iPhone rumors

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:11:06 PDT

It’s expected that the Apple will release the 3.0 software at the World Wide Developers Conference on June 8th (no Jobs, but Phil Schiller will be doing the keynote). Having a few friends and colleagues who have started developing for the iPhone — I’ve actually got to play with the beta a bit. I must say, as nice as cut and paste is, the search is my favorite new feature. Being able to search through emails, contacts and anything else on my phone is way nice (and one of the main features I missed when I first got the phone last year).

The real question http://hp-keren.blogspot.com/ is — will new hardware be announced at the same time? Some of the big rumors surrounding video recording (that it will only work on new hardware) point to it coming soon — and has sparked a flurry of rumors to go with it.read more

Where Next for Nokia Nseries

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:13:38 PDT

The Nseries range is starting to look a bit tired, truth be told. There are many areas where Nokia are going to have to make improvements if Nseries can still be considered top of the class when it comes to multimedia, otherwise they risk falling far behind the competition and becoming just also rans. First thing that needs to be addressed is the camera. For a long time now, the standard camera on an Nseries device is 5.0 megapixel with autofocus, and Carl Zeiss optics. Which, in itself, is ok I guess. But other manufacturers are offering so much more; why no face detection, smile detection, blink detection? No image stabilisation? Why not something like Best Pic which Sony Ericsson have been offering on their Cybershot phones for years! With other devices offering cameras with so much more in terms of features, the camera on NSeries is starting to look a bit tired in comparison.

LG KS-20 smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:37:05 PDT

Nowadays, whenever any cellphone maker other than Apple, is getting ready with a new cell phone that comes with iPhone-like or better features will be considered as a iPhone challenger. Whether you like it or not, the LG KS-20 smartphone is deemed as LG’s new effort to challenge the iPhone, after LG’s few previous attempts such as the LG Prada etc. The LG KS-20 has a very clean and uncluttered candybar design, which makes it look like a luxurious baby. The front panel comes with only three buttons, for main calling functions only. As the LG KS-20 smartphone is equipped with a 2.8 inch touchscreen, which is the basic need to be qualified as an iPhone challenger. Besides, it has a stylus for the touchscreen. The phone comes loaded with Windows Mobile 6 OS, which is clear an attempt aiming those business class who prefer a smartphone with the Windows Mobile environment. The KS-20 is also equipped with wireless connectivities such as WLAN, which is quite common in almost every smartphone these days. And of course, high-speed Internet connectivity that rides on the HSDPA. The phone also supports Bluetooth 2.0 and the memory expansion can be via the microSD card slot. The camera of this guy is definitely much behind with today’s high-end cellphones from other makers. The phone has a 2-megapixel camera only. Other than the LED flash that comes with the camera, the megapixels that it carries is simply disappointing to many of us. Overall the features seem to be qualified as a iPhone challenger except the camera.

Smartphone as a fashion product

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 23:05:01 PDT

The cell phone has also become a fashion product lately with which you want to show off. Or as Paul Wilkens, Sales & Marketing director of the telecom department of Samsung Electronics Benelux, nicely put it into words during an introduction in London recently: "The consumer that takes his cell phone from his inside pocket and places it next to his cappuccino, is making a statement about himself." This trend has obviously added to the appearance and design of today's smartphones as they look better and more modern nowadays.

Smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:16:23 PDT

Cell phones are offering more functionalities every day. A growing crowd seems to consider calling less important than being able to use email, Internet, digital camera and navigation possibilities. The consumer seems mature enough now for the smartphone, or the multimedia computer as Nokia likes to refer to it, and for a good reason. The Nokia Communicator, the mother of all smartphones has had some transformation during the eleven years of its existence. The device was already years ahead to start with. Still it remained a device tailored to the needs of the business user. Moreover; the first devices were rather heavy as far as weight was concerned and they were not the cheapest ones you could lay your hands on.• Read our full report about

Communicating with Telephone Conference Calls

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:01:32 PDT

IBM offers an optional telephone Meeting Room service that integrates telephone capabilities into a meeting. If this service is available to you and you choose this option when you create a scheduled meeting, a telephone conference call is automatically associated with the meeting. This allows all meeting participants to use the telephone conference call to communicate and for meeting chairs to manage the teleconference.

