Phone or Tablet? ( I would prefer Phoblet !!!)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:51:00 +0000

Don't surprise !!! Like it's word of alien world. Most of people who wants to buy smartphone or had a smartphone know something about "Phoblet".

It's simple PHONE + TABLET = PHOBLET.

Some other words also poeple use for it like phablet, phonetablet, tabphone ......etc........
But the concept is, size of Phoblet is bigger than any normal phone which looks like tablet & works like smartphone.

Big size means more space to work, but it is quite heavy than phone. can't use like normal phone, can't put directly to ear, must need wired or bluetooth earphone. But with that use internet, games, application, document, ebooks works nice with that. screen is bigger which means typing is also comfortable.

Characteristics of Phoblet :
Screen size : must be > 5" or at least 5".
Processor : needs do faster because more pixels are covered. (min. 1 GHz. dual core)
Memory : 16 GB at least.
All kind of connectivity.
Phone facility is priority.

Why it is needed?

More people ask about this, Why it is needed? it is for the person who is sitting at top position in management or who just trying to show off with bigger phone. Normal people don't need this device.
Here it is depend on your uses. Most of normal people use both internet & phone at same time & data.
They need a phonebook but also need facebook, they wants chatting also wants to do tweeting. they wants make their notes also prepare documents too. Peoples in simple language need both phone & laptop in single device. So, why not take larger screen with higher processor? why select 4" screen smartphone & 14" screen laptop too. Just why don't select 7" samsung galaxy Tab 2. Your both purpose can solve in single device.

Don't hyper "what you are saying man?" this can't be possible. it's possible, just look at processors which we are used in laptop are not more than 3.0 GHz clocked they works good in desktop than laptop, we know that. Games all high end graphic games we don't play on laptop, some of them we can't play on laptop. Here, company like EA gives all it's best sellers on phone. which is better, think again.

Moblie Phones: "The Inside Job"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:16:00 +0000

At this festival season, new grand mobile exchange is available!!!

All kind of mobile available here, ICS 4.0 upgrade also available here!!!

Take maximum value of your old phone & buy new android!!!

What you read at mobile shops? 4.0" display, ICS, 1GHz processor (quite cool), blah blah blah............

Just go into mall and pick up new phone (just like ticking). HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony & new generation Micromax...........What would you buy?

I am writing this because i am facing this problem since 1 month (dated 26-sep, 2012). In India, Specially in Ahmedabad. No shopper has knowledge of mobile's actual configuration. (I can speak in front of them & i did it, too). Which one is good or better i can't throw this question on salesman.( i am salesman, too but not of mobile phones)

So, what can we do. Just go to gsmarena or flipkart or wikipedia(!!!) and compare these phones to each other. Ask yourself it is really useful for you? (except prices) Any technical information is useful to buy new phone? You pick a model of samsung & ask about the market (to your friend), annd of course they say "ya it's good but few more thousands & you can also buy this phone which has really good functionality" & we became confused (some people calls it is stress)

So, finally i do all this things, & know the whole concept about selling product to a "confused customer".

May be this article became useful to you. Caution: Valid upto new models are not launched.

1. First thing first : Money

Actually it comes last.

2. Processor

Ya, if you use nokia "n series" or samsung "bada os" phone. you are using ARM processor which is production of arm corp. The higher version of this arm processors are called "Cortex". Most of new android phone has this Cortex processor. which also have different versions. A5, A7, A8, A9, .............

This is same processors which used in Apple devices. Iphone 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4S, 5..................All the models have these arm processors. and of course

A5 < A7 < A8 < A9

OK, So phone has A9 processor it's better then all others. Now one other thing it's single core or dual core? Well, of course dual core is better. Now 1Ghz is better then 800 Mhz. & 1Ghz dual core Qualcomm is better then 1 GHz. So, eq. is

600 MHz < 800 MHz < 1 GHz < 1 GHz dual core < 1.x GHz (/dual core)

this is basic need processors. which we seen in market with mid-range phones. & ya of course if you want to use ICS 4.0 (Ice-Cream Sandwich 4.0 Android) phone must be 1 GHz, A7 processor or higher.

Game is not end here, This is just a processor. It can't work without instruction set & other peripherals just like motherboard in PC. Which is developed by "Qualcomm". Qualcomm has architecture named "Snapdragon" it also has version v1, v2, v3, v4........................

Sanpdragon v1 < v2 < v3 < v4

Which phone has best processor & architecture :

Iphone 4S - Sanpdragon v4, Cortex A9, 1.x GHz dual core around 40,000/-

Samsung Galaxy S III - Sanpdragon v4, Cortex A9, 1.x GHz dual core around 38,000/-

Samsung Galaxy S II - Snapdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1 GHz dual core around 30,000/-

Sony Xperia S - Sanpdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1.xGHz dual core around 28,000/-

HTC One X - Sanpdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1.xGHz dual core aound 25,000/-

Sony Xperia Sola/U - Sanpdragon v2, Cortex A7, 1GHz dual core 19,000/- / 13,000/-

Micromax Ninja A100 - Sanpdragon v2, Cortex A7, 1GHz dual core 9,500/-

3. RAM & Internal Memory

This is my most exciting area of study because it's change your buying option when you choose particular model. Take example of Sony Xperia Series.

All model has RAM 512 MB

Sony Xperia Tipo : Internal Memory - 2.5 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 10,000/-

Sony Xperia U : Internal Memory - 8 GB ( 4GB for user), No memory card slot 13,000/-

Sony Xperia Neo L : Internal Memory - 301 MB, memory slot upto 32 GB 17,000/-

Sony Xperia GO : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 18,000/-

Sony Xperia Sola : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 19,000/-

Sony Xperia P : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB also 1GB RAM 22,000/-

Tell me which one you buy? Xperia Sola/U/P has Dual core 1 GHz processor other has Single core 1 GHz processor.

Same thing you should see in Samsung, HTC, LG. Samsung has ace, s, y, also in dual Sims. HTC has desire & one series. in those x,v,s,c. What would you buy?

Answer is What's your needs? more music, more movies, more pictures get extra memory card no need to use internal memoy. But you need more apps from play store, more games you must have more internal memory because apps can't run smoothly from memory card.

For info ICS 4.0 can run with 512 RAM or higher.

4. Display

Here comes most twist-able decision because when you select a phone with with higher processor, ram, memory & you find out display is 3.5" holy crap!!! now what? You actually think Company has to design according to user configuration devices. Sony Xperia U (my favorite one) has a same problem. it has processor & RAM which is in 22,000 phone but display is 3,5" & also no extra memory card slot.

just forgot that phone right now, 4 kind of displays are available TFT, LCD, LED, AMOLED.

well it's use for contrast. you are in day light in middle of the market. then in phone you need to contrast that in the light can see phone's screen perfectly. best result is shown in AMOLED. if phone has this screen forget all other display fector like ppi, color display or resolution........but if it's not then need to be understand which one is better.

