			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Veraltete Software, Viren und Trojaner. Die Sicherheits-Lage bei Android-Smartphones «erinnert immer mehr an Windows», behauptet die Sicherheitsfirma Kaspersky.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/topelement.jpg"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/topelement-300x150.jpg" alt="" title="topelement" width="300" height="150" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-106" /></a></p>
<p>Die Sicherheits-Gurus von Kaspersky haben den Malware-Report für das erste Quartal 2011 vorgestellt. Wenig Erfreulich ist der Bericht für Googles Smartphone-Betriebssystem Android. Die rasch wachsende Verbreitung von Android erinnere zunehmend an die Dominanz von Windows im PC-Segment, schreibt Kaspersky. Android werde daher wie zuvor Windwos in den Fokus der Cyberkriminellen geraten. «Die Vorherrschaft von Android-OS ermöglicht den Virenschreibern, ihre Kräfte zu bündeln und sich auf die Schädlingsentwicklung für hauptsächlich eine Plattform zu konzentrieren. Mit dieser Taktik gelingt es ihnen, eine maximale Anzahl mobiler Geräte zu infizieren.»</p>
<p>Grosse Gefahr gehe bei Android vor allem von mobilen Trojanern aus. Darunter sind gefälschte Programme von bekannten Apps zu verstehen, die ihre Nutzer ausspionieren. Kaspersky verweist in diesem Zusammenhang auf über 50 gefundene Trojaner für Android alleine in den ersten Monaten dieses Jahres. Problematisch sei, dass Android-Apps aus unsicheren Quellen heruntergeladen und installiert werden können (20 Minuten Online berichtete).</p>
<p><strong>Veraltete Android-Versionen gefährden Sicherheit</strong></p>
<p>Derzeit nutzen laut Google knapp 96 Prozent aller Android-Anwender ein älteres Betriebssystem als Version 2.3, die im Dezember 2010 erschienen ist. «Dieser Wert zeigt recht deutlich, dass die Anwender es mit der Aktualisierung ihres Systems nicht allzu eilig haben», heisst es im Malware Report weiter. Verantwortlich für diese scheinbare Bummelei seien aber nicht primär die Nutzer, sondern die Smartphone-Hersteller. Diese würden «wesentliche Veränderungen am Betriebssystem vornehmen, bevor es auf den mobilen Geräten installiert wird.» Danach sei eine Aktualisierung des installierten Betriebssystems nicht immer möglich. Teilweise müsse für die Installation des Updates sogar der Hersteller eingreifen.</p>
<p>Google hat das Problem inzwischen erkannt und mit HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG und Motorola eine Vereinbarung getroffen. Die Unternehmen verpflichteten sich, ihre Smartphones künftig «zeitnah» mit der aktuellsten Android-Version auszustatten.</p>
<p><strong>Jährliche Verdopplung der Schädlinge</strong></p>
<p>Seit 2007 habe sich die Zahl der neuen Viren-Signaturen für mobile Schädlinge jährlich beinahe verdoppelt, behauptet Kaspersky. Das klingt auf den ersten Blick dramatisch. Warnungen von Anti-Viren-Herstellern geschehen aber auch immer im Eigeninteresse. Je lauter und häufiger die Warnrufe erklingen, desto mehr Anti-Viren-Software wird vermutlich von verunsicherten Nutzern gekauft. </p>
<p>Trotzdem: Der Bericht zeigt, dass künftig vermehrt mit Angriffen auf Smartphones zu rechnen ist. «Das Problem mobiler Schädlinge ist allein deshalb von Bedeutung, weil heute viele wichtige Informationen auf mobilen Geräten gespeichert sind und Smartphones sich in naher Zukunft in mobile Brieftaschen verwandeln werden», so Kaspersky. Mit neuen Chips, die eventuell bereits in der nächsten Smartphone-Generation zum Einsatz kommen, könnte sich das Handy als Zahlungsmittel etablieren. Umso lohnender werden für Cyberkriminelle Angriffe auf mobile Betriebssysteme wie Android, iOS, Symbian oder Windows Phone 7.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Um Google Sync auf Ihrem iPhone, iPad oder iPod touch einzurichten, führen Sie bitte folgende Schritte aus.</p>
<p><strong>Anforderungen und Hochladen</strong></p>
<p>1. Google Sync ist nur mit iPhone OS 3.0 und höheren Versionen kompatibel. Ihre aktuelle Version finden Sie unter <strong>Einstellungen > Allgemein > Info > Version</strong>. Um ein Upgrade durchzuführen, folgen Sie den Anweisungen unter http://www.apple.de/iphone/softwareupdate/. Bitte führen Sie ein Upgrade auf mindestens iPhone OS 3.0 durch, bevor Sie Google Sync einrichten.</p>
<p>2. Führen Sie eine Synchronisierung mit iTunes durch, um sicherzustellen, dass die Kontakte und Kalendereinträge von Ihrem iPhone auf Ihrem Computer gesichert sind. Weitere Informationen zum Sichern Ihrer <a href="http://google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138744">Kontakte und Kalendereinträge</a></p>
<p>3. Falls Ihr Unternehmen, Ihre Schule oder Ihre Organisation Google Apps verwendet, muss Ihr Administrator zuerst <a href="http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=135937">Google Sync aktivieren</a>, bevor Sie diese Funktion nutzen können. Wenn Sie Google Sync aktivieren, kann Ihr Administrator außerdem zusätzliche Remoteverwaltungsfunktionen wie Remotelöschung oder das Festlegen von Passwortanforderungen ausüben. Klicken Sie <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/02/google-apps-adds-enterprise-admin_03.html">hier</a>, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten, oder wenden Sie sich an Ihren Administrator.</p>
<p><strong>Erste Schritte</strong></p>
