Mobile Web Pro by Kevin Koop and David Cisneros

Review by Chris Towland, Gadget Editor

Everyone knows that the mobile web use is just growing and growing on a daily basis. Pretty much everyone buying a phone wants the internet capability that the iPhone and Android phones bring to the table. When we then add in the web browsing capabilities of the iPad and other tablets and it’s easy to understand why more and more internet useage is moving from the pc and laptop to mobile platforms.

One area where this change is causing problems is with business websites.  Even though in excess of 67% of smartphone users claim to have used their device to look for a local business’s location info, a very small percentage of business websites look good or are easy to navigate on a mobile phone.

This can of course equate to lost customers for the business! For example, someone looking for a nearby restaurant on their mobile phone finds your website vut can’t move around the site easily to find your address or phone number. They eventually leave your site to find another restaurant whose address they can easily find. Something as simple as this can mean the difference between a profit and a loss for small businesses.

A very cost effective solution to this problem comes in the form of Mobile Web Pro by Kevin Koop and David Cisneros.

At a price of less than $10, Mobile Web Pro provides six professionally designed mobile templates that can be added to any website. The code that comes with the templates means that if someone views your website on a desktop or laptop computer then they see your normal website whereas if they view the same site on their phone then they will see the new mobile version of your site.

This allows you to direct them straight to the information that a mobile user is looking for which is usually address or telephone number. In fact, the mobile templates will even let your visitor simply press a button on your website so that the person can telephone you automatically.

Included in Mobile Web Pro are:

• Six different mobile web templates, each in seven style versions (giving you 42 different looks for your mobile site.)
• The Mobile Detect script that decides if the user is on a mobile device or pc and gives them the correct website.
• Twenty five tutorial videos that will ensure you can quickly get the templates set up and working on your business site.
• A 30 day money back guarantee.

In my view these templates will help anyone to quickly make an effective, professional looking mobile website for their business and all for the price of a few coffees.

I’m unsure as to how long the special pricing will remain but currently it is available at The Warrior Forum.

Cortado, a leading innovator of the business class of cloud desktop services, today introduced the latest features for enterprise Android users with the new Cortado Corporate Server version 5.3 to increase productivity of business users while on the go.

Cortado Corporate Server enables seamless and secure cross-platform integration of mobile devices into IT infrastructures. It allows business users to access the corporate network, create PDF and ZIP files as well as print and fax. Cortado’s Corporate Server 5.3 includes two significant and important feature additions for Android smartphone and tablet enterprise users. Cortado Corporate Server now enables a mobile connection to Microsoft Access databases, allowing reports to be queried according to parameters and data entered into the database from a mobile device. The new version of Cortado Corporate Server also includes document synchronization capabilities, allowing automated updates to occur between locally and centrally saved files.

Microsoft Access Database Connection

The mobile connection to Microsoft Access databases opens up entirely new application scenarios for mobile users.  For example, a sales representative can create a report based on a customer number, a specific time frame or even a geographic area easily from their mobile device. Mobile reading of meters, and the instant generation of results or invoices, are just some of the possibilities available. The key to Cortado Corporate Server´s innovation is its ability to leverage the popular and widely used Microsoft Access tool, providing essentially no extra burden to the user for learning how to create forms.

Document Synchronization

The document synchronization features allow locally edited documents to be centrally saved so that the latest version is always available on the corporate network, and vice versa. This feature greatly improves mobile collaboration as local and central data of all parties involved in a project are always synchronized and up-to-date. This is especially useful for example when visiting a customer, as waiting for files to be transferred is no longer necessary. The data is automatically updated and available on the smartphone or tablet.

“These features are a quantum leap when it comes to using Android devices within enterprises”, said Thorsten Hesse, Manager Innovative Products at Cortado. “Employees’ productivity, response times and their ability to react are all greatly improved. And with the ability to collect data on the go, Cortado Corporate Server is the ideal solution for all mobile employees needing to collect, edit and evaluate invoice related data.”

Cortado Corporate Server 5.3 with the new Android business functions is now available. The starting price for a five-person environment is EUR 795, and EUR 97 for each additional user. Alternatively the solution can be rented for EUR 3.97 per month, and per user (minimum of 30 users and 12 months).

A fully functional, free 30 day demo version can be downloaded at: www.cortado.com/corporate

Users who would like to gain a first hand impression can download Cortado Workplace free of charge from the main app stores for Android, iOS, Symbian and BlackBerry and test some of the innovative features. www.cortado.com/workplace.

