After downloading the application from the App Store and activating Bluetooth, in the application the SensorTag can be connected to the iOS device.To enable the connection, the push button of the SensorTag must be pushed once. The LED on the device will start blinking and the SensorTag can be connected now by the application.
Pictures coming soon …
Texas instruments TI offers with the CC2541 Sensor Tag a nice development tool with quite a lot of functions. The SensorTag includes these sensors:
The complete SensorTag is optimized to low power consumption by TI. When not used the sensors been in sleep mode.
The communication between the SensorTag and the iOS device needs Bluetooth 4.0 and the TI application.

From time to time, exactly every 2 years customers have to choose between quit or extending the mobile contract. The business terms of t-mobile been fine and when extending the next choose will be between invoice credit or a new phone. Mostly my decision had been the new phone, but which one ?
The technical data was discussed alot and I’ll not repeat it here. I hadn’t experience with the Microsoft Windows 8 OS until now and no time to test. Still Android and iOS on the list. The new Nexus and the Sony Xperia Z wasn’t available at the time of ordering and the other competitors are to heavy in their dimensions for a mobile phone. Decision between Android, iOS and Windows 8 was a neck-and-neck race and the key point had been the invested money in Apps. Binding the hardware and the software in the way Apple does makes it some kind of difficult to change the operation system.
iPhone 5 slims in weight and is still good-looking, overall a good decision.
“Now you can carry a multi-tool built right into the case of your iPhone. Sixteen of the most useful tools engineered into a thin and trim package. And at 89 grams TaskOne adds suprisingly little weight to your phone.
Utilizing quality hardened tool steels, aircraft aluminum, and polycarbonate, TaskOne is the next generation of multi-tools.
Not only is TaskOne functional, but it is also stylishly designed. Its total thickness is as thin or thinner than many other cases, and comes in a variety of brilliant colors, including Slate Grey, Cherry Red, Jet Black, and the Indiegogo only color Orange Flame. TaskOne does not sacrifice performance, yet is elegant and beautifully integrated with your phone.”
Unfortunately only for pre order until now.

Another nice device offered in the Belkin store is the WeMo. The category is Connected Home and they offer an WeMO Baby device, which looks interesting and it’s worth further attentation.

“Finally, Your Home Gets Its Own App
The Belkin WeMo Switch, lets you turn electronic devices on or off from anywhere inside–or outside–your home. The WeMo Switch uses your existing home Wi-Fi network to provide wireless control of TVs, lamps, stereos, and more. Simply download the free WeMo app, plug the switch into an outlet in your home, and plug any device into the switch. You’ll be able to turn that device on or off using your iPhone or iPad. You can even set schedules for your devices and control them remotely using a mobile Internet connection. You can also add additional switches to your home to control more devices.”
The good news, the WeMo is offered with european standard switch too and the price of 49 € is awesome. Buy the way, while looking around the belkin shop, I spot a few really nice products.

Control your light environment from your iPhone or iPad. The starter pack is available for 199$ and in Germany for 199€ via the Apple online store. I’m not aware of the opportunity to buy them in the retail store, but maybe they have the Hue in stock too.

Light automation without the need for an additional home house bus system like KNX / EIB for example.
“KNX is a standardized (EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543), OSI-based network communications protocol for intelligent buildings. KNX is the successor to, and convergence of, three previous standards: the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BâtiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB or Instabus). The KNX standard is administered by the KNX Association.”

Water protection up to 30m and the camera is still useable. I’d like to see pictures to evaluate the quality.
For my iPad one I bought an O2 data package with a very fair price. 200 MB data cost just 10 €.
But additionaly the offer had another plus, the 10€ are only charged when you use the mobile net of O2 in a month.
Otherwise nothing is charged. Unlicely I can’t find that data package on the O2 website anymore.
I’m searching for a data package with approximatly 500 – 1000 MB and 7.2 MBit/s. The datarate should be reduced after reaching the data limit.
No mobile provider had the pay just when you use option.
A fair price for such a data package would be 15 € in my opinion.
One possible offer was from FYVE – Prepaid Smartphone Surfen für 5,- € im Monat. which is still interesting and worth testing.
Another possible one could be from Congster, Endlos mobil surfen und günstig telefonieren für sensationelle 9,99 EUR/ Monat. hmm ?!?
DHL get it again in time – 10:04 delivery. But until now no time for unpacking ;-(

The pice stay stable for the Wlan only models 16GB $499, 32GB $599 and with 64GB $699, with additional LTE $629, $729 and $829.
One of our devices is the IP cam inventedbay Withings as a baby monitor. It’s a nice device with features like night vision, temperature and humanity logging. It can alarm at accaustic or visionary interrupts (crying or moving, but I like the interrupt description).
One essential feature is missing, the use with other devices than iOS apple mobiles with the withings app.

The medisana tragetscale was a new possible candidate for a bathroom scale. Now the withings or medisana scale will be the scale of chose. I’ m not sure at the moment which one I prefere. The withing scale will be available in white an black. The medisana has some funny light features and look very spacy with that feature.
By the way editing text for the blog is some kind of pain in the a.. With the iPad.
Funny advertising and a nice solution by the way !