TFT < LCD < LED < AMOLED

We all know about VGA (640X 480 ) resolution. different relational resolution is used in phone which are like QVGA (320 X 240), HVGA (480 X 420), WVGA (800 X 480), FWVGA (854 X 480). resolution is higher image is shown more accurate. also needs more processing power.

QVGA < HVGA < VGA < WVGA < FWVGA

ppi : part per inch How many pixles are in one square inch area is called ppi. Higher ppi is good for Display.

5. All Other Factors

higher version of android is better than older.

Interface of different devices are just software, it can't change hardware. So, Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony. All of them use same hardware which described here, they only change interface Timewise or Touchwiz or sense whatever they called. also change in material of outer body of mobile, camera, speaker, wifi, Bluetooth, modem, etc. but processor, RAM, Display are one of described here.

For Games crazy people. There are 3 Graphic interface is available Adreno, Mali, SGX. Most of mobile phone comes with Adreno, Mali is outdated, SGX is product of Samsung,but they only use in higher version of Samsung products and licensing to apple. their versions writen with numbers. e.g. adreno 200, adreno 205, adreno 220, mali 400, SGX 530, SGX 540. Higher number is better.
Sensors:

Accelerometer - linear movement of mobile for auto rotate screen.
Gyrometer - same as Accelerometer for auto rotate screen but works better than accelerometer.
Proximity Sensor - when you put phone near to ear screen will be turned off beacuse of it.
Compass - Point out north direction.

Which one is best?

Snapdragon v4/v3, 1.7/1.5 GHz Dual Core, Cortex A9 with 4.7/4.3" screen, AMOLED, 1 GB RAM, 8/16/32 GB memory, SGX 540/adreno 220 GPU.

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration not come under 25,000 RS.

Then, Snapdragon v3/v2, 1.2/1.0 GHz Dual Core. Cortex A7/A8, 3.5/4.0/4.3" screen, AMOLED/LED, 1 GB/512 MB RAM, 4/8 GB memory, SGX 530/adreno 210/adreno 205 GPU.

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration range 15,000 to 25,000 RS.

at last, Snapdragon v2/v3, 800 MHz/1 GHz Single Core, Cortex A7/A5, 3.0/3.5/4.0" screen, LCD/TFT/LED, 512 MB RAM, 2/4 GB memory, adreno 200 GPU

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration range 8,000 to 15,000 RS.

So, if you find model Less then this prices with higher configuration, it must be on your watch list.

New game enter in market: FRUIT NINJA

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:06:00 +0000

May be you some of you know about it. FRUIT NINJA slice game for all platforms.

HERE SOME HISTORY OF GAME:
FRUIT NINJA is a video gamedeveloped by Halfbrick Studios. It was released April 21, 2010 for iPod Touch and iPhone devices, July 12, 2010 for the iPad, September 17, 2010 for Android OS devices. It was released for Windows Phone 7 on December 22, 2010. Also, in March 2011, versions for Samsung's Bada and Nokia's Symbian began to be distributed on their respective official application channels. Just prior to E3 2011 Fruit Ninja Kinect was released for the Xbox 360 on August 10, 2011 and utilizes the Kinect peripheral. In the game the player must slice fruit that is thrown into the air by swiping the device's touch screen with their finger or in the case of the Xbox 360 version, the player's arms and hands. It features multiple gameplay modes, leaderboards and multiplayer.The game was well received by critics and consumers alike; as of September 2010 sales have exceeded three million downloads, with the total reaching four million in December 2010. Total sales across all platforms totaled over 20 million in March 2011. Reviewers felt that the low cost of the game combined with addictive gameplay yielded an excellent value. They further lauded the support and updates provided by Halfbrick, who brought online multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards to the game. Some critics felt the game's difficulty curve was uneven.

HOW TO PLAY:
In Fruit Ninja, the player slices fruit with a blade controlled via a touch pad. As the fruit is thrown onto the screen, the player swipes their finger across the screen to create a slicing motion, attempting to slice the fruit in half. Extra points are awarded for slicing multiple fruits with one swipe, and players can use additional fingers to make multiple slices simultaneously. Players must slice all fruit; if three pieces of fruit are missed the game ends, but upon reaching scores that are multiples of one hundred (i.e. 100, 200, 300, etc), the player will gain an extra life (unless they have not missed a piece of fruit already). Bombs are occasionally thrown onto the screen, and will also end the game should the player slice them.

Photo Pics : Lunar eclipse

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:20:00 +0000

Lunar eclipse. This is enough to say about it. whole moment is capture here. Now, some experiments & environment during Eclipse shown in below images.

TV Tower in Ahmedabad

Moon up & between two bricks

All this three are writing work using venus(shukra grah) as pen. Like your camera set to lower shutter speed (first two imaage have 1 sec. & third has 3 sec.), then camera can't be steady in your hand.

So, during that time movement of star(here case of planet) stored like these images.

(May be you should tray, you can write your name using star.)

Hand is also very attractive thing for photography. Luna can be settle down on hand or nay be became eye.

So, salute it. Good Bye. !!! Meet you in 2013. !!!

Lytro camera: click image yaar... i adjust focus later !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 14:10:00 +0000

For those who want to get their hands on a camera that shoots first and focuses later.

While it is revolutionary technology (see the amazing multi-focus examples), and Lytro has done its best to make the device consumer-friendly (with just two buttons and a zoom slider) and eminently social (with one-button sharing to Facebook),

How is works?

there are still plenty of questions to be answered. How will the photos look when consumers, not professional photographers, get their hands on them? How many will they sell? What will the magnetic lens cap look like? Will the company sell a case so you can strap it onto your hand, video-camera style? If not, will that rubberized silicone on the end suffice to keep it from slipping out of your hands? Does the battery really last two weeks? Why have a power button when the shutter button turns the camera on anyway?

This are some examples of images capture by Lytro camera

See magic...

iPhoneographer : can use this lenses.!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 02:31:00 +0000

Lots of people use the iPhone to take pictures and that’s fine. But for a segment of users, the iPhone has become our only camera.

But sometimes you want just a bit more flexibility and a small accessory can make all the difference. The Olloclip is just such an accessory and if you use your iPhone extensively as a photography tool, you need one of these kits.

