Three new features will be added to the AVG Security Toolbar:

  • A Facebook button to allow users to access their Facebook page, update their status and stay notified with customised alerts
  • A Skype button to launch a Skype client (if one has already been installed)
  • Customised weather information

The main feature of this release is the addition of Facebook functionality, allowing customers to access Facebook features via the toolbar.

Using AVG Toolbar 4.5 you will be able to:

  • Update your status from the toolbar
  • Receive Facebook notifications. The Facebook notifier (pops up in the lower right hand corner of the screen, just above the system tray) shows new messages, friend requests, event invitations, pokes and all other notifications (e.g. someone has posted something on your wall). Users can decide which notifications they receive.
  • Easily see new pokes, friend requests and messages through a small icon next to the main Facebook icon on the toolbar.

Also you can access key Facebook features, directly from the toolbar:

  • Home: Takes user to their Facebook home page
  • Profile: Takes user to their Facebook Profile page
  • Photos: Takes user to the “Photos” section of their Facebook profile
  • Inbox: Displays the number of unread messages on their Facebook page
  • Friend Requests: Displays the number of unprocessed friend requests
  • Share a link: Takes the user to the “Links” section where the user can post a link
  • Update Status: Clicking on this item launches the following app window which allows the user to enter a status message that will posted to the user’s “wall”.

The toolbar will be useful to AVG users which use Facebook and Skype often.

I want a smart phone

May 17th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Buy Gadgets

I want to buy a smart phone but I can’t decide. Maybe you can help me choose a model because in the last few weeks I’ve been reading reviews, comparing hundreds of Mobile phones, reading forums and blogs and talking with my friends.

There is no rush buying the phone since my actual one (Nokia express music) is working ok, but I want to have a Smartphone.

One of my friends asked me ”Why don’t  you get a iPhone? It is a great super phone and you will find many iPhone contracts and offers online.”

That made me think. I’ve never considered iPhone as a possibility – don’t ask me why because I don’t know.

To make a long tale short I now want the Apple iPhone 3GS (16GB).

Apple iPhone 3GS

Apple corporation is well known for the quality of their products and the iPhone seem to have all the futures I need.

iPhone 3GS comes with amazing benefits for business users. Right out of the box, it connects to Microsoft Exchange, providing access to email, calendar and contacts. Using Safari for full-featured web browsing, securely access corporate intranet resources wherever you go. From Mail, to Voice Memos, to Maps, iPhone includes dozens of easy-to-use, innovative features to help you get things done.

  • Push email, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Exchange
  • Attachment support for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and image files
  • Web browsing with Safari
  • Business applications in the App Store

I like the phone but I will not buy it yet because I want to shop around and find the best deal.
