Skype must be one of the most widely used programs nowadays, probably there is no computer user who does not know about it. People use it in so many different ways: free voice and video calling between computers, chatting, calling phones at very low rates. But do we really make the best use of Skype? According to me, we do not. The reason is very simple, we cannot carry a computer with us all the time. Even if one has a laptop, WiFi internet connection is still quite scarce, besides laptop is not a handy phone which one could carry in his pocket.
What if one could use Skype on mobile phones? That would really make it possible to make cheap calls everywhere (I mean not only local calls, which are anyway cheap with many mobile network providers, but also international phone calls). Most of us probably didn't even think about such a possibility. Some of the Skype users however know about a version for mobile phones but how many models support it? According to what is written on the web site, Skype mobile is available for all smartphones and pocket PCs running Windows Mobile as well as for i-Phone and a couple of Nokia phones. However, unfortunately it does not work on most smartphones and pocket PCs for a very simple reason - their processor speed is not sufficient for Skype to function properly. So, even if it is supported by the phone's operating system, it may not work because of the low processor speed. In fact, smartphone users have found that Skype works well on the phones having a 400 MHz processor or faster. There are not so many phones having such a fast processor. Some examples are Palm Treo Pro and all i-Mate Ultimate models. If you have one of those you do not need to continue reading this article, just install Skype Mobile on your phone and enjoy it. But some high-end smartphones, although fast enough, do not support Skype Mobile because they work on an operating system other than Windows Mobile (like Samsung Jet Speed with a 800 MHz processor, which runs a Samsung version of Symbian OS). And most of us do not have a high-end smartphone.
If Skype could be used on cheap and simple regular phones that would be really great. Will you say that it is not possible? Well, fortunately it is. To be more precise, Skype itself will not work on regular phones but there are some third party programs which can work on virtually any phone. Such programs connect to the Skype service and make it possible to make Skype calls from the phone they are installed on. There are quite a few programs of that kind, for example fring, Talkonaut, IM+ Mobile Messenger. The most popular one is fring because it provides good sound quality and does not incur any extra charges. Installing fring is simple. One can register on their web site and receive an SMS with an installation link. More advanced users, who know how to connect their phone to computer, can download and install fring via PC. Once fring is installed, one just needs to enter Skype user name and password to start making cheap calls from mobile phone. Besides, fring allows for free calls and chatting between the phones it is installed on.
What are the requirements for a mobile phone to be able to run fring? One basic requirement is that the phone should be able to connect to the Internet. Connection can be established either via WiFi or via GPRS or 3G. WiFi is preferable (if it is available in your phone) not only because it is fast but also because it is free. Connecting via GPRS or 3G may result in extra charges for the data transfer by the mobile service provider (however, if you have an unlimited data plan, you don't need to worry about that). Notice that WiFi connection remains free regardless of where you are. Even if you use your phone in international roaming, you will still be able to make the same cheap calls via WiFi! Another essential requirement is that fring works on mobile phones running Windows Mobile or Symbian OS operating systems as well as on i-Phone. That includes a lot of models because most Nokia and Sony Ericsson and some other phones work on Symbian OS.
What about the sound quality? It depends on the phone. The best sound quality is achieved on Symbian OS phones which must be due to the lower bandwidth used by fring under Symbian OS. However, even on Windows Mobile phones the sound is quite good. It may be not as good as for Skype on computer (which is by the way better than the quality of sound in conventional landline and mobile phones) but it is still quite good. For better audibility I would recommend to use headphones. That is especially essential for Windows Mobile phones because, due to an inherent property of Windows Mobile, the sound is routed to the speakerphone, no matter which program is used - Skype, fring or any other. These programs cannot use the internal phone speaker on Windows Mobile devices. Speakerphone's sound is generally not so good, besides everybody around will hear your conversation. That is why using headphones is recommended.
So, as a conclusion, my suggestion is, don't wait. Just install fring on your phone and try it. And you will enjoy making cheap calls on the go, wherever you are.

