The new HTC Rhyme is a mobile phone that does not offer the most powerful processor or the largest screen but it makes up for this by sporting stylish looks and incorporating some of the best software available. We take a look at some of the applications that come installed on this model.

Thanks to this device utilising the popular HTC Sense user interface there is a wealth of software available that comes as part of this platform. The HTC Weather Clock widget is present with its simple display showing the current time together with the weather conditions outside. There are sixteen different clock faces to choose from so you should never get bored by the design. One of the newer applications introduced on this model is the HTC Watch feature. This software enables you to choose from a large number of blockbuster movies that you can watch whilst on the move. Similar software platforms require you to download the file prior to watching it but HTC Watch buffers the file meaning that you can watch the movie the moment you press the button. A large number of films are available from this service and it certainly looks like a feature that will continue to grow thanks to the popularity of sites such as Lovefilm and Zune. The HTC Reader application is perfect if you want to use the Rhyme to ready any book titles you have downloaded. The attractive widget gives you a simple overview of all titles available and the phone connects to the Kobo bookstore which gives you access to thousands of downloads.

Many modern mobile phones offer excellent navigation facilities and the HTC Rhyme is no exception. Being an Android phone the handset naturally supports Google Maps but HTC have added their own version in the form of HTC Locations. The software come complete with maps for a number of countries throughout Europe. Like Google Maps the Locations service offers turn by turn navigation which is ideal if you are travelling to a different town or city. Local points of interest are also highlighted on the maps that are available. A number of third party applications also come installed on this model. The most impressive of these is the excellent Dropbox which gives users up to 3GB of cloud based storage free of charge thanks to an agreement between HTC and the developers. Users can gain additional storage space by recommending friends to use the facility.

The HTC Rhyme is a stylish handset that come equipped with a variety of great software. The applications that form part of the Sense user interface are superb and there are also some excellent introductions from independent developers.

The world of politics is never supposed to make any real sense. After all, once you pit people’s cherished beliefs against each other, passions are roused and the arguments soon become bitter. It would be better if everyone was just allowed to do what they wanted. But, when it comes to organising medical care for the population, it takes a government to put the right kind of infrastructure in place. People have to be trained as care givers. This takes years and costs a small fortune. Hospitals and clinics have to be built. And then we come to all the support staff who drive the ambulances, keep the places clean and keep the accounts. Ah, yes, the money. All of this work over years has to be paid for. So the $64,000 question is who should foot the bill? It’s at this point that emotions get in the way of common sense.

Talk to one side of the argument and they will tell you people who want access to medical care should carry private insurance. Talk to the other side and they will tell you the state should pay for the service out of the tax revenue. It’s never really clear why people disagree. Only people who are in work pay tax. Only people who earn can afford to pay the premiums on insurance. It’s the same money. The only difference is the way it’s collected – one as tax and the other as premiums paid to an insurance company. But wait! There is a difference! If the state collects in the money, it can use it more efficiently because, unlike the insurance industry, it does not intend to make a profit. So the only reason to support the current system is to allow the insurance industry to continue making an ever larger profit.

As the Senate is currently set up, forty-one senators can stop any reform. That’s forty Republicans plus one other. Yet when you look at the number of people these Republican senators represent, it’s only 36% of the US population. This is somewhat unfair. The party with the majority of representatives was voted in by 64% of the population. The Democratic platform could not have been more clear. It was to be reform of healthcare provision. Yet when you look at the media (which is controlled by big business), all you see reported is the opposition to reform. The “tea party” movement captures all the headlines. But in all this, there is one really big irony that gets very little coverage.

The Republican senators may only represent 36% of the population, but they represent nearly 50% of the children without any health insurance and 42% of the adult population with no insurance. Despite the fact that half the uninsured children in the US are represented by the Republicans, their opposition to any reform that would give the children coverage could not be more aggressive. If we assume the outcome of the reform would be cheap health insurance for almost all US citizens, the Republicans are against it. Their policy is to keep the profits rolling in for the health insurance industry and, if the majority of the people who live in their states have no insurance, that’s just their bad luck. The US is genuinely a strange place. Despite the recession, it’s one of the richest countries in the world yet it has a political party determined to prevent its citizens from enjoying cheap health insurance. Sadly this party with the minority of votes in the Senate could get their way.
