Webcam vs tablet vs smart phone

I live in an area where I can only get dial-up internet, there is no cable or dsl. I would like to be able to video chat/skype with friends and family that live far away. what would be easier/ more economical a tablet, usb internet connection with webcam, or a smart phone?

Hi! Yes some great recommendations from other responders. I'm sure you like to keep things inexpensive but it is unfortunate to live in an area that is unable to provide better utility Services such as Cable/ FIOS or DSL (due to distance to Central Office as need to be within 3000 foot range).
Therefore, Wireless be suitable but also at a much higher cost. You could do Mobile/ Cellular devices and drop your regular landline telephone provider plus Dialup and go anywhere. Possible to connect your computer via USB Port to the 3G / 4G
for 100 % better internet performance. It really depends on your Income/ Budget what you can afford.
Make sure your area is serviceable from the provider before buying.
As mentioned most BB Stores have a Mobile Dept. Best of Luck!

My tablets and smart phones connect to the printer as if it was a router bypassing my router

Deskjet 3520
What happens is when the wireless devices connect to the printer they are not connected to the internet. Unfortunately if I block the connection, I can no longer print wirelessly. I suspect that someone smarter than me can figure out a solution.
Thanks

We usually print from the cloud because of our tablets an cell phones, but we can print through the network.
The printers are on the same home network.
My tablets and cell phones see the printer as a different wireless service (router) since the printer was in the same room as the router there were situations that the printer signal was slightly stronger than the router so they connected.
update: I moved the printer into another room some distance from the router and the problem is now solved, my tablets etc. no longer change from my router.
Thank you,
Larry

Niche publisher that wants to publish pocket books to Tablet and Smart Phone Device

I am a niche publisher (partime), we have 5 books published updates every year, 3 book will contain 350+ pages, 2 others 128 pages.
Currently they are Colour Cover with Black and white text(will turn to colour when published digitally).
I have published one via an Epub APP both on Itunes and Android, but this has not worked epub destroyed
the layout and the reall function of these pocket books as Reference with the illustration to text.
I have looked at other vendor to use a supplyed solution, but they only cater for the Magazine that has X pages a month, or has xxx downloads a month. Expensive and time consuming.
I Know I will not make a huge amount of money on either at the moment, but the costs to Run ADP.
Single edition one off cost £345.00 ....... but does that mean exactly that. I can only publish once and be damed!!! ?
so if I want to publish 3 books it would be 3 x 345.00?
Or do I have to pay £300 a month to publish more then one publication. ( I don't earn that from the book sales).
Some months I would be paying for nothing.
Can someone advise which is the best way to approach this!
Adobe Digital Pubishing is this really the correct solution or is there another ways?
PS --- I am not an APP programmer.
Regards
JH

Single edition is exactly that. Once and done.
There is no monthly cost and no download fees besides the Apple 30% commission.
I warn you however that Apple has been known to reject books as apps so you’d be well advised to consider this carefully before proceeding and make sure to have significant interactivity.

After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on. If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
my wife's iphone and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems. How can I fix this???
Thanks.

Hi,
First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
Restore your computer by following the way listed below:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
Hide the update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:

I hope it works for you .

I have created a series of pdf schematics in a portfolio that revolves. For the field service techs I would like it to work on a smart phone or tablet. On the phones and tablet, they do not revolve. Any idea's? I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. It looks great and works as expected on my system, but the techs cannot scroll through the different prints.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

IF you have installed/activated Verizon Message+ on your phone, then yes you can. If not, you are out of luck.
If they are iMessages on an iPhone, you could log into your iMessage account on an Apple computer to read the iMessages, but would be unable to view SMS/MMS.

Les fonctions de commentaire et fichier joint ne fonctionne pas sous smart phone et tablette?

J'utilise Adobe Acrobat pro X (sous Windows) pour créer un PDF et j'utilise la fonction ajouter des commentaires pour ajouter des Pop Up. Tout fonctionne très bien sous Windows, mais lorsque je veux le lire sur un iPhone ou iPad cela ne fonctionne pas. Je perds tous les commentaires. Ce PDF doit être compatible avec toutes les plateformes (ordi, smart phone, tablette, Windows, Apple, Androïde) Comment puis-je faire?

Si vous utilisez une application tierce, n'hésitez pas à jeter un œil à l'application officielle Adobe Reader qui me semble proposer cette fonctionnalité.
Si c'était déjà le cas, le panneau des nouveautés, indique certains soucis comme "en cours" de résolution.
D'ici là, n'hésitez pas à poser la question sur le formulaire de demande de fonctions ou directement sur le forum acrobat.

Re-sizing windows to smart phone on cs5

How do I re-size my window to a smart phone on cs5

Use your browser and drag the viewport window to desired width.
If you use Firefox with the Web developer Toolbar, Click Resize > View Responsive Layout. This will display your page in frames of various widths for mobile & tablet portrait/landscape and desktops.

Signing up for Skype on smart phone and on desktop

I signed up for a Skype account today on my android smart phone (HTC Rezound). I entered a user name and password. Tomorrow I want to set Skype up on my desk top computer after I get cable Internet and a Logitech webcam installed. Do I have to set up another Skype account with a different user name and password for my desktop or can I use the same account set up today on my mobile phone? Thanks!

