										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost a year after it was launched in China, the <a href="https://blog.vive.com/us/2018/11/08/htc-vive-launches-full-suite-premium-vr-offerings-businesses-sizes/">HTC Vive Focus VR Headset </a>is being released worldwide to 37 markets with a new focus on business interests touting itself as an “all-in-one solution for enterprise”. It will launch on November 11 for $999AUD.</p>
<p>It’s part of a larger attempt to make HTC VR headsets appealing to companies, including a newly announced collaboration app called Vive Sync, which lets employees in different offices meet and work together in VR.</p>
<p>Although VR headsets have recently been marketed towards gaming, HTC has recognised that VR has is very relevant to businesses in particular automotive design, medical training, situational training, and location-based enterprises.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-109466" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/intro.png" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/intro.png 1200w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/intro-300x241.png 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/intro-768x617.png 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/intro-1024x823.png 1024w" alt="" width="1200" height="964" /></p>
<p>The set is priced at $999, with the option of upgrading to the Vive Enterprise Advantage service package which will provide commercial licensing, dedicated support for VIVE Enterprise products, and more.</p>
<p>HTC’s Vive Focus does not require a phone or an external PC. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, offers a resolution of 1440 x 1600 per eye and the battery lasts up to three hours.</p>
<p>However, it uses HTC’s Vive’s proprietary Android-based platform Vive Wave rather than Google Daydream. Vive Wave is now used by many third-party manufacturers, mainly in China.</p>

<p>HTC has also announced a new collab tool dubbed Vive Sync, which enables VR conference calls allowing users to brand the VR environment and import virtual objects to share with others in the enterprise application.</p>
<p>This feature can also be integrated with Office 365. Trials for this are set to being in December ahead of the Q1 launch next year.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canon has added two new printers to its PIXMA all-in-one range however the company has refused to let SmartHouse staff ask any questions. They are also refusing to give journalists a retail price because of &#8220;retail pricing sensitivity&#8221;.</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" >Canon PR executives who are anal over the early release of any information on their products believe that printers are still an important part of the IT food chain despite most mass retailers treating them as a commodity that is today purchased when consumers want to upgrade their printer or when a printer has stopped working.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >The big new feature from Canon is an Intelligent Touch System that incorporates a LED display screen that lights up when you want to print and then turns itself off.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" > Canon Australia&#8217;s Brand Manager, Beryl Thomas claims that the compact PIXMA all-in-one printers allow users to produce calendars, t-shirt transfers, photos and CD/DVDs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >Canon is also trying to jump onto the Full HD Movie bandwagon with an option that allows users to print out Full HD prints.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >The two printers are Wi-Fi certified and have a 9600 x 2400 dpi. The company claims that it can create a 4 x 6 inch borderless photo in approximately 20 seconds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >What is not highlighted is the high cost of Canon inks when printing this type of image.</p>
<p>Film and Slide Scanning, another unique feature on the MG8150, let users print from negative and positive films (35mm film or slides). Both the MG8150 and MG6150 contain a 6-colour Individual Ink System including pure grey ink, which reduces graininess, to produce true-to-life photo quality and stunning black and white prints that resist fading.</p>
<p>In addition, both the PIXMA MG8150 and MG6150 feature direct CD/DVD printing.</p>
<p>The MG6150 and the &nbsp;MG8150 will be available from October 2010 through Canon dealers nationally.&nbsp;</p></div>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>TRENDnet, manufacturers of networking products, have announced a new 108Mbps Super-G Wireless family of products which promises to delivers faster speeds at farther distances.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TRENDnet, manufacturers of networking products, have announced a new 108Mbps Super-G Wireless family of products which promises to delivers faster speeds at farther distances.<P>&#8220;The installed base of 802.11 WiFi users has grown rapidly over the past couple of years, so it is important to ensure backward compatibility with previous standards,&#8221; stated Matthew Mann, managing director, BAXIT Services, the distributor of TRENDnet products in Australia. </P><P>&#8220;The Super G MIMO product line delivers better performance for both Super G MIMO and existing 802.11b/g users providing assured compatibility and helping protect previous technology investments.&#8221;</P><P>The new MIMO Router and Access Points support Traffic Shaping Quality of Service (QoS) which prioritises multimedia traffic such as Online Gaming, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and multimedia audio/video streaming. These high bandwidth applications require a fast and reliable network connection. Combined with 108Mbps Super G speed, the new family is ideal for multimedia enthusiasts. </P><P>MIMO uses multiple transmitters and receivers to send identical data along different paths finding the fastest, most reliable wireless connection possible. By having multiple radio transmitters and antennas, the range and strength of the signal is increased, not only for Super G MIMO clients, but for regular 802.11b/g clients as well. As a result, current WiFi users will experience performance improvements without the need for a dual-end MIMO solution.