The Olloclip is a small clip that attaches to the corner of your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, fitting over the corner where the camera is housed. Embedded in the clip are two lenses, which you access by flipping the clip to the appropriate side.

On one side is a macro lens which is part of a two element wide angle and the other side is a fixed fisheye.

So three lenses to shake things up a bit. This is a great set of tools to give your photos a little variation. The fisheye is fantastic for shooting things from a low or high angle and for snapping panoramas in less shots. The wide angle is good for those ‘everybody on the couch, backed up against the wall’ indoor snaps.

The macro ability of the iPhone 4S is pretty stellar on its own and the iPhone 4 wasn’t too shabby either. The macro built in to the Olloclip is simply off the charts. This shot of a crab was taken on the beach and the critter was only the size of a regular American quarter:

Overall there is a bit of comatic aberration with the Fisheye and some chroma issues here and there, but much, much better than I expected, especially in high-contrast situations.

The Olloclip has become your constant companion when you travelling with the iPhone as your camera. It comes with a small soft bag that you tuck your lenses into and offers so much more utility that it is well worth packing along. A couple of ounces for a lot more choices.

I understand the choice to fix the fisheye to the clip, as embedding it is probably easier in the manufacturing process and there is no real reason to remove it as there is not another lens underneath, but I sure would like the option. Having the Olloclip on with just the macro would make it nice and slim. It would also open up a mounting position for my other big wish list item, an optical teleconverter.

Well worth checking out if you’re a frequent iPhoneographer.

The Olloclip is available on the site for a very cheap $69.99.

Smartpen into the 21st Century

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:03:00 +0000

I completed my 7th semester. submission today & I found importance of "pen". How can I write up to 250 pages in 40 hours(5 days) without a "pen"(because I use a pen of other not mine). So, let me found what are technical changes done in pen. I found this website/Company. Further read here.

The traditional pen is fast approaching extinction. That said, there’s no reason that the pen can’t be given a hi-tech reboot, and that’s what Livescribe’s Echo Smartpen does.

What does it do?

Hardware
Product Design Sleek ergonomic design
Processor ARM 9
Screen 96x18 OLED Display

Storage 2GB NAND (over 200 hours recording time)
4GB NAND (over 400 hours recording time)
8GB NAND (over 800 hours recording time)*
Battery Rechargeable lithium (non-removable)
Grip Rubberized (Echo 4GB, 8GB, and 8GB Pro Pack)
Standard (Echo 2GB)
Audio - Record Smartpen embedded microphone - mono recording**
Audio - Playback Embedded speaker
Standard 3.5mm audio jack for use with your favorite earbuds or the Echo 3-D Premium Recording Headset**
PC Connectivity Micro USB cable for charging and data transfer
Size & Weight Length: 158 mm (6.22 in.)
Width: 19.7 mm (0.78 in.) at top 11.5 mm (0.45 in.) at tip
Weight: 36 grams (1.3 oz.) without cap

A pen with potential

I’ll admit, despite being a tech-savvy person who’s clued up on gadgets, I found the Echo had a steep learning curve for the first half hour. The set-up process is pretty well documented in a quick-start guide but learning to use a pen in a whole new way still took a little getting used to.

This is a use-case that I imagine many potential customers will be looking for, and it’s bundled with the Pro Pack version of the Echo.

In all, the Livescribe Echo Smartpen is a device that brings the traditional pen into the 21st Century. If, despite the prevalence of keyboard inputs and the growth of voice commands, you still feel an attachment to putting your mark on a page in ink, it’s definitely worth a try. A 2GB starter pack costs $99, with prices scaling up to $249.95 for the Pro Pack.

1983: Apple recruited John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola to serve as Apple's CEO, asking, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"

Lisa Bresnnan Jobs(Daughter)

born 1978 : from relation of jobs & Chrisann Brennan

First Jobs denied paternity by claiming, he was sterile;

he later accepts Lisa as his daughter. Name of Computer Lisa is given on her.

1984: Apple aired a television commercial titled "Super Bowl".

January 24, 1984 : At Apple's annual shareholders meeting, Jobs introduced the Macintosh to a wildly enthusiastic audience

The Macintosh became the first commercially successful small computer.

While Jobs was a persuasive and charismatic director for Apple, some of his employees from that time had described him as an erratic and temperamental manager.

May 1985 : following an internal power struggle and an announcement of significant layoffs because of disappointing sales at the time—Sculley relieved Jobs of his duties as head of the Macintosh division.

Jobs later claimed that being fired from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to him; "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

1985 : Jobs founded NeXT Computer with $7 million.

1990 : NeXT workstations were first released, priced at $9,999.

the NeXT workstation was technologically advanced, but was largely dismissed as cost-prohibitive by the educational sector for which it was designed.

second-generation NeXTcube was released in 1990 also.

NeXTcube could share voice, image, graphics, and video in email for the first time. "Interpersonal computing is going to revolutionise human communications and groupwork"

This couple have a son and

two daughters.

1986 : Jobs bought The Graphics Group from Lucasfilm's computer graphics division for the price of $10 million.

A Bug's Life (1998); Toy Story 2(1999); Monsters, Inc. (2001); Finding Nemo (2003); The Incredibles (2004); Cars (2006); Ratatouille (2007); WALL-E (2008);

Up (2009); andToy Story 3 (2010).

January 24, 2006 : Jobs and Iger(Disney) announced that Disney had agreed to purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. Jobs became The Walt Disney Company's largest single shareholder with approximately 7% of the company's stock.

1997 : Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would be entering into partnership with Microsoft. Included in this was a five-year commitment from Microsoft to release Microsoft Office for Macintosh as well a US$150 million investment in Apple. It was also announced that Internet Explorer would be shipped as the default browser on the Macintosh.

Steve Jobs said this to the audience at the expo:

If we want to move forward and see Apple healthy and prospering again, we have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. We have to embrace a notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job. And if others are going to help us that's great, because we need all the help we can get, and if we screw up and we don't do a good job, it's not somebody else's fault, it's our fault. So I think that is a very important perspective. If we want Microsoft Office on the Mac, we better treat the company that puts it out with a little bit of gratitude; we like their software.

So, the era of setting this up as a competition between Apple and Microsoft is over as far as I'm concerned. This is about getting Apple healthy, this is about Apple being able to make incredibly great contributions to the industry and to get healthy and prosper again.

October 2001 : Apple introduced its first iPod portable digital audio player.

The iPod started as a 5 gigabyte player capable of storing around 1000 songs. Since then it has evolved into an array of products.

including the Mini (now discontinued), the iPod Touch, the Shuffle, the iPod Classic, the Nano, and the iPhone. The largest storage capacity for an iPod was 160 gigabytes now.

