Blackberry Application Provides Bluetooth Dialup Networking for Mac and Windows

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 27, 2006

Brain Murmurs, Inc, a Seattle-based software research and development company, has announced Pulse, a Bluetooth application for the RIM Blackberry that allows the device to be used as a dialup networking modem.

Dialup networking is commonly used to access the internet from a laptop while away from the office network or wifi hotspots. Dialup networking-enabled cell phones can act as virtual modems for the computer, providing reliable internet access through the phone's connection to its carrier network.

Until now, only Windows users have been able to use their Blackberry handheld devices, through the use of a special cable, to share their internet connection. Pulse allows Windows users to share their Blackberry internet access wirelessly and is the first solution to provide Mac users this capability in any form.

"Most high-end mobile phones provide built in dialup networking capability, but the Blackberry has always been a conspicuous exception," said Daniel Pasco, the Brain Murmurs CEO and Chief Engineer. "Pulse can provide your laptop with wireless internet access anywhere your Blackberry is able to connect to its regular internet service. This is a huge deal for users on the road, at remote offices, airports, and so on."

"I've used Bluetooth dialup networking with my Sony Ericsson phone before. Finally, Pulse lets me use my Blackberry 8700 and my Macbook the same way" said Garrett Kelly, a senior engineer at Brain Murmurs. "I like to have it around for those emergency situations when you're outside the range of a standard wireless connection, or just for surfing when I'm waiting around for someone."

Pulse requires a Bluetooth-enabled Blackberry with standard internet access and a Bluetooth-enabled PC or Macintosh to work. The application can be purchased in advance for 50% off and will be available for general sale at full cost by the end of October.

The Saratoga Local Chapter of NAPW Launched a Successful Networking Meeting this September

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

The first meeting of the Saratoga County National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) was convened by Danielle Knapp on September 20, 2011 at the Malta Diner. Attendees included Danielle Knapp, Knapp Insurance Agency; Susan Marlette, Amtech Insurance Brokers; Diane Barnes, Glenns Carpet; Karen Lonnstrom, Black Sheep Web Design; and Lynn Johnson, Long Pond Cabins.

Danielle started out by asking the group to introduce themselves and then Susan Marlette gave a very informative presentation on protecting electronic information that is taken from business customers. A brochure on Cyber Liability Insurance was provided and Susan provided additional data security information via a follow-up email which Danielle forwarded to all attendees.

The information we received from Susan about cyber liability insurance was informative and relevant, Danielle said.

The group then discussed ideas for encouraging new members to attend, future meeting dates and future meeting topics, upcoming guest speakers and potential charity ideas. The following ideas and suggestions were offered by the group:

Future Meeting Dates Several meeting dates were discussed and it was decided to have an evening/dinner meeting one month and a morning/breakfast meeting the next month.

New Member Ideas The group considered distributing the newspaper press release offered by NAPW, creating a Saratoga Local Chapter Facebook Page, hosting a booth at the local Womens Expo next year, searching the internet for databases for women-owned businesses, each member bringing a friend to a future meeting, and contacting the Junior League of Schenectady & Saratoga Counties to see if any of their members would be interested in joining our association.

Charity Ideas The chapter will collect clothing and personal items for the Womens Domestic Violence Shelters. Danielle & Diane will also volunteer at the Shelter to offer free haircuts and/or makeup.

Office Ideas - It was decided that the chapter will vote on positions for Vice President, Secretary & Treasurer at the next meeting in October.

The next meeting of the Saratoga County NAPW is scheduled for Monday October 24, 2011 at 9:00 AM at the Malta Diner. A morning meeting was scheduled to accommodate those that were not able to attend an evening meeting. The November meeting will be scheduled for the third week of November to avoid Thanksgiving and Danielle will check with Sharon at the Malta Diner to see what dates are available.