Note Even users who have not joined the meeting can participate in the telephone conference call if they have the conference call number and passcode.

You should be familiar with the following information before you add a telephone conference call to your scheduled meeting:

If you want to use the telephone conference call service for a meeting and this service is available to you, you will provide any needed information related to the call when you create the meeting. See Essentials: What You Must Do for more information.
A telephone number for the call is automatically assigned when you create the meeting.
The call is actually created using a third-party service provider. The third party provider will supply you with a Client ID, password, and passcode for teleconferences.
To attend a call, click "Join the Call" on the meeting Welcome page and then select the telephone number you want to be called at; the telephone service will call you. During an active meeting, you can see information about the call by clicking Meeting Information in the toolbar, or by viewing the meeting details for the meeting.

Things to be aware of

Review the following information regarding using the telephone conference call service with meeting.

Using the User PIN security feature

Some telephone service providers off a security feature which requires invited participants to enter a User PIN number before joining the telephone conference call. If your service providers offers it, you can use this feature when you create a meeting with the telephone conference service option that restricts the meeting to specific participants. When you save the meeting you created, IBM(R) Lotus(R) Sametime(R) automatically requests a User PIN from the telephone conference service for each participant. During a meeting, click Meeting Information in the toolbar to see this number.

Using the telephone conference call service with repeated Meetings

Note the following characteristics of repeated meetings that use a telephone conference call service.

When a repeating meeting is scheduled with the telephone conference call service, the same telephone number, passcode, and other telephone conference call-related information apply to all instances of the repeated meeting.
If a meeting using the telephone conference call service is scheduled for a single occurrence, you cannot convert it into a repeated meeting.

Using the telephone conference call services with recorded meetings

A meeting that is marked for recording for later playback will not include the telephone audio portion of the telephone conference call in the Recorded data.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Review

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:28:12 PST

to review it. It is one of the most stylish smartphones and ushers in a new era of supersleek and stylish smartphones. When it was announced, it was undoubtedly the most powerful smartphone there was, but then many competitors came out with equally powerful offerings. Despite the delay in the final launch of the Xperia X1, it is a superb product which competes with the likes of the Apple iPhone, the HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch HD etc. It is almost identical to the HTC Touch Pro with slightly less better hardware specs. It is one of the few Windows Mobile phones which But it is much more stylish and good looking. It is any geek’s dream and has become quite popular in a short period of time. Nokia has announced the new Nokia N97 primarily to compete with the Xperia X1. In this review, we check out the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and try to see what makes it click. Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Specs: Dimensions: 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm Weight: 145 gms Display: 3.0 inch TFT touchscreen, 65K colors, 800 x 480 pixels Memory: 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM Processor: Qualcomm MSM7200 528 MHz Processor Connectivity: GPRS Class 10, EDGE, 3G HSDPA, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, USB v2.0 WLAN: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g OS: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Camera: 3.15 MP Camera, 2048 x 1536 pixels with autofocus, flash, Video recording VGA at 30 FPS, Secondary videocall camera Battery: Standard Li-Po battery, 1500 mAh (BST-41), 10 hrs rated talktime Other Features: Built in GPS with A-GPS, Java MIDP 2.0, FM Radio with RDS, 3.5 mm audio jack, Pocket Office, Opera 9.5 Mobile Design and Build Quality: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is one of the best looking Windows Mobile phones ever. It sports a very stylish design and has superb build quality. The slider action is very smooth. It has dimensions of about 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm and weighs just about 145 gms, which is relatively more compared to other phones, but if you consider the features it offers, the weight is well within limits. It is composed mostly of metal and plastic and feels very sturdy and portable. The front face is occupied mostly by the 3 inch TFT touchscreen display with the standard control keys and a D Pad in a stylish X just below it. On the top of the display, you find the earpiece, the ambient light sensor and the secondary videocall camera. The Xperia X1 has a arc slider design to accomodate the QWERTY keypad. The slider action is very smooth. On the right you find the volume rocker and the camera shutter key. On the left, you find the Mini USB port. On the top of the phone, you find the power button, the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the stylus slot. On the back of the phone, the 3.15 MP camera is located on the top with the Flash and below it is the battery cover which houses the huge battery. Display: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 sports a huge 3.0 inch TFT touchscreen supporting 65K colors and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The display quality is superb and the brightness and contrast levels are also great. The high resolution makes it a treat to watch movies and videos on the Xperia X1. It is one of the biggest displays in high end Windows Mobile phones after the HTC Touch HD. It supports 65k colors just like other Windows Mobile phones. It has decent sunlight legibility. Interface and OS: The Xperia X1 is powered by the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS. While it has all the power this wonderful OS offers, the Xperia X1 has a different layered UI powered by Panels. You can use any of the many available panels to customise your UI. While it is great, I would still prefer HTC’s TouchFLO 3D UI over it. You can download new Panels from the official Sony Ericsson website. It has the standard WM image gallery as well as the Media Xperience Panel.