2006 : the California Hall of Fame was established at The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts to honor individuals and families who embody California’s innovative spirit and have made their mark on history.

There are lots of new things that they added in this new version.

1. & biggest thing : all features of IPhone 4 is included & improved in IPhone 4S. So, if you want to buy IPhone 4 then 4S is better choice.

2. "Siri" : Artificial intelligence & other thing. just best, say what you want to do with phone & it understand what you speak work on that. it is brand new feature added in IPhone 4S.

You can speak as you normally would and tell Siri to do something like set a reminder, schedule a meeting or send a text message. You can also ask Siri for traffic conditions or weather conditions — “Do I need an umbrella?”

3. Camera : 8 MP. who gives you like this kind of camera in phone !!! plus fifth lens added, enlarged aperture.

4. Processor : A5 chip similar to iPod's dual core chip. Doubled speed then IPhone 4.(download speed supports 14.4Mbps)

That's all. some more features are also added or improved. But this are best of them.

UPDATE: Steve Jobs passed away. This IPhone is tribute to him. A great leader & successful technocrat.

Trademark Infringement: Facebook vs. Timelines

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 03:59:00 +0000

You may have read the stories about the recent lawsuit against Facebook in which Timelines.com claims the company infringes upon its “Timeline” trademark.

This is Trademark issue on Internet Traffic.

Here is a section from the court complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court of Chicago:

Facebook’s use of the term “Timeline,” and its redirection of Internet traffic from Timelines’ Facebook page to Facebook’s new “Timeline” offering, infringes on Timelines’ federally registered trademarks in that it causes confusion as to the source of the services offered to users of the Internet.

Indeed, Facebook’s “Timeline” offering and its misdirection of users attempting to access Timelines’ offering is intended to prevent Internet users from accessing information about Timelines.com and to allow users to instead use Facebook’s “Timeline” offering. Timelines v Facebook

Who are study right now topics related to Intellectual Property kind of subject. This case study is useful for them. How Facebook Infringe Timelines.com's pageview traffic.

GOOGLE+ is GOOGLE itself

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:35:00 +0000

“Until now, every single Google property acted like a separate company. Due to the way we grew, through various acquisitions and the fierce independence of each division within Google, each product sort of veered off in its own direction.

… But Google+ is Google itself. We’re extending it across all that we do—search, ads, Chrome, Android, Maps, YouTube—so that each of those services contributes to our understanding of who you are.”

- Bradley Horowitz(VP of Google)

Google is going plan longggggg. Like a FACEBOOK they have own ads & publicity(ad sense) to make revenue(money) but still Google not make that with Google+, they never started any advertising on Google+ until now.

(you have cake in hand but not even trying to eating it)

Why? you logged in one account of Google & it will become open id for other services like blogger, gmail, reader, you tube picasa. Google take long way on social networking. it will leave Facebook & twitter behind but not right now. Company's goal clear about it:

Marge all the things & Getting it on one platform for the Users.

So, who are not joining Google+ now, they will sure become a part of this one day. So, wait for that day.

REVIEW: TV Serial = Movie "MAUSAM"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:46:00 +0000

STORY:- Harinder Singh aka Harry (Shahid Kapoor), whiles away his time in his native village, waiting for the letter to join the Indian Air Force. But before the letter arrives, he falls in love with Aayat (Sonam Kapoor), the displaced Kashmiri girl who lands up in the village when Kashmir falls prey to insurgency. However, the ill-fated romance gets disrupted by the political events like the Ayodhya dispute, the Mumbai bomb blasts, the Kargil war, the Gujarat riots.... The world simmers, violence spreads, but love never dies as Harry and Aayat keep hoping for a re-union, despite the passing years and the turbulent landscape.

PERFORMANCE:- Harry(Shahid Kapoor) & Rajjo(Aditi Sharma) is brilliant. All others are ok. Sonam Kapoor is not suit in her character.

MUSIC(by Pritam):- Three songs are really good. Rabba, Shaj dhaj ke & Tu hi tu. Background score is quite ok.

CINEMATOGRAPHY(by Binod Pradhan):-

Site scening of village of Panjab, is awesome. Scotland, Switzerland are also excellent. Ahmedabad is ok. As according to story Cinematography is good.

EDITING:- Movie is too lengthy. Story has nothing to tell but still frame is going to stretchy.

DIRECTION(by Pankaj Kapoor):- Taking a very good story but development of story is quite unnatural. It is love story but nothing is for public that they feel like a love story.

AT MY OPINION:-

Why you have to done with actor paralyzed when at the end he will being well & fit? Some questions raised against role of actress which is full of miscommunication and confusion. At some moment you hates off for direction(e.g at Scotland harry giving a glass of water to aayat for put that note in water but she slide that note into her cloth and drink the water.) and in next scene you give *** word to him. Reality is not shown like they have done publicity.

RATING:- 2.5 / 5

Facebook Timeline: New interface with profile page

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:54:00 +0000

You’ve been hearing about all the wonderful new Facebook features, and like us, you’re probably super-eager to get started with them.

Biomedical Innovation: Ultrasound used for better Brain Computer Interface

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:29:00 +0000

Ultrasound is good for more than monitoring fetuses and identifying heart defects. According to engineers in Canada, it can help tell what people are thinking as well. Their research suggests that ultrasound-based devices could lead to a new kind of brain-computer interface.

Brain-computer interface technology allows users to control devices with brain activity alone. Researchers have focused primarily on clinical applications for people with severe disabilities who would otherwise have difficulty interacting with the outside world.

In addition to brain-computer interfaces that involve electronics inserted directly into a patient’s head, researchers are also developing a number of noninvasive methods. For instance, electroencephalography (EEG) relies on electrodes attached to a person’s head; functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) uses powerful magnetic fields to measure blood flow in the brain that telegraphs brain activity;magnetoencephalography (MEG) detects the magnetic fields generated by clusters of thousands of neurons; and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) uses light to scan for changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations.

Yet practical use of these methods has so far been limited due to a number of drawbacks. For instance, EEG faces “noise” from electrical signals sent by the muscles and eyes; fMRI and MEG are very expensive and require large equipment; and NIRS, while still early in development as a brain-computer interface technology, has a low data-transmission rate.

Now biomedical engineer Tom Chau and his colleagues at the University of Toronto reveal that ultrasound can also monitor brain activity, suggesting that it could be used for brain-computer interfaces.

The researchers used lightweight ultrasound headgear to measure blood flow in the brains of nine able-bodied adults as they alternated between relaxing and performing two mental tasks. One task required them to think of words that began with a letter displayed on a video screen, and the other asked them to compare two objects rotated to different angles and determine whether they were the same object or mirror images of each other.

