RIM Launches BlackBerry 10 Platform

2012-05-23T19:27:00.001-07:00

Research In Motion (RIM) disclosed its vision for the long–awaited BlackBerry 10 platform at the BlackBerry World conference in Orlando. The company has set out for itself in delivering the new platform.

Some new key features were demonstrated, including keyboard and gesture. The touch-based keyboard is perhaps the most shocking. Buttons are large and swipe gestures can be used to pull up symbols and numbers. RIM plans to integrate gesture controls into BB10. For instance, users can answer or reject calls by performing a long press then swiping up or down. The phone has been improved with the cameral software. Users can touch anywhere on a photo to go back in time after snapping it.

The Waterloo-headquartered multinational telecommunications company is distributing a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device to help developers get started on the platform. This testing unit will support the developer community by proving necessary tools to build applications for BB10 devices. "Developers building for BlackBerry 10 will be able to easily create the kind of cutting-edge apps that deliver truly engaging experiences and ‘wow’ customers,” said Alec Saunders, vice president of Developer Relations and Ecosystems Development at RIM.

Research In Motion aimed to reserve huge market-share losses to Google Inc’s Android and Apple Inc. The Waterloo-headquartered company is starting from scratch with its next-generation BlackBerry 10.

BlackBerry 10 has touch-sensitive frame which allows users to swipe to call up a menu.

Perhaps, RIM made its most crucial launch in its history this year.

The new on-screen keyboard offers predictive next word suggestions.

BlackBerry 10 platform will be compatible with few of the applications available for its existing phones.

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha has a 4.2-inch touchscreen at a resolution of 1,280 by 768 pixels and Micro USB for charging and debugging.

Some features of the BlackBerry 10 operating system running on a prototype device were revealed.

Samsung has unveiled its new handset, the Galaxy S3 in Europe ahead of other markets.

The new smartphone is bigger than the 4.3 inch screen of Nokia's Lumia 900 and the 3.5 inch display of Apple's iPhone 4S. It has a 4.8 inch screen. The S3 features an 8 megapixel camera on the rear. The mix of face recognition technology and “intelligent camera features” offer owners a more natural experience. Besides the camera on the rear, the phone has a 1.9 megapixel front camera for video calls.

The handset is perceived to be critical to how people view the Android system it runs and the firm’s brand. With the popularity of the previous Galaxy- the S2, the company overtook Nokia to become the best-selling mobile phone maker in the world. According to Adam Leach, principal analyst at Ovum, the importance of the S3 could not be underestimated. However, the phone needs to stand out among many smartphones like Apple’s iPhone.

Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Samsung Galaxy S3 features an 8 megapixel camera on the rear and a 1.9 megapixel front camera.

Cameras feature share shot, HDR, burst mode, and buddy photo share.

Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 4.8 inch screen. It is significantly bigger than the 4.3 inch screen of Nokia's Lumia 900 and the 3.5 inch display of Apple's iPhone 4S.

The smartphone can wirelessly connect to Samsung television screens.

Samsung Galaxy S III has a glossy plastic battery cover and LED flash.

It offers an internal memory of up to 64GB and an SD slot to add more.

The phone adds voice controls and high-speed “beaming’ of content and exclusive apps.

The phone will be available in two colors, marble white and pebble blue.

Samsung has revealed in London, on the 3rd of May, that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will head to North America this June. The smartphone will launch on May 29 in Europe, and in 10 other cities worldwide including Dubai and Tokyo.

The iPhone 4S And Angry Birds Space-A Look At The Two

2012-04-02T10:26:00.000-07:00

By Emma Rosher

The iPhone 4S is a handset that gives users access to thousands of games from the excellent iTunes App Store. Recently we have seen some very popular games launched including the excellent Temple Run and the hugely popular Draw Something. There is a new game available that looks to become one of the most popular downloads ever on this device and also on Android handsets like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Angry Birds Space is the latest installment in the popular series of games that are produced by Rovio. Despite the title only being officially launched on the 22nd March the game has already been downloaded a massive 10 million times. A large number of these downloads will have been from Android users as the game is free on this operating system but huge numbers of users of iOS devices like the iPhone 4S have also been happy to spend the relatively small sum of 69 pence to get access to this excellent title. This new game takes place outside of the earths atmosphere which means that the birds that are used as missiles are affected by zero gravity. This makes the gameplay a little more tricky but still very addictive. Over 60 levels are available on this new game and there are also a host of new characters each with their own special powers. Users of the iPad tablet device can also access the title but this version is slightly more expensive at £1.99.

