Apple’s Answer to the PC tablet: the iPAD is here!
For almost a year of secrecy, Apple reveals what it calls a revolutionary creation for handling emails, web browsing, viewing movie videos etc, etc.
The iPAD is just an example of a product repackaged, and will probably be a success because of PR hype it is getting from Apple. Just like the iPhone, which essentially a pocket pc made by Apple, and has been out for at least a decade.
It is rumored that the iPAD will cost between 300-400 pounds. It costs significantly more that Sony’s e-book reader which you can get for around 140 pounds, and obviously the iPAD can do much more than allowing you to read e-books. So I can see that Sony’s e-book reader is a dying breed. I don’t think that the iPAD will mark the decline in laptop sales, and I am not suggesting that it is meant to be a direct rivaling technology to laptops.
I don’t think that the iPAD is a bad idea, as it will become a valuable tool as the technology improves in the a couple of years time, and would be something I would carry around in my bag as a substitute to a laptop on the way to work.

Stop Automatic Data Connection on a Windows Mobile 6.5
If you have used the software utility ‘No Data’ before Windows Mobile 6.5, and found that the brilliant and small piece of software does not work on the latest version of Windows, then don’t despair, here’s what you can do:
1) download CeRegistryEditor;
2) install on your PC;
3) connect you PPC via ActiveSync ;
4) go to the registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers’
5) find the key name ‘WakeOnIncoming’ and change ‘Data’ to ‘0’ from multiple value (GPRS and/or CSD );
6) go to the registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings’
7) find the key name ‘SuspendResume’ and change ‘Data’ to ‘0’ from multiple value (~GPRS! and/or ~CSD! );
8) Done!
That should now stop your PDA/MDA from switching to GPRS when you don’t want it to.
Notes: you will not be able to use GPRS unless you specify select it in communication manager!