Using this new technique, researchers could see with 82.9 percent accuracy whether people were performing the word-generation task and they could tell with 85.7 percent accuracy if they were doing the mental-rotation tasks or just relaxing. Word generation usually led to an increase in blood flow in the left middle cerebral artery, while mental rotation caused increases in both the left and right middle cerebral arteries.

Myrden, Chau, and their colleagues reported their findings online on 7 September in the journal PLoS ONE.

With some adjustments, results could be even more accurate, Chau says. For instance, if subjects had time to train in these exercises, or if they were given instantaneous visual or auditory feedback during the tasks, they could better adjust their efforts toward their goals.

“The results reported are encouraging,” says Rajesh Rao, a computational neuroscientist at the University of Washington, in Seattle, who did not take part in this study. “The approach offers a potentially cheaper alternative to more traditional EEG- and fMRI-based noninvasive brain-computer interfacing.”

With this approach, it can take as long as 45 seconds before researchers can tell what participants are concentrating on. However, Chau notes that they could speed this up by improving the algorithms used to recognize each task in the brain.

There are also other problems to solve. There are only a few spots on the skull thin enough for the ultrasound to scan through, which limits the amount of brain activity it can monitor. Also, Chau says, “our measurements reflect changes in blood-flow velocity secondary to neural activity in the brain—it will thus always be slower than, say, the detection of electrical activity due to neuronal firing.”

Still, even if it takes 10 seconds for an ultrasound scanner to register what a patient is thinking, it may be worthwhile for someone who is severely disabled, Chau says. The researchers are now looking into combining ultrasound with NIRS to achieve greater speed, accuracy, and detail in monitoring brain activity than either approach could provide alone.

“We hope to soon apply this brain-control interface to the target population—individuals with severe and multiple disabilities,” says Andrew Myrden, a graduate student at the University of Toronto who led the research.

High Speed Charging Device

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:22:00 +0000

Professor Jie Tang, Group Leader of the 1D Nanomaterials Research Group of the Materials Processing Unit, National Institute for Materials Science, and Mr. Qian Cheng, a doctoral student and NIMS Junior Researcher in the same Group, have succeeded in dramatically increasing the energy density of supercapacitors, which are used to store electrical energy. This was realized by developing a new electrode in which graphene nanosheets are stacked in a layered structure with carbon nanotubes sandwiched between the graphene layers.

Various new batteries, such as nickel metal hydride batteries, are currently being developed with the aims of achieving higher efficiency and higher energy storagefor electric power supplies. In comparison with batteries, capacitors have a larger output power density to enable rapid charging, excellent durability to allow operations in both higher and lower extreme temperatures, better cyclicity for recharging repeatedly over a long period, and are also safer. However, it has been as a great technical challenge to realize high energy density due to the relatively low specific capacity of the conventional capacitor devices.

In order to achieve a revolutionary increase in density of energy storage, Professor Tang and her team, in collaboration with Professor Lu-Chang Qin of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States, have designed and developed a graphene-based composite structure, in which graphene is used as the base material of the capacitor electrodes and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are inserted between the graphene sheets. In this structure graphene offers a far larger specific surface area (2630 m2/g) than the conventional materials and the CNTs function as spacers as well as conducting paths to enable adsorption of a larger quantity of electrolyte ions on the graphene surface. With this graphene-CNT composite as the capacitor electrodes, Professor Tang has obtained a high energy density of 62.8 Wh/kg and output power density of 58.5 kW/kg using organic electrolyte. By using an ionic liquid as the electrolyte, they have achieved an energy density of 155.6 Wh/kg, which is comparable to that of nickel metal hydride batteries.

Among the many industrial applications of capacitors, the new capacitors developed in this research offer promises as power sources for electric and hybrid vehicles, which require high energy density. As the current production processes are also inexpensive and can be scaled up, large expectations are placed on practical applications.

What the **** !!! OS is not Hardware...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:21:00 +0000

WINDOWS 8 SUPPORTED PC CAN'T RUN OTHER OS !!!

After years of trying to cut off Linux growth as a desktop platform on x86 and x64 PCs, Microsoft may have actually figured out a way to stop Linux deployments on client PCs dead in their tracks.

At the very least, Linux deployment will be hindered on any Windows 8-certified machines to come, as new requirements for the Windows 8 logo come to light.

Red Hat's Matthew Garrett was one of the first to notice that according to the new logo rules, all Windows 8 machines will need to be have the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) instead of the venerable BIOS firmware layer. BIOS has been pretty much the sole firmware interface for PCs for a long time.

The EFI system has slowly been making headway in recent years, and right now EFI firmware is compatible with Windows supporting the GUID Partition Table (GPT), OS X/Intel, and Linux 2.6 and beyond machines. EFI is seen as a better hardware/software interface than BIOS, since it is platform-agnostic, runs in 32- or 64-bit mode, and GPT machines can handle boot partitions of up to 9.4 zettabytes. (That's 9.5 billion terabytes to you and me.)

EFI, and the later UEFI specification, is not the problem for Linux. The problem is Microsoft's other requirement for any Windows 8-certified client: the system must support secure booting. This hardened boot means that "all firmware and software in the boot process must be signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA)," according toslides from a recent presentation on the UEFI boot process made by Arie van der Hoeven, Microsoft Principal Lead Program Manager.

The slides, posted on Garrett's in a blog Tuesday afternoon, reveal Microsoft's plan to lock down the boot process, which Microsoft rightly points out has become a high-value target vector for injecting malware onto Windows PCs. To combat this, Microsoft is requiring all Windows 8 devices to have a hardened boot. Right now, even though there are EFI-ready Linux bootloaders and distros available, none of them are signed, Garrett reminded me.

It's not just a matter of replacing the UEFI system on the device with other, unencrypted, firmware. If all parts of the chain need to have a CA signature, then swapping out a machine's signed EFI layer with, say, an unsigned BIOS or EFI would not work. Garrett described the problem in more detail:

"Microsoft requires that machines conforming to the Windows 8 logo program and running a client version of Windows 8 ship with secure boot enabled. The two alternatives here are for Windows to be signed with a Microsoft key and for the public part of that key to be included with all systems, or alternatively for each OEM to include their own key and sign the pre-installed versions of Windows. The second approach would make it impossible to run boxed copies of Windows on Windows logo hardware, and also impossible to install new versions of Windows unless your OEM provided a new signed copy. The former seems more likely."

The upshot? Any device that ships with the manufacturer's keys and Microsoft's keys will not be able to boot a vanilla version of Linux.

