Kim: Which is the best mobile smartphone, the Apple iPhone or the RIM Blackberry Tour? It's personal preference. Learn more about the RIM Blackberry at labratsonline.com/blackberrybasics. Learn more about the Apple iPhone at labratsonline.com/iphonebasics.

Jerry: What is the difference between hibernate and sleep modes? Hibernate allows your operating system to suspend itself completely in storage. While Sleep mode allows the operating system to place itself in a low power state. A good discussion on this here labratsonline.com/hibernate.

Jeff: What kind of Microsoft Windows Vista configuration should I purchase? The best idea would be to wait for Microsoft Windows 7 to hit the market in October 22, 2009. A guided tour of Microsoft Windows 7 at labratsonline.com/tourwindows7.

Bastian in Germany: How do I use the Google Mobile application for the Apple iPod/iPhone to send from multiple accounts? At this time, Google, only allows the mobile application to send from your default email address. It's possible that it will be a future feature for the mobile application.