The Angry Birds series of games have become the most popular series of titles ever released for the iPhone 4S. The addictive strategy puzzle game is developed by Finnish company Rovio who are also responsible for popular games such as Darkest Fear and Bounce Evolution. There have been four versions of the game produced in total which have generated a staggering 500 million downloads with 12 million of these from users of Apple devices. The simple physics of the games make it perfect for a mobile device while the relatively short playing time makes it perfect if the user only has a few minutes to spare while they are travelling on the train or waiting for an appointment. The early success of the fourth version of this title should ensure that we see yet another sequel launched once users have grown tired of this latest effort.

The Angry Birds series of games is one of the Apple App Stores most popular titles and the iPhone 4S is the perfect platform for users to take full advantage of everything that the game has to offer. The responsive touchscreen enables precise control of characters while the high resolution means that the simple graphics look excellent on this device.

Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook’s Specs, Price and Release Date Revealed

2012-02-29T09:03:00.000-08:00

By Henry Funk

In the year of 2012, wise consumers tend to buy thin, light, quick-starting Windows laptops called ultrabooks. As the result, many companies, including Lenovo, Toshiba and even Dell have already invested in this new category. In recent years, Dell has had some difficulties in attracting buyers. Therefore, the XPS 13 introduced recently with specs, price, release date and other details is expected to attract more consumers for the company.

Dell XPS 13 is not different from other ultrabooks. Being a thin, light laptop with excellent powers, the XPS 13 is aimed to complete with Apple’s MacBook Air. Dell XPS 13 features a full-size screen and keyboard. The ultrabook, which uses a solid-state drive, starts up as well as resumes quickly.

The XPS 13 is the first ultrabook to be released by Dell late in February 2012 in the United States at $999

On the other hand, the XPS 13 is equipped with a 13-inch screen, making the device easier to be put in a briefcase. When being placed alongside a MacBook Air, the Dell’s first ultrabook looks noticeably smaller. However, the Dell XPS 13 isn’t smaller than its competitors in various dimensions.

The XPS 13 is thin – very thin, varying between 0.24 and 0.71 inches and weighs in at only 2.99 pounds

Talking about Dell XPS 13 ultrabook’s price, the ultra slim laptop with 4 gigabytes of memory and a 128 gigabyte solid-state drive is priced starting at $999. With the same specs, the Dell XPS 13 is estimated $300 less than Apple’s MacBook Air.

The XPS 13 is expected to attract more consumers for Dell

Although the 13-inch screen is suitable in Dell’s first ultrabook, it features a lower resolution in comparison to the Apple screen of the same size. Dell says they will improve the resolution later this year.

The Dell XPS 13 uses a full-size keyboard

However, Dell XPS 13’s battery life is disappointing. The battery on the XPS 13 lasts just under four hours in comparison to nearly five hours of the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s and almost six hours of the MacBook Air.

Being a thin, light laptop with excellent powers, the Dell XPS 13 is aimed to complete with Apple’s MacBook Air

Nokia has just announced the 808 PureView during its press conference at Mobile World Congress 2012. The 808 PureView is a camera-centric Symbian phone which definitely is a photographer’s dream and a smartphone enthusiast’s nightmare. Besides a jaw-dropping 41-megapixel camera, the Nokia 808 PureView is also powered by Symbian Belle, a dated operating system Nokia is currently in the process of tossing to the curb. The high-resolution 41-megapixel sensor amazingly include Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology that allows users to zoom without any loss of clarity when taking pictures at low resolution. The camera also assists users to record 1080p videos in very low light situations at 30 frames per second and is capable of capturing video and photos at the same time. Especially, the camera will not lose clarity while it zooms.

According Nokia, the Nokia 808 PureView is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView imaging technologies, including high-resolution sensors and optics from Carl Zeiss

The Nokia 808 PureView, which was inspired by the idea of satellite imagery, allows a talk time (over a 3G network) of 6.5 hours, with a standby time of up to 540 hours.