The obvious solution--getting Linux distros signed so they can load on these machines--is clouded with uncertainty.

"Firstly, we'd need a non-GPL bootloader. Grub 2 is released under the GPLv3, which explicitly requires that we provide the signing keys. Grub is under GPLv2 which lacks the explicit requirement for keys, but it could be argued that the requirement for the scripts used to control compilation includes that. It's a grey area, and exploiting it would be a pretty good show of bad faith. Secondly, in the near future the design of the kernel will mean that the kernel itself is part of the bootloader. This means that kernels will also have to be signed. Making it impossible for users or developers to build their own kernels is not practical. Finally, if we self-sign, it's still necessary to get our keys included by ever OEM."

That's a whole lot of unsavory options to look forward to.

Garrett, for his part, is not panicking about the new requirement. He's hopeful that OEMs will be able to include an option in their UEFI firmware to disable the secure booting feature. Even if that is allowed by Microsoft, one thing is clear: dual-booting systems will be out of the picture if Windows 8 boots always require a hardened boot environment. It may very well be that once you turn off secure boot (if you can), you won't be able to run Windows 8 again on that machine, until you re-secure the boot process.

Microsoft is spinning this as a way to finally lock down the boot process, but I can't help but wonder if the side-benefit of blocking Linux boots was something expected as well.

Something to which we need to pay attention, that's for sure.

How to: Create a Transparent Screen Illusion

Linux goes 20th Birthday: 10 Cool Devices That Embrace You

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 03:26:00 +0000

The Linux operating system is not just for nerds. Even though you may not realize it, chances are you probably have a version of Linux running right under your nose. It’s found its way into a multitude of devices, both large and small.

Today, Sept. 17, 2011, is the 20th anniversary of the date when the first Linux kernel (version 0.01) was released and uploaded to an FTP server by Linus Torvalds in Helsinki. Although Torvalds had been working on the code since April, 1991 (recognized by some as the birthday of Linux), it wasn’t until September of that year that he released the first Linux kernel to the world. That early iteration consisted of a mere 10,239 lines of code.

Fast-forward to the present day, where the Linux kernel 2.6.35 contains more than 13.5 million lines of code, and controls gadgets, devices and instruments you might never have expected. Take a look at our gallery below and be surprised by the ubiquity of this useful, versatile and compact operating system on its 20th birthday:

1. TiVo

Underneath the digital video recorder TiVo's user-friendly and popular interface is a modified version of Linux. We have a hunch that those Linux underpinnings are responsible for TiVo's snappy response and smooth video playback.

2. Android

The Android operating system is showing up in multitudes of handheld devices. It was created by the Open Handset Alliance, headed up by Google. Lots of smartphone providers place their own brand of user interface enhancements on top of Android, and there's a lot of tricky programming called middleware in between, but underneath? Good old Linux.

3. AT&T MiFi

This pocket-sized device gives users a mobile access point that makes it so multiple people can use a single 3G connection. That gives any Wi-Fi device the ability to go online practically anywhere. What's in it for you? Imagine never having to pay a $12.95 Wi-Fi charge in a hotel again, thanks to Linux.

4. Large Hadron Collider

When it's time to answer big questions, physicists are turning to Linux to run the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. Just what questions are they trying to answer with this $9 billion scientific instrument? They're trying to understand some of the deepest and most fundamental laws of physics, such as the structure of space and time.

5. Refrigerator (Electrolux Infinity I-Kitchen)

Why would you need Linux in your refrigerator? How about running a touchscreen on the front, storing your contacts and calendars, recipes and reminders, and letting you keep your family organized with electronic Post-it notes? And, some refrigerators are smart enough to remind you that it's time to buy more milk.

6. Sony Bravia HDTV

We tested the latest Sony Bravia connected TV, which brings you your favorite video-on-demand service from Netflix or Amazon and a lot more. That's thanks (in part) to its Linux underpinnings. Of course, it can show you the latest 3-D video, and the one we tested was even smart enough to turn itself off if there was no one sitting in the room.

7. Chumby

This little supersmart alarm clock runs more than 1,000 apps, and it's all made possible by Linux under the hood. Don't let its diminutive size fool you -- this gadget can display video, call up your favorite Pandora Radio channels and remind you of appointments. Best of all, it's fun.

8. GPS (Tom Tom)

Bet you didn't know that GPS unit on your car's dashboard was running Linux. Humming away inside many Garmin, Tom Tom (and other) GPS navigators are versions of Linux. Now if the accuracy of the maps could measure up to that sharp Linux code running inside, we wouldn't have to recalculate so often.

9. Kindle

The electronics reader that made e-reading famous is the Amazon Kindle, and displaying its E-Ink screen with enough speed to make it a pleasure to use is -- you guess it -- starts with an "L."

10. Self-Driving Car

Self-driving cars, otherwise known as autonomous vehicles, are not perfect yet, but they're getting there. Many of them are running Linux, and researchers are using the operating system to find their way toward someday eliminating the need for traffic signals, driver's licenses, and maybe even rules of the road.

It's good clear: The trick shots

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 03:13:00 +0000

The “transparent screen” trick shot does just that, offering your eyes a delicious dose of unreality.

To celebrate such cunning creations, we’ve collected 10 of our favorite “see-through display” images into a gallery for your viewing pleasure.

Suspend disbelief and take a look through the photo gallery below. Link in the comments to any transparent screen shots you’ve created and, if you don’t know how — stayed tuned for a tutorial coming soon.

As an opener, Michelle's classic clear screen is a perfect example of the genre.

Wilson takes the concept outside for an impressive landscape version.

Joh gets bonus points for making two screens see-through!

The Finder window open on Eckert's MacBook adds an extra surreal dimension.

What's really impressive about Auklend's photo is that he matched the depth of field on his screen to the objects in the background.

Don't try this at home! Inglis brings the fun with a bath-themed screenshot.

Just imagine how fast Wilson had to have worked to match the clouds on and off the screen...

Wow. Just... wow!

What an obliging kitty.

Simple, but very effective, we like Byrne's view through his iMac.

Finally, to show that the transparent screen theme has evolved to the tablet, Sneekes has created a clear screen on his iPad, although we fear using it as a coaster for his Caipirinha is a bit much!

Planet orbiting two suns discovered

Astronomers claim to have discovered a planet which orbits two suns, like the fictional planet Tatooine featured in the sci-fi film series Star Wars.

An international team, which made the finding through NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, says the planet, called Kepler-16b, is about 200 light years from Earth and is believed to be a frozen world of rock and gas, about the size of Saturn.

