Episode 3: Treo 700w

This week, the Simply Digital guys discuss the Treo 700w — a Windows Mobile Smartphone. The Treo line has proved to be a VERY popular line of smartphones for Palm, Inc., and with the 700w, Palm is branching out into a whole new mobile phone space. If you’re a big fan of Windows, this could be the mobile phone you’ve been waiting for.

In Episode 3, Michael Ashby and Analog Dave explain the basics of what a smartphone is, why they are useful and what types of costs there are in owning one. If you want the power of a PDA merged with your mobile phone, then the Treo could be the device that fits the bill.

Episode 2: Firewalls

This week, the Simply Digital guys discuss the cornerstone of your Internet security - Firewalls. Although firewalls may not seem all that exciting of a topic, they are a key component in keeping your computer safe, especially if you use a high-speed Internet connection. Given how inexpensive these devices are today, there is really no reason not to have one.

In Episode 2, Michael Ashby and Analog Dave discuss the in’s and outs of firewalls. From defining what they are, to where to find them, to even how to install them. By the end of the podcast, you should be armed with everything you need to know to secure you office and/or home Internet connection.

Episode 1: Podcasts

For the very first Simply Digital podcast, Michael Ashby and Analog Dave give a brief introduction about the show and themselves, then dive first into the topic of Podcasts. Although at first glance, talking about podcasts IN a podcast may seem a bit redundant, but this episode really serves as a primer for those just getting into the medium.

Since Simply Digital is a podcast, what better way to kick things off than by breaking down this new technology? Episode 1 explains exactly what a podcast is, how to find them on the internet, and (of course) how you can subscribe to them so that they automatically download to your computer or digital audio player.
