NUMBER is part of iWork, an office suite from apple and NUMBER is the name of it's spreadsheet application.

In excel we have one spreadsheet as one tab. In NUMBER we have one working area and we can put many tables in there.  It's like sticking a post-it in your working area, but they act as a table/spreadsheet. That's cool!

I work a lot with MS Onenote (do similar thing but for text) and wishing to have this feature in there. There are also tables in Onenote but have very limited features.

reduce & control your ’byte’ consumption with firefox’s extension

Flashblock. Many ads appear as flash image & give bigger size that regular image. This extension replace flash objects with a button that you can click to show the flash if you like. It’s appear in on the toolbar as well, click it to switch it on/off as default.

Adblock. Give better ads filter from web-pages.

TimeTracker. show you long you had been online. Browsing is fun, sometimes we forget how long we had been online.

Dibanding PDA, ukuran lebih besar, spesifikasi teknis juga jauh lebih baik.

Dibanding notebook, ukuran lebih kecil, spesifikasi teknis sedikit di bawah.

Spesifikasi teknis tentu
bersifat relatif, ada juga yang sudah setara notebook umumnya. 

Sebagai gambaran prosesor 900mhz, RAM 512 MB, screen 7", hard disk 30 GB.

Tapi dilengkapi dengan feature jaringan (WIFI, bluetooth).

Operating system sudah memakain Windows XP table PC, jadi mendukung hand writing recognition & inking.

Disediakan juga Port USB, external monitor, microphone, ear phones dll. Sehingga bisa juga di gunakan seperti komputer desktop terutama saat bekerja di meja.

Cocok untuk mereka yang selalu bergerak tapi juga memerlukan komputer tapi juga memerlukan sebuah komputer untuk pengolahan data (office document). Sementara mungkin sebuah table notebook masih terlalu berat dan harganya lebih mahal. Sementara mereka juga tidak terlalu memerlukan spesifikasi teknis yang terlalu tinggi.

Harga berkisar antara 900$ (Samsung Q1) - 2000$ (Fujitsu). Ga tau ya udah di jual disini atau belum.

Model yang ada di pasaran antara lain Samsung Q1, tabletkiosk, Fuijtsu, Sony, OQO.  Perbadingan product (disini (http://www.dynamism.com/sa1/main.shtm  )).

• Both has triple band, 1.3mp camera, 256k color, below 1.5mio.


• KG200 has MP3 player, micro SD slot, radio (lovely to have all this music stuff).


• K510 have blue tooth, infra red, email, IM, more contact, longer battery (more feature but less useful).

Tends to choose LG.
BTW this site had detail specification of most GSM handset (http://www.gsmarena.com).

• 3.5” touch screen, high resolution
  
• one button (only) at the front
  
• and no stylus at all! You only have to use your (own) finger.
  
• Smart brightness & orientation sensor (landscape – portrait)
  

Pro: nice appearance, RUIM card, kamera + video, FM radio, MP3 player, external memory, handsfree provided.
Cons: single band, font yang kasar, kamera VGA (at least 1.3M), menu yang kurang intuitif, ga bisa jadi external modem.

Tampilan & fisik. Unpack dari box ada handset, batterei, kartu garansi, manual, quick reference & earphone .. (love it), 'ga usah beli lagi :D.
Tampilannya sendiri cukup elegan dengan warna dasar hitam di tambah frame & back cover silver titanium (love it).
Ukuran kecil & tipis (L45xH102xD14.6) cukup nyaman di pegang. bentuk yang agak lebar, sementara ukuran layar yang standard menyisakan cukup banyak space kosong di depan (waste).
Semau 'lobang' yang ada (earphone, charger, extrnal memory) ditutup sealer sehingga terlihat rapi, bahkan lensa kamera pun memiliki sliding cover. Tapi semua sealer ini ini kelihatan agak fragile - gampang putus.

Display. Dgn 65000 color memang gambar icon yang ada di menu utama yg dibuat lebih detial & animated terlihat bagus. Tapi sayang tidak semua icon memanfaatkan ketajaman ini, beberapa icon seperti di ambil dari versi sebelumnya terlihat terlalu sederhana dan kasar. Demikina juga dengan penggunaan font (yang tidak bisa di customize) terlihat kasar, resolusi tinggi jadi mubasir. Seperti membaca dengan font sans-serif/ MS dialog di monitor 1024, what a waste.
Menu. Ada 9 menu utama. Struktur hirarki nya sendiri sebetulnya cukup simple. Tapi kadang tidak standard, untuk beberapa hal kita harus dig down ke dalam, sementara di tempat lain, scoll ke arah samping (membingungkan). Ada beberapa option juga yang tidak masuk dalam menu ini, jadi semacam menu tersembunyi. Misalkan kita ingin mematikan atau mengecilkan volume tuts sewaktu di tekan, caranya dari posisi stand by, klik tombol volume - saya setengah mati mencari option ini & tidak ada di buku manual pula (hate this). Ada menu yang hanya muncul saat kita melakukan/menerima panggilan (speaker phone).
Bila kita meng-highligh satu menu, akan muncul satu baris tambahan di bawahnya yang menunjukan isi parameter untuk menu tersebut (jika kita highlight auto-key-lock, baris info bisa menunjukan 'off' yang merupakan paramater yang aktif). Tapi ini justru menambah cluter dari display, perlu waktu untuk membiasakan diri melihatnya (ditambah font yang jelek).
Navigation. tombol navigasi (←↑↓→) khusus untuk up & down lebih tipis sehingga cukup sulit untuk di tekan. Dalam posisi standby ini masing2 sudah di set untuk sms, MP3, kamera, Radio & WAP (tengah). Biasanya saat kita browsing menu, tombol navigasi paling tengah bisa dipakai untuk memilih option, tapi sekarang pilihan dilakukan oleh tombol paling kiri. Tombol tengah hanya bisa dipakai saat posisi idle untuk akses WAP (waste).
Camera. Walaupun hanya VGA tapi cukup banyak option yang ditawarkan selain mode (single shot, serial shot, divided shot, video, postcard) size & quality, white balance (auto, daylight, cloudy, incadescent, flourescent, timer), effect (none, mono, sepia, negative, emboss, sketch, some frame, guidelines (3 boxes rule), save target, zoom 4x. Qualitas, belum sempet donwload.
FM Radio. Suara lumayan bersih. Manual scan lumayan ribet harus click per 0.1 Mhz. Ada juga auto scan, tapi di coba di rumah tidak banyak radio yang kena. Channel bisa di save.
MP3 Player. Belum sempet nyoba, belum ada micro SD -nya.

