How to care for your iPhone Batteries

Filed under: Mobile Phones

One of the most frustrating experiences that most cell phones dreads is loosing battery power while talking on the phone. This is an occurrence that may affect nearly all cell phone owners taking them by surprise. The iPhone is a powerful cell phone and it drains out the battery life soon. The battery drains out faster if you are listening to your favorite song, checking the internet, email and sending text messages to several persons at once. Here is where you should learn how to take care of your iPhone batteries.

Even though, on the Apple website, they clearly explain the battery life expectations, they only include the information if you are running one application at a time.  However, if iPhone users are known for anything, it is for their ability to multitask.  Yet, multitasking means a shorter battery life.

However, there are several things that you can do to make your iPhone's battery life even longer.  Of course, the iPhone isn't known for draining its battery extremely quick, there is always room for a prolonged battery performance.  If you follow these tips, than you will have an iPhone that lasts you longer than you could even imagine.  Perhaps the best tip that anyone with an iPhone can follow is to simply turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it.  Very little people understand that when you keep your Bluetooth turned on, when you are not using it, you are draining your battery.

This is because there is a set amount of power that is controlled by the Bluetooth section of your iPhone, and the power is draining because the phone is constantly searching for other Bluetooth devices.  If you do not want to pair with a Bluetooth device, than make sure that your Bluetooth is turned off.

Another tip to making your battery life on your iPhone last longer is to always lock your iPhone when you are done using it.  When you are finished talking on the phone with your best friend, checking your e-mail or sending a text message, make sure that you activate the lock button.  Many people wait for the screen to shut down by itself after they are using it, while this  may seem like a great idea, you are wasting battery life by doing so.  Also, make sure that you set your auto-lock because this is a great way to ensure your phone will lock itself just in case you forget to.  There are many iPhone owners that set their auto lock for five minutes after use.

However, if you multiply this five minutes of power usage by ten times per day, your battery will not last you as long as you might think.  This is why it is always suggested that you set your auto lock for one minute (1) after you have completed using your phone.  This will ensure that the iPhone screen will not stay lit when it is not being used.  If you want to have a hassle-free way to save battery life, than this is the way to do it.

iPhone Accessories for Business Professionals

Filed under: Uncategorized


All business professionals remain busy most of the day coping with a variety of work. In order to work efficiently, most professionals require accessories and other equipments that help in the smooth functioning of work. The cell phone is one of the most important equipment that helps the business professionals in their communication with the business world. One of the best cell phone for such type of communication is the Apple iPhone. This iPhone has a number of facilities which are not available in other cell phones. With the Apple iPhone you will have not only crystal clear voice communication with your associates, but you can also check your email, surf the Internet and text message much faster. You can also take a break from the hectic work schedule and listen to your favorite album while you relax.

However, having an Apple iPhone isn't enough to make your professional life streamlined and compact.  There are many accessories for the iPhone that have been developed with the business professional in mind.  You will find that with these various accessories, you will be able to become more productive as well as allowing your iPhone to better suit your individual needs.  If you use your iPhone constantly, than you are probably tired of having to hold the device up to your ear, and you do more than likely not want to fill your ear with a headphone or Bluetooth set.  If this is you, than you will want to have an iPhone accessory that not only frees your hands to type on the computer or make notes, but also your ears so you can hear what is going on around you, which is very important when driving in the car. 

Perhaps the most unique professional iPhone accessory is the Blueant Supertooth II Speakerphone for the Apple iPhone.  This unique accessory not only has the same benefits of a Bluetooth device, but it also frees your ears and your hands from any responsibility to the iPhone.  This wonderful iPhone accessory provides you with chilling vocal clarity, even though the sound is being produced through a loudspeaker.  It doesn't matter if you are in your office, at home, driving in the car or sitting in a coffee shop, this Bluetooth speakerphone will give you the freedom that you need to get your work done smoothly.  With this product, you are given fifteen hours of talk time, as well as up to 800 hours of standby time. 

One of the coolest features about this Bluetooth speakerphone is the fact that you can attach it to your sun visor within your car, allowing you to drive safely while still holding a crystal clear conversation.  The reason why this accessory is so useful in the car is because unlike normal in-the-ear Bluetooth devices, your hearing is not obstructed in any way.  If you have ever tried to have a conversation while driving with a Bluetooth device in your ear, it is easy for you to become distracted and you are also not able to hear your driving environment.

This poses a driving risk, and is not suggested.  However, with this device you are able to drive in pure safety, without having to worry about becoming distracted.  Also, this device is extremely portable, set up time for car use is literally less than five seconds.  You are able to attach this device through a magnetic clip, thus making the transfer from car to car extremely easy.  With this device you will not have to worry about your words not being heard by the person on the other end of the line, because you are given one of the best noise cancelling microphones in the industry.  The individual you are talking to will be able to hear you, and only you, which is very important when holding critical conference calls.

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 3G - Review

The new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 with 3G is, on the face of it, much of a muchness as far as small computers go. It’s pretty hard to find any real differentiation between mini notebooks when all of them use the same processor, same screens and similar storage and memory specs. However the Dell stands out because of a) the name, b) the fact that it’s the one which will probably sell the most via the company’s corporate connections, c) because it has a built-in 3G mobile broadband card and finally d) because you can buy them on mobile phone style pricing (Vodafone UK, Vodafone AU). So I thought it would be interesting to take an in-depth look at one for those of you who may be considering going small-sized with your next computer purchase.

I'm using Safari 4 Open Beta and I haven't died yet

Filed under: Uncategorized

Hello, my name is Chris Matier, and I hate Internet Explorer. Well, maybe hate is a strong word, but I definitely don't like it much. After all, nearly half of my computing time is done on Apple products, and Microsoft gives me no love. I use safari on my Macs, but Idefinitely don't like Safari in Vista much either. That is until today; right now, I am running the beta release of Safari 4 on both platforms, and so far I love it.

Apple is known for eye-candy, and that is the same for their software; Safari is no exception. The cover flow history interface serves no real purpose other than to look really fancy, and the "top sites" feature is no different than Opera or Chrome's speed dial except that it is much prettier.
