Let's talk Palm

Recently I've had the opportunity and pleasure of being a guest on t4show's weekly podcast with Michael Manna. Michael is a former Palm user who has lost his true path and is currently using an iPhone. Through continued guest spots, I hope to help Michael eventually see the light and return to Palm.

Could your Treo save your life?

Could your phone save your life? Perhaps it could if you have MyRapidMD. I recently spoke to Damien Vallernaud, Chief Operating Officer of MyRapidMD, at CTIA. Not only can you keep your up-to-date medical history where first responders can find it, but right now you can get a free lifetime subscription....

Should you replace your voicemail with YouMail?

Using alternate voicemail with Sprint can be painful. Sprint customer service very begrudgingly changed my "no answer, forward" number to YouMail so that I could try it out.

(N.B. for Sprint customers: The customer service representative (CSR) who I spoke to assured me that customers can now set the "no answer, forward" number themselves. Unfortunately, the code she gave me to use didn't work. So be firm with Sprint CSR if you want to take advantage of services like YouMail.)

YouMail has some innovative and fun features. The basic premise behind YouMail is that everyone should be greeted personally, and traditional voicemail doesn't do that. So while you can have a standard outgoing message to everyone, you can also have dozens of personal outgoing messages played to individual callers that you can change whenever you want. YouMail matches your caller's caller ID with your address book to give each caller a totally unique voicemail experience.

DotMobi

Wouldn't it be nice if domain naming followed a standard protocol? Vance Hedderel, Director of PR and Communications at dotMobi certainly thinks so. In this CTIA interview, Vance tells us the point behind standardization, and who is behind the movement.

With the plethora of devices available with internet access, it becomes more and more important for internet content providers to be aware of the needs of the consumer. It is even more important for those commercial content providers. Listen to Vince explain his thoughts about the benefits of this intelligent naming convention.

Do you need protection?

Much has been discussed in the forums about screen protectors. We almost universally agree that they are a necessity, but which is the best? That decision is about to become just a little harder. Listen to Kirk Feller, and watch him demonstrate BodyGuardz, a seemingly indestructible shield for your screen or your entire device.
