… at the cost of a $99 annual subscription to Office365, that makes it amongst the most expensive mobile office productivity applications around. I’m pleased that Microsoft has actually made the leap into iOS. I’m on record as saying their reluctance to engage on the iOS platform has been a costly, costly mistake. Millions of [...]

DEMO Europe: SimplyCeph shows powerful medical iPad app
SimplyCeph is a mobile and web-based service to manage patient records and design orthodontic treatments using an iPad to manipulate 3D models of patients’ mouths.
Trying hard to give Apple my money in their Regent Store… and failing
It is a seriously annoying experience trying to transact business in an Apple Store nowadays, especially when you’re in there at peak time. At 8pm today I tried to buy an iPad Mini, Mophie juice charger and another iPad Mini or full-size iPad. I hadn’t made my decision. I’d decided on the Mini and the [...]
35 days to get an iPad Mini on EE’s 4G service…
Both EE and Vodafone appear to be having serious stock problems with the iPad Mini. This is a bit of a problem for me as I was thinking of getting one from either firm; although on balance I reckon EE is my preference at the moment. Although I’m disappointed EE don’t have any stock I [...]
iPad Mini launch date ambiguity is causing all sorts of media panic
It is fascinating to behold the panicking media at the moment. They’ve now taken to posting genuine stories about a currently unannounced device. Only this morning I was flicking through smiling at the unabashed panic. The major thrust is that since Apple has not yet sent out invites to an announcement keynote, they can’t benefit [...]
Groupon’s iPad point-of-sale system for restaurants
Now this is an interesting and very smart move for Groupon… Deal-a-day company Groupon hopes to expand the use of Apple’s iPad at restaurants through its new point-of-sale service called Breadcrumb. The new service from Groupon Inc. launched on Wednesday in an effort to court more restaurants as clients, according to Reuters. The service is [...]
Apple’s iPad Mini pricing strategy… what do you reckon?
Brian over at Gizmodo has been giving a lot of thought to Apple’s pricing strategy for the upcoming iPad Mini. Even though it’s still unofficial, the pricing issue is one that’s keeping a lot of people in the industry up at night. Or, at least, continually challenged. How Apple prices the iPad Mini matters beyond [...]
American Airlines buys 17,000 Samsung Galaxy Notes for flight attendants
This one caught my attention — finally news about a big ‘mega company’ that IS NOT deploying iPads! Instead the iPad has lost out to the much more nimble Samsung Galaxy Note. This is a fantastic success for the team at Samsung. I would imagine that it will be good news for AA’s flight attendants [...]
Is anyone else finding the current iPad a bit too big?
I think it’s the release of the Google Nexus 7 that really changed things for me. Playing around with that, I couldn’t help but recognise the difference in size and weight between the two devices. Obviously. There’s quite a gap. The new iPad is flipping annoying, actually. The more I think about it. Oh the [...]
You’re seriously going to want a ‘Double’ for your office (and home?) this December
I came across this absolutely genius concept the other day: Double Robotics. It’s basically iPad-powered telepresence. If you’d like to participate in a meeting but you’re 3,000 miles away, you have limited and generally rubbish options: – Teleconference – Slightly better teleconference with one of those Polycom units – Skype, but that doesn’t work well [...]
$199 for the Microsoft Surface? Now that would set the market alight…
Everyone and their dog has picked up the rumour-cum-possible-fact originally cited by Engadget that Microsoft will shortly offer their Surface (Windows RT version) for $199. The tech blogs are full of standard he-said, she-said commentary — obviously a $199 Surface would sell a lot better than a $999 Surface. However I think the deal is [...]
Yet another example of iPads being used for self-service
I really never get tired of hearing about the application of iPad technology. I do admit that it’s getting a little bit… repetitive. I am slightly frustrated by the planet’s utter dependence on iPads, especially in terms of service innovation. Whether it’s a pub deploying iPads to allow patrons to order food or a hotel [...]
