Mikogo Releases Cross-Platform Remote Support Software

Backing up the successful Mac Beta version last month, Mikogo has released its cross-platform remote control feature for Mac users. Available at no cost for both commercial and private use, companies can now employ Mikogo from both Mac and PC computers for not only web conferences and online meetings but also remote support.

Mannheim, GERMANY April 15, 2009 – Mikogo has announced the release of the new remote control feature for its Mac Beta version, equipping the free cross-platform web conference software with a valuable remote support function. The news comes shortly after the successful release of Mikogo’s first Mac Beta version a month ago, and complements Mikogo’s version for PC computers.

Both Mikogo’s PC and Mac versions (http://www.mikogo.com) provide an easy-to-use web conferencing solution that allows any private user or company to organize an online meeting with up to 10 participants. Following today’s release, Mikogo users have a multi-purpose cross-platform application for online meetings as well as remote support, and all at no cost.

“Since last month’s Beta version, Mac users have been picking up our software for online meetings, web conferencing and screen sharing,” explains Erik Boos, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Now with the new remote control feature, companies have an all-in-one software application that allows them to not only make Web presentations and conferences but also assist clients via remote support.”

While being available for businesses at no cost is undoubtedly an attractive feature, it is Mikogo’s ease of use and cross-platform function that will most likely appeal to a growing crowd. Users can organize a desktop sharing session, share any screen content, invite multiple participants, and access remote control, regardless of whether the organizer or participants are using Mac or PC computers.

“Whether someone wishes to organize a web conference or remote support session, Mikogo will establish a connection quickly without any need to make network or firewall changes,” says Boos. “Ease of use is a must for our users, and we are happy to make screen sharing and remote support so simple on both Mac and PC computers.”

Equipped with 256-bit AES encryption to ensure the security of all involved, along with a range of desktop sharing features, Mikogo is quickly and strongly establishing itself as a multi-purpose cross-platform application for online collaboration.

Servo Motors and Industrial Control Theory presents the fundamentals of servo motors and control theory in a manner that is accessible to undergraduate students, as well as practitioners who may need updated information on the subject. Graphical methods for classical control theory have been replaced with examples using mathematical software, such as MathCad and MatLab, to solve real-life engineering control problems. State variable feedback control theory, which is generally not introduced until the Masters level, is introduced clearly and simply for students to approach complicated problems and examples.

The 8051 microcontroller family has been well-known over many years. The development of new derivatives is not finished yet. From time to time new powerful derivatives are announced. You will find derivatives from Philips, Dallas, Analog Devices and Cygnal and others with the known 8051 core but enhanced clock and peripherals.  For example, complete analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog subsystems were integrated in some chips. Atmel developed the AVR microcontroller family which is well suited for high-level language programming and in-system programming. For all those microcontrollers there is development software ranging from simple assemblers for DOS to integrated development environments for Windows95/98/NT on the market. Apart from programming environments for professional applications, also the more economical and nonetheless sufficiently equipped development environments can maintain ground. BASCOM-8051 and BASCOM-AVR are development environments built around a powerful BASIC compiler which is suited for project handling and program development for the 8051 family and its derivatives as well as for the AVR microcontrollers from Atmel. The programming of microcontrollers using BASCOM-8051 and BASCOM-AVR will be described in this book. Some applications help understand the usage of BASCOM-8051 and BASCOM-AVR.

Billed as the world's first solar-powered touchscreen handset, the Blue Earth—like the recent Motorola Renew—is built out of recycled water bottles, and even boasts a pedometer that tracks how many trees you've saved by walking rather than driving.
Details on the Blue Earth, which is slated to get its close-up at next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, are still sketchy; Samsung has yet to announce pricing or availability, nor any details on the built-in camera, internal storage, media features, or data capabilities.

What we do have, though, are some images—specifically, the one that shows a big solar panel on the back of the phone (there's also a camera lens sitting just above the panel). Presumably, you can charge the Blue Earth anytime it's sitting face-down in direct sunlight—but how long would it take to get a full charge? Still waiting for those details.
On the front of the Blue Earth, we have a full-on touchscreen, complete with Samsung's new, widget-friendly TouchWiz interface and dedicated Talk and End buttons. Samsung says the handset also comes with Bluetooth, a one-click, energy-efficient "Eco Mode," and an "Eco Walk" app (pictured above) that tracks your footsteps and calculates how much you've reduced your carbon footprint.

Samsung says the handset also comes with Bluetooth, a one-click, energy-efficient "Eco Mode," and an "Eco Walk" app (pictured above) that tracks your footsteps and calculates how much you've reduced your carbon footprint.

Like the Motorola's green "Renew" phone (which I reviewed last week), the Blue Earth's shell is molded out of plastic derived from recycled water bottles, and its "small and light" packaging is made out of recycled paper, according to Samsung (which also notes that both the handset and charger are beryllium-, phthalate-, and brominated flame retardant-free).

That's pretty much all we know for now; until then, we'll just have to feast our eyes on the pictures.

So, what do you think: Like the idea of a solar-powered phone? Thoughts on putting the solar panel on the back of the phone? Fire away.
