Speakeasy

My ICT teacher has introduced to us a website that tell us the speed of our computers by simply hitting a button. The website can produce your computers download and upload speeds. For my computers test, the download speed 1793kbps (kilobits per second) and the upload speed was 466kbps. To try out Speakeasy go to, www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ find out your computers speed!

Smartphones

My favorite Smartphone is the Blackberry Curve. Because I have my very own Blackberry curve I know all of its features. I enjoy using my Blackberry because it is very easy to figure out all of the buttons and mechanics. The Blackberry curve has many features, some in which I don't use. I often use SMS, MMS and Email on my phone. When I want to download music I plug my blackberry into a USB cord. the Blackberry Curve is he best Smartphone around!

Digital Camera

My ICT teacher, Mr. Vogel has a detailed list on many digital cameras. Cameras are listed alphabetically within their image sensor resolution class. If someone needs a new camera ranging from $100 - $8000 this is the perfect page to visit to get a good look at what you want to buy. Visit www.ndrs.org/cameras

Blackberry Storm

Blackberry phones have been booming this year with the new Curve and Pearl phones. In December the new Blackberry Storm, a touch screen, will be released. The storm has a sleek look, but it will disappoint prospective buyers hoping for a credible touch-based iPhone alternative. Some say that the Strom is a disappointment in the speed of the hardware and the "touch" factor. But i guess you'll just have to try it out for yourself.