3 Easy Ways to Speed Up Your PC Without Upgrading
So you really want to speed up your PC's performance but you haven't got a clue about PCs eh? Well don't worry. By just doing following these quick and easy tips, you should notice a sudden difference in how your computer performs speed-wise.
So here they are, 3 easy ways to speed up your PC
1. Check your hard disk for potential errors
In Windows, you can use a Error-checking program to check for any errors on your hard disk, including file bad sectors and system errors.
To run your Error-checking program:
1.Go to Start, click on My Computer, then right-click the local disk that you want to check (normally it's drive C).
2. Click on Properties then click Tools tab.
3.Under the Error-checking section, click the Check Now button.... Just make sure you tick both boxes first, then once your done, click Start.
2. Don't use a program anymore? Then delete it
! Over the years, you or other family members who also use your PC may install programs on your PC. And these new programs are what you're wanting constantly so therefore you use them all the time. But other times, there are other programs that you don't use as much as you wish and you start to use these programs less and less until you totally forget about them altogether. However, Even so your not using these programs anymore, they still take up precious system resources that sap your PC's performance.
To delete these unwanted programs programs, Just:
1. Go to Start, then to the Category View and click Control Panel.
2. Then click on Add or Remove Programs, and click Remove Programs to delete that particular program.
3. Scroll through the list and see each program. Windows shows you how often you use a program and what was the last day you last started it. Please note: Do not remove anything that is labeled "Hotfix" or "Update." These programs improve the security of your PC and could actually hinder PC performance.
4. Click each program you no longer want, click Change/Remove, then follow the instructions to uninstall that particular program.
3. Defragging your PC
You may of notice that your PC, after deleting some of the unwanted programs is still slow. So what you need to do is defrag your computer.
To defrag your PC:
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, go to Accessories, then to System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.
2. Click "Analyze" to startup your Disk Defragmenter.
3. In the Disk Defragger dialog window, click the drives that you want to defrag, then click on the Analyze button. After the hard-disk is analyzed, a dialog box will appear, letting you know whether you should defrag the analyzed hardrives.
Tip: You should always analyze a volume first before defragmenting it to get a rough estimate of how long the defragmentation process is going to take.
4. To defrag the selected drive, first click the Defragment button. Please note: In Vista, there is no graphical user interface to show you the progress-but I guarantee your hard drive is still being defragged.
After you've defrag your PC, the Disk Defragmenter will displays the results.
Tip: Sometimes it pays to defrag your PC more than once to take sure it does a thorough job.

The Top 3 Desktop Computers in the Market Today
Sure a reputable desktop computer will have the most cutting edge features as well as the most technologically advanced functionalities on board. However, what makes a truly excellent system is that it should simply be more than just a sum of its parts.
Below are three of the best desktop computers of this year that will surely suit every individual's need - may it be for superior computing capabilities, an excellent multimedia experience, or just to show off one's style.
The Ephex (Maingear)
With an i7 Intel Core 965 processor, Maingear's newest desktop computer is definitely one of the fastest PC's around. However, with this accolade it would only be right that it is also one of the most expensive. At a whopping $4,000, the Ephex is definitely a system fit for those who are looking for the best in the business with price being a non-factor. This extremely overclocked system allows for record-setting performance when it comes to running games and applications. Its tri-SLI 3D graphics cards are also an excellent addition to further boost the Ephex's performance prowess.
Aside from being extremely expensive, customer support and service might be an issue given that Maingear is not entirely a mainstream brand.
The Vaio JS250J (Sony)
The newest addition to the long line of Vaio computers is the JS250J - another all-in-one-device that is capable of performing a multitude of computing tasks at equally excellent degrees. Much like its predecessors, the Vaio JS250J is also an excellent combination of high performance and top of the line home entertainment features - all this for a lower price than its direct competitors. With a price tag of somewhere in the $1000 region, the Vaio JS250J is also one of a few in this price range that has a built-in Blu-ray player.
