Ten Highlights of Mac OS X Lion for Apple Macbook..

As we all know, Apple has developed iOS for the iPhone. Based on the system of Mac OS X, and now it brings the best to the iPad to your Mac with Mac OS X Lion, available in summer 2011.

Highlight 1: Newly Multi Touch Gestures
Multi-Touch gestures make everything you do on iPad easy and intuitive. The latest Mac OS X Lion brings more handy ways to interact with your Mac. Enjoy more fluid and realistic gesture responses, including rubber-band scrolling, page and image zoom, and full-screen swiping. In Mac OS X Lion, every swipe, pinch, and scroll looks and feels more responsive and lifelike.

Highlight 2: Launchpad — A Home for Your Apps
Launchpad gives users instant access to your apps in iPad style. Just click the Launchpad icon in your Dock and then get a full-screen view of all your apps in Launchpad. It takes just a swipe to see multiple pages of apps, and you can arrange them any way you like by dragging icons to different locations or by grouping apps in folders. In fact, it’s just about as fast as keeping an Application folder in your dock, and easier to glance at too. The Launchpad can also be enhanced by adding directories so you can find anything you need in just a few clicks. And when you download an app from the Mac App Store, it automatically appears in Launchpad.

Highlight 3: Full-screen Apps
Another wonderful feature for users is the full-screen app views for Mac OS X Lion. It’s an idea that fits some apps much better than others — iPhoto. In iPhoto, users can see all Events at one time in full-screen view. One click for an app in full screen, tree fingers swipe to switch to another. Again, just like you view your Apps on the iPad or iPhone, Full Screen view of an App really makes it stand out more for great functionality.

Highlight 4: Mission Control
Mission Control is actually a new Expose, integrating the Dock, Dashboard and views from all open apps, both windowed and full screen. With a simple swipe, your desktop zooms out to Mission Control, and you can get to anything you see in Mission Control with just one click.

Highlight 5: Versions
Simply put, this is Time Machine for files. Versions records the evolution of a document as you create it. Mac OS X Lion automatically creates a version of the document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working on it. This way, when you realize you’ve made a mistake along the way, you can most easily slide through the different versions of your work and revert anything you want by copying and pasting it in place.

Highlight 6: Resume
Nothing fancy, but very useful. Whenever you quit and relaunch an app, Resume opens it precisely the way you left it. Everything is persistent — your files, folders and applications are preserved exactly as you left them. So you never have to start from scratch again.

Highlight 7: Mail 5
Just like Mail on iPad, Mail 5 in Mac OS X Lion features a new layout that takes advantage of the widescreen display on your Mac. You’ve got a left column with all your messages and a preview pane on the right — threaded messages are numbered in the new conversation view, which is a dead-simple idea that works really well. Search has also been dramatically improved with easy query-stacking options, and folders can be added to a new bookmark bar-style Mailbox Bar at the top of the screen.

Highlight 8: Mac App Store
Just like shopping the App Store on iPad, the Mac App Store offers endless possibilities for browsing and purchasing apps. Newly purchased apps install in one step and appear right in the new Launchpad. It is the easiest way to install and keep applications up to date.

Highlight 9: Lion Server
Instead of having to buy it separately, Lion Server is now part of Mac OS X Lion, making it more mainstream and available for the masses. Manage users and groups easily. Even monitor performance with graphs.

Highlight 10: AirDrop
One of Lion’s niftiest new features is AirDrop, which allows quick and easy file transfers between WiFi-equipped Macs. Just click the AirDrop icon in the Finder sidebar, and your Mac automatically discovers other people nearby who are using AirDrop. Swapping files is as simple as dragging and confirming. Also, AirDrop doesn’t require setup or special settings.

AT&T New Electronics

On the CTIA 2011, AT&T manufacture has introduced two smartphones to its lineup – LG Thrill 4G and HTC HD7s.

HTC’s HD7S will be coming in the weeks to follow, while the LG Thrill 4G will be released by AT&T in the months to come. Exact dates aren’t given though.

T-Mobile New Electronics

4G LG G2x is powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor with a 1Ghz dual-core CPU running on Android 2.2. The phone boasts a front-facing 1.3 MP camera and 8 MP front and rear facing cameras respectively, with HD 1080p video capture. The G2x could definitely end up being one of our favorite T-Mobile smartphones of the first half of 2011.

Sidekick 4G is an Android 2.2 running smartphone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard and HSPA+ connectivity. It has 3.5″ TFT display, 3MP camera, 5-row QWERTY keyboard, 1GHz processor, front-facing VGA camera and GPS.

Sprint New Electronics

Many excellent tech gadgets on CTIA 2011 were showcased, including whole new HTC EVO 3D and Google Nexus S 4G.

HTC EVO 3D is the first G phone with a QHD 4.3-inch 3D display. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Android 2.3 under the hood and 5MP dual-lens camera for 3D photo and video capture. It also will come with a 4G hotpsot and you can connect up to 5 Wi-Fi-enabled devices to it.

Google Nexus S 4G is the second smartphone that introduced to the Nexus series. It runs Google’s new version of Android OS Gingerbread, and is powered by 1GHz processor. It is not a great leap forward in the same way that the original Nexus was but rather is more like a refreshed version of the Samsung Galaxy S. But the Nexus S 4G takes advantage of Sprint’s high-speed WiMAX 4G data network. Very nice!

