Looks impressive? I bet it does!

But now, let me tell you the ugly truth.

It looks like I am raking in money now, but the truth is that it was not always like that! Just 6 months ago I was completely struggling. I had no programming skills, no team and no money. The only thing I had was a great desire to create the game of my dreams.

Creating a great app or game is only part of the story. The most important part is how to sell it successfully and get on top of apps store sales. That’s what most developers are missing, failing one after another in their efforts to live their dream. They put all their efforts into the development and miss the most important part – successful marketing! Even the best app can remain totally unknown

Wireless Charging may become usable with Qualcomm's effort

2011-11-20T15:13:00.000-08:00

Wireless charging has long been a possibility but not an entirely straightforward one, but that could change if Qualcomm has its way. The chip company has announced alliances with Duracell and Powermat to explore new wireless charging technologies and potentially establish an industry alliance to push a power standard.

The alliance will take advantage of the three company’s hitherto independent research into wireless power: Duracell’s MyGrid, Powermat‘s eponymous system, and Qualcomm’s own Wipower system. With Powermat, Qualcomm will explore a dual-mode receiver ASIC backward-compatible with both technologies, while moving forward Powermat’s range will be based on Wipower altogether.

As for Duracell, it seems they and Qualcomm will be pushing Wipower as a standard moving forward. If the three companies can manage to gain enough weight in the wireless charging industry, it’s possible we could see Qualcomm-based smartphones including wireless power tech as standard in the future.

Latest Laptops – Fashionable Portable Computers and Netbook

2011-10-29T13:26:00.000-07:00

Looking at the Different Categories of Laptops

In order to carry out a useful review of thelatest laotop it is necessary to look at the different categories that they lie in. The growth in the market sector and the variety of providers means that this is not an easy task. Moreover it is not a strictly scientific process because there has to be some supposition and conjecture. Each laptop will have a unique selling point as well as failings which will determine which type of buyers will go for it.
The latest laptops are just like portable computers and their development is still ongoing so we do not know what they will look in fifty year’s time. This constant development in technology is very much welcome given the stagnation in some other industries. That is why some consumers are getting confused because they do not know whether the latest laptops will become yesterday’s news in a few hours time.

Touch Studio 17, Dell aims to laptops with touchscreen

Dell has begun offering its new portable U.S. Touch Studio 17, a computer that comes with Windows 7 and touch screen combination in fashion.

This notebook has a screen of 17 inches where we can work with our fingers. In fact we can do more than one at a time since Studio 17 Touch screen is turned. We offer Full HD resolution and yet we have to settle for 900p or whatever it is the same, 1,600 × 900 pixels.

Dell modernizes its first multi-touch Tablet PC

2011-03-07T10:28:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday, Dell introduced a new version of its multi-touch, convertible Tablet PC (Latitude XT2), which was built as the first commercial Tablet PC that features multi-touch screen capabilities with a design that improves the security, increases the performance and maximizes the battery’s lifetime.

The price of the Latitude XT2 starts from $2,567 and it is available through http://www.dell.com/latitude. According to Dell, the new Tablet PC has a battery life of roughly 11 hours and 28 minutes with the use of two six-cell batteries. It has a full-size keyboard, a pointing stick and a pen that doesn’t need battery to operate. In this way, the user has more flexibility to enter information.
The multi-touch screen capabilities allow users to use natural gestures like a pinch or tap for scrolling, panning, rotating, zooming and more while they work with productivity applications they use every day. Contrary to the one-touch technology, Dell’s integration of multi-touch screen technology allows customers to use all the available space on the display. The Latitude XT2 can be configured to work with more than 5GB RAM. It has Intel vPro support and DASH Dell ControlPoint System Manager, which means easier administration in a corporate environment.
“As part of our commitment to deliver the best mobility experience, Dell revolutionized the tablet space with the first multi-touch capable product that allows customers to use the entire screen”, said Brett McAnally, director, Dell Product Group in India. “Today, we’re extending that leadership with the Latitude XT2 to deliver more performance, security and manageability”.

Dell Tablet PC – Latitude XT3 Convertible

2011-03-07T10:25:00.001-08:00

Need the functionality of a laptop but love the ergonomics and portability of a tablet? Dell’s new Latitude XT3 convertible may be just what the doctor ordered. The massive 13 inch screen actually rotates and folds back on itself converting this fairly powerful laptop into a tablet that outspecs most of its competition.