Multimedia and Camera:

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has nice multimedia capabilities which you dont usually expect from Windows Mobile phones. The sound quality is simply awesome though the speakers don’t have much volume. The frequency response and other attributes are almost perfect. Though if you are a serious music enthusiast, you shouldn’t rely on the speakers much, just use your own standard earbuds / headphones. The Media Xperience interface is really cool. You can also use the default Windows Media player. It supports most major codecs like DivX and XviD natively. The video playback is smooth even at higher FPS videos with very minimal skipping of frames. Overall in the multimedia segment, it plainly kicks ass of all other Windows Mobile phones.

The Xperia X1 sports a 3.15 MP Camera which can shoot images at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. It comes with autofocus and flash as well. It does video recording at a VGA resolution at 30 FPS which is very sweet. The camera image quality is decent, just what you would expect from a 3.15 MP standard camera. The camera interface is nice and easy to use and offers a variety of customisable options and modes. It should suffice for some casual photography.

Other Features:

The Xperia X1 features a host of connectivity options like GPRS Class 10, EDGE, 3G HSDPA, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, USB v2.0. It also has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g with nice reception and good speeds. The call reception quality is very good. It supports expandable memory by way of Micro SD cards. It comes bundled with the new Opera 9.5 Mobile and Quick Office. You can install any of the scores of Windows Mobile applications available on the internet. The huge display is a great asset to the document reading and web browsing capabilities of the Xperia X1. The Xperia X1 is powered by a powerful 1500 mAh Li Po battery which has a rated standby time of around 800 hrs and a talktime of 10 hrs. It should easily last 2 days with moderate usage.

Pros:

Superb Design
Awesome Display
Great Sound Quality and Video playback

Cons:

No Accelerometer
Average Camera

Final Words:

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is one of the best Windows Mobile phones available currently. The HTC Touch HD and the Touch Pro are its closest competitors with almost similar features especially the Touch Pro.

Our Rating: 4 / 5.