• Greasemonkey itu, kalo aku liat tool untuk load beberapa baris program (Java Script) untuk memodifikasi tampilan suatu situs. Definisi benernya bisa diliat di Wikipedia. Contoh tampilan google reader bisa dimaximize dengan mengelimate space yg kosong dan memperbesar box data lainnya. Yang bosan dengan tampilan Google yang putih polos bisa bikin jadi biru tua. Menggabungkan tampilan dua account Gmail dalam 1 screen, menggabungkan gmail+g-reader, gmail+gcalendar.
  

• Masangnya gimana:
  • kita harus install greasemonkey-nya dulu (source).
  • Kita pasang script untuk suatu site. Ada beberapa situs yang menyediakan script untuk greasemonkey diantaranya (Kalo mau bikin sendiri juga bisa sih) (ada disini juga)
    • http://userscripts.org/
    • http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScriptsSpecific
    • http://userstyles.org/
• Script yang aku pasang:
  • Google Reader Optimized (optimizing spaces)
  • Gmail Inbox with New Style (more calm color)
  • Gmail Save Search (define, save & use your search easily, really love it!)
  • del.icio.us Prettier

Ada yang tau script lainnya yang menarik?

Why they called it MP 3.0. maybe related to the new ‘term’ web 3.0, which came from last web 2.0 conference. Eris Ristemena had a blog about this web 3.0.

I am with MP yesterday afternoon and watch thing change bit by bit.

• When format in FF is different with IE, but soon get fixed.
• My MP without ad banner (of course I prefer this one)
• I don’t see my profile got disappear, but seems many people notice this.

Most things that people don’t like about MP 3.0, are:

• Missing Profile. Even tough I didn't see it, but they put it back now. yes, I would prefer to keep that as well, at least I want to know where people are come from.
• Adult ads. I don’t see this either. I can still accept ads banner in My Multipy page. Hope it stop there. Many site even worse. Luckily it is not in our own personal site (only with My Multiply page). Other blog provider even put more ads inside.
• They have to learn the new feature. “I hate MP 3.0. I don’t know how to …”. Is it not fair to hate a new thing, just because you don’t know the how-to. If you don’t the how-to then you may hate it.

But they are more on MP 3.0

• My Multiply
  • Is collaboration of previous Multiply Home, Multiply Explore & Post. All in one place. Even post type already differentiated, we can straightly choose what type of post we would like to use.

  

  • There is Message Board Setting for number of item per page, open link window, sorting mode, view mode, next page on the bottom, subscribe-pin-block button & hide mini-profile.
  • 
  • And Custom Filter.

    • Now we can see post from people at certain network-distance. ONLY close, ONLY medium, or ONLY Distant (previously it's goes 'cumulative way').

    • we can select several group at once (previously one or all of them).
    • We can see post for certain user, far beyond our network (previously we have to visit their site).
    • And we can save our filter.
    • 
  • We can hide a post from our message board completely. In fact I would prefer if it could work like others RSS readers. Mark them read or unread. Filter only unread, sort of that. And when a post got replied it mark as unread again.
  • Pin a post to the top most of the list.
  • Subscribe to a post for email alert. Previously we have to make reply to get a n email notification.
  • Hide messages from your message board. As said above.
  • 
  • general layout was not really change I said. Format is different.
  • Photo’s now integrated in My multiply. Showing total number of the photos as well.
• All-in-one Ajaxified photo uploader/album editor.
• Simplified layout, featuring new navigation links at the top of every page.
• Streamlined settings page.
• "My Network" page, showing you precisely who's whom.
  • Its quicker cause now it is always on the top.
  • We can see list people using contact-meter.

  • We can sort by user ID or relationship type (in table view click on column header)

  • option to edit available directly on the right (previously we had to go to a new page).

  • I wish next time I can do edit in batch, many relation are wrong.
  • 
• Dragable (and dropable) video page featuring for quick re-ordering. Like in photo album.
• Even more customizable homepage (hide unwanted boxes!). Unhide option can be found under your avatar (right-top). Not much change in here actually. They just put a link to customizable group.

I think MP 3.0 is cool.
