Especially for people who travel, access to an Internet connection is normally hard to find. Hence, you can imagine the load that this new PROMT software takes out of your daily expenses. It can translate simple text all the way to websites without compromising the actual source.

One of the many features of iPhones and the iPod Touch is to accommodate video streams. And today, a church will become the first group to experiment on streaming their services via video. The New Hope church thus becomes the first non-profit group to feature such a service, something that is cheered on by many of New Hope’s church attendees.

“Typically, churches are years behind other organizations when it comes to technology and innovation. We have tried to reverse that trend and pioneer new ways to spread the Gospel using the most current tools available,” explains New Hope’s Technology and Innovations Director, Michael Sharpe. “We don’t mind the long hours and stress that comes with innovating because we know that if we can come up with something useful, it can be used by other churches around the world.”

All of this was made possible with the inclusion of HTTP live streaming in Apple’s iPhone 3.0 software. The streams will be available via their website starting July 4. The live stream requires an iPhone or iPod touch with the 3.0 software update and an active Internet connection.

On the web, a lot of us base our references on Wiki sites when we need supporting information and references. Now while you can do that from the comfort of a standard PC with Internet connection, Corporate Smalltalk Consulting LTD. unveils WikiServer, the first full-featured mobile Wiki server application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

This mobile Wiki server is a fully functional Wiki hosted on your iPhone, or iPod touch. As you know a Wiki allows you to store, edit, and display content that you, or others can change. Content can be as simple as words, or more complex such as formatted text, up to including audio/video, PDF, and JavaScript.

Big information from any small device anywhere. That is probably the best way to define this new WikiServer app for the iPhones. And with the majority of people these days looking for information and references on certain subjects, this new technology is definitely a welcome addition for better reference and knowledge enriching needs.

A Network Extender has been released by Verizon Wireless in an effort to boost cell phone reception. Apparently, many consumers are having some issues as far as cell phone reception is concerned and with this piece of hardware, they can expect better coverage and signals. The best part of it is that Verizon will not charge additional for it.

The Verizon Network Extender is essentially a mini-cell tower that works by using a customer’s existing broadband Internet connection to provide coverage in an area up to 5,000 square feet. The femtocell, which is made by Samsung, can also enhance the ability to send text messages, surf the mobile Web, and download e-mail, but it doesn’t support 3G speeds on Verizon’s 3G network.
