The 2005 Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Assocation (CTIA) wireless conference was held March 14-16 in New Orleans.

Nikon has announced the newest addition to the Coolpix line of digital cameras, the Nikon Coolpix S1. The 5.1 megapixel camera features a 3x optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD in a 3/4-inch thick body.

Picasa 2 is a great program for the home user to modify, organize and share pictures. It's easy to learn, hard to mess things up and the user interface is fun and pretty. There are enough image editing and manipulation features to let a home user play around with "lite" versions" of some of the effects and fixes that imaging professionals apply to their photographs. The download is also free. I'd highly encourage anyone to download the application and give it a try. It doesn't take very long to learn and if you don't like it, you haven't lost any money.
