Sony Ericsson Launched Mini Pro Smartphone

2010-08-22T04:25:00.000-07:00

Sony Ericsson Launched XPERIA X10 mini and Mini Pro Smartphone

Sony EricssonXperia X10 Mini:

It has a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, comes in a compact and elegant shell. the XPERIA X10 pro is a great choice for people who want a functional no-nonsense smartphone though a bit thick.

The unique feature is its UI. Two different yet similar interfaces have been developed to augment the handset multimedia and Social Networking capabilities. Timescape is a sophisticated interface combining facial recognition technology with plenty of social networking access directly from your contacts section. And, MediaScape takes care of all your online and on-board media and categorizes it well enough to make it easy. MTV is also one of the new brand partners with SE and intend to have their very own app loaded onto the handset with exclusive content. The 1GHz processor seemed speedy enough to handle all functions well enough.

Sony EricssonXperia X10 Mini Pro:

They are small and easily fit into the palm of your hand and support Human Curvature Design. Both run on Android platforms and come preloaded with the Timescape interface. But, Mediascape is not part of this deal. Both handsets offer plenty of connectivity. The Mini Pro’s slide out QWERTY is an added advantage for speedy texting, the keypad has individual keys that are spaced out evenly, like that of Nokia’s N97 and its Mini counterpart. Unfortunately, these Android handsets also come lacking sufficient video codec support.

Sony EricssonXperia X10 features 4-inch Scratch-resistant touch-screen with 480 x 854 pixels and 65k colours and 8MP camera (LED flash) featuring face smile detection. Whereas, the X10 Mini are 2.5-inch Scratch-resistant touch-screen with 240 x 320 pixels and 16 million colours and 5MP camera (LED flash). But, the common features of both Xperion major and mini’s are 3G (HSDPA, HSUPA), EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0 (micro), FM radio, 3.5mm hands-free port, micro SD card support, GeoTagging and a GPS support with A-GPS support for Google Maps (trial version of Way-Finder preloaded), All three of these Android devices feature Google Maps with the new Street View. But, in India we have only old Google Maps as its under progress. The prices are yet to be announced, but it must be something that is more than affordable when comparing it with the handset features.

Dell Inspiron Releases 14R-N4010 Laptop

2010-08-22T04:23:00.000-07:00

Dell Inspiron 14R N4010 features a 14-inch screen, and it is equipped with Core i3 330M processor and Intel HD graphics. Dell Inspiron 14R N4010 also comes with SRS speakers and Windows 7 operating system.

This full-featured mainstream notebook is targeted at the 20-35 year-old users, and Dell Inspiron 14R N4010 can meet the requirements of most daily use except for commercial calculation, professional drafting, and premium games. Inspiron 14R N4010 is with the Drift ID design, which broken the parallelism between the screen and laptop body.

We can see from the picture, the screen of Inspiron 14R N4010 is located nearer to users than before, and the Drift ID design increase the screen height, which is ergonomic. What’s more, as the screen is with 16:9 ratio, the screenframes are become narrow and much more beautiful.

When it comes to hardware and features, there is nothing extraordinary about this machine, except that, it features 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB hard drive, a combination that’s uncommon in laptops priced similarly. Though it doesn’t brag in the features department, it still has everything that makes a well equipped entry-level laptop for home and office use. In fact, even business people and professionals who want entry-level performance on the move may go for it. Also, a 2.4 Kg laptop is rather convenient to carry for long hauls.

With an Intel HM55 chipset, the N4010 runs off a Core i3-330 CPU, and with sufficient memory and ample room for office documents and multimedia content, there’s nothing lacking, well almost nothing. The 14-inch glossy screen (1366x768) with onboard Intel graphics should suffice for light multimedia and office work. At this price, we were not considering the absence of discrete graphics a downside, but it would have been great to have a dedicated GPU.