Although it may not be as fast as the latest Apple iMac, the Vaio JS250J's Dual Core E5200 Intel processor (2.5 GHz) is able to hold its own. Along with its 320GB hard drive, the newest Vaio will also have a 4-Gigabyte DDR2 SDRAM to ensure high speed performance.
The 24-inch, 2.8 GHz iMac (Apple)
This latest version of the iMac is an upgrade of the one released by Apple a year ago. This one sees a few major tweaks, none more notable than the improved 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This enhancement provides relevant gains in the performance of the new iMac. Also, the added option to upgrade the graphics is another welcome addition. This 24-inch-screened powerhouse will still posses the sleek and polished look made popular by its predecessors. No one seems to be complaining as this design still remains as appealing as it was when originally released a few years back.
One of the downsides of the new iMac is that it only provides 90 days of free phone support. This means that iPhone users will need to shed off a few more dollars if they want to continue this service. This cost will be on top of the $1,400 they'll need to spend in order to get their hands on Steve Job's latest masterpiece.

How a Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Can Benefit You
In recent times, many people have found it necessary to search for cell phone numbers . The pool of numbers is constantly growing, which makes a cell directory extremely useful. There are at many ways that a reverse cell phone lookup will benefit you. Here are my top three:
Associate a Person with an Unknown Number If you have a cellular number, but are not sure who it belongs to then this type of search will allow you to connect it to the person's name. Performing the search is simple. Type in the cell phone number on the directory site and the name will pop up almost immediately. For those callers that call in but don't leave messages, you now have an avenue to track them down.
Contact List Organization If you have a contact list, chances are that it is somewhat incomplete. There could be numbers that you have entered or written down but can't remember who they belong to. A reverse cell phone lookup can help you clean up all of the fragmented entries in your contact list by giving you a name to go with the number. This is a great option for reconnecting with old business contacts or old friends.
Find out who is Calling You If you find it necessary to screen your calls but the callers don't leave a message, you can now discover who they are and determine if you want to return their call. Cell phones are especially problematic for caller ID units since they usually only display the number; no name. You can jot down that number, enter it in a reverse cell phone lookup and decide whether you should call them back or not.

LG Venus Cell Phone Review
If you are looking for a unique phone to complement your style, the LG Venus could be what you are looking for. It features a QVGA display screen which can be operated via a secondary dynamic touch LCD control pad located below it
The main screen is an ordinary TFT screen with a nice 262k colors and a resolution of 320x240. This is accompanied by what LG have name their 'InteractPad™' which is a contextual touch screen interface with a resolution of 240x176. The InteractPad provides the main mechanism to navigate the phone, and the softkey menus appearing will change depending on the options available. For example, when you are listening to music, soft keys like Play, Pause, Forward and Backward will appear on the InteractPad. Otherwise when browsing through the menus, you will see Up, Down and Okay soft keys.
The LG Venus, whilst having everything you need in its touch screen and TFT section, also has a slide our numerical keypad. This is because LG found that people enjoy touch screens, but found it hard to text on them, so they are offering a bit of both worlds.
Perhaps because it has a quite unique dual screen, the operating system offered has to be unique to the phone. As such, you don't get the ability to extend functionality in comparison to a phone running a Symbian or Windows Mobile operating system, but it does support Java so you should be able to find a nice range of applications to do the work you need. Bundled with the phone are built in hands free software, video and photo albums, and voice memo ability - not bad, but perhaps not the most feature-rich phone on the market either.
Although the LG Venus supports the 3G network, it lacks WiFi connectivity - this shouldn't be a problem with a good date package.. Battery life is not a concern as the LG Venus has up to 20 days standby time and 4 hours of talk time.
Unfortunately, the camera is pretty featureless - 2.0MP, with no autofocus, flash, and no zoom (either optical or digital), but can record videos. Photos are taken at a 1600x1200 resolution.
The audio player on the phone supports the formats you'd expect it to; AAC, eAAC, and MP3 - not too diverse, but there are enough functions to choose from. Videos can be played back in the popular MPEG4 format. Whatever memory format you choose, the 64Mb will only fit a few songs - luckily this can be expanded by the use of a MicroSD card up to a size of 2GB.
