Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

CS Odessa Announces New ConceptDraw eLearning for Skype Solution

San Jose, California – CS Odessa is proud to announce a new solution for ConceptDraw MINDMAP – eLearning for Skype. The new solution is made with the modern subject-matter expert in mind, eLearning for Skype. The new eLearning solution provides a simple, yet robust set of features, designed to augment and simplify the training process. Using this Solution will allow users to host content-rich presentations for small groups, remotely.

Now students, instructors, consultants, and subject-matter experts of all kinds can use the power of ConceptDraw MINDMAP, coupled with the low-cost global communications of Skype, to deliver polished and complete lesson-plans that furnish their own documentation during the presentation. Documents can be customized in countless ways to include embedded files, hyperlinks and mind map objects to maximize the efficacy of the mind map as an eLearning tool.

Training can be free of the usual constraints of time and distance, potentially reducing training costs dramatically. Sessions can host small groups and allow back-and-forth communications throughout, including on-the-fly adjustments to the presentation document. All attendees log out of the session with a copy of the presentation document on their hard drives, so students can take the lesson with them, wherever they go.

Verizon announces new LTE markets to be live on December 20th

Like we noted last month, Verizon has all the major market service areas covered with its speedy LTE network, so these updates are covering areas that most people do not know about, even people that live in those states.

We are going to miss seeing these regular monthly updates from “Big Red” after the LTE network rollout is complete next year.  Sure, we will have regular updates from the other carriers as they catch up over the next several years, but we would not be surprised if Verizon was on track to start rolling out LTE-Advanced by the time the other players are done catching up to deploy LTE.

Subscribers in these Rocky Mountain and northwestern areas have a new network coming their way on December 20th:

Lamar and La Junta, Colorado, which are in the southeast part of the state, east of Pueblo.Price and Richfield, Utah, located in the central area of the state, south of Provo.Jackson Hole, Teton Village, Kemmerer and Pinedale, Wyoming, all in the western part of the state, home to some of the best skiing and most beautiful scenery in the world.Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Sequim, Washington, in the northern shore of the state, along the Strait of Juan de Fuca which comprises part of the border with Canada.Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, Washington, which lie on the opposite corner from Port Townsend, southeast Washington, bordering Oregon.Klamath Falls and Roseburg, Oregon. Roseburg is along the Interstate-5 corridor and Klamath Falls is nestled in the south-central part of the state, close to northern California.
We hope you enjoyed the geography lesson, and we hope you enjoy the new LTE coverage coming your way.

Verizon announces the Samsung Galaxy Camera, available Dec. 13th

We suspected Big Red would be picking up this Android powered camera, based solely on documents revealed by the FCC. Hundreds of components make their way to the regulatory body even though there may be no plans to introduce those products in the US.

One month after AT&T announced availability of the Samsung Galaxy Camera, Verizon has is following suit with an LTE enabled version of the device. It features the same specifications, 16MP camera with a 21x optical zoom, powered by a quad-core 1.4GHz processor and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rounding up the most notable items. Outside of that, the Google Play store is available and this camera will do just about everything, except make phone calls.

Verizon will have the Samsung Galaxy Camera available to order online December 13th for $549.99. It will be available in white and an exclusive “Cobalt Black” color. Adding the camera to a Share Everything plan is being promoted for only $5 per month. The color choice is nice and ability to share it with your data plan is convenient, but the price is $50 more than what AT&T is charging, and we have seen even lower prices on other sites for limited periods of time.

No doubt it is a nice device.  If you are on the fence, check out our hands-on video and let us know if the Samsung Galaxy Camera is on your list this winter.