Sony Launches Full-Frame Digital SLR Camera

Sony Launches DSLR-A850 Full-Frame Digital SLR Camera

Sony's newest full frame Alpha model, the DSLR-A850 (aka the A850 or Alpha 850) is a powerful dSLR that boasts features that industry professionals demand. These include a high-resolution 24-megapixel CMOS image sensor, fast Dual BIONZ image processor setup, in-body Super SteadyShot image stabilization, weather and dust resistance, dual card slots for CF and MS Duo type media, 9-point AF system, and a broad sensitivity range to name a few.

It offers almost all features of the company's flagship full frame DSLR A900, but at a more affordable price. It is built around the same 24.6MP CMOS sensor and incorporates A900's 3.0 inch 921k LCD, sensor-shift image-stabilization and Dual Bionz processors. The only compromise is a 98% viewfinder coverage against A900's 100% and slower continuous shooting. To complement the A850, Sony has also announced a mid-priced 28-75mm constant F2.8 SAM lens to fit with the A850's affordable full-frame ethos.

Sony A850 has a Sony Alpha lens mount that also accepts Konica and Konica Minolta glass. A large pentaprism sits above the lens mount, both dictating the camera body's workmanlike visual aesthetic, and providing a very large and bright TTL optical viewfinder with 0.74x magnification. The rear panel features a large 3-inch LCD display with 921,600 dot resolution, equating to VGA (640 x 480) pixel with three R, G, and B dots per pixel. This is used solely for reviewing of images, as well as for menus and status display; the Sony A850 doesn't offer live view capability.

Sony Alpha A850 offers ISO sensitivity from 200 to 3,200 equivalent, but is expandable to ISO 100 to 6,400 equivalent. Shutter speeds range from 30 to 1/8000 second, plus a bulb setting, and x-sync is 1/250 second (or 1/200 second when SteadyShot is enabled). Metering is achieved by a 40-segment honeycomb sensor, and you can also choose from center-weighted or spot metering modes. Focusing is achieved courtesy of a a nine-point phase detection autofocus system with f/2.8 dual center cross sensor, and there are also ten supplemental AF-assist points arranged adjacent to the main AF points.

Viewsonic Launched PJD6221 3D Ready Projector

2010-08-22T04:09:00.000-07:00

The PJD6221 is an modernized 120Hz / 3D ready DLP projector that includes Brilliant Color record to furnish some-more colourful colors, whilst the tall liughtness as well as contrariety ratios have this projector gleam in probably any lighting situation. This projector is written for table top make make use of of or can be mounted upon the roof for classrooms as well as assembly rooms. The tip bucket flare as well as filter less pattern provides for easy upkeep as well as low sum price of ownership.

The endless submit options as well as integrated 2W orator yield for in effect presentations or classroom lessons. This projector additionally facilities sealed captioning for the conference impaired. The PJD6211 is preferred for make make use of of in both classrooms as well as corporate settings. Built with Brilliant ColorTM technology, The PJD6211 delivers 2300 lumens with the 1024 x 768 XGA local resolution. It is destiny proofed for the ultimate technologies with 120Hz / 3D ready await as well as offers the accumulation of facilities such as carry out as well as close.

We straightway placed the unit about 9 feet from the screen, and plugged it in via VGA to the HTPC, which contained the Nvidia 3D Vision boomba, latest drivers et al. I just wanted to see whether the feature worked mainly, which it did, and secondly whether it runs smoothly through time, meaning there were no hiccups in frames. This too was not an issue. The overall screen size we tuned was about 100 inches, which adjusted itself geometrically quite well, due to the auto keystone adjust feature.

Moving on from 3D specific moves, I initiated the Display Mate test regime, to see accuracy of color and most importantly, the GREYSCALE. The conclusion after these tests was simply that the projector has decent lumen output, but not so much to be used in broad light. Presentation will need slightly dim ambience. Also the colors are warmer, meaning reds tint slightly out of balance.

First and foremost, its 3D ready, supporting 120 Hz frame rates. Thus that makes it automatically a cut above the mediocre; besides the 3D we have a host of regular, but impressive features found in DLP models today, the main one being BrilliantColor technology.

