iphone 4

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The iPhone 4 will come in two colors and two models – the 16GB that will sell for $199 and the 32 GB, selling for $299. Both models require a two-year AT&T contract to get those prices.

Last year’s model upgrade, the iPhone 3GS, will sell for $99 starting June 24, the same day Apple begins selling the new iPhone 4.

The biggest change with the iPhone 4 is FaceTime, offering real-time video calling anywhere there is wi-fi, with no setup required. However, the person you are calling will also need an iPhone 4 for the service to work.

The wi-fi requirement also limits its use. The cellular networks currently don’t support the technology, though Jobs said the company is currently talking with cellular providers to offer the feature.

In way of demonstration, Jobs picked up his iPhone 4 prototype and made a FaceTime call to another Apple executive.

The iPhone4 will also record HD video at full screen, 720 pixels at 30 frames per second. It also has built-in video editing, so that you can produce a movie, right on the phone.

Apple has also upgraded the iPhone’s camera system. The iPhone 4 features a five megapixel camera and a sensor to detect backlighting. It comes with 5X digital zoom, tap to focus, and LED flash.

O2 XDA Zinc is a 3G Windows Mobile

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

The 2.0 mega pixel camera produces print worthy snaps and came out with the best results that we have seen from a windows Mobile device.

The keypad lacks tactile feel to it. Pressing a key once results in multiple key strokes.
The onboard speaker is barely audible and you might need to use a hearing aid to listen to what’s playing.
A battery that ‘never says die’ the XDA Zinc is O2’s first touch screen device with a sliding QWERTY keypad.
The phone’s performance is below that expected from one of the fastest processor in Windows Mobile devices – the Intel PXA 270 running at 520 MHz. It hung often. We charged with it with the USB port of our laptop for 30 minutes everyday and that kept it running for the entire day.

If 3G is not a priority, we would suggest the Do pod C800 which is sleeker. Another option is the I-mate Jas Jam with its jog dial functionality apart from the sliding QWERTY keypad.

My new ipod nano with video camera

Friday, April 30th, 2010

When Apple introduced the 4th generation of the IPod Nano it announced exciting new features and a return of an old favourite.

The latest Nano 4G left the shorter , wider chunkier looks of the 3G behind and made a return to the taller, slimmer version of earlier models in the IPod Nano family. However this Apple IPod is not just slim, but, manages to be the slimmest IPod that Apple has ever produced, but, do not think taller and slimmer means less screen size because the 4G matches the much shorter, wider “ fat” 3G Nano IPod in the screen size department. Apple has changed the orientation from the horizontal layout of earlier versions to a vertical orientation for this IPod, so as not lose size.

By adding an accelerometer to their IPod Nano, Apple have made it possible to view video content (which favours a widescreen format) and landscape photographs horizontally, simply by rotating your Nano by 90 degrees.

Proving that the old adage of less being more to be perfectly correct because the two versions of this IPod Nano can hold double the capacity of the earlier 3G versions. That amounts to 2000 songs in the 8G version and an astounding 4000 in its large, 16G sibling or if you are a photograph junkie, then 8,000 or 16,000 pictures, respectively.

Apple have expanded the colour options of this IPod Nano with the addition of pink, orange, yellow and purple (3G Nano offered black, blue, silver, red and green), and not just more colours, but, the colours are more vibrant and should contain, practically everyone’s favourite colour.

Another exciting feature of the new Apple IPod Nano is shake to shuffle, which requires users to shake their Nano vigorously to cause the shuffle mode to activate, which causes your Nano to randomly select music from your library.

With new features that include the Spoken Word (enabled through iTunes), which allows visually impaired users the opportunity to have text (such as artists name or song title) converted into speech, thus, dispensing with the need to see the IPod screen, and the Genius feature, which organises a playlist of suitably like minded songs, by comparing the song you are currently listening to and comparing it with similar songs within your Nano IPod.

concept of mobile broadband

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Recently, the concept of mobile broadband was taken ahead by the innovation of the mobile Wi-Fi modems. It is otherwise known as MiFi modem. It is a combination of mobile broadband and Wi-Fi technology. A typical mobile broadband modem provides internet access to one computer at a time, while the MiFi device can provide access to multiple devices like laptops, I-phone, Smart phone, I-pad, I-pod, etc, at the same time. The device receives the broadband signal using a SIM card and transmits them using wireless 802.11b/g standards. Any device enabled with a wireless card internally or externally can gain access to the device. The device is powered using a rechargeable lithium battery which holds good for 5 hours of internet browsing. Since there isn’t any wire connected to the device at all, it’s completely independent and can be used from anywhere. The devices can be charged either using a USB power adapter or can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

The plan of upgrading the mobile networks to the 4G standards can definitely make mobile broadband powerful as the coverage and speed provided will be extremely higher than the current 2G and 3G standards. Analysts say that the minimum speed offered will be 100Mbps and the maximum can reach up to 1Gbps. Also enabling wireless 802.11n network access in the MiFi modems will allow file sharing between the devices connected in the network. Future MiFi modem which can access 4G networks and provide wireless 802.11b/g/n access will serve as a perfect home networking device.
