Well, the version two of the very popular (really!) Tweetie iPhone application is now out. And you would be surprised at the increase in features.

Although it is a paid application, it is very cheap, just 3$. And for that amount, I would recommend even the Tweetie (Version 1) users to buy it.

Tweetie 2 has been completely re-written for the iPhone OS 3.0 and the speed is amazing when compared to the first version of the application.

You can integrate two accounts without a hassle, which is very convenient to those using twitter both for professional and personal uses.

But the real ace of this iPhone application is its “offline mode”. This mode allows users to tweet, read other tweets, follow and favorite even if there is no internet access. The changes are sent to twitter as soon as the iPhone gets access to the internet.

The final verdict is that if you are a power user of twitter then this application is a no-brainer. If you are a casual user, this application will make you a power user

So, Tweetie 2 is definately worth the little price it comes up with and would increase the number of tweets you send out by far.

See you on twitter

This friday, Adobe launched an app for iphone which will let users edit their photos on a fly.  The best part is that this application is free of charge and is integrated to Photoshop.com This means that after editing a photo, you can just save it in your photoshop.com’s account.

Another notable feature of this application is that all the editing that you will do on this application will be with your hand gestures. Yes, no sliders and no dropdown. I guess this is the only mobile photo editing application with this feature. It also makes a lot of fine tuning easier to do.

Although it doesnt have all the features of the computer version (Duh!), it still has quite a lot, including the filters, which perform various uses.

Overall, this is a great application to use (again… its free, so give it a shot) for the quick editing on the fly. The only hiccup is that the photoshop.com’s free account has a limit of 2 GB, but this again can be extended with a purchase.

If you are even a little photo savvy, I would recommend you give this application a try and let us know how it worked out for you.

The 3rd Generation phones or the 3G phones are here to help you throughout the planet. They include the use of always-on data access, higher voice capacity, and high data speeds. The other higher end features are live, streaming video.

3G uses two different types of technology standards they are UMTS and CDMA. The technology in UMTS is based on WCDMA and it can be interchanged. The other one is CDMA2000 which is the latest version of CDMA 2G technology.

3G has many features like video streaming using GPRS or EDGE, the access is slow but it works. The other feature is the live video with which you can watch Cricket Matches. Video calling with an additional camera helps to talk with the other person face to face. There is facility to browse with faster downloads. It is also useful for those who want to do high speed browsing.

Some 3G mobiles have a shorter battery life. This hampers the high-speed data download functions, making it difficult for longer use. Check out the battery when buying a 3G mobile.

3G phones are for the present generation on the lookout for reliable, best technology

If you are using any 2nd generation or any 3rd generation mobile phone service, you are most likely to have heard about the GPRS service. Now what is this GPRS? It stands for “General Packet Radio Service”. And as the name suggests, it is a service of transmission and sharing of data over the mobile phone services in the form of packets.
The best part of the GPRS technology against the traditional old-form circuit switching is that they are charged according to the amount of megabytes of data transferred in contrast with of the charging according to the amount of “on” time as followed by the circuit switching technology.
The “European Telecommunications Standard Institute” (ETSI) originally standardized the GPRS technology but now, it is taken over by the “3G Generation Partnership Project” (3GPP). It normally offers a moderate rate transfer of data through the using of the unused TDMA channels; TDMA stands for “time division multiple access”. It follows the GSM standards and was developed as a response to the earlier mobile communications technology like i-mode packet switching and CDPD, etc.
GPRS technology is one of the best packet switching data transferring technologies that has been developed in the recent times and it is one of the most popular of the mobile technologies of all time.

We all have been in such positions when we felt a little lost and we could not find out our way to our favorite hunting or fishing spot, or to the nearest airport for our business meeting. We just felt like if somebody would help us out with the directions to the place, thus saving us a lot of unnecessary effort and time. And that’s why we have the GPS with us. First developed by the Garmin, they actually stand for “Global Positioning System” and it operates due to a network of satellites that transmit coded data, mainly for the purpose of tracking locations on anywhere on the Earth. It was first developed to be used in military applications but later a decree was passed which allowed the civilians to participate in the fun.
It generally consists of three segments: the space segment (the network of 24 satellites), the ground system (the five ground stations, one master and four unmanned), and the user segment (any user with a GPS product). To determine the exact location, the user’s GPS device collects two type of data from the satellites, the almanac data that tells him about the orbit and the current location of the satellite and the “pseudo-random code” that tells him of the distance of the satellite from the user. And since a normal device can track the position and distance of around 4 satellites at a time, they can track their own 3-d location.
GPS is one of the groundbreaking and important innovations that has spread itself to all aspects of our daily life.

The telecommunications industry can be categorized under the top fastest growing industries in the global market. Well, of course there is no surprise that since us, the human beings are by nature social animals and we like to communicate with each other. But in this fast paced world, sitting down at a café and having chitchat face-to-face with your old friends can be a hard thing to realize. Rather you would run around at your boss’ whims and fancies. Well this is life.
But the telecommunications technology has helped us in bridging the gap and staying in touch with our close pals and relatives. A little device and we can always push a button or two to ask them if they had their dinner or if they are taking the medicine on time or not or if they have heard that Barack Obama won the election. And along with the innovation of the latest technology versions like 3rd generation, iTouch, iPhone, etc, worthy to be noted that the price of these products are also coming down day by day and thus it is turning from a luxury product for the privilege of the rich to a daily handy product of everyone.

If we have to cite one of the most significant innovations of the contemporary times and may be for the times that would be coming ahead, it has to be the internet technology. Internet actually refers to the world of computers from all over the world that are connected and networked together for sharing of information and content. Most of these data are being shared through multiple channels called the servers and it is generally done in the switching of packets following the standardized rules laid down by the “Internet Protocol Suite” (TCP/IP).
It all started when USSR launched the Sputnik which spurred US to take action and ultimately, after a chain of events, the term “internet” came into existence. It didn’t see any significant growth till 1990s but with the advent of the World Wide Web, as invented the English scientist Tim Berners-Lee around the 1990s, it started to gain popularity in the academic and the technical field on a large scale, and by the end of 1996, it started to see phenomenal growth and pervade in every aspect of the social life. And it has become an indispensable and very important part of our daily life, whether it is business, politics, social or academic.

They say we are in the Social Media where communication and networking is the key to success. You reach out to more people, you share your extraordinary thoughts and ideas with others and you are “present”. And these are made easier with communication technologies that are being developed every day.
One of such significant innovations was the Bluetooth technology. Now, what is Bluetooth? It refers to the short range open wireless communications technology used for exchanging data with high level of security through the creation of “personal area networks” (PAN). It allows a number of fixed as well as mobile devices to get connected and share their information and communicate with each other.
The Bluetooth works using the piconets or PAN.  A device can track and communicate up to 7 other Bluetooth enabled devices. The piconets are established when the Bluetooth service is enabled in the device and brought to the proximity of another Bluetooth enabled device. These piconets are established automatically and dynamically once the device enters the proximity of the radio range.
Another most important feature of the Bluetooth technology is that it supports both voice and data transmissions. It has resulted in it being used in the voice calling, faxing, printing and many other purposes. It has been a very important complementary feature to the telecommunications and internet technology, and has lots of uses in our daily life, whether it is for fun, business, studies or else.
