Bernews headlinesI’ve been tracking the progress of the Pulse Livescribe Smartpen – a rather cool pen device that allows you to transfer handwritten notes and recordings direct to your PC and converts your handwriting into text. Up until this week it was only available for Windows but now a Mac beta is available. Time to splash out methinks …
If like me you have to run Windows on your Mac (one day QuickBooks Online will get their act together but until then …) then Parallels has long been a great tool for doing just that. Now they’ve just released Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac and it’s well worth the $79.99 (or the $39.99 upgrade through November 30).
The interface is much more Mac-like but better than that, the Coherence feature makes switching between your Mac and virtual Windows machines without rebooting faster and more seamless than ever. Sharing documents, files and cutting and pasting between apps is a cinch – the Windows Start menu even pops up in your dock.
I’ve not used the highly respected VM Ware but I can thoroughly recommend Parallels. If you have to use Windows, you won’t regret it.
Good news – the iPhone is finally coming to a Bermuda network near you. Cellular One is promising to bring in unlocked iPhones “within the next three to four months,” according to CEO Michael Leverock in the Bermuda Sun.
