Not Actual Size

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Just got a newsletter through from Dabs4Work. Quite a useful service if you’re ordering office equipment — printers, computers, monitors, that sort of thing.

They’ve got an HP Mini at the top of the newsletter — pictured above. I had to laugh at the ‘Not Actual Size’ text placed on the laptop screen by the graphic designer.

I suppose some idiot would have ordered it and been really annoyed to find out that whilst the HP Mini is indeed small, it doesn’t quite fit entirely between the thumb and forefinger…

You can get one of the HPs here if you’re in the market for one.

SpinVox vs HulloMail — they’re not competitors

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I’ve seen a lot of conversation recently regarding SpinVox and HulloMail (whom we featured yesterday on the MIR Show).

In fact I actually interviewed regular contributor, Barney Craggs, last night at MoMo/Swedish Beers and he commented on this, thinking it was weird that we had James Whatley of SpinVox interviewing Andy Munarriz of HulloMail.

If you wnat your voicemails by text — I do — then SpinVox delivers. If you want to ‘own’ your own voicemails — that is, keep them in one place (e.g. your email) and be able to reference/forward/reply to them easily through your mail client, HulloMail is the way ahead.

I don’t think they’re competitors per se. I think they are offering alternative services — and that you’re very much one or the other.

However increasingly I’m finding that I’d like both.

I’d like to keep my voicemails in my inbox — AND get them immediately transcribed and delivered to my handset’s SMS inbox. I wonder if there’s a way for them to do business together?