It orbits two stars that are also circling each other, one about two-thirds the size of our sun, the other about a fifth the size of our sun. Each orbit takes 229 days; the stars eclipse each other every three weeks or so.

Alan Boss, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC and a member of the team, was quoted by the media as saying, “You would never get constant daylight because the two stars are so close together.

“They would come together in an eclipse every 20.5 days and then move apart again. As their separation increased, they would go down at different times, and that could make cocktail hour hard.”

In fact, the team, led by Laurance Doyle at the Carl Sagan Centre for the Study of Life in the Universe at the Seti Institute in California, spotted the planet after noticing unusual signals in data collected by the Kepler spacecraft.

Images captured by Kepler’s camera showed two stars orbiting each other and producing eclipses as they moved in front of one another. Both stars were small in comparison with our own sun, at about 69 and 20 per cent of the sun’s mass.

On closer inspection, the footage revealed further eclipses that could not be explained by the movement of the two stars, or an additional third star. Instead, a subtle drop in light from the stars, which amounted to a dimming of only 1.7 per cent, was attributed to an orbiting planet.

The astronomers turned next to a ground-based telescope, the Whipple Observatory in Arizona. With this, they monitored the shifting velocity of the heaviest star as it moved around in its orbit.

Those observations gave Mr. Doyle’s team the details they needed to reconstruct the orbits of the stars and its planet.

They showed that the two suns orbit each other every 41 days at a distance of about 21 million miles. The planet completes a circular orbit around both stars every 229 days at a distance of 65 million miles, according to the findings published in the Science journal.

Josh Carter, another team member, added: “Kepler-16b is the first confirmed, unambiguous example of a circumbinary planet — a planet orbiting not one, but two stars. Once again, we’re finding that our solar system is only one example of the variety of planetary systems nature can create.”

First Windows 8 tablet (from Samsung)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:55:00 +0000

Microsoft has designed Windows 8 to be an operating system to work on almost any device, whether it’s a tablet, laptop or desktop. But can Microsoft really design an OS that is just as functional with a touchscreen as it is with a keyboard and mouse?
The next-generation OS has everything it needs to work on an array of devices. It contains both a desktop interface and a Metro-style interface derived from Windows Phone. It runs both touchscreen apps and traditional desktop apps like Photoshop. It boots in seconds and has greatly improved its impact on memory.
We got our hands on one of the prototype Windows 8 tablets Microsoft gave out to developers at its Build conference in Anaheim, Calif. The device, developed by Samsung, isn’t slacking in the hardware department. The 11.6-inch tablet sports an Intel Core i5 processer, a 1366×768 Super PLS display, a 64 GB SSD, 4GB of RAM and ports for USB, micro SD and HDMI. It also comes with a keyboard, dock and stylus pen.

SEE ALSO: Windows 8: Developer Preview

Let’s be clear: this device will probably never make it to market as it stands. It’s an early prototype for Microsoft’s developer community to test Windows 8, itself a prototype piece of software. Still, it provides a good sense of where Windows is headed, and whether it will be able to compete with the iPad.
Here are our first impressions of the Windows 8 tablet.

Windows 8 Metro Home Screen

This is the Metro interface in Windows 8

Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 8

This is the Metro interface for IE10. Swiping from bottom to top or top to bottom will open up the URL bar and the tab bar.

Charm Bar

IE10 sports a "Charm Bar" on the right side of the screen, where users can share content, search for content, return to the Start menu, and more.

Windows 8 Desktop Interface

The Windows 8 desktop will be familiar to any Windows user. I installed Firefox in this instance of Windows 8.

Windows Store

The Windows Store for apps isn't working quite yet...

Tweet@Rama

Microsoft's Metro Twitter app, Tweet@Rama, is very simple to use.

Windows 8 Side View

The tablet includes a USB port, an SD card slot, a mini HDMI port and more.

Windows 8 Tablet: The Back

One thing we don't like about this Windows 8 tablet is the fact that it has a fan. Then again, this device is designed to be more "robust" than an iPad. It's part of Microsoft's attempt not to compromise with Windows.

Windows 8 Tablet With Dock

The dock includes an ethernet port, a USB port, an HDMI port and a headphone jack.

Windows 8, Dock & Keyboard

Turn your Windows 8 tablet into a fully-functional PC by bringing out the keyboard and mouse.

Using the Stylus

The Samsung tablet comes with a stylus for interacting with the touchscreen. It's rather responsive and useful for applications like this drawing app.

Windows 8 Start Screen

When you boot the Windows 8 tablet from sleep, this is the screen that greets you.

Windows 8 Login

Swipe up or down and the login screen will appear.

Samsung’s Windows 8 Tablet: First Impressions

Here’s how Windows 8 stacks up as a tablet OS:

- Speed: Windows 8 is very fast. While we haven’t had a chance to bog down our build with software that would drop its performance, it’s still impressive that the tablet boots in approximately eight seconds and comes out of sleep in even less time. We have no complaints about the overall performance.
- Aesthetic: The OS itself is quite pleasing. We’ve always liked Metro as an interface, and it works well on the tablet form factor. It stands out amongst the Android and iOS interfaces that dominate the tablet market today.
In case you’re curious, Windows 8 in desktop mode looks almost identical to Windows 7 — there will be no learning curve for the desktop portion of the OS. As for the hardware itself, it’s clean and simple, just the way it should be.
- Usability: Windows 8 depends on a series of touchscreen actions to operate effectively. The entire front of the tablet is a touchscreen, which allows for different touch interactions. Swiping from the far left of the screen to the right pulls up recent apps you’ve launched, and swiping from the far right of the screen to the left in certain apps brings up the Charm Bar, where you can share content with friends.
The touchscreen interface doesn’t feel as intuitive as the iPad, but overall it works well. Once I learned the touch commands, it was easy to navigate. Even the Windows desktop was surprisingly easy to use with touch commands. I was able to use most of the desktop apps I installed with relative ease.
- Metro: The big change to Windows 8 is the addition of the Metro interface. The block style is unique and usable. We can see a lot of people, especially the less tech-savvy, enjoying the straightforward interface with a mouse or a touchscreen. Apps designed in Metro are pleasant to use overall.
- Apps: The Windows 8 Developer Preview comes with a few Microsoft-built apps as demos. They are not apps that will launch with Windows 8, but they give you an idea of what is in store for the platform.
Apps launch fast and are easy to access. The ones I played with were simple, but fun. It’s likely you could run some pretty sophisticated games on a Windows 8 tablet, thanks to Microsoft’s “no compromise” policy.
- Keyboard/Mouse: When you connect a keyboard and a mouse to the tablet (via Bluetooth or USB), the device becomes a laptop with an 11.6-inch screen. Interacting with Metro apps with a mouse wasn’t always as easy or as fun as using my fingers, but it usually did the job.
- Desktop: There’s not much to say about the desktop interface. It’s Windows 7 with some speed and design improvements. If you love Windows 7, you’ll love the Windows 8 desktop. And if you hate it, well, there’s Metro.