I’m really addicted to the products from Apple. The new member in the team is a 13,3″ Macbook Air with 256 GB SSD. The boot time speed is awesome.
Tomorrow the next Apple store in Germany opens it’s doors at 10.00 AM.

I don’t know if there will be some opening offers but I think I’ll check that by myself. Maybe I’m lucky and can get a good deal.

“iOS 5, the latest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, includes over 200 new user features, and an updated SDK with over 1,500 new APIs and powerful new development tools. Start developing today to take advantage of iCloud Storage, Newsstand Kit, Core Image, GLKit, Twitter and new Game Center APIs.”
“iOS 5 appears to unlock new 1080p capabilities for the iPad 2, allowing video in the 1080p format to be synced and played directly on the device. While the iPad 2 is of course unable to directly display full 1080p content on its own screen, many users are interested in outputting such content to larger screens, and it also opens the door to a true 1080p Apple TV. ”
I feel some kind of growing addiction to apple products and that’s not for their open source philosophy, but indeed their products are damn well designed.
For me all began with the iPhone and now even a Macbook Pro becomes an option.
But I own a lot of other devices with other OSs on it, so it’s a real Ying/Yang hard- / software coexistence.
Correction, my first apple device was the ipod 2 black with 8GB and it’s still doing a great job in holidays on 15 and more hour flights.
[Trigami-Review]
Projektmanagment Tools gibt es einige auf dem Markt, aber leider fehlte mir bisher die gute Anbindung an das iPhone als priorisiertes Endgerät meiner Wahl. Generell ist der Zugang möglich gewesen, aber die Benutzerführung passte einfach nicht zum Gerät. Um wirklich nützlich zu sein, muss ich alle wichtigen Punkte einfach erreichen können, ohne die Auflösung hoch zoomen zu müssen. Gut gelöst hat das die App von projectplace (Projectplace for iPhone), bei der die wichtigen Funktionen mobil unter 6 Punkten erreichbar sind. Das Beste, man kann die Symbole auch treffen wenn der Finger etwas größer ist.
Wichtigstes Kriterium ist für mich ist im Grunde genommen eine einfache Grundfunktion, nämlich den Status von Milestones einfach und jederzeit abrufen zu können. Oft genug dürfte ich zwischen Meetings am Telefon einem Kunden erklären wieweit ein Projekt gediegen ist und habe dazu einfach nicht die aktuellen Daten parat gehabt.
Dokumentenmanagment ist auch ein essentielles Feature, allerdings erlaubt nicht jedes Projekt zumindest in meinem Hause die Auslagerung von Dokumenten in web-basierte Umgebungen die nicht in der eigenen zertifizierten Infrastructure vorgehalten werden.
Aber aus eigener Erfahrung ist nicht einmal die Hälfte der notwendigen Dokumente in dieser Kategorie und können auch entsprechend genutzt werden. Allerdings stellt sich die Grundsätzliche Frage von Informationssicherheit bei der Nutzung von Software as a Service Diensten sowieso und muss von jedem Unternehmen individuell als Policy festgelegt werden. Das SaaS Anwendungen die Kosten senken können, braucht hier nicht weiter dargelegt werden. Alleine die Rollout Zeit ist für mich unschlagbar und die Skalierbarkeit ist bei Implementierung unter eigener Infrastructure oftmals eher eine juristische Herausforderung bis man die passende Lizenz gefunden hat. Leider stellt man dann nachher fest dass man nicht 100 Lizenzen gleichzeitig braucht, hat aber die Kosten für eben diese.
Projectplace hat alle Funktionen die man von einem Projektmanagment Tool erwartet und bietet natürlich die Vergabe von Benutzerrechten und Rollen die man beim Projektmanagment benötigt.
Da der Kunde oder die nicht Projektteammitglieder grundsätzlich nicht an die Existenz des Triangle of Excellence glauben (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management_triangle), habe ich persönlich gerne alle Informationen zum Projektablauf in der Hand. Und mithilfe des iPhones und projectplace ist dies wörtlich zu nehmen. Und mit der passenden Information kann man immer wieder erklären warum der günstigste Lieferant dann doch nicht die gewünschte Performance liefern konnte.
Gerade kleinere Projekte mit 3 Mitarbeitern lassen sich wirklich günstig mit projectplace abbilden. Bereits für 18,50 € pro Monat und Projektteilnehmer kann man in der Team Edition starten.
Da man Projectplace 30 Tage kostenlos testen kann, sollte man dies ausführlich nutzen und sich ein eigenes Bild machen. Für den ersten schnellen Überblick gibt es auch ein Video.
After 3 month experience with the Iphone 4 I’m really happy to upgrade from the Iphone classic. Only one time in Bern/Switzerland calling wasn’t possible, even with the bumper. But this was maybe a roaming problem. And the retina display is extraordinary beauty.
