HTC HD2 vs. the Apple iPhone 4
Incisor.tv, September 2010

Excerpt …
“It’s time to dispel some misconceptions.  It seems the Apple iPhone 4 has received some notorious press lately, but the ever-so loyal Apple fans queue relentlessly to obtain Apple’s latest gadget.  Despite issues surrounding antennae; proximity sensors and camera functionality to name a few, the phone has sold, according to numerous reports, in its millions.  HTC could only wish for such furore and sales figures of a single Smartphone.  After all, HTC develop a range of Smartphone products using the Android and Windows Mobile operating systems.  It seems Google Android has beaten Apple in the market share stakes and let’s not dare ask how Windows Mobile is faring!  Dean and Sarah decided to take a closer look at the Apple iPhone 4 and the HTC HD2 – both impressive beasts with enviable capabilities and features.  …”

Welcome low power Wi-Fi
Incisor.tv, September 2010

Excerpt …
“Everyone knows Wi-Fi. Everyone knows what to expect from the technology. Everyone has become familiar with the often cumbersome security key entry and are familiar with SSIDs. Everyone knows that you can enter a shopping centre and you’ll find a Wi-Fi hotspot. Everyone knows they can sit in an airport lounge and receive a Wi-Fi connection. And everyone, most likely, has a Wi-Fi connection at home or at their business/place of work. Wi-Fi, well it’s everywhere! In fact, the majority of notebooks manufactured today have Wi-Fi. Smartphones are no exception either, as typically both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are integrated (don’t forget to read the “He said, She said” feature covering the HTC HD2 and Apple’s new iPhone 4 (on page XXX).

Developing Practical
Wireless Applications
Digital Press Books (an imprint of Elsevier), 2007

In a constant stream of new ideas, wireless technologies continue to emerge offering a range of capabilities, each affording simplicity and ease-of-use. Such diversity and choice should surely raise the question, "are manufacturers using the right technology for the right product?"

Developing Practical Wireless Applications will explore this question and, in doing so, will illustrate many of the wireless technologies currently available whilst drawing upon their individual strengths and weaknesses. More specifically, the book will draw your attention to the diverse collection of standardized and proprietary solutions available to manufacturers. As developers and innovators your choices are not restricted to any norm and, as such, a standardized or proprietary solution may afford you greater benefits in realising any product roadmap.

Developing Practical Wireless Applications will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how each technology works, coupled with an exploration into overlapping, complementary and competing technologies. In establishing this foundation, we will explore wireless applications in their context and address their suitability. In contrast, the book also considers the practicality of a wireless world in an attempt to better understand our audience and specific demographic groups. Coupled with a richer understanding of our consumers, along with our technology make-up we can indeed target wireless products more effectively.