All in all, the Sprint’s new electronics are either support 3D technology or carry 4G network. It will be a big hit on CTIA.

Dell 10 inch Windows 7 tablet..

Few months ago we heard rumours that Dell will launch a windows 7 tablet that would be targeted to the corporate world and it would be more or less like the HP slate which was also launch recently. According to the previous rumours this tablet was supposed to launch in the first half of this year but they had not announced about it officially so technically it is not a delay but most people expected it to come in April or in May. 

Now may be this tablet may would now launch in September which would come with Windows 7. Also apart from this the company is expected to launch a Windows 8 tablet too which would have the same hardware. And Windows 8 tablet would come in 2012. Don't think these tablets would be in competition of iPad ,I think they are rather replacements of net books.

HTC Pyramid will launch on April 12 with the name HTC Sensation..

Few days ago we showed you leaked images of HTC Pyramids which looked awesome with both aspects of looks and its specifications. And today a popular technology site Pocket-lonkhas confirmed that on April 12th HTC will launch their latest Android phone and for that they have invited most of the technology blogger in Europe and Pocket-link is one of them.

The phone will be the same that we had shown in the leaked images but HTC would name it HTC Sensation rather then HTC Pyramid. After its launch on 12 of this month it would be available in UK in coming months and soon after that in US too.

Although this phone has been shown many times in the leaked images but still the true picture of the phone is seen when it revealed publicly where the company tell about its specifications and also reveals its special features and services. Currently the rumours suggests that this device will have a 4.3 inch screen with a dual processor and will have latest Android Gingerbread.

Canon and Technicolor to bring movie colour to your DSLR..

Canon and Technicolor have signed a deal that will see the creation of a Technicolor profile created for and be made available to current and future Canon DSLR users.
It means that Canon DSLR users, like those who own the Canon 7D or the newly announced Canon EOS 600D will be able to shoot a movie with their camera and make it look like its been processed by Technicolor, giving it a professional look and feel as if it had been shot for the movies.
“Having shot a theatrical feature using Canon’s EOS DSLR’s (1-D Mark IV, 5D Mark II and the 7D),” states Tom Stern, a professional cinematographer who has worked with the likes of Clint Eastwood. “I am very supportive of Technicolor and Canon working together to develop the ‘CineStyle’ profile.  This can only help to serve greater utility of the EOS DSLR’s in production cinematography.  I applaud this effort.”
“Technicolor has closely followed the adoption of Canon EOS DSLR cameras into the ranks of professional productions,” stated Technicolor’s chief marketing officer, Ahmad Ouri.  “We remain committed to cinematographers as they adopt new tools and techniques, and, based on the requests we’ve received from many of our creative clients, we have worked with Canon to provide a stable path, originating with these cameras and flowing effortlessly into our post pipeline.”
Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, for Canon USA added: “We are excited about Technicolor’s development of their new CineStyle for Canon EOS DSLR cameras, giving post-production professionals image files with much greater latitude  and versatility when colour grading EOS footage.”
And they would be right, last year House used the Season 6 finale shows what DSLR movie-mode can do shooting the final episode on Canon cameras rather than more professional rigs.
More details are expected at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show 2011 in Las Vegas next week.

Microsoft and Toyota to bring Cloud telematics to the car..

Microsoft and Toyota have announced they will partner together to allow Toyota to build a global cloud platform that will update in car telematics in Toyota hybrids and plug-in vehicles, starting in 2012.
“As the car increasingly becomes the ultimate mobile device for consumers, telematics technologies can allow drivers to start their cars remotely, turn on their AC from a cell phone, check systems within the car and much more,” say the companies in a statement.
The two companies aim to help develop and deploy telematics applications on the Windows Azure platform, which includes Windows Azure and Microsoft SQL Azure.

Toyota is already conducting trials in Japan of its Toyota Smart Center pilot program, which plans to link people, automobiles and homes for integrated control of energy consumption. It believes that, as electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles become more popular, such systems will rely more on telematics services for achieving efficient energy management. Microsoft perhaps seeing this trend also, clearly hopes to jump on the next technological wave as it happens.
Toyota’s goal is to establish a complete global cloud platform by 2015 that will provide affordable and advanced telematics services to Toyota automotive customers around the world, it says.

Microsoft launch an update for Office for Mac 2011 next week..

Microsoft will launch an update for Office for Mac 2011 next week the company has confirmed.
The new SP1 update will provide increased stability, security, and some new features to the suite – including improved Outlook syncing support – as well as some performance enhancements.
The new update will also finally allow Mac users to sync their Outlook calendar as well as contacts, notes and tasks with any service or device that supports Sync Services, including your iPhone and iPad.

Microsoft say this has been one of our top feature requests. The update will also enable calendar syncing between Outlook for Mac and Apple’s Sync Services.
However MobileMe will no longer sync with MacOS Sync Services as of May 5th. As a result, Outlook 2011 SP1 calendars that sync with Sync Services on the Mac, will NOT be synced with MobileMe calendars.
So what does this mean? If you sync your iPhone or iPad calendars with Sync Services (ie via iTunes over a cable), your mobile device calendars WILL be synced with Outlook 2011 SP1. If you sync your iPhone or iPad calendars with MobileMe, they will NOT be synced to your Outlook 2011 SP1 calendar, because of the broken link between MobileMe and Sync Services. Hopefully Apple’s changes will not impact very many of you.