</P><P>The intelligence behind the antenna solution is often described as &#8220;beam forming.&#8221; The router receives feedback from the client adapter and has the ability to focus the direction of the signal around potential interference. This adaptive transmitting feature helps provide a more reliable signal at extreme ranges. </P><P>Available now from selected technology outlets, the 108Mbps Super G Wireless family includes the TEW-611BRP Router &#8211; $269, TEW-610APB Access Point &#8211; $269, TEW-601PC PCard &#8211; $149 and TEW-603PI PCI Adapter &#8211; $179 (all prices in AUD$ and inc GST).</P></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The box is a dangerous thing for any technology company. If your designer&#8217;s thoughts get stuck inside it, all that follows is evolutionary product after evolutionary product.<P><FONT class=Heading color=#999999>KODAK EASYSHARE-ONE</FONT></P><P><STRONG>RRP$849&nbsp; |&nbsp; </STRONG><A href="http://www.kodak.com.au/"><STRONG>www.kodak.com.au</STRONG></A><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></P><P>Consumers get bored, you get bored, the products start to suffer, and ultimately it all comes crashing down around you. <BR>With its EasyShare-one, Kodak&#8217;s proved it has a healthy fear of all things box-like &#8211; it&#8217;s created the most exciting camera we&#8217;ve seen for some time: a camera with a penchant for all things wireless.<BR><BR>Wireless tech means that after a hard day&#8217;s shooting you can upload your images to your computer at the touch of a button or, even better, upload them to the internet from a WiFi hotspot. To us, organising online photo albums from the comfort of a pub sounds like very good news indeed.<BR><BR>We love the EasyShare-one, primarily because it has the potential to be wireless and wireless things, as we all know, are brilliant. <BR>Another brilliant feature of the Kodak is its viewfinder. OK, we&#8217;ve got swivelly screens coming out of every orifice, and while the finder is three inches big, it&#8217;s hardly innovative. But what is smart, however, is that this viewfinder is touch-sensitive and comes with a stylus. This makes organising photos and internet albums easier than a jaunt round the park.<BR><BR>So it&#8217;s user-friendly, but is the camera any good? It covers all the quality bases: 4MP CCD, Schneider-Kreuznach optics and a 3x optical zoom in a chassis just over 10cm wide and less than 3cm deep. It also shoehorns in a 30fps VGA movie mode, 6-shot 2fps burst setting, 3.3x digital zoom and more picture modes than you could ever possibly think about needing.<BR><BR>The final touch that marks the EasyShare-one out among many a competitive compact is its built-in 256MB of storage. Compared to the 10MB-odd that most compacts sport, this is obviously good news. It also means you&#8217;re less likely to need that SDIO slot for memory expansion, so you can be WiFied up at all times. <BR><BR>But if you do want to expand, the EasyShare will support and catalogue up to 1500 stored images. That leaves it entirely up to you to imagine all the possibilities.<BR></P></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian smart handheld device market kicked off the 2005 calendar year on a resounding note with the converged market maintaining strong growth.<P>Dominated by HP, RIM, PalmOne, 02 and Sony Ericsson, these devices that combine data and voice capabilities have taken over the handheld segment.</P><P>Like the iPaq h6300 and the i-mate, giving the user a single device that can handle at least rudimentary PIM functionality along with voice and multimedia is without question the way forward.<BR>In this category, the Research In Motion (RIM) Blackberry phones (pictured), available through Vodafone and Telstra, will increasingly come under pressure in the business market as more phones gain access to corporate email. Growth in 3G will also help sales as improved data rates makes content more accessible.<BR><BR>Optus and palmOne recently announced plans to offer corporate customers an integrated corporate email service on the Treo 650 smartphone. The solution, called MobileMail Corporate is yet another solution in the big push to wireless email access.<BR>The Treo 650 smartphone from palmOne is a quad-band mobile with a good suite of productivity applications, including email, organiser and web access. Naturally based on the Palm OS, users can view, edit and create Word and Excel compatible documents and access PowerPoint presentations. No WiFi, but the device has Bluetooth and the usual array of multimedia capabilities including MP3 player, digital video camera and a large screen.<BR><BR>New to the market is the latest from O2. The Xphone IIm runs Windows Mobile 2003 and is being pitched at commuters on its entertainment strengths. Unlike the phone&#8217;s data centric siblings, the O2 Xda II range, this is a phone first and foremost with less processing power and a focus on easy access to MP3s and video playback. It does however feature Microsoft Pocket Outlook and MSN Messenger to keep you <BR>in touch.</P></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the traditional PDA market is not great, but we predict traditional PDA makers won&#8217;t stay out of the smartphone category for long.<P>IDC recently revealed that the pen-based PDA market took a sequential nosedive in the first quarter of this year, suffering a humiliating 26 per cent crash, while it&#8217;s voice-enabled cousin took all the limelight.