Working more Efficiently with a Wireless Mobile Keyboard

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Even with the major advances in the smartphone industry, one thing that continues to hinder customers is the small keypad.  Whether the keypads are used for texting, typing an email, searching the Internet or dialing a phone number many users still have issues with the size of the buttons.  Despite the iPhone having nicely sized touch screen buttons when compared to most of the other mobile devices, they are still less than ideal for typing out longer text. This is why Verbatim has recently released the Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard.

Is Bluetooth Beneficial or a Disaster Waiting to Happen?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

bluetoothHey, everyone. It’s Josh from Computer Fitness again. We are a Tech Support Company for Small and Medium businesses located in Reisterstown, MD.

Most people today is familiar with Bluetooth technology. It’s not universal yet, but lots of devices use it. The most common use of Bluetooth is wireless headsets for cell phones. Bluetooth is designed to facilitate something that we tech nerds call the PAN, or Personal Area Network. This is just like a WAN or LAN, however the scope is incredibly limited, specifically, to your person. It has a lot of really cool applications, but there are also some drawbacks.

Benefit: Limited in Scope

This may seem like a drawback for some users, but this is actually a positive. It keeps people from having too many connections overlapping each other. Also, it prevents others from trying to join your PAN all the time.

Benefit: Many Connections Available

Bluetooth functions a lot like Wireless networks, so it supports multiple connections at once. While the bandwidth is not especially great, you can easily support several devices. Typically, in the case of computers, you will see a keyboard, mouse, and headset using Bluetooth to connect. Room still exists for other devices as well.

Drawback: Bluetooth isn’t 100% Secure

Most techs will also tell you that Bluetooth, while a great technology, is not especially secure. Most devices use very simple PINs to enable security/attach to a network. Sometimes, these devices use the standard default password of 0000. Bear this in mind when using Bluetooth.