The 4.0 inch touch screen offers several pages that you can customize with widgets and shortcuts. The Home button and the power control are placed at the bottom

Users can switch between standard resolutions like 2/3, 5, and 8-megapixels or shoot photos in up to 38-megapixels maximum. Otherwise, users are able to capture an image, zoom in, reframe, and crop without any noise or pixelation

The phone features a 4.0 inch AMOLED screen with Corning Gorilla Glass and 16GB of built-in storage with expandability enabled through a microSD card up to 32GB

Pictures can be uploaded directly to Facebook thanks to strong social media integration

You also can save different wallpapers for each of the home screens. There is a shortcut on the home screen to open the media player

The Nokia 808 PureView is due to release in May 2012 with price for the Symbian Belle-powered handset of €450 or 600 US dollars

Microsoft Office 15 Screenshots Leaked, Release Date Slated For The End of 2012

2012-02-28T00:40:00.000-08:00

By Phoenix Rose

Microsoft announced earlier this month that it will release Office 15 applications for Windows 8 on ARM devices. And a preview of what Microsoft Office 15 will look like has been revealed. Although the software suite is scheduled to appear as a public beta this summer, it is predicted by many people to come by the end of 2012.

Microsoft Office 15 is said to feature a lot of controversial changes, including the updated Windows logo and a new "Charms bar" for the advantage of the tried and true Start menu. Microsoft is also including a button in each of its Office 15 apps that enables a “touch mode.” The beta will run using the classic desktop interface instead of the "Metro-style" touch experience. Office 15 will still be a familiar one because it also features chromed borders and the menu system that we see in Office 2007 and Office 2010. In contrast, Microsoft's next version of Office will run programs in a flat full-screen mode that activates Touch Mode.

Windows 8 and its radically new touch-centric Metro interface, Office 15, make an excited thing. Office 15’s “touch mode" button is designed to add user interface support for devices that may not have Windows 8's touch capabilities.

Some screenshots of Microsoft's Office 15 have appeared online. Let’s have a look at pictures as following to see an early technical preview of Windows 8's Office 15:

Microsoft is making a new next-generation productivity suite, code-named “Office 15.” It is ready for Windows 8

Office 15 Word: If you don’t like the Ribbon interface, it is reduced to the smallest possible amount for Office 15

Office 15 PowerPoint will feature more templates and transition effects

Office 15 Excel: this is a preview of a spreadsheet in Office 15

The circle in the middle of the spreadsheet is known as a finger highlighting cells, showing that Microsoft is making Office 15 touch-friendly

An Overview Of Models Set To Challenge The iPhone 5

2012-02-06T10:52:00.000-08:00

By Emma Rosher

It is expected that Apple will launch their eagerly awaited iPhone 5 this year. The device is rumoured to include a larger display than its predecessor and it is also expected that the device will be the first Apple phone to incorporate a quad core processor. We take a look at some models due to be launched by rival brands that will compete with this model for market share.

At the recent CES show Sony announced details of the new Xperia S, the first handset to be launched by the company since they parted ways with Ericsson. This exciting new model incorporates a very high quality 4.3 inch LED backit display that is capable of producing a pixel density of 342 pixels per inch. This figure exceeds what the iPhone 4S can offer but it is widely expected that the new iPhone will display an even higher level than this. Sony have also raised the bar for multi media features on this model by fitting an excellent 12 million pixel camera and 1080P HD video capture.

Over the past two years the Windows Mobile operating system has enjoyed continual growth and this year that trend looks set to continue. HTC are launching a new premium device that makes use of this platform and it looks set to be one of the best handsets released this year. The new HTC Titan 2 is a high specification new device that uses a fast 1.5Ghz processor which makes it one of the most powerful phones available. The model uses version 7.5 of the Windows OS and incorporates a market leading 16 million pixel camera. You can view your stunning photographs on the handsets large 4.7 inch display which uses S-LCD technology to produce great image quality although at 199PPI pixel density it falls some way short of what the iPhone 5 and the Xperia S can offer.

Despite the new iPhone 5 boasting a larger screen than previous versions many multi media fans will still be looking for an even larger display and that is why devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note are proving a huge success. Launched at the end of 2011 this model looks set to become one of the hits of 2012 thanks to an outstanding 5.3 inch Super AMOLED display. In addition to offering the largest screen available on any mobile phone the Galaxy Note also includes a powerful dual core 1.4Ghz processor which means that the device runs at great speeds even when performing multiple tasks.

