Tech savvy people embrace new gadgets<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
In big cities like Jakarta a cellular phone is no longer
\nsufficient for many people to provide them with quick access to
\ntheir e-mails or the Internet.<\/p>\n
More and more people have switched from carrying their laptops
\nto informal business meetings to smaller gadgets such as personal
\ndigital assistants (PDAs).<\/p>\n
The reason is simply practicality, considering the small size
\nof the gadgets, without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n
BlackBerry<\/p>\n
Those who are not familiar with the service might relate
\nblackberry with a muffin. Well, it's not.<\/p>\n
We are talking about a wireless connectivity solution in the
\nform of a business phone that meets the needs of wireless e-mail
\nand data for users who prefer a smaller handset design.<\/p>\n
Available in numerous types, this device enables the user to
\naccess existing e-mail, provides integrated phone, SMS, browser
\nand organizer applications as well as operates on wireless wide
\narea networks.<\/p>\n
BlackBerry provides government, corporate as well as
\nindividual users with access to a wide range of applications on a
\nvariety of wireless devices.<\/p>\n
Analysts have projected that BlackBerry -- which has acquired
\na 21 percent share in the global PDA market -- will beat Palm
\nSource in terms of popularity, which currently has an 18 percent
\nmarket share.<\/p>\n
Sales of PDAs equipped with wireless local area network (LAN)
\nor with applications similar to cellular phones, like BlackBerry,
\nreached 55 percent in the PDA market in the January-March period
\nof this year.<\/p>\n
In Indonesia, the BlackBerry service is provided by cellular
\noperator PT Indosat.<\/p>\n
Web accelerator from google<\/p>\n
Apart from a reliable handset, people are also looking for
\nfaster website access. Internet surfers will soon enjoy such a
\nfacility using Google Web Accelerator.<\/p>\n
This feature -- provided by Google, the largest online search
\nengine -- is an application that enables Internet users with
\ndial-up connectivity to access websites with dozens of pages in
\nseconds.<\/p>\n
The advantage of the application has been proven by many
\nwebsites, like Softpedia.com. With 256 kilo byte per second
\n(kpbs) modem connection speed, the front page of Softpedia.com
\ncould be accessed seven to nine seconds faster while using the
\nweb accelerator.<\/p>\n
Even though the web accelerator offers faster access to
\nwebsites, it should be remembered that the speed depends on the
\nnumber and complexity of the pages. (001)<\/p>",
