Check out Microsoft latest product, Kin

Posted on April 13, 2010 by admin

The Microsoft Kin is another new project by Microsoft and it is aimed at the teenage generation. The product focuses a lot on social networking and social media. Knowing more about the project is possible through Kin.com

Like most Microsoft websites, Kin.com is full of video and animation. In fact, the whole website is built through the use of both Silverlight and Flash. This may be an SEO hazard but knowing Microsoft and how they rely not on search engine but through contents such as press releases and the blogosphere, this action will not harm them in any way. In fact, a lot of tech websites are currently covering the Microsoft Kin.

The usage of Flash makes the website very interactive. Due to the limited contents available and the focus on videos instead of writing, there isn’t a need of the user scrolling down to get further information about the product. In fact, most of the pages here bear no need of scrolling.

Kin.com highlights 4 different components under the Introducing Kin section while the other 3 sections are called About Us, The Journey and Follow us which is a section dedicated on social networking website. Nothing is complex here and everything is straightforward making it a joy to browse on this website.

All in all, Kin.com offers a lot of information about the Microsoft Kin which is trendy mobile phone made by Microsoft for teenagers today.

Using Adobe Photoshop online through Photoshop.com

Posted on April 12, 2010 by admin

Adobe has done a lot of wonderful products with its most successful, the Adobe Photoshop series. There are a lot of version of the Photoshop such as the Extended, Lightroom and even the online version called the Adobe Photoshop Express.

One unique feature of the Adobe Photoshop Express is that it can be used for free! However, unlike Picnik, users will have to register before they will be able to sue Adobe Photoshop Express. Those that have an Adobe ID can use those instead. Adobe Photoshop Express comes with a 2GB space which would be more than enough for those wanting to do minor edits.

Those that do not want to register yet can also test the Adobe Photoshop Express through the Test Drive button available. On a slow connection, it may take quite some time before everything would load well.

The features here are rather limited and we find that Picnik has a more powerful interface as compared with the Photoshop Express. However, Picnik does not support the storage of photos at its free plan.

There might be a piece of bad news for iPad users however. This is because since the iPad does not support Flash and will most probably never support it, users of the iPad cannot use application as it runs on Flash.
