The long wait is over for those consumers who love Apple iPhone’s technology. Apple finally took the wraps off its 3G iPhone. Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware. Apple’s taking a lot of the criticisms to heart ever since they launch the earlier iPhone. 3G is at the forefront, but they’re also making sure it’s available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs Third party applications and does it all cheaper.

eBay For Your Small Business

Ebay for Business eBay is the world’s foremost online marketplace. A place for buyers and sellers to come together and trade almost anything. It has over 200 million global customers and can offer your product and business the exposure needed to this huge marketplace.

How does eBay work?
In a nutshell, eBay works by giving a platform for a seller to list his/her products. The seller then chooses if he/she wants to accept bids only (auction-type) or to offer a “Buy It Now” (direct sale) option at a fixed price. In an auction, the bidding opens at a price the seller specifies and remains on eBay for a certain number of days. Buyers then place bids on the item. When the listing ends, the buyer with the highest bid wins. In a “Buy It Now” listing, the first buyer willing to pay the seller’s price gets the item.

VoIP Fixed Mobile Convergence Solution for the UK!

This is a breaking news in VoIP for consumers and businesses who would like to save a lot on communications. I posted the entire news article here so that everyone could read it. This is currently available in the UK and I am hoping that Voicenet Solutions would make this fixed mobile convergence solution available everywhere. It is always good to have calls to our fixed business landlines be forwarded to our mobile phones using our business VoIP network. We may no longer have to give out our mobile numbers but instead just our fixed landlines since calls would be forwarded to our mobile. Right now, we understand the infancy of these technologies but we are hoping that soon these would be available everywhere not only in the UK but also to the rest of the world. We pray that Voicenet Solutions hear us on this one. :)

Site5 Web Hosting Service - Are They Insane?

Banner, 468x60px
Site5 recently launched their 5$/month web hosting services with 750GB Premium Web Storage, 7500GB Bandwidth & Unlimited Websites. Quite an impossible treat from a web hosting provider specially in a world wherein profits are more important than anything else. Site5 must really be insane to come up with such marketing plans. Insanity wherein they went all out to provide superb services sacrificing profits just to reach out to consumers and SMEs but without compromising flexibility and quality of service.

Achieve Organizational Efficiency for 2008


Achieve Organizational Efficiency for 2008A new national survey conducted by Office Depot says that achieving work-life balance tops the list of business priorities for 2008. It says that a majority of professionals surveyed (53 percent) identified improving their work-life balance as the leading business goal for 2008 and 39 percent believe getting organized will be the key to their success. You can find the full story from this link, Fox Business Story on Organizational Efficiency.

“This survey reinforces the downside to disorder - an inherent loss of productivity,” says Office Depot’s organizing expert Monica Ricci. “By implementing a few clear-cut systems and utilizing available organizational tools, professionals can manage the task of getting organized and increase their productivity. They are likely to improve their work-life balance and rediscover a passion for what they do.”