The form of the product has nothing stark or loud in design, rather is quite a simple, functional piece of work. The arrangement of the buttons on top is pleasant, laying on a glossy finish, which itself is neighbored by a matte finish, thus the top panel avoids looking bland. The tactile feel of the buttons are impressive, no complaints there.

Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position.

Precise 5-Way Controller

Kindle has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words.

Long Battery Life

Long Battery Life-Read for Days Without Recharging

With Kindle's long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 1 week with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

Charge Via USB

Kindle ships with a U.S. power adapter and a micro-USB cable for charging your Kindle from a computer USB port. The U.S. power adapter supports voltages 100V-240V.

Wireless Access With Whispernet

Get Books in as Little as 60 Seconds

Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus a high-speed data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike Wi-Fi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot. Wireless download times can vary based on 3G or EDGE/GPRS coverage, signal strength, and file size. See wireless coverage map for availability.

No Monthly Wireless Bills

No monthly wireless bills or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you won't see a monthly wireless bill. There is no wireless setup?you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box.

Global Coverage

Uses GSM technology-the most popular mobile wireless standard-with wireless coverage in over 100 countries.

Travel the Globe with Kindle

Travel the globe and still get books in under 60 seconds. Download books wirelessly in over 100 countries around the world, such as Australia,Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Norway, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom (UK), and many others. Stay in touch with news from home by having your newspaper and magazine subscriptions delivered wirelessly while you travel.

Carry Your Library in 10.2 Ounces

Holds Over 1,500 Books

The ultimate travel companion, Kindle weighs 10.2 ounces and holds up to 1,500 books. No longer pick and choose which books fit in your carry-on. You can always have your entire Kindle library with you.

Automatic Library Backup: Re-Download Your Books Wirelessly

Books you purchase from the Kindle Store are backed up online in your Kindle book library at Amazon.com. You can wirelessly re-download books available in your library. This allows you to make room for new titles on your Kindle. We even back up your last page read and annotations.

Dell Streak arrives in the US at long last

2010-08-13T03:41:00.001-07:00

The Dell Streak has had its fair chance to shine in the UK for some time already, so it is now the time for folks in the US to play with the Streak. Dell has just made available their 5″ tablet device to North America, but not without some initial snags already. It seems that while you are able to pick it up for $299.99 with a new 2-year AT&T contract, there is also an option to do so for a rather $549.99 without. The snag? Even if you want to put in a SIM card from another carrier, you can’t, simply because the Dell Streak is carrier locked to AT&T. That’s a bummer for folks who prefer services from other providers, but we are pretty sure that hackers who see this as a delightful challenge will do their level best to unlock the Dell Streak in due time.

Orders for the Dell Streak Tablet should have started from today onwards, where the Streak will be released tomorrow. Before we proceed further, here are some details on the Streak – this carbon black Android-based tablet will come equipped with a 5-inch display, where it aims to function as more than just a portable media player, providing excellent “on-the-go” entertainment, social connection, and navigation experience. It comes with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, while 3G support enables easy access for downloading and listening to music, updating social networking status in real-time, and staying connected to friends and family through e-mail, text, IM, and voice calls, wherever you are.

The 5-inch display is also great to present Web pages in their natural form, making it nearly as good as the smallest netbook. With a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor within, you won’t find the Streak gasping for breath as it goes about with your daily business. Integrated Google Maps offer turn-by-turn navigation, street and satellite views, while a high resolution 5-megapixel camera lets you capture memories vividly wherever you are at that moment. Its 2GB of internal memory can be further augmented using a microSD memory card.

