		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From everyone at Codegate may we wish you and yours a healthy, happy and peaceful New Year. If the pundits are to be believed 2012 will see the full effect of government cut backs, tax increases and higher commodity prices taking money away from the pockets of the consumer. At least inflation is predicted to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Your Seasonal Gifts Make it on Time?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know the clever, organised ones amongst you will have already purchased and wrapped all your loved ones gifts for the coming festive season, but some of us haven’t been quite so ‘on the ball’. Fortunately for us there are many on-line retailers able to supply gifts right up to the eve of Christmas Eve. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Could Apple’s Siri benefit your business?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You’d have to be living on another planet to miss the launch of Apple’s latest iPhone the 4S, but have you spotted ‘Siri’ the personal assistant and voice recognition application? This is, in my opinion, the most exciting development to hit computing since the microchip!]]></description>

		<title>Has the stylus lost its style? What next for rugged data capture?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are smartphones and tablets changing the way we input data into rugged mobile computers? Back in the bad old days, we entered everything through the keyboard, and on hand held rugged devices it was tough, sometimes involving three key depressions to input one alpha character. Then came a mini version of Microsoft Windows complete with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visitor Logging at Reception. Do You Take Note?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a slight deviation from our normal Auto-ID industry focus, I’d like to discuss a common problem within numerous small businesses, namely; compliance with Health &#38; Safety in the way we record visitors to our premises. We’ve all been to the large companies where the receptionist, seated in a grand foyer, keys our details into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Auto-ID industry there is no bigger hardware manufacturer of rugged mobile devices than Motorola Solutions Inc (MSI), a spin off from Motorola Inc. MSI’s business is split into two main segments Government, including sales of two-way radios and public safety systems and Enterprise which markets Auto-ID products including bar code scanners, mobile computers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Internet of Things, the Auto-ID Utopia!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The concept isn’t new but is brilliant! Everything will have an Internet Protocol (IP) address, every fridge, kettle, painting, sofa, livestock animal, vehicle, you name it – everything. OK, more specifically, everything that can be uniquely identified by an RFID or NFC tag, (or even a 2d bar code) which when you think in Auto-ID [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is RFID a lost cause?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Near Field Communications (NFC) is a form of RFID that I’ve referenced several times in the past and is a continued ‘watch’ on my list of technologies of the future. Last week saw NFC get a significant boost through the formation of a joint venture between Everything Everywhere (which runs T-Mobile and Orange cellular networks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Could you reveal all to your customer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve had the worst recession I’ve ever experienced, arguably we’re still in it, but what can we do to help ourselves out of it? Well one fairly obvious way would be to create profits. No, I’m not being flippant, nor am I bashing the &#8216;save costs by cutting back&#8217; mantra. I really do mean we [...]]]></description>

		<title>On this day a year ago?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On this day last year I asked, “Can iPhone 4 work for business?” following the new iPhone’s introduction at Apple’s 2010 WWDC in San Francisco. At the same event this year, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs shared some amazing numbers before announcing iOS 5, OS Lion for Macs and iCloud – as he said “It’s all [...]]]></description>