<p>1. Öffnen Sie die Anwendung <strong>Einstellungen</strong> auf dem Startbildschirm Ihres Geräts.<br />
2. Öffnen Sie <strong>E-Mail, Kontakte, Kalender</strong>.<br />
3. Tippen Sie auf <strong>Konto hinzufügen</strong>&#8230;.<br />
4. Wählen Sie <strong>Microsoft Exchange</strong> aus. OS 4.0 oder höher unterstützt nun mehrere Microsoft Exchange-Konten. Kann auf Ihrem Gerät jedoch kein zweites Konto hinzugefügt werden, können Sie auch <a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674">CalDAV</a> für die Synchronisierung von Google Kalender und <a href="https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=de&#038;answer=77702">IMAP</a> für die Synchronisierung von Google Mail verwenden. </p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740a_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740a_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740a_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88" /></a><br />
<a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740b_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740b_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740b_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89" /></a><br />
<a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740c_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740c_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740c_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Kontoinformationen eingeben</strong></p>
<p>5. Geben Sie die vollständige E-Mail-Adresse Ihres Google-Kontos im Feld <strong>E-Mail</strong> ein. Falls Ihre E-Mail-Adresse auf @googlemail.com endet, erhalten Sie möglicherweise die Mitteilung &#8220;Zertifikat kann nicht verifiziert werden&#8221;, wenn Sie mit dem nächsten Schritt fortfahren.<br />
6. Lassen Sie das Feld <strong>Domain</strong> leer.<br />
7. Geben Sie die vollständige E-Mail-Adresse Ihres Google-Kontos als <strong>Nutzername</strong> ein.<br />
8. Geben Sie das Passwort Ihres Google-Kontos als <strong>Passwort</strong> ein.<br />
9. Tippen Sie oben auf dem Bildschirm auf <strong>Weiter</strong>.<br />
9a. Wählen Sie <strong>Abbrechen</strong>, wenn das Dialogfeld <strong>Zertifikat kann nicht verifiziert werden</strong> angezeigt wird.<br />
10. Wenn das neue Feld Server angezeigt wird, geben Sie <strong>m.google.com</strong> ein.<br />
11. Tippen Sie oben auf dem Bildschirm noch einmal auf <strong>Weiter</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740h_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740h_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740h_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93" /></a><br />
<a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740d_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740d_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740d_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92" /></a>   </p>
<p>12. Wählen Sie die Google-Services aus, die Sie synchronisieren möchten (Google Mail, Google Kalender, Kontakte).</p>
<p>13. Wählen Sie die Option <strong>Auf meinem iPhone erhalten</strong>, um zu verhindern, dass alle Ihre bestehenden Kontakte und Kalender auf dem Handy gelöscht werden. Dann können Sie über iTunes auch Daten mit Ihrem Computer abgleichen.</p>
<p>Wenn Sie nur die Gruppe <strong>Meine Kontakte</strong> synchronisieren möchten, müssen Sie während der Installation von Google Sync die Option <strong>Bestehende Kontakte löschen</strong> auswählen. Bei Auswahl der Option &#8220;Bestehende Kontakte erhalten&#8221; werden stattdessen die Einträge der Gruppe &#8220;Alle Kontakte&#8221; synchronisiert. Sollten sich keine Kontakte auf Ihrem Telefon befinden, geschieht das Letztere, das heißt es werden die Einträge Ihrer Gruppe <strong>Alle Kontakte</strong> synchronisiert.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740e_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740e_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740e_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-102" /></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740i_keep_content_en.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobile_138740i_keep_content_en.gif" alt="" title="mobile_138740i_keep_content_en" width="192" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-101" /></a>    </p>
<p>Sie haben Google Sync eingerichtet. Die Abgleichung der Daten erfolgt automatisch, wenn die Push-Synchronisierung auf Ihrem Gerät aktiviert ist. Sie können auch die Anwendungen E-Mail, Kalender oder Kontakte öffnen und einige Sekunden verstreichen lassen, bevor Sie mit der Synchronisierung beginnen.</p>
<p>Wählen Sie als Nächstes, <a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=139206">welche Kalender Sie synchronisieren möchten</a>, wenn Sie mehrere Kalender aktivieren möchten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Last month I have decided to bring my personal email communications to the next level. Knowing about the convenience to receive and send office emails in real-time on my (company owned) Blackberry Bold it was clear that something had to happen on the &#8216;private side&#8217; as well.</p>