The new iPhone 5 looks set to dominate the mobile market in 2012 but the other models we have looked at above will certainly prove stiff competition to this highly anticipated new device.

Hottest Technology Trends at CES 2012

2012-01-07T12:43:00.000-08:00

By Elizabeth Woods

The 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is officially opened in Las Vegas on the upcoming Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Tech companies are currently getting ready to showcase their latest products at this world’s largest annual technology event.

In 2009, netbooks became a big topic to talk about. Meanwhile, the year of 2010 saw the trends of 3D televisions and e-readers dominated the CES 2010. And the year of 2011 started with the “wave” of Android tablet. So what does 2012 promise? Here are hottest technology trends expected to see in the upcoming CES.

In May 2011, Intel introduced the concept of supercomputer Ultrabooks – laptops appear with slim designs and are equipped with solid state drives and longer battery life. Since then, customers have witnessed the launches of a series of Ultrabooks, including the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s, Acer Aspire S3, and Toshiba Portege Z835.

However, the real powerful supercomputer will be seen at CES 2012 as Intel announced to debut their 30 to 50 Ultrabooks at the event in Las Vegas

Supercomputer Ultrabooks

The smartphones loaded with quad-core processors, which are capable of handling as fast as laptops such as Nvidia's Tegra 3 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4, will soon be seen this year. The first launches of quad-core smartphones are expected to take place in the first three months of 2012.

Many people hope to see quad-core smartphones at CES 2012

Tablets have become headlines at CES since 2010 and CES 2012 is expected to see more of tablets following the release of Ice Cream Sandwich - Google's latest Android flavor. Coby plans to debut its four ICS tablets at the forthcoming CES

ICS tablets will be hot trend in 2012

OLED displays are expected to deliver more vivid colors and faster response times in comparison with LCD/LED TVs. However, this technology has yet to break into the television market. This can be changed at CES 2012 as LG announced its plans to show off what it calls the world's largest OLED HDTV.

LG's new TV features a 55-inch display. It weights 16.5 pounds, much lighter than many other types of HDTV. The device also offers a response time of less than 0.0001 milliseconds.

OLEDs, a hot topic of CES 2009, will be a trend to watch at CES 2012

4K is a type of display resolution with four times the pixel density of 1080p HDTVs, the current gold standard for high-definition displays on the market. This new display is called 4K Quad HD or Super HD. LG plans to bring CES 2012 an 84-inch 4K 3D HDTV with Internet connectivity. Meanwhile, Toshiba is also developing a 4K 3D display.

4K TVs are expected to see at CES next Tuesday in Las Vegas

Apple iPad 3 News: Release Date on February 2012 , Specs and Features

2011-12-13T11:26:00.000-08:00

By Taylor Meyer

While Samsung is about to introduce a new Galaxy Tab with a stunning 2560x1600 display in February, Apple plans to release a tablet launch in February of next year. The Apple Inc.'s next-generation tablet is dubbed iPad 3. According to a Citi analyst named Richard Gardner, the newest tablet “will boast a Retina display double the resolution of Apple's most recent model, the iPad 2 and Siri”. Apple fans also think that the technology giant has planned to launch iPad 3 in February to coincide with the birthday of its late co-founder Steve Jobs on 24 February.

Reportedly, the upcoming iPad 3 will be 0.7mm thicker than Apple's current iPad devices as it is required to accommodate dual-light bars needed for a higher-resolution display. A thicker iPad would mean Apple is powered with a number of specs into the device, which could include Retina Display and Dual LED backlight, a better camera, quad-core processor and etc.

Retina Display and Dual LED Backlight

Apple needs new LED backlight solutions as the next-generation iPad has a higher resolution than the present 2048x1536 to maintain the same brightness of the display. Rumors fly that Apple integrates two different LED backlights - each one on each face of the screen of iPad 3. Furthermore, the screen resolution enhancement which has been applied on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S may improve the iPad's graphics to super sharp and ultra clear levels.