The dual core Sandy Bridge processor runs on a 2.5GHz Core i5-2420M CPU which makes battery life a bit of an issue but gives you the full-featured performance that most tablets can’t. There’s only 2GB of RAM under the hood though, which somewhat limits just how hard you can make this thing work.
The screen has undergone a bit of an upgrade since this model was announced. The touchscreen can recognize input from up to three fingers simultaneously but Dell was nice enough to include a stylus for those who like to be a bit more precise.
The magnesium frame makes this a bit of a beast. It’s light but exceptionally strong, making it an excellent portable work station for all but the most rigorous outdoor environments. And that bright little screen won’t get washed out in the harsh sunlight either.
There’s no official release date yet but promotional models are already circulating, so you know it won’t be long. I’d expect a pretty hefty price tag on the XT3 convertible, given all that it can do and the power it packs underneath the hood.
Hit up the official Dell blog for more on the new Latitude lineup.

Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS Camera

2011-03-07T10:23:00.000-08:00

It seems to me that these outdoorsy types that are relying on new fangled high technology are just setting themselves up for failure but I can’t help but admit I’m jealous of some of these gadgets. Take the new Optio WG-1 GPS camera from Pentax.

Yes, Pentax. It’s a compact and extremely rugged little point and shoot camera (that comes in black, yellow, and green) with a 14 megapixel sensor
There’s a 5X optical zoom that give you decent range and a 2.7 inch LCD on the back (which seems kind of small in comparison with the rest of these puppy’s spec’s).
It’s also shockproof and “crushproof” as long as whatever is crushing it doesn’t weigh more than 220 pounds. You can even take it for a dive down to 33 feet without risking compromise waterproofing.
The integrated GPS is great too but I wouldn’t buy the camera just for the GPS. In fact, if you want one without, you can get it for $50 less (and in purple!)
Another of the cool and probably understated benefits is that this camera will shoot in sub zero temperatures. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to take candid snapshots on a ski trip but having a shooter that actually works in the cold will definitely make it a lot easier.
It will shoot HD video but only in 720p (though there is a handy HDMI out).
It’s not exactly cheap at $399 but it beats replacing a $200 camera every time you go on a bit of an adventure.

SmartLab Recon 6.0 Rover Brings Kids Into the Golden Robot Age

2011-03-07T10:22:00.000-08:00

Those of us old enough to remember the Jetsons are more than likely disappointed that we don’t have automated robots to wait on us hand and foot quite yet. However, the younger generation is getting their fix of artificially semi-intelligent silicon delight with SmartLab’s new Recon 6.0 Rover. The little treaded robot comes with a microphone and speaker so they can scare friends and visitors alike with pre-recorded messages and is easily programmable (unlike most DVRs).
That’s right–the cool thing about this toy is that it’s not remote controlled. Similar to a hacked Roomba (but much cheaper) this toy relies on computer-style coding to tell it what to do. That’s where the educational component comes in—kids have to learn to program the Recon 6.0 Rover to make it do what they want it to.
Don’t worry, your child won’t have to re-write Java or hand-code DOS. There’s an LCD display on the front with several brightly colored buttons below (because kids like brightly colored buttons, right) and the Rover comes with an owner’s manual with everything you need to know to get started.
Kids (or pesky co-workers) can program it to wage cubicle warfare, chase the family dog, or annoy a bratty sister. And for $60 this thing is cheaper than Tickle-Me Elmo was back in the day—you do know what Tickle-Me Elmo was, right?
So, head on over to SmartLab Toys for the full spec’s and to order yours today.

Motorola and Android: Xoom Tablet Pricing Announced

2011-03-07T10:19:00.001-08:00

For those of you anxiously awaiting the Motorola Xoom tablet, you don’t have that much longer to wait. While you can’t pre-order one yet, you’ll most likely be able to do so within a week. But the good news is you finally know how much you’re going to have to scrounge up if you want to get your hands on one of these snazzy Honeycomb tablets.

The 32 GB 3G version will be available from Verizon and will cost a whopping $799 without any applicable discounts or deals. The Wi-Fi only version will be available starting at $600.00. And if you want to wait a little while, the Xoom will be 4G capable sometime later this year.
That’s not cheap but if you remember the iPad sticker shock upon release, you’ll see that this Xoom pricing falls right in line.
As for specs, the official word is that the final retail models will sport a 1 GHz dual core Tegra 2 processor. There’s a 5 MP camera (for you shutterbugs out there) “complete” with 720p recorder—which is a little disappointing. However, the Xoom will support full HD (1080p) video playback.
The Xoom also comes with 32 GB of onboard storage and a battery that’s rated for 10 hours of consecutive use.
It still seems a bit pricey to me but if you want more specs or to stare at some pretty pictures until this thing hits store shelves, head on over to Motorola for all the details.

