We have been testing this http://www.comm100.com/ for a few of our clients and we’ve had some decent feedback.
Comm 100 is a free tool to communicate with visitors on your website either as a sales tool or as a support tool.
We are going to give it a whirl and see how it performs but initial testing is promising.
Spoke to a chap called Daniel via the onsite support portal and he was very friendly. The long term aim as I understand it is to charge for better facilities later.
No catch!
One of our clients in Chester, Cheshire who we provide IT support for has recently purchased an Ipad.
One of the reasons the IPhone has been so successful besides the fact it’s pretty much the perfect mobile smart phone is because of the business applications available to users.
When the IPhone was first released without exchange integration I did wonder how it was going to compete with HTC and Blackberry in the business arena – great for watching films and listening to music but not much good if you want to sync your calendar. The subsequent release of the IPhone 3G put it miles in front of the other devices which included exchange integration. The HTC devices required you install a certificate which was a pain for none technical users and the blackberry device required Blackberry Enterprise Server or desktop sync tools. All very messy.
It doesn’t look like apple will be making the same mistake with the IPad. Already business apps are available for it with The Roambi App, one of apples best biz apps available. Many company execs will see this as an extremely attractive complimentary device to the IPhone and wont be able to miss the opportunity of strutting round the office with an IPad under their arm shouting “sell, sell sell”!
Since it is such a unique device it is hard to say if it will take off as a real business device used by real business people with a real business persons need. Unless you really, really want an Ipad id stick with a laptop but keep an eye on things – it most likely will get even better over the coming months.
A good alternative is a decent tablet laptop like the Latitude XT2 – already has more biz apps because it runs Windows 7.
Rather a fundamental flaw in a device whose whole connectivity is based around wi-fi. Read more in this article from the BBC below.
Some owners of the newly-available iPad have reported problems with connecting their devices to wi-fi.
Hundreds have complained about weak signals on the tablet computerApple acknowledged on its support page that “under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known wi-fi network”.
It offered a fix, but suggested that it was a router issue, despite some users saying that other devices worked fine on the same wi-fi connection.
Typical comments on the Apple support page included Dr JB who wrote: “Wi-fi reception seems weak with slow downloads.”
prb44t replied: “I’m having the same issues. Weak signal on the iPad, same spot iPhone works great. Very frustrating.”
But others reported that they had no problems.
Some speculated that the problem might be related to the position of the wi-fi antenna on the device, while others said it could be a software bug.
Apple said that the problem could be caused by dual-band routers and suggested users created a separate network name for each band.
But this will not solve the problem for everyone, pointed out Adam Leach, principle analyst at research firm Ovum.
“If you are using public wi-fi, then you are not going to be able to make changes to router settings,” he said.
If the bug proves to be software-related, it will be easily solved, but if it turns out to be a problem for the device, it could be more of a headache for Apple.
“If the wi-fi problem is hardware-related, it will force a number of returns, which will be costly for Apple and ruin the experience for the first adopters,” he said.
Other reported glitches with the new device include some complaints about charging it and uploading applications.
The iPad went on sale in the US on 3 April and sold more than 300,000 units on its first day.
Apple said that one million applications and more than 250,000 e-books were downloaded on the same day.
A model offering both wi-fi and 3G connectivity will go on sale in the US and the UK later this month.
Recently we have been assisting a local recruitment company called “administrator jobs” whose website can be found at http://www.administratorjobs.org.uk or administratorjobs.org.uk
Using a content management system based on wordpress its very easy to knock out fairly inexpensive websites with lots of function.
I was amazed at how comprehensive Word Press is these days, well worth a look for any small companies considering shelling out thousands of pounds on website development. You could probably do it yourself with a bit of technical assistance.
The website is only temporary in order to allow the company to trade whilst we work with a software development company as part of a much bigger project.