<p>I have tested <a href="http://www.apple.com/de/mobileme/">MobileMe</a> from Apple (they offer a 60 day evaluation period) and the service works fine; you have some cool features like locating your missing iPhone or sending messages to it. The setup is easy and you don&#8217;t need to know much about computers to get it running. The only downside was that I had to forward all emails from my domain to the MobileMe email address; like this emails that I have deleted on the device were still available on Outlook.</p>
<p>I surfed the web and discovered <a href="http://www.swisscom.ch/sme/it_hosting/hep/index.htm?languageId=de">Swisscom Hosted Exchange</a> which is available for small businesses on the first sight. After calling Swisscom it was clear that everyone can subscribe to the service which is at almost the same cost than MobileMe but supports Microsoft Exchange 2003 &#038; 2007 as well as own email domains.<br />
<br /><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hostedexchange_funktionen.gif" alt="Funktionen Hosted Exchange" title="Funktionen Hosted Exchange" width="287" height="353" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57" /><br />
There is a very good documentation on how to setup your Outlook and your phone; however solid IT-skills are required to get the system up and running.</p>
<p>My brief summary: if you prefer an easy installation and you don&#8217;t have solid IT-skills you should go for MobileMe; if you are running your own email domain and you know what your doing on the configuration side you should choose Hosted Exchange from Swisscom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In June 2008 I have decided to trade-in my iPod Video and get the iPhone 3G (8GB/black). It came along with a 1GB price plan from <a href="http://www1.orange.ch/residential_products_price-plans_optima.html">Orange</a> for CHF 45.- a month. Since then it joins me on the 120 minutes that I commute to and from work every day.<br />
<br />
Although I would recommend the larger 16GB or the new 32GB (3GS) version I am very happy with the phone (especially after the latest Firmware upgrade to 3.0). </p>
<p>Some Apps that I can recommend (not only to my swiss readers) are: WeatherPro, Bloomberg, Shozu, Shazam, Last.fm, SBB Mobile, Wemlin, LinkedIn, XING, Remote, Twitterific, Facebook, Navigon, Blick iApp, 20min, Trapster, MotionX GPS, Brightkite, Google Earth, Local.ch, Gotta Go, gps:ch, AutoScout24, LookItUp, Comparis, Skype, Badewetter, Energy Radio, feX, Toppreise.ch <br />
<img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone-3g.jpg" alt="iPhone 3G" title="iPhone 3G" width="250" height="250" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50" /><br />
I am currently considering to upgrade to the new 3GS phone as the Navigon GPS-Software is using almost 25% of my phones&#8217;s disk space but will wait until the &#8216;hype&#8217; is over as you have to pay CHF 1200.- for a sim-lock free phone at the moment.</p>
<p>Instead of a case I use <a href="http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/landing.php">ZAGG invisibleSHIELD</a> in order to protect my iPhone &#8211; can highly recommend it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a title="tytnii.jpg" href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/tytnii.jpg"></a>Today I was browsing thru <a title="check out the spec's" href="http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htctytn2.html">HTC</a>&#8216;s website and realized that the successor of the HTC TyTn (SPV M3100) is already out for sale. I purchased the TyTn about six month ago as second hand machine via an online auction for approx. CHF 415.-. The device was Orange branded and SIM-locked in these days. After investing some time and with the help of the <a title="visit the xda-developers website" href="http://xda-developers.com/">xda-developers</a> tutorial I managed to get rid of the SIM-lock and upgraded the device to Windows Mobile 6 Professional (<a title="ROM running on my TyTn" href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347806">ROM Version &#8216;Schap&#8217;s 3.30c</a>).</p>
<p><a title="spvm3100.jpg" href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/spvm3100.jpg"></a><a title="spvm3100.jpg" href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/spvm3100.jpg"></a><a title="spvm3100.jpg" href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/spvm3100.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img style="width: 91px; height: 115px;" src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/spvm3100.thumbnail.jpg" alt="spvm3100.jpg" width="91" height="115" /></p>
<p>The TyTn is the device is was looking ever since; touchscreen, keyboard and wireless lan! Toghether with a BT GPS-receiver and TomTom this small device turns into a navigation system (with voice output). I have successfully used the navigation feature during my last business-trip in South Africa &#8211; without I would have been lost&#8230;</p>
