HTC 7 Mozart smartphone

HTC Mozart 7 or commonly known as the HTC Mozart is a smart phone that runs through Windows 7  Operating System. It was already out in the market since October 7, 2011.It was another phone released by the HTC  Corporation. And a short overview on it, this was the only HTC Windows phone with a Qualcomm S2 generation chipset. Now, I’m starting to get its advantage than the other phone released.

It has a class 32 GPRS and a 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. It also has 8 GB internal storage. An 8 MP camera with 3264×2448 pixels and 720 p video are also part of its specification. It can last up to 360 hours standby time.

HTC Mozart 7 was a full touch phone designed to reach up the needs of its users. All products were made for the benefit of its users and to have a better product for a more convenient usage for its users.Peoples need and want are the inspiration of each cell phone companies in making highly developed phones. and this unit is one of the great example of it.

With 119 x 60.2 x 11.9 mm as its diameter, this unit was considered to be the smallest handset ever been released. Indeed, it must be judged for the first look of the customer but then with its features and specifications, everyone will all be mistaken on how they have judged it.

It has its own identity that can make it stand out to the other phones. Well then, I can’t deny the fact that not everybody will love to have it and deciding to have this unit will never be a mistake.

Indeed, it was another great development in the touch technology phones that were released. Let’s just try to patronize it to prove its efficiency.

TellMe Voice Vs. Siri

Voice command technology is one of the latest features that caught the attention of smartphone users around the world. With the introduction of Siri on iPhone 4S which captured a huge following because of its efficiency although it is being released on just a beta form.

Microsoft on the other hand had claimed earlier that they had pioneered the voice command technology and they were ahead with one year since the inception of Apple’s Siri.

There were lots of speculation on how Windows Phone was able to pair with the Siri technology from Apple.

In order for us to have a clear understanding on how these two voice command technology paired with each other we have searched around find something from the internet a reported demonstration on how this two technology giants had paired with each other.

In a video demonstration from www.techau.tv, they have shown on how the two gadgets responded to the voice commands. It is clear that Microsoft needs a lots of hard work to be able to compete with the advancement which had already been enjoyed by Apple’s iPhone 4S which is Siri-enabled phone.

Windows Phone 7 Voice Assistant

In a recent interview conducted by Forbes with Microsoft’s chief strategy officer, Craig Mundie, Microsoft had claimed that they had a Siri-like technology on Windows Phone for over a year after Apple introduced the highly popular Siri.

The voice control technology was already there at the Windows Phone since its inception and one year ahead of Apple’s Siri.

The interview was conducted by Eric Savitz during the Techonomy conference held at Tucscon.

Apple had unveiled earlier the highly anticipated additions to the already growing number of innovations brought about by Apple in Technology. Siri is a product of more than 40 years of artificial intelligence research and the US CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes) Program.

Microsoft claimed that they had already produced a produced a product similar to Siri. Craig Mundie was quoted as saying that, “People are infatuated with Apple announcing it. It’s good marketing, but at least as the technological capability you could argue that Microsoft has had similar capability in Windows Phone for more than a year, since Windows Phone 7 was introduced.” Mundie stated.

The only problem with the voice commands that was introduced by Microsoft was inability to produce good results as what the Apple acquired Siri technology have already mastered. Siri’s abilities were not only limited to voice commands  but it understands normal everyday language.

Microsoft may have introduced it first but Apple as usual made it famous and almost perfect to communicate with the phone which is used not only to communicate with phone but with the unit itself.

Nokia N9

As touch technology continues to rise up in the market as of this moment,  Nokia N9 was released. It was a smart phone based on the MeeGo OS made by Nokia.

It was announced last August 2011 and then expected to be available in the market by September 2011. It was also known as Nokia N9-00 or Nokia N9 Lankku.

It was a highly develop full touch phone which offers the best features for its users.  One of which is its easier touch screen. Unlike others phones that was released before, when you swipe its screen you would give an effortless touch. This is how the Nokia Company wants its users to be in the better way of using it. In other words compare to others, it is easier to use.

In addition, it also has a several Home views. The customer can view it in Open Application view or a familiar application view that can enable you to jump in one application to another in a simpler way. It has an all-screen design which is bold.

It has an 8 MP camera with dual LED flash which can take photos into a nice shot. It also offers a Free GPS navigation which can give you maps that is better than the others. And of course, the last but indeed not the least is its next generation browser which offers an effortless and a fast access to the internet.

This can last up to 11 hours talk time and up to 380 hours standby. Available colors are Cyan, Magenta, Glossy White and Black.

With this newly released phone I come up to the realization that each cell phone companies don’t stop on developing their gadgets to give the users the best gadget that they all deserve. Technology doesn’t stop on giving the best gadget to everybody.

People behind all of these developments deserve to be congratulated.  Indeed, it was another job well done!

Internet Explorer 8

Internet greatly helps everybody in having the best information on a certain issue or topic in a best and fastest possible way. Well then, due to that fact, internet browsers are giving their best services to the people so that it will be patronized and somehow be used than the other.

Those internet browsers can be Firefox, Google Chrome and of course the Internet Explorer. We all know that above the three browsers Internet Explorer already had lots of experiences and customers. Due to that fact they are all bothered to what the Internet Explorer is experiencing as of now.

Actually Internet Explorer falls below 50% in the browser market share. It was according to the Net Market Share. While it goes, Firefox continues to grow with 21.20% together with Google Chrome with 16.59% of the browser market share. I think it’s a big problem to them since they are considered to be the browser king for 10 years. And this happening can be considered as one of their major crisis.

I think those people behind the Internet Explorer lacks in the maintenance and development of this browser. And to be honest as students who always browse the internet to have the latest development on technology, I will prefer to deal with Google Chrome or even the Firefox because I can access in the internet faster. I can get the information I needed in a shortest possible time.

But then above all I think Internet Explorer can still solve this problem. With their hand in hand work and continuous support and help of every member, this will be solved.

They already did it for almost 10 years, and I guess they can still sustain their slot. But then they must also consider the fact that people wants to access the internet in a shortest possible time. So then, this would be a great challenge for them.

If they can still hold up there slot being the browser king will be dependent on them. Let’s just see and wait if what will happen soon.

With the growing numbers of users  who used Facebook on a daily basis it is a challenging tasks for the company to tracks its users.

In an interview with some of the employees of Facebook which was conducted by USA Today’s Byron Acohido he had somewhat discovered the secrets of Facebook in user-tracking.

Byron Acohido interviewed Facebook engineering director, Arturo Bejar, Facebook spokesman Andrew Noves, Facebook corporate spokesman Barry Schnitt and Facebook engineering manager Gregg Stefancik.

Facebook have been accused of some individuals or group of individuals who had complaint regarding the privacy issue of the social network and its ability to maintain their reliability in terms of storing important information. There were numerous cases already that proved the reliability of those complaints.
