, it even has received remarkable speed – in my eyes.
2010 will be the year of the mobile business app, but the Germans aren’t on the train yet.
At least I don’t see many or any apps of the largest 30 companies (DAX companies) in the android [...]

I like the Google wave idea, really!
But in these days and within the Web 2.0 space if you launch a new service you need a working mobile client (in my eyes), at least a service that works on new smartphones (like the iPhone or Android) and/or with 3 G speed.
Web 2.0 (or Mobile 2.0) [...]

I own/owned 236 handsets till today.
I have/had all iPhones.
I have/had nearly every Android Device, some BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile Handsets.
The Motorola Milestone is, in my eyes, the best smartphone you can buy – today.
Nothing more needs to be said… sorry, if I compare the milestone with the today’s possibilities I can’t find anything [...]

Nein, ist es natürlich nicht, aber hättet Ihr diesen Satz gelesen ohne diese brilliante, wissenschaftlich fundierte Headline?
Aber so richtig leben, so wie heute auf dem Desktop oder dem Laptop tut es meines Erachtens auch nicht, noch nicht…immer noch nicht?
Eigentlich werden die Handsets immer besser, die Displays immer größer, wir haben Flatrates und höhere Zugriffgeschwindigkeiten (alles, [...]

Viele werden bei dieser Überschrift jetzt kommentieren: “Der spinnt, der Alte”.
Ja, vielleicht und sicherlich hat das Handy zuallererst neue Abhängigkeiten erzeugt bzw. erzeugt diese noch heute. “Unfreiheiten”, welche es vor der “Handyzeit” nicht gab.
Ich tätige diese Aussage aber in einem anderen Kontext: Wenn ich davon ausgehe, dass wir Handys, PCs und Internet haben, und eine [...]

Nein, ich bleibe guter Kunde von eplus, und ich weiß auch, dass andere Provider bessere Zugriffsraten und Verfügbarkeiten bieten.
Deswegen bin ich auch nicht bei eplus.
Und ja, ich verstehe auch ein wenig von Webentwicklung, Mobility und Kundenbetreuung.
Und deswegen finde ich, dass ich das Recht habe, eplus hier zu kritisieren:
eplus “zwingt” den Kunden durch seine Tarifgestaltung auf [...]

Nun fahre ich schon eine Weile die Strecke Bonn/Düsseldorf mit der Deutschen Bundesbahn. Genau für diesen Zweck habe ich mir einen Vodafone UMTS-Stick inklusive Flatrate (für 29,95 im Monat) zugelegt.
Spasseshalber und weil man sonst nichts in der Bahn zu tun hat, habe ich begonnen, diese Strecke, in Bezug auf Online-Verfügbarkeit, zu testen und habe hierbei, [...]

Etwas anderes sagt diese neue Meldung bei Heise nicht aus, meines Erachtens. Und damit setzt sich der von den Mobileexperten und uns schon eine Weile vorausgesagte Trend fort.
Die Firmen, die frühzeitig und innovativ auf neue Smartphone-Technologie gesetzt haben (wie z.b. Apple, Blackberry oder HTC/Google) gewinnen trotz Krise deutlich und die klassischen Handyhersteller verlieren [...]