Retina Display and Dual LED Backlight

Quad-core Processor

While iPad 2's dual-core A5 chip makes it “do twice the work at once" which provides high performance and power efficiency, iPad 3 might be powered by a quad-core processor which makes the new iPad incredibly powerful and creates more intensive and impressive games and applications

Quad-core Processor

Siri

Siri, which is the intelligent personal voice assistant from Apple and one of the most notable features of iPhone 4S, will also be featured on iPad 3

Better Camera

iPad fans expect that iPad 3 will come along with 2MP for front-facing camera and at least 5MP for the rear one

4G LTE Compatibility

4G LTE is set to come to iPhone 5 due to Qualcomm's next generation mobile device modem (MDM) chips. As the chips are staled to available in the first quarter of 2012, means iPad 3 could well be incorporating it

Samsung continues to surprise people with a sneak peek at the Verizon LTE flavor of the Galaxy Nexus at the Samsung Experience in Columbus Circle in New York City on Saturday, December 3. Samsung showed off its four pre-production versions of the Ice Cream Sandwich handset at the event. All of these Nexus models were running the Android 4.0.1 software and had no SIM cards. Therefore, users could only test them by using the built-in WiFi module. The performance of Verizon Galaxy Nexus phone was impossible to be tested on Verizon's network. Meanwhile, experts continue speculating whether the Sprint network will carry the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Here are reviews about the release date, specs and features of Samsung Galaxy Nexus:

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon version) features no SIM card and it is interesting that if we tried to install a SIM, a security alarm would ring. Nevertheless, Nexus models work fine with the Android 4.0.1 software and give the download speeds from 5000-7000 kbps.

The Galaxy Nexus is equipped with AMOLED 4.65 inch screen with a 720p resolution. The 8.94mm thinness gives the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon version) a sleek finish and weighs only 135g. Although the device is slender and light, it appears with 16.30 GB of storage and 1GB of RAM. Therefore, the phone has twice the memory of the iPhone 4S.

The Verizon Galaxy Nexus phone might be worth the wait after all

The rumored release dates for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is December 14

The Best Selling Apple iPhone 4S And The Exciting Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Which Is Better?

2011-11-28T17:54:00.000-08:00

By chris westley

The new Apple iPhone 4S has been making waves ever since its release and it quickly became the Apple’s fastest selling product. Many consumers love the specifications and design of the manufacturer’s new flagship handset. Several other manufacturers though, are releasing smartphones with equally impressive specifications. One of them is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

As the latest Google Nexus phone, a lot is expected of the device, but how does it stand up against the benchmark set by the iPhone 4? In this article I intend to find out, by comparing a couple of the key features of each handset.

Screen

The Apple iPhone 4 has long been considered the best smartphone in terms of screen resolution, with its sought after retina display being carried forward to the iPhone 4S. This boasts a resolution of 640x 960, and is called a retina display because the resolution is so high that individual pixels cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is one of only a small number of new handsets which offer a higher resolution than the retina display, which is quite an achievement. Packing a whopping 720x 1280 pixels, this takes touchscreens to a whole new level. Both handsets are therefore ideal multimedia devices; photos, videos, games and web pages are all displayed in the utmost quality and clarity. On paper, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus beats the iPhone 4S in this department, but it is questionable if the difference will be noticeable during everyday use.

Camera

When choosing a new mobile phone, one of the first things that people look at is the built in camera, and its quality carries a great influence over the decision of which phone to choose. Both the Samsung and Apple handsets impress in this respect. The iPhone 4S carries a higher pixel count, at 8 megapixels compared to the 5 megapixel camera of the Galaxy Nexus. It should be made clear at this stage that a pixel count is not the only factor in determining the quality of a photo. However, both handsets can shoot video in 1080p quality, and both offer autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, geo-tagging and face detection. The iPhone 4S has a few extra features like video stabilization and some hardware improvements over the iPhone 4. In my opinion, the iPhone 4S just has the edge when it comes to the camera. The Samsung handset is by no means a bad camera phone, but the extra pixel count and extra features of the iPhone 4 puts it just in front.

Choosing between these two handsets will be largely down to personal taste, and preference for a particular brand or operating system (iOS or Android). Both handsets offer downloadable apps, fast internet browsing, dual-core processors, and numerous innovations. In terms of the screen and camera, I would say that the iPhone 4S just has the edge over the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Samsung has a better screen resolution on paper, but the retina display of the iPhone is so fine that the human eye cannot distinguish between pixels, so it’s resolution is as good as it needs to be. The camera is arguably slightly better on the iPhone 4S, so overall this handset gets my vote.

At the end of the day, these are two of the most cutting edge flagship smartphones, and whichever one you go for, you will surely not be disappointed.