<p>The only thing that did bother me was that the GPS was not build-in. Well, this is exactly the point why you are reading this article! Long time I assumed that only the brandnew <a title="check out the HTC Cruise specs" href="http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htctouchcruise.html">HTC Cruise</a> is offering build-in GPS &#8211; big mistake! As matter of fact my old TyTn is for <a title="bid at the auction ;-) make my happy" href="http://www.ricardo.ch/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=523859948">immediate sale</a> and I hope to get at least what I have paied for but I am pretty convinced that the SIM-unlocking and the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 will support me&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><a title="htc-tytn-ii.jpg" href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/htc-tytn-ii.jpg"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/htc-tytn-ii.thumbnail.jpg" alt="htc-tytn-ii.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>I will post a report on the TyTn II as soon as the old one got sold and the new one has arrived!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In a world of free Internet and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotspot_(Wi-Fi)" title="definition on WiKi">hotspots</a> at every corner one could think that surfing the Web while being on the move has become much easier. You read about free Internet access and free <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wireless-bern.ch" title="Wireless Pioneers in Switzerland">hotspot communities</a> in every newspaper but is it really available when you need it? My simple answer is: NO! Train station or bus-stop &#8211; wishful thinking! If you are lucky there might be an unsecured wireless network which could be used to quickly check the emails but is it safe?</p>
<p>On my way to work one <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi" title="defintion Wi-Fi on WiKi">Wi-Fi network</a> chases another but people have become more aware of the risks of an unsecured network and most suppliers have started to secure their products with a default <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy" title="definition WEP on WiKi">WEP encryption</a>. Even if all networks would be open a smooth session of surfing the web would be impossible due to the permanent switch from network to network; sitting in a tram or bus doesn&#8217;t facilitate things&#8230;</p>
<p>It was time for a change. In times of UMTS, HSDPA and GPRS it&#8217;s worth having a look at the offers that the local mobile providers offer&#8230; Swisscom Mobile offers <a href="http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/gek_natel_data_time_tarifmodelle-de.aspx" title="visit Swisscom Mobile website">Mobile Unlimited</a> (CHF 79.- per month with a 2 GB limit), Orange is offering <a href="http://www.orange.ch/services/dataAccess/internetEverywhere?ts=1196105816193" title="visit the Orange Website">Internet Everywhere</a> (CHF 59.- per month with a 2.5 GB limit). Sunrise comes up with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sunrise.ch/privatkunden/angebote/mobile/mobile-internet-abos.htm" title="visit Sunrise website">TakeAway</a> offer which can be interesting for the light- (<a href="mailto:T@ke">T@ke</a> Away, CHF 3.50.- per day of usage) or heavy user (<a href="mailto:T@ke">T@ke</a> Away Broadband, CHF 49.- per month with a 2.048 GB limit).</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sunrise_screen_240x240.jpg" title="sunrise_screen_240×240.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sunrise_screen_240x240.jpg" title="sunrise_screen_240×240.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sunrise_screen_240x240.jpg" title="sunrise_screen_240×240.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img width="109" src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sunrise_screen_240x240.thumbnail.jpg" alt="sunrise_screen_240×240.jpg" height="103" /></p>
<p>I originally decided to go for the T@ke Away light version but changed my mind after figuring out that I will use the service almost every day (makes most sense if you are going to use it more than two weeks a month).</p>
<p>I took the one year subscription and got a Novatel Wireless XCA-3 card (Merlin XU870) free of charge. Installation was quite simple and the service was available instantly. In the urban area&#8217;s around Zürich and on the train between Zug and Zürich I am able to surf at HSDPA or UMTS speeds (within the tunnels with GPRS).</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/merlin.gif" title="merlin.gif"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/merlin.thumbnail.gif" alt="merlin.gif" /></a></p>
<p>I use the service almost daily and have to admit that the current solution has taken me to the next level of online freedom. With harder competition between the &#8216;big three&#8217; already going on in Switzerland for mobile voice services customers one can hope that the fight for mobile data services customers will break out soon and lead to lower prices as well&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but this is another story that I might pickup at a later stage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p align="left">Some time ago I was surfing the net and accidentally got on to <a target="_blank" href="http://geocool.reperion.com/Web/" title="GPS Tracking">Reperion&#8217;s</a> website. Reperion enables you to show your tracks in real-time, in Google Earth, you can upload video and pictures straight to your live track, send and receive i-SMS, find nearby friends, get alerts for millions of types of actual nearby events&#8230;broadcast a message to <a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/s7101.jpg" title="s7101.jpg"></a>people around you&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/s7102.jpg" title="s7102.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/s7102.jpg" title="s7102.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/googleearth_image.jpg" title="googleearth_image.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/googleearth_image.jpg" title="googleearth_image.jpg"></a><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/s7102.thumbnail.jpg" alt="s7102.jpg" /></p>
