If you’re a RunKeeper user and have also reset your Windows Phone recently then you may come to the sad realisation that RunKeeper seems to be absent in the Windows Phone Marketplace. Rest assured, you probably aren’t mistyping the name or coming up against a glitch in the Marketplace but the somple fact is that …

Spotify Arrives Down Under
- By Boydo in Android, Content & Search, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Spotify, Technology, Windows Phone 7, Zune
This is already old news but I thought I’d write briefly about the arrival of Spotify in Australia yesterday. I did use this service myself a while ago by getting around the regional lockout but after some time it didn’t work properly. Now that the service is now available I am now turning off the …

- By Boydo in Android, ARM, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Processors, Technology, Windows 8, Windows Phone 7
If Microsoft is good at any one thing at the moment, it’s muddying the waters and casting doubt on the fate of existing devices and potential upgrades. I’m talking about nothing other than the uncertainty surrounding existing Windows Phone 7 devices and their ability to receive an upgrade to Windows Phone 8 (which will be …

Last night, I got along to check out the new range of Panasonic televisions, recorders, players and Hi-Fi out at Dunbar House in Watson’s Bay, NSW. The venue was very swish with some tasty food on offer and it presented a setting similar to what you’d expect to experience when you’d be using home entertainment …

Kickstarter Watchlist – Pebble Smartwatch
- By Boydo in Android, iOS, iPhone, Operating Systems, Technology
Here’s another gadget initiative that the iPhone and Android smartphone users out there might fancy as an auxiliary screen or control for their devices. The Pebble E-paper Watch is not quite the “Dick Tracy” watch that people have been after but I reckon it’s pretty close and a whole lot more. In short, this is an app-extensible …

BitLocker and iPods – Will They Blend?
- By Boydo in Android, Apple, Interfaces, iPod, Linux, Macintosh, MacOS, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Security, Technology, USB, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP
Leading on from yesterday’s article about BitLocker and the unfortunate situation that Mac OS X users find themselves in when BitLocker to Go is enforced at work when using USB devices we should also consider one popular USB device, the iPod. It may be a lesser known fact that iPods will use either HFS+ or …

Android Market Becomes Google Play
- By Boydo in Android, Operating Systems, Technology
I have long been critical of Google’s fragmented approach to offering content with apps being offered separately from music and books however this seems to be addressed in a new platform going live today. Google Play now replaces the Android Market and is a step up from the its predecessor in that all of the …

Mozilla Creating Boot2Gecko But Why?
- By Boydo in Android, Browsers, Firefox, iOS, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Technology, Windows Phone 7
Seems like a slightly crowded field these days for mobile OS market share. Up front we have Android and iOS while BlackBerry OS and Symbian are slowly being sucked into a black hole. Meanwhile, Windows Phone is carving out a small niche for itself prior to Windows 8 hitting the scene as WebOS is stuck …

Windows on ARM Comes with Office 15 Baked In
- By Boydo in Android, Apple, ARM, Cloud, CPU, iOS, iPad, iPhone, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Processors, Storage, Technology, Windows 8
For people seriously considering a Windows 8 tablet as their next tablet OS here is something that might sweeten the deal a bit. While the iPad has built in viewing capabilities for Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint slidepacks the ability to edit them as part of the base operating system is absent. The …

Restart a Stuck Samsung Galaxy Tab
- By Boydo in Android, Operating Systems, Technology
Today I was helping someone officially upgrade the firmware on a couple of devices (specifically a Samsung Galaxy S and the original Samsung Galaxy Tab) and unfortunately the Galaxy Tab had seized up and would not respond to any inputs. Even holding in the power button wouldn’t wake the device up from its seemingly infinite …
