An October 2011 Update from GetSync’d – iOS5, iPhone 4S, Steve Jobs, GeoTagging Safety, and BlackBerry Blues

October 26, 2011 – 7:00 am

How’s October been for you? Did you buy an iPhone 4S? Did you have “words” about the RIM people due to BlackBerry outages? Have you upgraded your iPhone or iPad for iOS 5? It sure was a monumental month in terms of technology with the loss of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs will be forever remembered.

Here are a few of the areas that caught our attention that we thought you might be interested in looking at:

What’s New and Different with the iPhone 4S?

Many expected an iPhone 5 but the iPhone 4S was introduced in early October instead. A more robust camera, iOS 5, iCloud, and the dual core A5 chip are all selling points.  Apple boasts over 200 new features. Get more info at http://www.apple.com/ca/iphone/. Cell phones sure have evolved. Has your use of them evolved?

How concerned with mobile phone security are you?

Do you allow geotagging on your photos? Here’s an interesting security article to provide you with some important information about your privacy with photos taken on your smartphone along with info about how to change these settings:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/technology/personaltech/12basics.html

Kerio Connect – Works Great with iOS 5

Having the latest operating system on your device means you’ve got access to all the latest and greatest tools. Apple continually strives to keep iPhone users happy with an evolving list of tools that they can access from their smartphone. If you’re an iPhone or iPad user and you’re thinking about working with Kerio Connect, you’ll be happy to know that Kerio Connect  7.3.0 (coming soon!) will support iOS 5. If you’re interested in learning about some of the differences, check out: www.kerio.com/blog/kerio-connect-and-ios-5-means-calendar-management-encrypted-emails-and-synchronized-tasks.

BlackBerry Blues

Some BlackBerry users migrated to the iPhone 4S on the release date due to frustration with Research in Motion.  Some are diehard BlackBerry (often dubbed “CrackBerry”) users and aren’t ready to jump ship. October BlackBerry outages were widespread enough to get major attention in the news and to result in RIM offering freebie apps to customers to make up for the outages for the balance of 2011. Learn more at http://appworld.blackberry.com/apps/desktop/en/index.html.

GetSync’d Update:

Here at GetSync’d things are going great. We’re getting close to our Facebook like milestone of 1,000 likes. When we get there, a lucky follower will get a $500 gift card from Amazon. Get more info at our Getsync’d Facebook contest. We’re also offering free 30-day trial versions of GetSync’d Kerio Connect. Register here for your copy: http://www.getsyncd.com/blog/getsyncd-now-offers-free-hosted-kerio-connect-7-2/.

Thanks to all our great customers for your ongoing support.

Hope to see you on Twitter and Facebook and we’d love it if you’d give us a +1 on this page as well. Thanks!

Cell Phones Have Evolved but Are You Still Operating Yours Like It’s the Dark Ages?

September 26, 2011 – 9:17 am

Not all that long ago, a cellular phone was anything but portable, cost thousands of dollars to buy, and a small fortune to operate. We’ve come a long way since 1983, baby.

Mobile phones can do more than ever. They can take pictures and video, play music, get you onto the internet where you can do an almost unlimited number of things, and more. You can video chat with people. You can bump and share information. You can control appliances and electronics in your home with your phone. Your phone is becoming a virtual wallet and mobile phones have changed productivity and connectivity forever, helping people get un-chained from their cubicle. And new advances are released on an ongoing basis.

Personal and Professional Mobile Evolution

Whether you’re a student, a mobile worker,  or an executive your cell phone is a highly effective link to your office and your staff. And the features will continue to be developed as time goes on. In 1993 the world of mobile phones started to truly evolve and attempt to help you with your productivity. It was a novel idea. Today, not only can you organize your schedule with your smartphone but you can truly collaborate with others — provided you’re actively syncing.

Today, mobile phones are fashionable, functional, and they complement both your personal life and your business life.  The ability to get and stay connected with people is priceless. But many business people aren’t using them to their full potential.  GetSync’d, a Kerio preferred partner, offers Kerio Connect, which will dramatically improve your productivity. Many of Kerio Connect’s features can help you get more out of the business productivity side of your phone and many of these features translate to personal productivity as well.

It works well in the server room, in the cloud, and in the field….

  • Email push and active syncing features of GetSync’d Kerio Connect means you’re not missing important messages. Cross platform collaboration is essential in the 21st century and Kerio Connect doesn’t discriminate based on operating system and mobile phone type(Blackberry, iPhone, etc, etc)
  • Calendar syncing ensures your calendar is accessible and up to date for you and anyone else you’re collaborating with, saving time and frustration.
  • Security is vital. You can take advantage of Remote Smart Wipe. Protecting your information in the event of a lost or stolen smartphone.
  • GetSecure (and stay that way!). GetSecure helps you stay safe in terms of viruses and other malware.
  • Backup and archiving features streamline your digital life.
  • And so on…Kerio Connect makes a big difference to your mobile productivity.

As the world of smartphones continually broadens you’ll have great opportunities to make your life easier. Many people aren’t getting all they can out of their cell phone, though. A lot of people don’t use many of their phones features all that effectively.

Have You Evolved as a Cell Phone User?

With an evolving smartphone you need an effective way to stay sync’d and ensure your data is managed well and protected. Test drive GetSync’d Kerio Connect, an award winning MS Exchange alternative so you can get more use out of your smartphone.

For a fun look at the evolution of cell phones up to 2007, check  http://www.pcworld.com/article/131450/in_pictures_a_history_of_cell_phones.html. Imagine what things will look like in another five – ten years!