</P><P>PDA&#8217;s are still looking for their killer application. Equipping them with GSM/GPRS will certainly help the category, enabling Blackberry-style email connectivity. What is really needed though is for critical business applications such as ERP and CRM to graduate to inbuilt mobile support. Sure you can build it in yourself, but if it comes straight out of the box, it makes it more compelling to business.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, the idea of connecting these troubled islands of computing power is catching on. Of course, then they are not PDAs, they are converged devices and as they morph into the new category, adding voice, VoIP and multimedia features, the lines between PDA and smartphone will continue to blur.<BR><BR>Take the HP iPaq 6300 series as an example along the way. Packed with quad band GSM/GPRS, WiFi and Bluetooth, this device offers real mobility, processing power and all the multimedia features of today&#8217;s mobile phones.<BR><BR>Another in this data-centric category is the i-mate PDA2 (pictured). Just announced, this tri-band, WiFi, Bluetooth phone runs Windows Mobile on a 520MHz XScale processor with 128MB RAM. Email is easily set-up using free hosted Exchange from i-mate. <BR>Both of these products are currently being sold with Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003. Microsoft&#8217;s announcement that Windows Mobile 5.0 features email integration with Exchange servers support will make these platforms more compelling for business users. Coupled with the announcement in March that Symbian is licensing Microsoft&#8217;s Active-Sync technology to deploy as a plug-in, making over the air email a possibility will also bring products like the 3G Motorola A1000 into competition with ; active-sync technologythe Blackberry.</P></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" >The big new feature from Canon is an Intelligent Touch System that incorporates a LED display screen that lights up when you want to print and then turns itself off.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" > Canon Australia&#8217;s Brand Manager, Beryl Thomas claims that the compact PIXMA all-in-one printers allow users to produce calendars, t-shirt transfers, photos and CD/DVDs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >Canon is also trying to jump onto the Full HD Movie bandwagon with an option that allows users to print out Full HD prints.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >The two printers are Wi-Fi certified and have a 9600 x 2400 dpi. The company claims that it can create a 4 x 6 inch borderless photo in approximately 20 seconds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" >What is not highlighted is the high cost of Canon inks when printing this type of image.</p>
<p>Film and Slide Scanning, another unique feature on the MG8150, let users print from negative and positive films (35mm film or slides). Both the MG8150 and MG6150 contain a 6-colour Individual Ink System including pure grey ink, which reduces graininess, to produce true-to-life photo quality and stunning black and white prints that resist fading.</p>
<p>In addition, both the PIXMA MG8150 and MG6150 feature direct CD/DVD printing.</p>
<p>The MG6150 and the &nbsp;MG8150 will be available from October 2010 through Canon dealers nationally.&nbsp;</p></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mobile phone market in Australia is at saturation point with 19.2 million people now using a mobile &#8211; 100 per cent of the available population, according to IDC.<P><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=110 height=59><A onclick="window.open('http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20050715014732e50aa.jpg', 'foo', 'width=400, height=478, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');" href="javascript:;"><IMG src="http://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/articleimages/20050715014732e50aa_110x59.jpg" border=0></A><BR>Click to enlarge</FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD width=110>Netgear&#8217;s RangeMax</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>With all those new notebooks out in user-land though, wireless connectivity becomes all the more important. Data cards could become a thing of the past if the emerging trend to SIM-equip notebooks takes off. Sony has already done this and the Flybook is another example. The growth of 3G networks could make this all the more attractive. 3G offers very usable download speeds, but is a little expensive.</P><P>There are other wireless broadband connectivity options, like Personal Broadband Australia and Unwired. As these networks grow and users become accustomed to the idea (and cost) this is a potentially high volume business. Outside the office, WiFi hotspots remain problematic. But, at work there&#8217;s any number of potential customers out there.</P><P>In the SMB market WiFi is virtually owned by Netgear and D-Link. This is a market that doubled from 2003 to 2004 and it likely has plenty of life left in it. Moving up the scale, Cisco has the corporate market, although the company suffered a very public snub recently when Microsoft chose to ditch the Cisco WLANs and replace them with gear from Aruba Networks.</P><P>Netgear&#8217;s latest offerings implement MIMO wireless technology, RangeMax (pictured), increases wireless coverage 1000 per cent and minimises interference issues. So apart form the cool blue flashing lights, you get better coverage in a whole range of situations. For business though, the less attractive ProSafe range is now being equipped with Power over Ethernet for easy installation.</P><P>Outside the office, wireless broadband offerings are steadily increasing their footprint and, depending on the places your clients like to roam, Unwired or iBurst offer notebook data cards that deliver speeds starting at 256/64Kbps. <BR>The iBurst from Personal Broadband Australia has the advantage of offering a notebook PCMCIA data card alternative, though the Unwired modem is quite small it&#8217;s going to need mains power.</P></p>
