      Windows 7 tablets are dropping left and right

      May 1, 2010 /

      I know the iPad 3G launch and the cancellation of at least two Windows 7 tablets in the same week is likely just a coincidence, but it’s hard to shut out the voice telling me the news might be related.

      You might remember Microsoft’s Courier, the dual-screen tablet that could fold like a book and had an amazing demo video. It’s dead, folks. Done. Microsoft said the project would no longer be supported. Alongside that bit of bad news comes word that HP is canceling its Windows 7 tablet, the same tablet Steve Ballmer debuted at CES 2010. HP is reportedly displeased with Windows 7 as a tablet platform and will be moving to Google products.

      The HP cancellation is the big news of the two. Dropping Microsoft for Google’s cloud operating system is a first for big manufacturers, and it points to a growing sentiment in the development community. The world wants simple products, and while some might decry iPhone OS and its relative lack of features, no one can deny its success. For the average consumer, Windows just doesn’t make much sense.

      Tips on Making Exchange Hosting Choices

      May 1, 2010 /

      If you run an Internet based business finding the right exchange hosting service could be one of the most important decisions you make that will affect your bottom line. Not all hosted exchange servers are created equal. You should take the time to find a provider that fits your needs and will help you grow your business in the best way possible.

      So what elements should you look for right away when deciding on a hosting service? Here are some things to consider.

      -Examine customer support to determine if you’re getting the right company. An email address is a good way to contact any perspective hosting company, but it’s much better to have customer support phone number. Providers who deal with clients directly by phone indicate they are more in tune with their client’s needs than providers who are difficult to contact.

      -Look into utilizing an ActiveSync feature so you can incorporate any mobile devices into your exchange server. If you can plug in your blackberry into your broader network that encompasses your hosting service, for example, it means you can be aware of what is going on with your business at all hours of the day. You can make decisions in a timely manner whether you are on the other side of the world or just down the street. In a world both global and mobile, it is important to have these things literally at your fingertips no matter where you are.

      -Make certain that hosted exchange you choose has a user-friendly administrative control panel. The best providers are the ones who make things simple for a first-time user. In addition, the best ones rely on an administrative control panel that offers clear and uncomplicated details to help you make your hosted exchange application work effectively for you.

      Three Things You Should Know Before Hiring a Residential Property Management Company

      May 1, 2010 /

      If you’re tired of managing your rental properties and are considering a property management company, there are a few things you should think about. It’s wise to do your research before entering into any type of agreement, and a residential property management contract is no exception. There are three things you should ask about before you hire a property management company.

      How Will You Be Charged?

      Some property management companies charge a percentage of rent, while others charge a flat rate per month or per year. One method may be less expensive than the others, and this can be a good way to decide which company works better with your budget.

      What Services Do They Offer?

      Before signing a contract with a property management company, ask for a list of the services that they offer. Come prepared with a list of the services that you’re looking for : lawn care, repairs, rent collection, etc. Your goal is to find an agency that covers all the services that you need, for a price you can afford.

      Are They Accessible?

      Communication is an important qualification for a property management company. You need a company that will be available for your tenants when they need information, repairs, and more. You’ll also need a company that you can reach when you need to know the status of rent or repairs. For the best results, choose a company that offers more than one way to reach their representatives. If possible, choose an agency that has someone on call at night and on the weekends, in case emergency repairs are needed.

      If you ask the important questions, you’ll end up with a property management company that you can work with for the long term. Take time to do your research; it will pay off in the long run.