All in all, this phone seems to be one that focuses on style and ease of use rather than good hardware, and there are plenty of phones out there with much more to offer. But, for its price, it seems that you can't go too far wrong with an LG Venus.

Wii Deals - How & Where To Find Them
Even with the financial climate in tatters, the Nintendo wii console continues to sell. If you are planning on buying a wii console and you are actively looking for great wii deals, I would recommend does some due diligence online. When looking for wii deals, I would suggest looking for wii bundles. The wii bundle typically consists of the wii console, one or two wii controllers, some games and typically some wii accessories. When these items are bundled together you can normally achieve a 10 - 20% saving if you were to buy the items separately.
If you want to find the best wii deals then it is best to search online. Online you will find the standard bundles and some retailers customizing their own bundles. Searching online you will find more of a selection over your local retail store. Once you find a wii bundle that you like, you can then look elsewhere and find the most competitive price. The only disadvantage to looking for wii deals online is the huge choice of offers and the number of online stores that offer wii products. So how do you find the best deal?
Ok so I will offer you some guidance: The best place to start looking is online auctions. Take eBay for example. eBay attract hundreds of thousands different sellers. Auction sites like eBay have a massive range of wii products, different sellers and prices. The advantage of using auction sites is that it gives the chance for multiple vendors to offer their products, there by giving the consumer a larger range over what a single retailer could offer. I will list some of the items that are included in a typical wii bundle as there can be a mountain of offerings to search through.
*Wii console, 4 controllers, 4 nunchuks, 5 games and a wii fit board
*Wii console, 2 controllers/nunchuk sets, 3 games
*Wii fit balance board, mario kart, games, 4 controllers & nunchuks
You can get a very good idea of some of the choices that you have when you are looking for wii deals. I mentioned only a small selection. You will find thousands of choices online.

There is help from iPhone application developers and from Apple itself if you need to know how to get an account, download an application, or get updates.
For starters, you can browse through the app store from the computer through iTunes, or you can tap the button for App Store on your iPhone.
If you're on iTunes, it may be little difficult to find the App Store. Simply go to the iTunes Store button on the left hand side of the iTunes screen, then you'll find the App Store link on the left hand side of the iTunes store window.
If you already have an account with the iTunes store, then beginning to purchase or download free applications for your iPhone is easy. You simply use the same password.
If you don't yet have an account on iTunes, it's easy to create one, and you'll definitely want to download applications to your iPhone. These apps, created by iPhone developers all over the world, work on all iPhones, and most work on the iPod touch as well. This fact is not always separately indicated, however.
If you need more basic help, you can go to the Apple Knowledge Base where you'll find step by step instructions.
Some applications are silly and frivolous. One popular app is called "Steam." With this app, you blow into the microphone on your iPhone, and the screen clouds over with what looks like steam. You can then wipe it off with the appropriate squeaks and condensation.
Other games and interest applications put out by iPhone developers include the U.S. Presidential quotes. You swipe across the image of a president, and some of his finest quotes appear.
To create these and thousands of other fun, silly and useful apps, the iPhone application developers work hard to keep ahead of the curve. Now that there are over 50,000 applications for the iPhone, iPhone developers also need basics on how to get noticed in the market.
One thing to do is to be very narrow in the focus of your app. Cut out extraneous screen stuff, and focus on the core concept. You can us a mockup tool when you are experimenting with different applications and different ideas so that you can pitch them to a company or other developers.
You want to choose the approach you will take for building the program. As an iPhone developer, using apps that are built in the browser are easier to develop, easier to share, and easier to distribute. Why make things hard on yourself by learning objective C to write iPhone apps?

The Success of the Apple iPhone
Steve Jobs made a prediction that Apple will be in a position to sell 10,000,000 iPhones when it is released to the market.
Is this possible at all? Well, the numbers might be really formidable, but Apple has managed to beat the chances for the past several years.
