the iPhones iUpdate of the day
Jun 27th
So it looks like anybody who is anybody got their iPhones already and have their reviews out. The big wigs were NYT, WSJ, USAtoday and Newsweek. None of the sites I thought would get em – got them. Strange, I was sure Engadget or Gizmodo would have gotten one.
Well, the reviewers ran down their expectations and what they actually got out of it. Here is a quick list of things the iPhone DOES NOT have. Any combination of these would be a deal breaker for me:
• 3G of Any Flavor
• GPS
• A real keyboard
• Removable battery
• Expandable Storage
• Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)
• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)
iOuch that iBlows! Here are links to the reviews:
Torrent Spy and ISOHunt will be filtering copyrighted materials for you pirates out there!
Jun 27th
Arrrrrrrrrr! No more copyrighted material will be flying around the trackers at two of the more popular bit torrent trackers on the interwebs. Is this a new trend? Will all the trackers fall prey to this trend?
How did the pirates get the birds to stay on their shoulders? Did they keep bird seed up there and do the birds use said shoulder as a bathroom as well?
Comments?? Questions? Hit us up in the comments!

Synching Palm Desktop Contacts with Outlook, Then to Blackberry
Jun 25th
I had a call last week from a user wanting to migrate his 600+ contacts from his Palm PDA to his new Blackberry. He seemed to think that we needed to order some special software for him to do this. The funny thing is he already had Palm Desktop software installed. He thought that the software was only to sync between his desktop and his PDA and nothing else. That is not the case at all.
The Palm Desktop software can export your contacts to a file which can then be imported into Outlook. To do it, just follow these simple instructions which I got from Microsoft Knowlege base Article 810930:
Export Address Book from Palm Desktop
| 1. | In Palm Desktop, click Address. |
| 2. | Click File, and then click Export. |
| 3. | In the File Name box, type Contacts. |
| 4. | In the Export type list, click Comma Separated Values. |
| 5. | Next to Range, click All , and then click Export. |
| 6. | In the Specify Export Fields dialog box, click OK two times.
The Contacts.csv file is saved in the My Documents folder.
|
Modify the CSV File
Before you import Contacts.csv into Outlook, you must create headers for the CSV file:
| 1. | Open the file in Excel. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | Click 1 to select the first row, click Insert, and then click Rows. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the first row that you just created, starting with cell A1 and continuing across to cell T1, enter the following fields to create header names for each column:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | Click File, and then click Save. |
Import the CSV File into Outlook
| 1. | In Outlook, click File, and then click Import and Export to open the Import and Export Wizard. |
| 2. | In the Choose an action to perform box, click Import from another program or file, and then click Next. |
| 3. | In the Select file type to import from box, click Comma Separated Values (Windows), and then click Next. |
| 4. | In the File to Import box, click Browse, find Contacts.csv in your My Documents folder, and then click Next. |
| 5. | In the Select destination folder box, click Contacts, and then click Next. |
| 6. | Click Finish to complete the import operation. |
For best results, when asked to map custom fields, take the extra five minutes to do that. You won’t regret it.
As far as the syncing to Blackberry part, since we have a BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server), once I included the new contact list in the users address book (Right click on the contacts properties, click on the Address book tab, and check on the box that says show this folder as an e-mail address book), the contacts synced with their Blackberry.
If you don’t have a BES at your company, you can still sync your newly imported Outlook contacts with Blackberry Desktop Software.
