Not Your Usual Chinese Smartphone

2011-12-28T20:56:00.000+01:00

Lately I have been hearing a lot of enthusiastic press about the MX phone from Chinese manufacturer Meizu, and how it will be the world's first quad-core phone running Android. It certainly has the (glossy) looks, but from the published specifications I am still unsure of how the phone will work and what kind of software it will be able to run. I have seen a lot of eastern smartphones in the past. When advertised on websites they normally look too good to be true, and in fact they mostly are. They have the looks, but the software is always awful. So I guess in this case it is best to reserve judgement until May, when the quad-core MX should be made available.

A Look at Apple's New 'Siri'

2011-10-05T18:01:00.001+02:00

BY CHARLIE MCKEAGUE ANCHOR ANA COMPAIN-ROMERO Ladies and gentlemen -- the iPhone 4S -- it's here and it's real. Apple's highly anticipated new smartphone was announced Tuesday. And while the specs are impressive, its got one new feature that's really getting some press - and its not the cloud. "It's the next evolution of voice control and based on their acquisition of the Siri assistant. Now, its all voice control and will allow you to make appointments that are instantly added to your calendar, compose voice to text messages, and create reminders for that rash ointment you forgot about." (Video: CNET) Boom! But is it really a breakthrough? Google has basically already been there, done that. But either way -- a reporter for Fox News says Assistant IS all that. "Imagine if you had a personal assistant built into your iPhone. ... You just pick up your iPhone and say remind me to pick up bread later today. Then it populates puts that information right inside your calendar and then sends you reminders. No typing involved." And all of that causing Wired to say... "Apple's Rumored Virtual Assistant Could Outshine New iPhone" So it's gonna be cool, but is it any different than what's already out there? According to Apple Insider, Apple says yes - and here's why. "It will figure out what results you don't like, what restaurants you frequent, and what people you want to talk to the most. It will adapt to your needs and become more than just a module for voice commands..." So it ...

New Sony Xperia Play. GIVEAWAY-Taste it Keep it!

2011-09-28T19:25:00.001+02:00

Click here: giveaways.pvaworld.info Did You see our Facebook page: www.facebook.com A Playstation phone has been the desire of many ever since Sony and Ericsson combined forces back in 2001. Soon after the merger, the Sony Cybershot brand was given to the Sony Ericsson range of camera phones, but despite the wishes of many, the Playstation phone never came. In recent times, the fortunes of Sony Ericsson within the industry haven't always been positive, but the release of handsets running the Android OS has breathed a new lease of life into the brand, and now at long last we have the fabled Playstation phone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Weighing 175g, the Xperia Play measures in at 119 x 62 x 16mm, and boasts a large, 4.0 inch LED backlit capacitive touchscreen, supporting up to 16 million colours and with a pixel resolution of 480 x 854.

Soon after launch the Xperia Play will have close to 50 titles available, giving gamers a wide choice of games to choose from.

Google's Instant On Mobile Devices - Engadget

2011-03-09T08:22:00.001+01:00

We've never had a use for Google Instant Search on mobile, so we didn't expect much when Google's Instant Previews invaded the smartphone realm as well. You know what? They're actually surprisingly useful. Instead of trying to cram additional information into Google's already-crowded mobile website, Instant Previews adds a little magnifying glass next to most every result instead, and clicking on the magnifier brings up a series of cached thumbnails of each page that you can scroll through in portrait or landscape modes. It's a very visual way of finding what you're looking for, and more importantly, it's quick even over 3G, saving time and mobile bandwidth that would otherwise be spent clicking through links one by one. Rather than decipher that long-winded explanation, though, why don't you try it out for yourself or watch our video demonstration after the break?