You can use the same account.
If you install Skype on your computer for the first time then you might be presented with registration form, but just cancel it and sign in with your current account

I just want to know what specific smart phones that I can purchase that use Firefox. Thanks.

I am purchasing a mobile phone after not having one for five years. I like to use Firefox at home and need to know specifically what smart phones use this product. The android 2.2 etc. and the rest really does not mean anything to me. You could tell me how to find this information on your website. I found one page that listed devices but then it said something about going to Google Play Store and you lost me. FYI, I have a very sharp learning curve.

Will Firefox work on my mobile device? | How to
Will Firefox work on my mobile device?
Firefox is compatible with Android 2.2 and above devices. Installation requires about 24 MB internal storage, 384 MB of RAM and a display that is at least 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. You can download Firefox for Android or search for Firefox in the Google Play store.
Important: Some of the devices listed here only work with the latest version of Firefox. If you search for Firefox in the Google Play store and don't find it, your device may not be compatible.

MacBook Won't Stay Connected to Smart Phone WiFi

Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on 2 year old macbook pro 2 GHz Intel i7 8 GB memory.
This has been a consistent problem ever since I've owned this MacBook...just that I'm online trying to pay bills tonight and do some business and have had to reconnect every 2 minutes and it's driving me slightly insane.
So here's the deal. On my Verizon smart phones (used to be a Droid, now is a Windows HTC...the phone doesn't seem to matter) I've got the mobile hot spot. I turn it on, it shares the phone's internet connection over a wifi signal. I turn on the sharing on the phone, wait for it to appear in the wifi connection dialog on my mac and then connect. It takes a second and then I'm connected. I go to my favorite banking site, enter my username and password, wait and wait, then look up at the toolbar and notice that I'm not connected wifi anymore. I reconnect to the phone, refresh the website, enter my name and password, login, then start to pay bills and it starts hanging again. I look up at the toolbar, I'm not connected again. I reconnect again, am able to continue working online for a couple of minutes and then it disconnects again. It will do this sometimes two or three times, sometimes five or six times. Eventually it stops disconnecting and I am able to continue working normally for as long as I like.
Now, the mac does not have this problem with any other wifi. If I'm at home connected to my home network, it connects just fine. Starbucks...connects just fine.
Also, none of my other devices have any problem connecting to the phone. My Nexus 7 tablet connects to the phone just fine. My other laptop connects to the phone just fine and there's none of this constant disconnecting.
And right now as I'm looking up at the toolbar I see it's disconnected again.
Why does my MacBook Pro keep disconnecting from my phone's hot spot? How can I diagnose and hopefully fix this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff

I'm having this issue, as well. I have 2 MacBooks and they both lose WiFi after waking-up from sleep. Ever since Lion came to town, this has taken a poop in the connectivity bed.
I state a preferred network, yet after waking up it is no longer connected or grabs some random network. I've tried to tell it only preferred, but it keeps doing its own thing.
VERY ANNOYING.... especially when they fixed the iMac for the issue I am describing. Ughhh.

I have a Droid Bionice, my 1st Smart phone. An install kept coming up ,I did it and everything has changed. I don't knpw what to do...Help...smart phone...dumb person

I bought a Droid Bionic Smart Phone. I loved it so very much. When I was on it and install kept coming up, over & over. I Don't know what it was called but I did look and it didn't say Verizon anywhere but I assumed w/my Lookout security app it wouldn't let anything bad in. But I downloaded it now my icons are different and on my manage apps I use to have only maybe 20 settings now I have a bunch. and the lil icon looks like a blue square app w/the lil cog looking symbol in it. Everytime I try to delete one thinking it will go back to the way it was it says it will cause problems w/all other settings. And also after the icom it says com.motorola.android.deep it says that on about 20 or 25 after the icon.It won't let me disable any of them.
The very 1st icon on my Apps on ,y Apps setting is the blue symbol that looks like a cog, and it has 32.00KB if I try to disable that because I figure it's the mother of all of them it says in a pop up...Disable built -in app-----If you disable a built in app, other apps may misbehave.? That doesn't sound very professional to me.One even says key chain for the app. I don't know what to do. I did look at it and I assumed when it popped up it was a legit thing. I didnt know you had to beware of something that was a pop up on the page.
I don't know if it's a Gingerbread or Ice Cream thing, I just know when I go to my settings it has overtaken 3/4th of my apps. And on most of them it doesny even offer me the chance or choice to disable it. Please somebody help me. I am so new to this. I loved my phone before now it's taken Over everything. I am scared if I run some of the things I see it says on my settings app it runs my phone,it says for instance:
Permission
This App can access the following on your phone
*YOUR LOCATION
coarse (network-based) location,fine (GPS) location
*SYSTEM TOOLS
modify global system settings
STORAGE
SYNC SERVICE
I dont know what any of this is and it says if I stop of close any of it , it will cause the app to fail.
How can I tell what I have downloaded as far as this whole montrosity....SO I can study it and read up what to do. I do't want to lodr my pictures or my pictures on my gallery/ I am afraid I have really screwed it up good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THANK ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME IN ADVANCE....

My yahoo e-mail is not pushing to my iPhone4, again. Had this same problem for several weeks in October/November 2011. It's been a problem again for two weeks now. My kids and husband have three other types of smart phones, and none of them have had this problem. I'm NOT impressed. I've seen that others in the iPhone community have also been having this problem. Is Apple doing anything about it?
