There is definite move from fixed desktop computing to Mobile Computing.

Smartphones allow you to perform most daily computer tasks anywhere, and allow Bloggers or writers to be creative anywhere.

The iPhone range of phones are popular but often the price puts potential users off.

Three have just announced their prices for both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3gs, and by opting to provide the device on 2 year contracts the initial pricing is cheaper. This will open the door to users original put off by the high outlay.

With 3′s iPhone pricing you can pick up a 3gs for no initial outlay, and an iPhone 4 for only £99 pound upfront on a £30 a month contract, or free on a £45 pound a month contract

The way people are watching TV is changing, people are moving away from watching TV programs at scheduled times of transmition to watching their favourite programs at a time which suits them. The method of content delivery is changing as well, with more viewers watching TV on their computers rather then on a TV, in fact  never have viewers had as much flexibility or choice, they can choose when, where and how.

No longer are bloggers tied to their desktop computers and Modems.

There are now many ways that a blogger can write articles whilst on the move.

Wifi is becoming more readily available, from homes to libraries to coffee shops, so any wifi equipped device from Laptop to iPod touch can be used to go on line and blog.

So what happens if you haven’t got access to Wifi but want to blog, well there’s the 3g mobile networks.

Most modern mobile phones include an Internet browser which can be used to write blog posts and some will even provide dedicated blogging apps, but for longer posts the lack of  a dedicated keyboard can be a problem.

The Mobile Internet can be provided to laptops or netbooks through 3g usb dongles,  where a true Internet experience at a respectable speed can be achieved for a reasonable cost, but this only allows one device to connect a once, and the device needs to be a computer.

Another option is to get a 3g to wifi router like the 3 Mifi. Theses devices provide access to the 3g data networks through a portable wifi router, so any wifi enabled device can access the net and be used for blogging. These devices also allow multiple devices to connect at the same time.

So never feel that you can only blog from home, there are many options that allow you to blog from anywhere.

I’ve found myself posting more and more technology and videogame news and articles on this blog, and as they are topics that really interest me I thought I would create a dedicated blog where I can write just about these subjects.

I’ve registered a Domain name: http://techplay-experience.com/ and created a blog there and my first task has been to install Google Analytics using the Google Integration Tool Kit.

I’ve been following the video game RUSE for a while, as it  takes the concepts behind table top war gaming and  integrates them into a computer and console video game.

There have been a number of videos released which show how the game play works in detail….and the game is looking superb.

This latest video shows how tactics play a big part of the game and how decoys can be used to gain the advantage of your enemy.

RUSE is an forth coming multi format Real Time Strategy game, which goes back to the routes of the genre by replicating the mechanics of table top war Gaming.

In a technolical twist the game appears to be compatible with the soon to be release Microsoft Surface Interface where users interact with the computer through a touch screen table top.

The video below shows how well this form of control really integrates traditional Table Top War Gaming with technology.
