Palm OS still holds its own thanks to the superb Treo device but I think its days are numbered as Palm gets closer and closer to Microsoft. Symbian is doing well thanks primarily to Nokia in Europe and Sony in the East. Even Palm who I never thought would put Pocket PC on one of their devices has rolled over and given into Microsoft. It appears that Microsoft is winning the day certainly in Northern America. Symbain, Microsoft, Palm and just recently Linux.

Well the truth off the matter is it does everything I need it to do well.Īt the moment there are four main players in the portable OS market. Those that know me will say its just a fad Dominic goes through gadgets faster than a scotsman goes through iron brew. Its a little like a Crackberry in design with a minature keyboard instead of a number pad and a larger (wider) than normal display. For those that don't know the E61 is a cross between a PDA and a phone. Ive just recently managed to acquire a Nokia E61 and its fair to say Im very impressed. There are hundreds of other examples in the new iLife and iWork packages that really make them stand out as examples of how people should do interfaces and work flows. In the new Keynote this takes seconds and is an example of Apple understanding the way that people do 'stuff'. so I either have to go with an ugly unprofessional looking slide or spend a few minutes in a 'paint' package removing the background.

the problem with these is that they usually have a background in a color which is the complete opposite of the one Im using. I do a lot of powerpoint at work (yup I use a mac for work) and Im often forced to use icons or images that I've imported from the web. It has an 'Alpha' function which means that its trivial to remove the background from an imported image. A good example of this is in the new Keynote 08 (powerpoint equivalent in iWork). Im not one to bang on about how easy to use Macs are simply because unless your using/used one its difficult to describe how trivial little things make doing stuff much easier.

it rounds it off brilliantly.īack shortly with that darn Java problem. I’ve also started to twitter (very occasionally) but for those that want to follow me you can do it here.įor those on a Mac and are looking for an alternative iWeb. I can’t promise anything other than my gratitude. I’ll post some examples shortly so the Java heads amongst you can figure it out and I can get it working again.

Windows appears to process a piece of code (used for calling out) differently than any other platform. Previously I had this working in conjunction with Cygwin but even this is now broken. The first of which appears to be that CPU monitoring on Windows (and solaris but Im fixing this) appears to be broken. I have come across one or two annoying features (read bugs if you wish ). I’ve been answering a lot of questions lately so the good news is that people are still using swingbench, Thankyou.

Sadly I’ve been so busy at work (and at home) that I’ve had little or no time to update code.
