AMAZON is out to burn Apple with a full colour tablet that’s less than half the price of the iPad.
The online retail giant today unveiled the Kindle Fire, its long-awaited touchscreen computer which experts believe could challenge Apple’s dominance.
The Kindle Fire runs on Google’s Android software and costs only $US199 – the cheapest iPads retail at $US499 – and will let users download books, magazines, newspapers, videos and music.
It will have access to apps through Amazon’s Android store and, unlike the iPad, doesn’t need to be backed up on a PC.
Instead, it backs up its contents wirelessly on Amazon’s servers.
Vanessa found my Zumba® artwork portfolio on my business website when doing a google search and decided to send me an email.
I emailed Vanessa some business card info, she replied and I sent her a proof that same day, we then decided on the best image to use to promote her business, finalised her design, sent it off to print, then the cards travelled by airmail to Colorado in the USA!
Thanks heaps Vanessa, always great to work with someone so professional and switched on!
I have also designed and delivered business cards for Val of the Da ‘Ville Girlz in Fayetteville, North Carolina!

Let me tell you, I had no idea what to do for business cards, or how it worked to get one made. I just e-mailed the type of card I needed, and a photo I wanted on the card. I got one e-mail back asking questions, then sent it back, then VOILA the same day I had a lovely, professional business card tailored just for me! I could not believe how quick and wonderful it turned out, I was just amazed! You will not be disappointed in this company, Design House and Jeanette is the BEST!!

The Fraser Coast Smarter Business Ideas Live and Local, to be held at Hervey Bay Boat Club on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Doors open 5pm, event starts from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, will cover topics determined by attendees from a list including future proofing a business, improving work-life balance, increasing productivity, working smarter – not harder and smarter marketing.
The Seven Network’s Gadget Guy, Peter Blasina, will be drawing on his own vast experience as a technology demystifyer – and be distilling the latest global insights and philosophies into sensible, implementable, local solutions to keep you and your business in the lead.
Businesses will also be able to review the latest in technology solutions developed specifically to help small business operators enhance productivity and save money such as the recently launched Digital Business solution which provides small business with a new pathway switch to integrated communications, combining features like fast, business-grade fixed broadband, IP telephony, mobility, cloud computing and remote working solutions.
Media Release:
One local business who has welcomed Smarter Business Ideas Live and Local occurring on the Fraser Coast is Jeanette Maynes from Design House who won acclaim as a leading business owner in 2008 through the Telstra Business Awards program,
“As a small business owner, it is important to keep abreast of the latest thinking on how to grow the business and manage the various challenges we face. What is great about this event is that we will be able to discuss and learn what works well for like minded businesses in our local area,” Jeanette Maynes said.
These days, creating a Facebook page for your business is no longer a luxury.
Many small, medium and large businesses are using Facebook as a successful vehicle for promoting their brands and engaging with existing and potential customers – and when set up and maintained correctly, you can reach far more users than you’ve been getting to previously.
A Facebook Page is free to set up, can be configured in less than five minutes (for a basic page), and doesn’t require any previous web development experience – although adding some of the more advanced interactive features are a little trickier.
Are you starting a new business? Is your current business look tired and not inline with current design trends? Then this could be the package for you!!!! Let me sovle your marketing problems from scratch!
For 3 days in September I listened to some of the most amazing and inspiring millionaires from our country and the world including Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki and DONALD TRUMP! Event details here.
Talk about being on the biggest high ever!
As a motivated professional business woman it is extremely important to me that I learn from the absolute best for dynamic self improvement and that I am an EXPERT in my field improving what I can offer my clients in solving their business advertising problems to increase their confidence, profit and client base.
I like to set huge goals and go for them to inspire others to shoot for their dreams also and my latest goal was to have a photo taken with my business IDOL the legendary DONALD TRUMP currently valued at SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS!
Trump was introduced to the stage by Australian Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins.
I just LOVE Trump and especially his TV series The Apprentice. He is such a wise, educated, funny and intelligent business man with a hardcore, can do attitude and to me a great mentor.
He is inspiring, motivated, professional, successful, speaks his mind on all matters, extremely family orientated and I felt a real kindness in his presence.
Trump said, “I believe, get even with people, if they screw you, screw them back ten times as hard!”
This reminded me of how local managing Director Malcolm Quinn of the Fraser Coast Independent Newspaper stole $2,505 from me for a ticket to meet and greet and have a photo taken with Mr Trump three years earlier. Mr Quinn failed in his attempt to put on this similar event in the past with Donald Trump and still owes him $950,000 plus Australian business people $1.5 million! (More info here, here, here and here).
From that day on it became a goal that I must achieve to have my photo taken with Trump! I even photo shopped a photo of Trump and I two years ago to begin the Law of Attraction process.
After Trump finished his speech at the event, I went back for a question / answer session with him. When I had pushed my way through 150 VIPs and security, bravely attracted Trump’s attention to ask for a photo and was given the go ahead he was wearing the same pink tie he had on in my photo shopped image!
I said to him that Malcolm Quinn had ‘screwed’ me for money in the past as he also had done to Trump. Trump then said to me, “Who’s that?” … I laughed in agreement!!
He looked me in the eye and asked me directly if I had enjoyed his speech to which I replied with honesty I thoroughly did!!! We also made a few other small comments. I then made my way to the back of the room, where I was on such an adrenalin rush that I had achieved another long term goal that my knees began to shake!
Of course I have no doubt we will meet and converse again on many occasions.
Meeting my business idol and finally achieving my goal to have a photo taken with him has made me believe even more in the Law of Attraction, being positive and that anything is possible in life!!! What an absolutely amazing, thought provoking and sensational experience! One of many more to come!
A big thank you to Michael Burnett from Empowernet for successfully organising such an Amazing event!!
