Privacy Buttons For Vehicle Tracking Systems

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Vehicle tracking systems are great. They help you run the mobile side of your business 100 times more effectively. They help keep track of your staff so that they cannot get away with skiving and also put in false over time claims.

They also help you to lower fuel bills and insurance premiums. Tracking can help your business in a myriad of ways, but one criticism that vehicle tracking systems have always had is the lack of privacy that comes with them.

This problem has now been solved, well at least partially solved. Now GPS vehicle tracking systems can come with a privacy button. This button disables the real time tracking so that managers cannot view the whereabouts of a vehicle live. This is only to be used out of work hours and the tracking information is still collected and stored for use a later date to work out petrol usage. Therefore this is not complete privacy. This feature is only likely to be used on company cars which are allowed to be used out of office hours. Van drivers are not so likely to have the pleasure of using this feature.

The Best Android Mobile Phone: HTC Tattoo

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Being the current flagship Android unit of HTC, the HTC Tattoo is organized to bring the Android program to a broader market by making it become a very cost-effective mobile phone in comparison to its precursors.

The HTC Tattoo is about the same as the HTC Touch 3G only that it operates on the Android program instead of the Windows mobile operating system but is still fairly similar in terms of technical specs. The HTC Tattoo phone has a 2.8″ 240 x 320 pixel touch sensitive display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, integral Global Positioning System and a digital compass, 3.5G support, WiFi and microSD expandable storage.

The Tattoo’s media player can cope with most major formats including MP3, AAC, MPEG4 and Windows Media. A 3.5mm audio socket is also a nice and a big betterment over the past models that has the USB headphone setup instead. An FM radio is incorporated as well for those individual who likes to listen to their favorite radio station.

HTC Tattoo have packed the standardized Android bundle and have worked their magic on it, making a unified means of tracking inter-group communications, and a variation of the TouchFLO interface on top. There are all sorts of Google package involved as well, such as Google Maps.

Design-wise the HTC Tattoo has a really sleek construction. A very compact device measuring approximately 106 x 55 x 14mm and weighing about 113 grams. The 1100 mAh battery is quoted as being good for 5 hours 40 minutes talktime on 3G and 21 days standby time, which will probably make it a practical phone for all-day use.

At the heart of this good mobile device is a Qualcomm MSM7225 528 MHz processor with 256 MB of RAM.

HTC say that the Tattoo will be available in Europe in October with other regions following later, maybe with varying UMTS frequencies.

There are rather a few Android handsets about now, the question is, is there really a “mass market” for this kind of mass market Android phone? We will just have to wait and see.