Leaked: LG Optimus 3D pictured

2011-02-02T13:30:00.000-08:00

When we tested and reviewed the LG Optimus One last month, we weren’t particularly impressed with its capabilities, but despite being in the same ‘family’, the recently leaked Optimus 3D Android shares very little in the way of genetic bond with its predecessor.

Likely to be revealed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) later this month, Phandroid has acquired an image of what appears to be the LG Optimus 3D. Though yet to be officially unveiled, the handset is said to boast a 4.3-inch display, dual-core CPU, in particular (and the most exciting part) it will have a glasses-free 3D display – meaning you won’t need to look like an idiot in order to see 3D. The report states that the Optiums 3D will use multi-channel RAM and from the photograph there’s also a front-facing camera. LG will be holding a press event on February 14th, wonder what the event might be about?

Toshiba launches NB520 and NB500 netbooks

2011-02-02T13:27:00.000-08:00

Toshiba is amongst those laptop making companies that keeps in mind the general demands of an average laptop user. Their upcoming model, NB520, is surely the result of such forward thinking which will result in amazing sound quality from this laptop if you happen to buy the same.

We rarely find ourselves trying to hear loud music from our laptops as we don’t expect our laptops to come up with amazing sound experiences. Somehow, the times might just be changing with Toshiba NB520 round the corner.

Harman Kardon speakers will power the NB520 for those who love cracking music and NB500 will serve the purpose for those consumers who love to live life peacefully. Prices haven’t been announced yet but we are expecting something unexpected due to the “loud” feature.

Toshiba Dynabook Qosmio T750 laptop changes colours

2011-02-02T13:22:00.000-08:00

The Toshiba Dynabook has a monochromatic top which changes colours when you look at it. The colour of the laptop’s top changes when you turn it, move it no matter the angle you look at it. Most laptops on the market today are in a couple standard colors, but Toshiba wanted to add some colour to the Dynabook Qosmio. The added colour to the top of the laptop changes nothing about performance, it’s all for the looks and style. The top that changes colours and shimmers in the light is not paint, it’s multiple film layers overlapping creating the colorful effect when you move it.

The Toshiba Dynabook Qosmio has decent hardware inside too, in it includes a 2.66GHz processor using Intel Core i5-480M, 4GB of DDR3 memory RAM, and a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 display that is LED backlit.

ElectroHub Universal Wireless Charging Can Charges Up To 6 Devices At Once

2011-01-13T10:53:00.001-08:00

ElectroHub is one of the device that will be showed off in CES 2011 Expo next year. What’s great about this Wireless charging device is the capability of charging up to 6 devices at once, and those devices require no special case like what you should have with the wildcharge orDuraCell SmartPower myGrid. Instead, ElectroHub will come with a special ElectroHub battery that come in two common size of AA and AAA.

From the first appearance, it looks like a bathroom scale or digital kitchen scale with glossy surface. However, it’s really not one of them, and the glossy surface is the spot that you should place your gadgets for recharging (with the ElectroHub batteries installed).

According to CNET, ElectroHub wireless charger will be available in the first quarter of 2011 after showing of the device at CES 2011. You can expect to pay $39 for this ElectroHub wireless charging system which has come with a pair of ElectroHub batteries.

Warpia StreamHD Can Stream 1080p Contents Wirelessly From PC to HDTV

2011-01-13T10:51:00.001-08:00

Streaming content from PC To HDTV might not be a new stuff, but the ability to stream ‘wirelessly’ any 1080p full HD content from PC to your HDTV is indeed a news.

Warpia recently unveiled their device called StreamHD that could stream any content from your computer directly to your HDTV in full HD 1080p setting.

There are two devices that will come along with the package. One dongle for your PC (via USB) and another one via adapter/receiver that has a HDMI port, digital audio port and headphone port.

Warpia StreamHD can stream wirelessly in the range of 30 feet, but I’ve no idea if this device can stream through wall or not.

Do you really need to take a tablet?

2011-01-13T10:39:00.000-08:00

With the 17 million tablet PCs sold by Apple last year it could be argued that the slate has just started on its path of domination for the portable computing market.

This year at CES there were about 80 tablets on show, all the more impressive when considering that just last year the tablet was the iPad and some others in the pipeline.

But with companies ploughing so much cash into the development of tablets in an almost bewildering range of forms there is still debate as to whether there is enough desire from consumers to meet the expected demand.