Sprint Battery Boost from Technocel

2010-08-13T03:40:00.001-07:00

Technocel has just rolled out its latest device, the Sprint Battery Boost which is actually a portable recharging solution that doubles up as microSD memory card reader, catering for most of the gadgets out there such as cellphones, Bluetooth headsets and devices that come with a micro USB port. The Sprint Battery Boost itself has a 600 mAh lithium ion battery that can offer up to another hour of talk time on your handset on average, while its microSD memory card slot reader lets you store and transfer data files such as photos, documents and music files on-the-go. It can be juiced up when connected to any powered USB port, and thanks to its built-in carabineer clip, you can always keep it close to you wherever you go. The Sprint Battery Boost retails for $29.99 and is already available at Sprint Stores nationwide

WikiReader now comes with 15 more languages

2010-08-13T03:39:00.001-07:00

Openmoko’s WikiReader device might resemble a pager, and for some, it could very well share the same status as the pager in this day and age. After all, with many people already being proud owners of a smartphone which allows one to access the Internet any time they please, why would there be a need for a portable version of Wikipedia which is not updated dynamically? Currently, the Openmoko WikiReader palm-sized electronic encyclopedia contains more than 3 million English language Wikipedia articles, but the latest English language version is now equipped with 14 other language versions of Wikipedia including Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Norwegian, Greek, French, Finnish, Danish, Dutch, German, Spanish, Welsh, Russian and Hungarian. Apart from that, the virtual keyboards with characters to support them are also thrown in for good measure.

The main reason behind the WikiReader’s existence was belief that people don’t go to Wikipedia because they want to be on the Internet, instead, they end up there as it’s the world’s best resource for finding answers and discovering new questions. WikiReader is more or less “Wikipedia in your Pocket”, although it isn’t updated as often as one would like it (unlike the Internet version). This lightweight device is battery operated, featuring a simple three-button design, a glass touchscreen display and an ergonomic rounded housing which makes it perfect to tote around. With a sophisticated compression technique, the WikiReader is able to store and deliver more than 3 million Wikipedia articles, which would mean there is no need to worry about external connections, additional monthly subscriptions, and Internet connections. A couple of AAA batteries offer enough juice to last for months on end for the average user, and can perform lightning-fast searches if you so desire.

Openmoko hopes to see more people use multiple language Wikis, and have made them available on a microSD memory card format. For example, the Chinese version starts from 32MB while it takes up to 5GB to hold the English language Wikipedia. Currently, the WikiReader supports microSD cards up to 16GB in size. It will cost $69 for a WikiReader with a 4GB microSD card, while an International 8GB version of WikiReader is available at Amazon as well as the company’s own web store for $99.

Texas Instruments ready to rock new school year with TI-Nspire with Touchpad graphing calculator

2010-08-13T03:37:00.000-07:00

Do you love math? If the answer is in the affirmative, and you want to make sure your progeny follows in your footsteps, then watching the Count from Sesame Street in one’s early years is a pretty good start. When your kid gets to middle school, surprise him or her with the following birthday present – we’re talking about the TI-Nspire with Touchpad graphing calculator which is suitable for math and science classes. After all, this is a one time investment which is good tnough to last through college-level math, now how about that? Costing just $150, it could be one of the better purchase decisions that you make in your life.

The graphing calculator will be accompanied with TI-Nspire Student Software for the home computer, enables students to have the flexibility of doing their homework at school, at home or anywhere they go. Said software allows them to view their work in more detail on a larger computer display, which is also good for the eyes in the long run since you don’t need to squint. The computer software also supports color when it comes to having vibrant views of graphs and charts. All of these come together in making learning math easier and more interactive, and thanks to a more convenient touchpad and the keypad layout, one is able to access functions easily and crunch numbers in a jiffy.

TI-Nspire with Touchpad also come with instructions on how to order a TI-84 Plus keypad for free via mail. This TI-84 Plus keypad can then be interchanged with the TI-Nspire Touchpad keypad, offering students the ability to select between two calculator models without forking out additional dough. Now that’s one smart product, and you certainly don’t need a calculator to tell you how much value there is in a single purchase. Heck, it is even accompanied by access to free, downloadable test preparation questions for SAT, ACT and AP exams from Princeton Review, where it is also legit to see action on SAT, AP, ACT, IB, PSAT/NSMQT, and Praxis exams, alongside a slew of state standardized tests.
