Skype

Most people have no idea what VoIP is. Let me put it in common language… FREE CALLS.

Skype is software that allows you to call and talk to anyone else using the software completely free. It has audio quality better than phone quality and also allows you to call normal phones at very low rates.

For example I live in Australia and I call Korea all the time. There is only one other provider in Australia that gives a better cost per second rate than Skype. And I can’t be bothered to go and buy their cards. Convenience keeps me at my desktop.

Dell Axim X50

I was having a coffee with my business partner and during which we needed his company ABN and details from ASIC. We didn’t have this information on us, but luckily I had just bought my Dell Axim X50 Pocket PC. Within 2 mins, I had it downloading the www.business.gov.au site through bluetooth on my mobile phone.

Pocket PCs are great for for any number of things, including scheduling, contacts, notes, media player, internet and email. Dell make a great one in the Axim X50, which is what I think good value for money, nice and small, and lots of useful extras. The X50 520Mhz has bluetooth and WiFi for wireless access.
