APMS supports both the well-connected (on the LAN or WAN) or occasionally connected (dial-up) computer. Bandwidth throttling and checkpoint restart capabilities let you "drizzle" packages to LAN-based, remote and mobile users, regardless of connectivity. After delivering patches, the desired policies run on an ongoing basis to ensure that a required patch remains installed and to install those that might be deleted. A straightforward and intuitive software update distribution wizard helps you create distribution policies. The user interface is one of the best I have seen. You can use the Altiris Console to review the list of vendor-issued software bulletins, automatically download and distribute new patches and updates, and obtain information on tasks, resources, configurations and incidents.

Going Places: Go for a photo finish
Your vacation was fantastic, and you took lots of photos to prove it. Now what? Here are ways to share and otherwise enjoy your travel snapshots -- the very reason you snapped them in the first place. PICTUREBOOK 64 MB POCKET DIGITAL PHOTO ALBUM BY BROOKSTONE, $200 This digital album makes it easy to free your photos from your camera or computer and share them. Plug your memory card directly into the album, or connect it to your computer (it's PC- and Mac-compatible) and photos download quickly and easily. Straightforward has its cons, however, and the unit does not have a lot of functions. In each of the four albums, you must scroll past every photo to get to the last one, for example, or view all the photos in reverse. But it is nice and portable, with a 3.5-inch screen that's a decent size for image-viewing.

AMD, NVIDIA duel in mobile graphics; 3D iPhone still distant
We're barely into this year's Mobile World Conference in Barcelona, Spain, and already the dueling press releases are flying. Fresh off the wire are two long-awaited and closely matched mobile graphics products from NVIDIA and AMD, both of which will bring some measure of desktop-caliber graphics to handheld devices. First up is STMicro's announcement of the first fruits of its alliance with AMD (announced at last year's MWC): the 65nm Nomadik STn8820 mobile application processor. STMicro's new chip combines the same mobile graphics core used in AMD's Imageon line with an ARM11 CPU core, and it tacks on a ton of other functionality, some of which I'll mention in a moment. Nomadik's graphics core is based on the same unified shader architecture (USA) that powers the Xbox 360, so Nomadik supports OpenGL ES 2.0, D3D, and the same tools and APIs that work with Imageon.
