#MakeItHappen - 4 Apps to Work the Smart Way

Hi Guys,

We live in a world that’s connected and on the go. More and more workplaces are encouraging their employees to work remotely or even work from home. Smartphones like the Lumia 535 keep you productive, even when you’re not at your desk and are value for money devices too. These Windows Phone productivity apps will help you #MakeitHappen on the move:

OneDrive (Free)

Every superhero has an Achilles heel and for workers on the move, it’s needing access to important documents. Thanks to OneDrive cloud storage, you have easy access to docs, images, folders and attachments, no matter from where you are working. You can also organise folders, share important files and pin folders to your start screen.

 Post It Wall Pro (R19.99)

Need to remember to buy milk on the way home? Pop a digital Post It note on to your phone and it’ll remind you. In fact, pop a Post It anywhere on your phone for an instant brain-bump when you need to remember something urgent!

OneNote (Free)

You’re only as good as the notes you take, and OneNote helps you be great! With OneNote you can keep track of your progress, thanks to the check boxes that are integrated into your to-do lists. You can also organise your notes in a way that makes it work for you by using photos, drawing onto your notebooks and customising the format of your notes. OneNote automatically synchronises with OneDrive so you can access your task list wherever you are and allows you to share your notebooks with colleagues, friends, and family for input or co-creation.

TeamViewer (Free)

Need to tap into a machine at the office but you’re miles away from the workstation? That’s why TeamViewer is so handy – it enables users to remotely control Windows, Mac and Linux computers. And now, you can log in via your phone! Great for providing IT support to staff or helping mom connect her printer, TeamViewer turns chores into easy tasks you can manage on the move. Best of all, it’s free.

Microsoft is going ahead with it's strategy to launch a lot of Windows phones in all price ranges and it's marketplace is growing as I write so keep invested in this mobile operating system also. Follow them on twitter  and facebook.

Cheers!!!

My Android Love

Hi Guys,

My introduction with Google Android OS started when my brother gifted me Google G1 Mobile phone way back in 2009. This was the first Android OS mobile phone introduced by Google in collaboration with T-mobil & HTC. HTC names the set as HTC Dream. I really loved the phone as it has this sliding qwerty keypad and I was able to type very very fast on twitter and facebook. It was a small laptop for me as I didn't needed to open to check emails and all. I really loved the device very very much.

I went to London, I was introduced by Nokia to its new phone N8. It has a great camera with 12 Megapixels and old OS Symbian. I really loved it's large screen and nice design. The phone did came with a lot of features and accessories. But it has some lags and I didn't fall in love with the device and returned the same within a months of my use.

My brother again gifted my another Google phone named Nexus One which I still use. The phone is simply great with Amoled display and cool features. It upgraded itself to v2.3 Android and not further. The best thing about Android was the free apps and drag & drog of data files (movies, music, docs) into the Micro SD card & you are ready to see them on your device. I enjoyed the phone very much till recently when it's power button got broken. Then somehow I was able to find that this HTC phone has this problem and you need to take care earlier. I was able to find solution but could never switch-off the thing going forward. 

Now in this world of Phablets, screen larger than 5", quad core-dual core- processors, 8gb/16gb memory on board phones from all Indian as well as International brands I am feeling that I need to now say Good bye to my old phones. I still have both of them. Let's see if I could find solace in iPhone 5 or Nokia Lumia 920 or Samsung S4 or HTC One or BB Z10 etc. Till that time I need to save a lot of money as all the phones are highly priced in India. Thanks all! Enjoy!