Ads by TechClicks

“Producers are rushing to squeeze into a market space that barely exists, but folks believe will go through the proverbial roof,” commented marketing expert Andy Marken of Marken Communications.

While firms may be trying to produce tablets that cater to every conceivable need, are they really vital, or just another device to lump around with you? It seems that many of the applications that tablets are marketed towards are already pretty much covered.

For instance, if you want an e-reader you are better off going for the reasonably priced e-ink of the Kindle or others. Or, if you are looking for a useful word processors or office tools - like video post production, an ultra-light notebook could be more than adequate.

You can type on tablets more easily than a smartphone, but typing up a 2,000 word essay on a 10-inch touchscreen does not sound particularly appealing. Especially when you consider auto-correct. [On an iPad we had to hand, and this is no attack on Apple but rather the professional use of the format, "Typing up a 2,000 word essay on a 10-inch touchscreen does not sound particularly appealing" reads: "typing up a 2,000 word edssqy on qe 10-inch touchscreen hit sound particularly appefalig. Yes we can touch type.]

Some tablets, like the comparatively teensy Dell Streak, work as phones too - but quite how the user feels about clasping anything bigger, essentially a large tile to their head just to make a call is unclear. It's a bit Trigger Happy.

The only area that the tablet truly seems to slot comfortably in, right now, is moving web readers away from the desk and onto the arm chair. One of the main uses for the iPad is to have a peruse of some pay-walled Times stories before a quick tweet in front of Coronation Street, hardly the most groundbreaking of applications for £700 odd quid. But that doesn't even matter for most - because it's fun. It seems the tablet doesn't know what it wants to be yet. In the words of a hackette we know: "I wasn't sure what the Galaxy Tab was until I looked it up. But I know I want one."

In fact, the iPad itself is taking online reading time from the workplace and into prime time TV hours for a bit of sofa surfing, according to an article cited by PaidContent.

Sure there are certain professionals who would, for example a photographer, perhaps want to show images easily to clients on a portable device. Indeed paperless is something everyone, especially the tech giants who profit, want to move toward. Considering that the space in the market is not only occupied by the all-conquering Apple, now joined by 80 other devices, for tablets to become commonplace they will not just be used by professionals.

Of course this could just be boneheaded Luddite-ism, and the tablet may become the 21st century equivalent of a rolled up copy of the Sun in the back pocket that enjoyed ubiquity in many a building site during the last century.

With prices expected to begin to come down rapidly for non-Apple devices, and products featuring low price tags compared to high power on the horizon, it seems as though the devices will worm their ways into our lives.

“The challenge for the consumer who wants a tablet right now is to look at the units available and determine which companies will be the survivors, because consolidation will occur,” says Marken.

“Unlike netbooks, with their early media frenzy and consumer enthusiasm because of the low cost and notebook “look,” the tablet market will have staying power.”

The problem was, the netbook was an anorexic notebook, which many found had severe processing shortcomings.

”Ultimately perhaps it is not whether the tablets will truly gain a foothold, but which ones will survive the initial clamour," or, as Marken says, “Picking the winners from the losers will be the trick, but the tablet is here to stay.”

ASUS preps fat-ass GeForce GTX 580 DirectCU II

2011-01-13T10:34:00.000-08:00

NVIDIA's high-end GeForce GTX 580 is seemingly ripe for an extreme ASUS makeover, and the Taiwanese manufacturer is hoping to deliver the goods with this; the ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II.

Notice anything particularly different? No? Take a look from the side:

The monster card occupies a full three expansion slots, enabling it to house a larger-than-usual pairing of two 100x20mm fans. The combination should provide a healthy amount of airflow across the five copper heatpipes and aluminium fins within, and ASUS reckons the chunky design is 20 per cent cooler than NVIDIA's reference, whilst producing 25 per cent less noise.

There's a mild factory overclock right out of the box - the GPU is bumped up from 772MHz to 782MHz - but ASUS appears to have designed the card with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Targeting the enthusiast market, the GTX 580 DirectCU II sports two eight-pin power connectors and a 10-phase VRM power design - that's eight for GPU and two for memory.

No mention of price as yet, but we're hearing end of February/early March as a proposed launch date.

Latest Concept of Laptop: iWeb 2.0 by Yang Yongchang

2010-04-23T09:30:00.000-07:00

For all the techies and geeks out there, a new concept of laptop was announced by designer Yang Yongchang, the iWEB 2.0. This concept of laptop is really cool because it has a folding keyboard design which is really BIG. According to the author, the 6.5-inch laptop has multi-point touch and gravity sensing technology and can be equipped with full-size keyboard, if you fold it in thirds.
