Can’t keep up with modern technology? Wondering if you should buy a digital camera now, or wait a few months for the next generation? Perhaps paradoxically, the internet can provide some guidance.

This site covers the whole spectrum of information technologies, including mobile networks. Under the term “udělátka” you will find the latest technological toys, but updated internet news leads the way. Users can also find the best tariffs for switched or fixed connections in this country, including novelties planned by the GSM operators. Separate subsections, such as hardware and software, are sufficiently informative, and the link to Windows is interesting, as it reveals advice and tricks for improving the operating system.

One of the oldest news sites dealing with mobile communication, and part of the www.iDnes web site alliance. Although colorful, with high-quality photographs, it’s aimed at the mainstream, with a poor showing of specialized information. In addition to tests, reviews, comparisons of individual handsets, and tips about interesting novelties, this site devotes a surprising amount of space to the operators and their press releases.

word of the month:
Bluetooth
– Wireless communication is today’s most frequently repeated catchword. Bluetooth is leading the crowd of equipment that works together invisibly. While mobile phones communicate via infraports, which require clear line-of-sight paths, Bluetooth is transmitted through up to 10 meters indirectly. This is made possible by a small chip that was cooperatively developed by Ericsson, Toshiba, IBM, Nokia, and Intel. The chip allows wireless communication between, say, a printer and a notebook, or a hands-free earpiece and a mobile phone. Bluetooth is the most widely used type, but the WiFi standard – considerably faster, but also more expensive – is hot on its heels.