If their sales trend don't change, the target is extremely possible. In reality, if there's much more to the telephone than meets the eye, they could go outside the estimated amount. What Apple essentially did was to completely radically change the ever-growing industry. With their line of wonderful products, nothing can ever be the same again in the line of mobile gadget. They have reshaped the way folk think about cell telephones simply due to the features that they put in. Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's Chief Financial Officer, thought that Apple could definitely beat the chances and reach ( if not transcend ) their goals. The better part about it is that regardless of its new and fresh add-ons, the designers made certain that folk could use this tool. The industry's latest venture is unquestionably out to impress its already steadfast supporters. And if everything turns out the way they've planned, more folk will be turning to Apple to satisfy their technological demands.
With the speculation mounting of what has still to show itself, what are we able to expect from the iPhone re directions and features? Well, details of the 2009 iPhone have eventually been related. Some claim that a flash will be added to the camera. Of course, there will also be a powerful increase in its megapixels.
The majority of the competitors' phones out in the market boast as high as five megapixels. What Apple can do is exceed that electrifying amount. There will be a reworked exterior so that folks see another cool design from the company. It could be compared to the iPod Touch, but even better. A replaceable battery perhaps? Just as importantly, there could be more memory storage. What folks may look for is a telephone that rivals the gigs of the iPod video. It may even come with another USB port so you can fasten a number of accessories in it too. Naturally, what's an iPhone without all of the cool applications? The Apple iPhone sets itself out to be unique.
They have cool and fun games that are not available for other brands, some exercise software installed, and perhaps a particularly efficient organizer. The remainder of the other brands in the market might be compelled to come up with even neater features.
Apple had already claimed the stakes on lots of the tools. They looked into the future and had discovered a way to work out the varying wants of folks. It was Apple that had successfully sunk its teeth into the newest trends. Expect only the most recent programs installed in its microchip.

The Fruits of Apple's Labor
Of all the consumer electronics and software corporations rummaging about the market, few, if any, can stand up to the illustrious business of Apple, Inc. Steve Jobs' idea worked its way up from a lowly and rather unsteady beginning, honing its products and developing its business philosophy, to become the insuperable industry monster that it becomes today. For any corporation to flourish, it must be able to provide consistent meaning to its customers as well as refine, rethink and reengineer that benefit over periods. Apple's victory in this primary aspect is what sets it apart from its rivals and is responsible for its broad customer group.
Apple's most famous product is indisputably the iPod. Obtainable in a array of shapes, colors and storage capacities, the industry-leading portable music device is what propelled the company into the limelight and brightened up the mundane shelves of retail and wholesale electronics.
The gadget's skinny, lightweight design and user-friendly interface make it ideal to liven up a mundane studying or exercise session. The road trip friend also allows users to deposit movies and photos, thereby transforming the gadget into a little media center. The company's iPod Touch also offers a wider screen, touch-sensing capabilities, as well as a incalculable amount of applications (apps) that users can download from the App Shop, permitting people to track, find and control just about anything.
Building on the structure set down by the iPod Touch, Apple's iPhone takes the notion of multitasking to a entire new plateau. The "phone" also acts as a camera, media player, GPS, gaming device and pretty much everything else a individual needs in his or her regular life. And as if the touch screen wasn't straightforward enough, the most recent iPhones boast voice-recognition abilities, enabling users to say a command and sit back as the mechanism obeys.
These characteristics have made consumers totally wild-electronic wholesalers, retailers and Apple itself have liked remarkable inventory turnovers. The widget carries out so many functions that it is ridiculous to lump it in any one business. It may be more correct to say that the mechanism has produced a new industry altogether: the do-it-all industry.
Apple, Inc. is the example of a thriving company. Its high-quality products, special business culture and ability to provide (lots of) benefit to consumers are what make Steve Jobs' kingdom so booming. Customers want devices that can get the function completed and look good doing it. Apple stepped up to the plate and gave them the answers they were looking for.