Conclusion: Windows 8 feels more complete than a developer preview. It feels like using two operating systems, but the fact that they transition seamlessly into each other helps bridge that gap. The touch controls need some more work, but the basic concepts are solid.
Windows 8 is positioned to become a worthy competitor to iOS on the tablet and Mac OS X on the desktop. Still, we’re concerned about the hardware needed to run it, which is far ahead of the specs of the iPad — and, at this stage, requires a fan. That will make it tough for PC manufacturers to squeeze the OS into a device that can be cheap, simple and small enough to compete with Apple.
We give credit to Microsoft for taking a bold risk with Windows 8. Our guess is that it will pay off in the long run.

For the Tech Peoples

Phone or Tablet? ( I would prefer Phoblet !!!)

Moblie Phones: "The Inside Job"

At this festival season, new grand mobile exchange is available!!!

All kind of mobile available here, ICS 4.0 upgrade also available here!!!

Take maximum value of your old phone & buy new android!!!

What you read at mobile shops? 4.0" display, ICS, 1GHz processor (quite cool), blah blah blah............

Just go into mall and pick up new phone (just like ticking). HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony & new generation Micromax...........What would you buy?

So, finally i do all this things, & know the whole concept about selling product to a "confused customer".

May be this article became useful to you. Caution: Valid upto new models are not launched.

1. First thing first : Money

Actually it comes last.

2. Processor

This is same processors which used in Apple devices. Iphone 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4S, 5..................All the models have these arm processors. and of course

A5 < A7 < A8 < A9

OK, So phone has A9 processor it's better then all others. Now one other thing it's single core or dual core? Well, of course dual core is better. Now 1Ghz is better then 800 Mhz. & 1Ghz dual core Qualcomm is better then 1 GHz. So, eq. is

600 MHz < 800 MHz < 1 GHz < 1 GHz dual core < 1.x GHz (/dual core)

this is basic need processors. which we seen in market with mid-range phones. & ya of course if you want to use ICS 4.0 (Ice-Cream Sandwich 4.0 Android) phone must be 1 GHz, A7 processor or higher.

Game is not end here, This is just a processor. It can't work without instruction set & other peripherals just like motherboard in PC. Which is developed by "Qualcomm". Qualcomm has architecture named "Snapdragon" it also has version v1, v2, v3, v4........................

Sanpdragon v1 < v2 < v3 < v4

Which phone has best processor & architecture :

Iphone 4S - Sanpdragon v4, Cortex A9, 1.x GHz dual core around 40,000/-

Samsung Galaxy S III - Sanpdragon v4, Cortex A9, 1.x GHz dual core around 38,000/-

Samsung Galaxy S II - Snapdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1 GHz dual core around 30,000/-

Sony Xperia S - Sanpdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1.xGHz dual core around 28,000/-

HTC One X - Sanpdragon v3, Cortex A8, 1.xGHz dual core aound 25,000/-

Sony Xperia Sola/U - Sanpdragon v2, Cortex A7, 1GHz dual core 19,000/- / 13,000/-

Micromax Ninja A100 - Sanpdragon v2, Cortex A7, 1GHz dual core 9,500/-

3. RAM & Internal Memory

This is my most exciting area of study because it's change your buying option when you choose particular model. Take example of Sony Xperia Series.

All model has RAM 512 MB

Sony Xperia Tipo : Internal Memory - 2.5 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 10,000/-

Sony Xperia U : Internal Memory - 8 GB ( 4GB for user), No memory card slot 13,000/-

Sony Xperia Neo L : Internal Memory - 301 MB, memory slot upto 32 GB 17,000/-

Sony Xperia GO : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 18,000/-

Sony Xperia Sola : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB 19,000/-

Sony Xperia P : Internal Memory - 8 GB, memory slot upto 32 GB also 1GB RAM 22,000/-

Tell me which one you buy? Xperia Sola/U/P has Dual core 1 GHz processor other has Single core 1 GHz processor.

Same thing you should see in Samsung, HTC, LG. Samsung has ace, s, y, also in dual Sims. HTC has desire & one series. in those x,v,s,c. What would you buy?

Answer is What's your needs? more music, more movies, more pictures get extra memory card no need to use internal memoy. But you need more apps from play store, more games you must have more internal memory because apps can't run smoothly from memory card.

For info ICS 4.0 can run with 512 RAM or higher.

4. Display

just forgot that phone right now, 4 kind of displays are available TFT, LCD, LED, AMOLED.

TFT < LCD < LED < AMOLED

We all know about VGA (640X 480 ) resolution. different relational resolution is used in phone which are like QVGA (320 X 240), HVGA (480 X 420), WVGA (800 X 480), FWVGA (854 X 480). resolution is higher image is shown more accurate. also needs more processing power.

QVGA < HVGA < VGA < WVGA < FWVGA

ppi : part per inch How many pixles are in one square inch area is called ppi. Higher ppi is good for Display.

5. All Other Factors

higher version of android is better than older.

Sensors:

Accelerometer - linear movement of mobile for auto rotate screen.

Gyrometer - same as Accelerometer for auto rotate screen but works better than accelerometer.

Proximity Sensor - when you put phone near to ear screen will be turned off beacuse of it.

Compass - Point out north direction.

Which one is best?

Snapdragon v4/v3, 1.7/1.5 GHz Dual Core, Cortex A9 with 4.7/4.3" screen, AMOLED, 1 GB RAM, 8/16/32 GB memory, SGX 540/adreno 220 GPU.

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration not come under 25,000 RS.

Then, Snapdragon v3/v2, 1.2/1.0 GHz Dual Core. Cortex A7/A8, 3.5/4.0/4.3" screen, AMOLED/LED, 1 GB/512 MB RAM, 4/8 GB memory, SGX 530/adreno 210/adreno 205 GPU.

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration range 15,000 to 25,000 RS.

at last, Snapdragon v2/v3, 800 MHz/1 GHz Single Core, Cortex A7/A5, 3.0/3.5/4.0" screen, LCD/TFT/LED, 512 MB RAM, 2/4 GB memory, adreno 200 GPU

Android 4.0 supported

This configuration range 8,000 to 15,000 RS.

So, if you find model Less then this prices with higher configuration, it must be on your watch list.
