One of the more consistent criticisms of the iPhone is that it is not a worthwhile business tool – that it lacks the power and the software to really add value to the business man or woman who wants to include their mobile phone as part of their business activities.

But this is a criticism that has become outdated – and yet people still peddle it as truth.  Let us look at just why the accusation that the iPhone is no use as a business tool is one that is incorrect.

The iPhone as a business tool

One of the major reasons for the popularity of this ‘fact’ is that the iPhone DID used to have a technological handicap when it comes to being used for business.  It lacked the processing speed to run multiple applications, or complex ones.  But the most recent upgrade – the iPhone 3GS, has changed that by dramatically improving the hardware.

Another issue was that the old, generation 1 iPhone lacked real web capabilities.  The reliance on WAP protocols meant that it was underpowered when it came to using cross internet software that required high bandwidth.  This has again been solved in recent upgrades.

Equally important to the rise of the iPhone as a business tool has been the gradual development of business essential applications.  The iPhone has developed from a web platform for those who want to play around to one capable of running software that can have a huge benefit to business users.

Applications including

* Accessing email servers for emails in real time
* Interacting with a companies database for contact management
* Running spreadsheets
* Providing a Pdf reader to allow reports to be read on the move

And much more besides.  It provides a mobile platform that allows users to access their business needs whilst on the move – important for many different types of business people.

Don’t leave your iPhone sitting around.  When you’re not using it, be certain to keep your iPhone securely on your person.  These products are hot items for thieves who can turn them around quickly and make a fast buck because of your forgetfulness.

Purchase a cover for your iPhone.  There are many types of covers on the market.  Some are designed to protect your phone from the shock of a drop or moisture from rain, snow, etc.  Some are very simple and less expensive, and give your phone basic protection from wear and the elements.  Choose the cover that best goes with your taste and lifestyle.

Keep your identity and private information safe by using the password protection on your phone.  Lock out nosey intruders and those who mean to attempt to steal your phone and its content. Read more…

It is no surprise to most of us that cell phones emit radiation as we chat, but how much do they really let off? Actually, they all let off different amounts. Some of them are not so bad, while others are letting off a surprisingly high amount of radiation as we talk away with our free night and weekend minutes! So, what are the phones that are doing well in the radiation department?

Well, if you want phones that are really not letting off much radiation at all, try a Samsung Impression, a Motorola RAZR V8, a Samsung Rugby, a Samsung SGH-t229, a Samsung Propel Pro, a T-Mobile Sidekick, a Samsung Gravity, an LG Xenon, a Sanyo Katana II, or a Motorola Karma QA1. Read more…