The ability to access and control a computer remotely has long been the domain of IT professionals and the super tech savvy, requiring complex setup and a near expert level of computer competence as well as budget willing to shell out high monthly fees. A new app launching this week for Android phones and tablets called “Imperio” aims to change that. With its straightforward easy install system and a wallet friendly price of $9.99 ($4.99 for the first lucky 1000 users), Imperio makes remote PC access an essential everyday tool for anyone’s mobile device.

“Imperio has been built from the ground up with our users in-mind. We realize that most remote access tools (RDP / VNC programs) are too corporate focused and complex” said Dan Metcalfe, CEO of Mobisoft Corp, creators of Imperio. “We wanted to design an app that was powerful, but simple enough that anyone could use it, I’m confident that users will find we have done just that.”
Beyond simple setup, Imperio’s feature set and speed bring it up to par with some major competitors including LogMeIn Ignition and Wyse. Some of these features include:

• Wakey Wakey – Is your computer at home asleep? Imperio will turn it on to give you access to all your files and applications
• Imperio Touch Copy™ – quick and easy file transfers to and from device ensuring you always have the data you need at your fingertips
• Music / Audio streaming from PC to Mobile lets you not only see what’s going on, but hear it as well
• Pinch / Pull zoom and expand for easy navigation of the remote computers screen from mobile device
• PC compatibility with Windows 7, XP, Visa – either Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise + all Windows Server versions
• Multi-Device support giving unlimited remote machine access on one license
• Its secure: – With built in NLA (Network Level Authentication), TLS security methods, RDP 256-bit and 128-bit SSL encryption to industry leading standards
• Android compatibility on both mobile devices and tablets

With NFC* gathering momentum, the use of modern mobile phones to simplify and add convenience to tasks such as banking and shopping is here to stay, says BullGuard. However, with the majority of mobile users still slow to consider security for a handheld, many could be leaving their financial details vulnerable to third party attack.

A recent survey conducted by BullGuard showed that 24% of internet users banked online from their mobile device, and many also admitted to storing sensitive data such as bank details, credit card numbers, URLs, logins and passwords and saved PIN numbers as reminders. All of this could potentially be exploited by third parties either by a malware infection or if the phone were lost or stolen and fell into the wrong hands.

“It appears as though modern mobile users are quick to appreciate the convenience and easy access to services offered from handhelds but slow to recognise the potential threat to smartphones in a time when mobile malware on some platforms has risen by up to 400% in the last six months,” says Claus Villumsen, mobile security expert with BullGuard. “It is concerning that mobile users are storing such sensitive data, but even more concerning is that our survey revealed many consumers seem apathetic about the potential dangers of mobile use at present, ignoring even the most basic security measures,” he continues.

The BullGuard survey revealed that 62% opted against using a basic PIN or password to protect a phone from being instantly accessed by others – a simple yet effective way to deter many thieves or novice hackers. When it comes to more sophisticated protective measures, 53% were unaware that dedicated mobile security is available, 21% believed it isn’t necessary and 42% had not considered using it.

It is clear from the BullGuard survey results that more needs to be done to educate mobile phone users on the risks and potential dangers of storing personal and sensitive data and leaving phones unprotected. 27% of those polled have had their mobile phone lost or stolen in the past and 55% of respondents were still unaware that a phone can contract a virus. Security software is the best preventative measure against third party security threats, argues BullGuard, particularly when considering the prevalence of spyware, which is almost impossible to spot without dedicated software and according to a survey by BullGuard industry partners Juniper Networks, accounted for 61% of all infections in 2010.

“What consumers need to be made aware of is that many mobile threats go undetected,” says Claus Villumsen. “Some attacks are specifically designed to “mine data” from a phone without the user’s knowledge, which could be disastrous if this were to include sensitive information such as financial data or secure documents”.

When it comes to emerging technologies with more direct application such as NFC, consumers are rightly demonstrating more caution, which could be a sign that the security dangers posed by mobile devices will soon be taken more seriously. When quizzed about the new payment standard, 59% were concerned that sensitive data could be intercepted, 64% were concerned about the security of this data in the event of loss or theft and 54% were worried about third parties accessing their bank or credit card details.

The BullGuard survey of 2,000 Brits who are online was carried out by market researchers www.OnePoll.com between 28^th April to 9^th May 2011.

The Snail is a portable heating and cooking device based on magnetic induction processes. Such is the size and versatility of the Snail, it can be stuck directly on to a pot, a pan, a mug etc. to heat the contents. This reduces the amount of space required for conventional cooking whilst adding portability to the process.

Powered by a high density sugar crystal battery, the Snail converts the energy from the sugar, heating up a coil to conduct the magnetic induction process to the utensil. Integrated sensors detect the food type being heated; automatically adjusting the time and temperature. A simple touch sensitive display with interface helps to monitor the process.
