Get Instant Messaging Capabilities on your iPhone

Hi! It seems you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave comments on posts!

One of the main things that I found as a major drawback on iPhone is that it doesn’t have Instant Messaging capabilities. Although the SMS ( texting ) interface looks like iChat you can use it only to send text messages. I hope you read the previous post before this where I wrote about meebo.com. Yes, just go onto http://www.meebo.com/ on your iPhone’s browser and use meebo’s services to chat. All you need to have is a username and password for whatever Instant Messaging ( AIM, Yahoo Chat, Google Talk, MSN ) you use and voila! There you are chatting on your iPhone.

Rear View Mirror For Your Screen

I was browsing the web like crazy as usual and I came across this site which sells a product that is quite something. Yes, you guessed it right, a rear view mirror for your computer screen. Why do you need one? You are the only one who can answer that. If you are at work working on some confidential data and your colleague stops by then yeah it might be a handy addition to your computer. But if you are at home and using the vast resources of the internet to satisfy your hunger of you know what I dont know how useful this mirror would be. Think you are a 21 year old guy watching something on the internet you shouldnt be and someone walks in to your room and you close the window but you have a mirror pointing to find out who is coming in. What do you tell them, what are the reasons you have a mirror on your home computer screen? I dont know to me it seems like this is a tool that more like says it, Hey, I am doing something, you know what I am doing but you have no way to prove it cause I seen you on my rear view mirror. Wow, what a product.

Get Emails as text messages on your cell phone

Gone are the days when we needed to shell out 400 dollars to buy a cell phone that would easily let us access our emails. Most of the users who use smart phones are looking for a phone that can connect them to their emails.

A new service from teleflip now lets you access your emails on your very basic cell phone as long as your phone has text messaging capabilities. There are no softwares to download. You can go to teleflip website and simply enter your phone number and the email addresses that you want to receive emails on your phone.

On the negative side since text messages can only be 160 characters, longer emails are split into halves. Also if you pay for text messaging service this might add up depending on how many messages you receive a day.
