JigarWines.com goes live with HTML5 & CSS3
Today the new web presence for Jigar Wines was launched: www.jigarwines.com This site is a new landmark for Cyber View - the site was built with
HTML5 and CSS3. One of the new capabilities of these relatively new technologies allows for a web site to recognize the screen size /
resolution and re-adjust appropriately for that specific device.
For example, the site will determine the best display for a
smart-phone, desktop computer, tablet, or web-enabled television. Additionally, the Jigar Wines site is powered by our content management
system, CyberStudio Version 5.

7 Rules to Understand Design & Designers
Now I
consider myself to be a hybrid designer and developer... the other day I saw a poster called the "7 Rules to Understand Design & Designers"

it.
- Designers are meant to be loved, not to be understood.

- Designer must seduce,

- Good design can be planned but great design just

DROID vs iPhone
A friend of mine, Ben Doll, sent this to me the other day... I found it to be quite funny and very
true.
But, I'm still waiting for the release of the
Adobe Flash Player for my
Android phone. I've signed up to be notified when the beta release is available (http://www.adobe.com/go/fpbetaandroid).

Motorola DROID - it's not a phone, it's a robot
So I've had my Motorola DROID now for 3 days (it arrived on Tuesday, Nov 10th). Upon receiving the device, as usual you have to wait to
fully charge the device before using it. The power cord that comes standard with the phone includes a USB cable with an adapter to plug into a
wall outlet that has a USB port (for the cable). Waiting for the device to charge fulling was like telling a child they can't open a gift on
Christmas morning after rubbing in their face. Once the device was charged, getting it up & running with configuration was very easy with
Android 2.0.
I previously used the Motorola Q from Verizon (which I had for
the past 3.5 - 4 years). This device synchronized with Microsoft Outlook (contacts and calendar, not e-mail since I don't have an Microsoft
Outlook Exchange e-mail account just POP 3 e-mail). This was a very nice feature which I enjoyed... for example adding a new contact while
talking to someone I could then go back to my computer, plug in my phone and it would add it to my desktop computer MS Outlook contact list.
For the DROID I was able to export my existing contact list from MS Outlook as a CSV file and import that into Gmail through the Google
web site. Then once I had my DROID up and running, I simply input my Google account details when prompted and my contacts from Gmail were
automatically sent to the phone. Then once I signed into the dedicated Facebook app, it checked my contacts against my Facebook friends and
linked the contacts to the Facebook profiles (I think it's cool, even though some of my friends said it sounds "stalker-ish"). I was able to
easily set-up my POP 3 e-mail accounts on the DROID which even provides a shared inbox to view e-mails for all your accounts at once with color
coding for each account. My only concern is keeping my contacts synchronized with my Microsoft Outlook contacts. I do have the plug-in for
Google Calendar installed on my desktop to sychronize my Microsoft Outlook calendar with my Google Calendar. Now if only there was something
like that for the contacts (if there is and I don't know about it, please let me know).
Yesterday I took a ride out to Wal-mart. On
the way back I decided to test out the Google Maps Navigation (which is currently in BETA). It provided turn by turn directions pretty well (it
had trouble determining that we were in the Wal-mart parking lot initially - but that is minor). Heading home, once we arrived at our
destination it provided a "street-view" image of the destination which was a pleasant surprise. The Google Maps Navigation is provided for
FREE. It seems that having the GPS activated is resource intensive on the battery.
I've downloaded a few apps from the Andriod App
Market. To give you an example, I downloaded the Barcode Scanner app. Then I saw that there was an Adobe Photoshop.com app for Android. On the
web site for the Photoshop.com app (http://ow.ly/APBx), there was a barcode to scan for the
link to download the app. Initially it was difficult to get the scanner to read the barcode on my desktop monitor, but once it detected it -
the URL was provided and prompted me to verify that I wanted to browse to the URL. I was overall pleased with the experience.
I was
able to get my 3 home screens customized. At first I had trouble determining how to get an app widget to display on the home screen. Then I
read somewhere (I think it was actually a tweet) that you had to tap and hold in a "blank" area of a homescreen to have a menu display with
options to add a widget.
The physical QWERTY keyboard of the DROID has keys that are all flat and small which with your thumbs seem
to be difficult to accurately press, but perhaps with some practice would be alright. The on-screen virtual keyboards are ok as well. I've
never owned an Apple iPhone and my Motorola Q didn't have a virtual keyboard, so I'm still getting used to accurately pressing the virtual
keys. I do like the small tactial response of the device when you press buttons to acknowledge the press (which can be turned on and off in the
device settings).
I've played around with the 5 mega-pixel camera a little for both pictures and video. I haven't tried out the
music player (with the 3.5 headphone jack yet).
Overall, I've been very pleased with the phone. I did purchase a few accessories
for it - including a Body Glove protective case.

Motorola DROID from Verizon
This past week Motorola and Verizon announce a new touch phone using Google Android. I was
intrigued by some of the commercials (iDon't
Commercials | Stealth Commercial) for
the
phone so I decided to take a further look into what it was.
After reading and watching several reviews (cnet review |
talk android | boy genius report) about the device, here is the
break down of its features including benefits and disadvantages:
DESIGN / HARDWARE
- Thin profile
- Slide out QWERTY keyboard with a D-pad (buttons are all
flat and small)
- Virtual Keyboards in horizontal
- 3.7" screen (which is bigger than Apple's iPhone)
- 480 x
854 resolution
- Capacitance touch screen with an accelerometer
- Double tap, but limited gestures
- Customizable home
screens
- 3.5 mm headphone jack
- 5 mega-pixel camera with a dual-LED flash
- Micro SD card (16GB card
included)
SOFTWARE
- Google's Android 2.0 (first phone released with the 2.0 version)
- Native
Microsoft Exchange support
- Gmail, POP 3 and IMAP e-mail support
- Dedicated Facebook app which syncs with your contact list
- 3-pane Home screen that is customizable
- Adobe Flash 10.1 support (not Adobe Flash Lite)
- Google Maps
Navigation (in a beta), which provides turn by turn directions included for FREE
- Google Android App Marketplace
- Lacks
World roaming capabilities
