The Sunday Business Post Goes Digital

Published on January 16, 2012 by in Business, Current Affairs, Featured App, Media

The Sunday Business post launched their app a few months ago and as an avid reader of the Sunday print edition and subscriber to their online newsletter, I decided to try out the SBP app to see if it was worth the fuss (or as good as Pembroke’s chief made it out to be!). First thing to know is that the SBP app is an iPhone and iPad app, so a lot of readers who do not have this type of smartphone will have no access it as yet. However, no doubt an Android option will soon be available for

iPhone App of the Week – FilmOn Live TV

Published on August 24, 2011 by in Entertainment, Featured App, Lifestyle

I came across this app last week thanks to a friend who has recently moved house and was desperate for her reality TV fix. FilmOn allows you to stream live TV straight to your iPhone or iPad and it apparently works with Apple TV too. The TV channel list is pretty impressive with a large number of UK stations including, ITV (1-4), BBC (1-2), Channel 5 and an exclusive list of FilmOn’s own film and sports channels. It’s a little bit buggy at times and can be slow to load but this app has generally worked pretty well for me.

Published on July 20, 2011 by in Entertainment, Featured App

Ever wanted to create your own music but find yourself deficient in musical talent? Now even the most tone deaf of iPhone owners can create sweet music, well kind of. Songify is a fun new app that allows you to turn speech into song! How does it work? Once you have downloaded the app you will need to think up a catchy phrase to form the words of your song. For example, I decided to write a song about the Pembroke office that goes, “We like pr, public relations equals communication. We like pr, yes we do.” You can see

QR codes are set to be BIG for 2011. These square, scrambled symbols read like barcodes and have specific information for each formation. When you scan them with a device such as an iPhone you will be taken to a specific web page that will relate to the product or service being advertised. They can be seen everywhere, from the back of DVDs to outdoor billboards ads. They have proved very popular in many technology focused countries in Asia but they are set to become a new age marketers tool this year. QR codes represent a new digital way of
