Telstra announced the new Ultimate USB broadband  it uses dual channel HSPA+ to deliver theoretical speeds of up to 42Mbps, and more realistic real world stated speeds of between 1.1-20Mbps. This can bring big benifits for streaming video, interactive web applications & fast surfing on the net.

Let's hope it this product doesn't suffer the many problems that dogged the much hyped Turbo 21 series lemon. This product really hurt Telstra credibility. If you would like to no more just read some of the earlier blogs and readers comments, it was a disaster.

While we the business public welcomes new innovations to mobile broadband download speeds we are disappointed to learn the upload speeds have not been improved upon. Why is this the case? Do Telstra not understand uplinks speeds are also vitally important for businesses in 2010 and beyond?
 
Also at this stage it appears to be linmited to CBD and some country areas. At the time of writing this blog the area availability checker was not working on the offical Telstra Ultimate page.
 
Maybe someone from Telstra would like the right to reply. If so feel free to enlighten us and win back Webtrons and our readers confidence in their new USB mobile broadband products?

Here's  the link to offical Telstra Ultimate USB broadband info page.

Corporate Websites of today.

Does any body remember the old motor oil TV ad with the slogan "Oils ain't oils'?

Well the same slogan could easily be reworked today to represent corporate websites "Websites ain't websites"

Gone are the days when companies websites web design acted as nothing more than a magazines style presentation with cheesy pictures and an endless woffle of words.

Perhaps I should rephrase this statement, the companies doing well online in corporate circles have started to realize- these days to compete and lead your competitors you need to have your web design incorporate more interesting and interactive website dynamic content.

Clients today demand and deserve more

Corporate websites that have these creative web design features are doing well:

• Fresh dynamic Content
• Blogs
• Professional video - marketing , education & training
• Interactivity (often spoken about rarely understood)
• Personable (remember people buy from people)

I recently returned from business in the US.

My observations  I want to share with you is that the US for all it's finiancal problems is going through a technology revolution in both the office and home. The US is really adopting the below new technology products in everyday use. You will either know about them or soon will!
 
I believe these changes are going to sweep Australia shortly these amazing.
new product terms are on everybodies lips and in everybodies home or business.

Remember these names NetFlix, Pandora, Slingbox, GrooveShark, LED TV's, 3D TV's, GoGo Inflight Internet, 
, IPad 3G, Blue Ray players and hybrid cars.

The internet in Australia has been and will continue the most significant business marketing, sales and communication tool for business this century. It can be a goldmine.

But I am still astounded of how many businesses have not taken the time to analyse their potential online. A well thought out online strategy tailored for your specific business has the potential to reward your company and its clients many times over. Don’t settle for anything less.

When Webtron launched in 2007 we predicted online web video would revolutionize the Internet. Not only did Webtron talk the talk we walked the walk, we made our website like unlike any other at that time, it featured video as the cornerstone.
 
Furthermore we predicted the Internet was changing from a magazine style medium full of static pictures and text to a new medium similar to TV featuring video. And the businesses that understood this would reap the benefits that this technology advance would bring. We have helped many well known companies achieve this since 2007.

Predictions are always predictions but in this case if your business engaged our services you will already know the benefits Video brings. For example the longer time spent on your website by visitors or the clear communication of your businesses USP.

Today Melbourne's Herald Sun reported on respected Nielson's Report findings Australians among biggest online video viewers, Nielsen 2010 Internet and Technology report shows


The great news for you reading this is it's definitely not too late!  in-fact you have the chance still to perhaps be the first in your industry to adopt the video as a driver of sales, marketing and communication for your business from your website.  The benefits can be significant.
 
So what are you waiting for?  call Webtron and we will assist you every step along the way.

There is nothing new about Tablet computing.  The Amazon Kindle has been a much sort after item for a few years now. But here’s where the comparisons will end. The Kindle in its present form looks like a bulky Black & White TV compared to the Apple iPad with it's new shiny new Colour flat screen. The Kindle is now dead in the water.

Here's what they look like side by side.



 So how does Apple intend to take touch Tablet computing to the masses?

The 2010 computer user is way more tech savvy than say the 2007 computer user. How I hear you say?

Look around you. Every day you see people in the train, airports, shopping centres, cars and coffee shops using touch screen technology in the form of an iphone one of the worlds most successful and widely used smart phones. Chances are you or someone close to you is an Apple iPhone evangelist. Apple has seeded a whole new generation of computer users to understand and demand this colour light weight stylish touch screen tablet computing. It has revolutionised mobile fast at your finger tips computing. It’s already here and you’re using it without probably ever thinking about it in the mini form. The iPad is the iPhone and iTouch big brother.

So when the iPad is officially available in stores millions of consumers around the world will know how to start using the iPad straight away. It will be one of the must have products of this next decade. Think of the possibilities…….

Here are just some of the top of my head in a business sense.
•    Mobile email and messaging (especially when 3G model arrives later in 2010)
•    Web surfing and client website research
•     Video calls (especially when 3G model arrives later in 2010)
•    On the run research and meeting preparation
•    Study readings
•    Cloud computing client video and slide presentations (no Flash)
•    Fast Video presentations and applications (especially when 3G model arrives later in 2010-no Flash)

•    The list is limitless especially when you take into account the thousands of apps that will enhance the iPad

•    Our advice for business is wait until the iPad 3G is available and watch worker productivity and client business revenue soar.