<p>I was immediately fascinated with the idea to be able to track someone or something in realtime. The <a target="_blank" href="http://geocool.reperion.com/Web/user/CreateUser.aspx?" title="get a Reperion account fro free">signup</a> for private users is free of charge and the <a href="http://geocool.reperion.com/Web/files/default.aspx" title="Download the Tracker-Application">application</a> which has to be installed on the handheld or smartphone can be downloaded right away.</p>
<p>I have installed the tracker on my <a target="_blank" href="http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcs710.html" title="HTC S710">HTC S710 </a>without any problems; after two minutes of configuration the tracker was up and running. I am using a common bluetooth GPS-receiver with the phone.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/xaiox.jpg" title="xaiox.jpg"><img src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/xaiox.thumbnail.jpg" alt="xaiox.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>I configured the application on my phone that the position is logged every 15 seconds and will be immediately uploaded via GPRS. If you don&#8217;t want to upload immediately Reperion offers a log function where all coordinates are stored on the device and will be uploaded to the server next time you connect (after having disabled the logging). In GoogleEarth the track will look like this:<a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/googleearth_image.jpg" title="googleearth_image.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/googleearth_image.jpg" title="googleearth_image.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/googleearth_image.jpg" title="googleearth_image.jpg"> </a></p>

<p>I will use this method on my next business-trip in January and will post my experiences as soon as I am back!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Last week I bought a small GPS device for Geotagging, the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sony.de/view/ShowProduct.action?product=GPS-CS1&amp;site=odw_de_DE&amp;pageType=Overview&amp;category=DCC+Other+Accessories" title="Buy a Sony GPS-CS1 here">Sony GPS-CS1</a>. Only 55g heavy and very handy the device stores coordinates of the current position in a log file every 15 seconds. At the end of the day one can synchronize all pictures taken with the GPS coordinates from the log file. On the basis the date of a photo the pertinent coordinates are read from the log file and stored into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif" title="Definition">EXIF</a> information of the photo.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/3816.jpg" title="3816.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img width="122" src="http://blog.reppel.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/3816.thumbnail.jpg" alt="3816.jpg" height="90" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately the Tool “GPS image Tracker” provided by Sony supports only photos in the JPEG format. Neither Nikon RAW (.NEF) nor DNG files can be processed.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">I am currently using my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_D70" title="Nikon D70 Wiki">Nikon D70 </a>and my <a href="http://www.exilim.de/de/exilimzoom/exz1200/" title="Exilim Homepage">Casio EX-Z1200 </a>with Sony GPS-CS1 and so far everything worked fine. The most important thing one has to do is to keep the time on the camera synchronised with the time in the logging device.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Two weeks ago I started to add GoogleMaps to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.reppel.ch" title="Welcome to Reppel.ch">my photo gallery</a>. The gallery is based on the well known <a href="http://coppermine-gallery.net/" title="Coppermine Photo Gallery">Coppermine Photo Gallery</a> and fortunately I have found a <a href="http://coppermine-gallery.net/forum/index.php?topic=31206.0" title="GoogleMaps integration in Coppermine">tutorial</a> which explained how the implementation works (with very little php-coding knowledge). The new &#8216;plugin&#8217; allows me to manually &#8216;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging" title="Geotagging on Wikipedia">geotag</a>&#8216; pictures that have been uploaded; in case that the uploaded pictures already have location information in their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif" title="Geodata in Photos">metadata tags</a> the position where the picture was taken will automatically show up on the <a href="http://www.reppel.ch/googlemap.php" title="My geotagged pictures on GoogleMaps">map</a>.</p>
<p>In addition the plugin keeps the <a href="http://www.reppel.ch/reppel.kml" title="View my picuters in GoogleEarth">.kml file</a> updated which I have created for <a href="http://earth.google.com" title="get GoogleEarth now">GoogleEarth</a>.</p>