Nokia Announces

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:59:58 PDT

At the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona in Spain, Nokia has announced the beta version of Nokia Maps 2.0 -- among other announcements. Nokia claims Maps 2.0 takes mapping and navigation to the next level by enhancing pedestrian navigation, adding multimedia city guides, offering satellite images, and sporting a redesigned user interface (UI). Significantly, Maps 2.0 introduces Walk -- a pedestrian focused navigation component to the Maps application -- while still offering Drive, the car navigation system. Nokia claims Walk can literally walk you from point A to point B with the help of visual turn-by-turn instructions. It helps users locate themselves by giving information about their surroundings. In newer handsets like the 6210 Navigator, it uses the handset's built-in compass to point in the direction the person is walking. Maps 2.0 also adds the option to purchase multimedia guides featuring photos, videos, and audio streams. Speaking on the occasion, Michael Halbherr, vice president (Location based services) of Nokia, said, "By taking navigation services out of the car and onto the sidewalk, Nokia is enabling people to explore and discover what's around them with the confidence of a local." In Maps 2.0, users can either upgrade to the GPS navigation option or if their Nokia device doesn't have built-in GPS, they can use an external GPS module with a compatible device. Nokia said Maps 2.0 will have for an optional fee, real-time traffic feeds with dynamic

Sony Ericsson W600i

noreply@blogger.com (Faris vio) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:55:15 PDT

The good: Attractive swivel design; quality performance; MP3 player with FM radio; Bluetooth and infrared port; speakerphone; 1.3-megapixel camera; world phone; 3D gaming.

The bad: Poorly designed keypad; ill-placed headset jack; users can't listen to music through Bluetooth headphones; no memory card slot; music-transfer software somewhat glitchy.

The bottom line: Although we bemoan the lack of an expandable memory slot, the Sony Ericsson W600i is a remarkable and user-friendly MP3 cell phone.

Specifications: Carrier: Cingular; Band / mode: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband); Talk time: Up to 510 min; See full specs

BenQ-Siemens geht in die Design-Offensive - und wie! Mit dem E71 kommt ein wirklich schön gestyltes und innovatives Handy auf den Markt, das als erstes Modell überhaupt mit einer Antihaft-Oberfläche ausgestattet ist. Die übrigen Features runden den sehr guten Gesamteindruck ab: 1,3 Megapixelkamera, MP3-Player, Radio und Speicherkartenerweiterung lassen kaum Wünsche offen. Das BenQ-Siemens E71 erscheint wie mit flüssigem Metall übergossen. Die innovative Haftbeschichtung wird es nur in der “Dark Silver”-Edition geben - mit ihr sollen so gut wie keine Spuren, wie etwa Fingerabdrücke, auf dem schicken Neuling verbleiben. Klar, wenn man so ein edles Handy sein eigen nennt, soll es ja auch hübsch sauber bleiben. Klein aber fein Werfen wir einen Blick auf die äußeren Werte. Das BenQ-Siemens E71 ist mit Maßen von 104 x 46 x 15 mm und einem Gewicht von 80g sehr kompakt und vor allem flach. Das TFT-Display fällt mit einer Auflösung von 240 x 320 Pixeln angenehm groß aus und kann bis zu 256.000 Farben darstellen. Für lange Gesprächszeiten (bis zu 6 Stunden verspricht BenQ-Siemens) sorgt der Akku und bietet zudem maximal 16 Tage Stand-By. Funken kann der Neuling in drei Netzen, ist also ein Triband-Handy. Soweit verfügbar, können Daten mit dem GPRS-Turbo EDGE übertragen werden. Multimedia, ich komme! Auch die inneren Werte des BenQ-Siemens E71 können sich sehen lassen. Mit der 1,3 Megapixelkamera lassen sich ganz ordentliche Schnappschüsse erstellen, der 5-fache Digitalzoom hilft beim Finden des Objekts. Für musikalische Unterhaltung sorgen der MP3-Player und das Radio. Der interne Speicher beträgt 16 MB, lässt sich aber problemlos mit MicroSD-Karten aufrüsten. Natürlich wurde auch an die übliche Organizerausstattung gedacht. Nicht nur für Ästheten Das BenQ-Siemens E71 ist ein Schönling, der nicht nur eine große Klappe, sondern auch was dahinter hat. Zudem lässt er sich dank Antihaft-Oberfläche auch gerne anfassen! Ein wirklich schmuckes Stück, das von Benq-Siemens angeboten wird! Zum Datenblatt des Benq-Siemens E71.
