AT&T MMS for iPhone available!

OmniSpear — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:20:52 +0000

Finally! AT&T enables MMS for the iPhone.

To begin using MMS, you’ll need to connect your phone to iTunes to receive an update. A dialog box should tell you the update is available, but if it doesn’t, you can always click on the “check for update” button on the panel to the left. When you’re done, you should have carrier version “AT&T 5.5″ running on iPhone version 3.1.

Located in Dayton, Ohio, OmniSpear, Inc. works with all types and sizes of businesses to enhance their brand through the convergence of innovative website design, web applications, promotion and other key value-added services.

Xobni plugin for Outlook makes email management a breeze

OmniSpear — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:40:50 +0000

If you’re like me, the size of your Outlook data files are massive. The standard MS Outlook search is slow and not as user friendly as it could be.

My co-worker recently told me about Xobni, a MS Outlook plugin that speeds up search and a whole lot more. Best of all, it’s free for the basic version. Basic version features include:

- Lighting-Fast Search
- Find Attachments with Ease
- Threaded Conversations
- LinkedIn and Facebook integration
- Recent Conversations
- Email Analytics

The plugin interface is well designed and works as advertised and has saved me a ton of time already. Give it a shot.

iPhone Update 3.0 Download Finally Here!

OmniSpear — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:04:58 +0000

I love my iPhone, it’s a gadget that I can honestly say saves me time. Being a converted BlackBerry user, there’s a few things that I have missed though. The first of which is having the ability to Cut, Copy & Paste. While this seemed like a no-brainer function to have, up until this release it was impossible to do. The other limitation that drives me crazy about the current 2.0 software version is the inability to attach photos, video and contact info to SMS messages, another thing that the BlackBerry did very well.

Software Update 3.0

In typical Apple fashion, almost all of the shortcomings of the current iPhone software will be addressed in the new 3.0 software update, which will be available for download starting tomorrow June 17th. The update will be free for iPhone users, iTouch users will have to pay a one-time fee of around 10 bucks. Here are the highlights of the new 3.0 software release:

- Copy & Paste Support (finally!)
- Landscape Keyboard option when texting
- Photo, Video, Contact support for SMS texting
- Centralized search capability
- Record Voice Memos
- Improved Calendar with CalDAV support
- Buy movies, TV shows and Audiobooks from device
- Enhanced Stock Application
- Peer to Peer app support for gaming, etc.
- A bunch of other things

Here’s a complete list of 3.0 enhancements from Apple’s website

The primary thing that I don’t like about the upgrade is that they’re not offering Internet Tethering support in the US. This would allow you to hook your iPhone to your Laptop to browse the Internet. I’m sure that has something to do with the AT&T monopoly. I’m sure a not so legal workaround to this limitation will appear within time

How to Download the 3.0 Update (available 6/17):

1. Simply open up iTunes with your iPhone / iTouch attached.
2. Click on your device under the “Devices” left-hand menu.
3. Click the “Check for Update” button and follow the steps.

Fedora 11 – Coming to a desktop near you?

OmniSpear — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:23:40 +0000

I’ve been messing around with the beta release of Fedora’s latest version 11.0 and found it to be one the fastest and polished operating systems I’ve ever used. It takes 20 seconds or less to load the entire operating system, from power on to log in – Let’s see Windows 7 do that.

The features are not bad either, most of what you would need to accomplish day-to-day tasks. Firefox 3.1, Eclipse IDE, etc.

With the move towards browser-based computing it’s only a matter of time before the lines between the operating system and browser begin to blur. Microsoft’s days of being the primary desktop OS will surely come to an end using their current pay-per-device model.
