What’s all the Buzz?

I’ve been using Buzz for a short while now and am beginning to really enjoy it. If you were to imagine a better form of Twitter, this would be it. I’m sure as time goes on it will become even better, and eventually merge into it’s own platform – being open to anyone – as [...]

Part II – “Device not compatible” – Skype on 3

Following on from Part I, where I discussed the Sony Ericsson K800i (it applies to all phones with java, you just need to google for a copy of 3′s Skype for your own phone’s display settings), I will now move onto the TyTN II (or, any windows mobile phone, I am running Windows Mobile 6.5) [...]

Part I – “Device not compatible” – Skype on 3

3 advertise all over the place about their free Skype – Skype calls, giving the impression that if you buy a 3 phone, you’ll be given Skype.. right? I have 3 mobiles at home, one ZTE F102 (a 3Skype phone I use for business), one HTC TyTN II (personal) and a Sony Ericsson K800i (collecting [...]

Dreamscene on Windows 7

Wanting to share a presentation in [...]

Skype servers, the permanent free communicator

Searching for a feasible VoIP solution isn’t always easy. Hidden costs, unreliable services, fixed contracts, there are plenty of downsides. Even using Skype becomes a task when your computer needs to stay on to have the “always available” service that would be associated with a normal telephone line. Skype offers this service, but you will [...]
