Samsung Galaxy Note Announced..

Along with the Galaxy Tab 7.7, Samsung also unveiled a new phone…err…tablet…umm…something in between, the Galaxy Note.  Samsung calls the Galaxy Note a handset, and this device comes with a gigantic 5.3-inch display! The 5.3-inch Super-AMOLED display has a disappointingly low WVGA (480×800) resolution. With a 5.3-inch display, the Note successfully manages to blur the line between a handset and a tablet.

The Note is powered by a 1.4GHz dual core processor (Exynos SoC), and packs 1GB of RAM. The handset is also pretty thin and light at just 9.65m thick, and weighing in at 178 grams. The usual Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS, HSPA+, microSD card slot, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack and a bunch of sensors are all present. Being called a ‘handset’ by Sammy, the Note runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0 on top of it. The back of the device sports an 8MP camera with an LED flash, and a 2MP camera resides in the front of the phone. A beefy 2500mAh battery powers the Galaxy Note. 

The highlight of the Note is the S-Pen, which comes with the Note. This pressure sensitive stylus will help Note users to easily take down notes on their handset. Samsung will also release the S-Pen SDK to developers, to that more applications can make use of this feature. With the Galaxy Note, Sammy is trying to open a new segment, residing between the handsets and tablets market. The Note will be ideal for businessmen’s and college going students, for taking down quick notes. While some people may like the Note, I highly doubt it’s going to be a major success. Nonetheless, it is still nice to see Sammy innovating, instead of just releasing run-of-the-mill Android handsets and tablets.

Top 5 gadgets you can expect to see at IFA..!!

It’s been a fairly quiet few weeks leading up to the start of September, but most of this is because of IFA, one of the biggest international trade shows for gadgets and tech. We’ve already seen a few announcements from some of the biggest manufacturers, but what else can you expect over the next few days? Join us after the break to find out.

Trade shows are the most exciting few days for new launches and the latest gadgets, and IFA is no different. Expect to see some of the most innovative products launched, along with gadgets that were leaked months ago. We’ve listed some of the top tech below.

Sony S1 and Sony S2 Out of all the tablets that we’re excited about seeing, the Sony S1 and S2 sit at the top of the list. With a choice of stand-out design or innovative dual-screen layout, the S1 and S2 tablets split opinion like no other, but they definitely look interesting. Sony has yet to reveal the full specs, however, and hopefully it will do at IFA this year.

Mango Windows Phone smartphones We’ve been waiting for the latest Mango Windows Phone handsets all year, and IFA is hopefully the location and time that we’ll see the first devices. Expect to see handsets from HTC, Samsung, LG and perhaps even more manufacturers.

HTC Puccini The HTC Puccini was rumoured ages ago, with details of the device first leaking out back in May. It seems like now is the time for the 10-inch tablet to be announced, however, and you can expect it to sport Android Honeycomb and a 1.5GHz processor.

Ultrabooks Although Samsung and Google are hoping that the slimline and cheap Chromebook is the future for laptops, Intel and manufacturers like Acer are pinning their hopes on the Ultrabook design, with higher quality materials and fast components that rival the Apple MacBook Air. Either way, we’re in for a treat, with loads of great products making their way to the marketplace.

Samsung Galaxy Q The Samsung Galaxy Q is another device that’s rumoured for release at IFA this year, and it’s set to fill the hole left by the Dell Streak 5. We’re not entirely sure there’s the need for another 5-inch tablet/smartphone, but it seems that Samsung feels differently. Oh well, if it’s anything like the existing Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S models, at least we know it’ll be a cracker!

Runner Creates 21KM Long Apple Logo As A Tribute To Steve Jobs..

Last week we heard that Steve Jobs was stepping down as Apple’s CEO, marathon runner Joseph Tame has created a cool tribute to Steve Jobs, a 21KM long Apple logo created using GPS and 2 iPhones.

The photo below shows the 21KM route that Joseph ran to create the Apple Logo, and he used an app called Runkeeper to track his progress whilst he was running through central Tokyo.

It’s for this that I’d like to personally show my appreciation to Steve for his vision and leadership, which has made a direct positive impact upon my life. His work has also served to revolutionise the mobile phone industry, something that was desperately needed here more than anywhere. I’d like to wish Steve all the best, and hope that his health improves fast now he’s able to focus more on getting well again.

You can find out more information about Joseph’s cool 21KM long Apple logo over at his website ,Joseph Tame.

Samsung leaks Nexus Prime handset itself..

It looks like Samsung itself has gone and confirmed it is going to be behind the long rumoured inbound Nexus Prime handset. Samsung has worked on the Nexus line before, as they built the Google Nexus S, so their involvement shouldn't come as any great surprise. The new phone was mentioned in a cease and desist letter sent out to those who allegedly managed to get their hands on firmware relating to the as-yet unreleased handset.

Website Geek.com posted an image of the letter that contained the Nexus Prime mention. It appears to confirm, via Samsung's own legal team, that it is behind the new Google handset. Just a tad ironic that Samsung would go and confirm a rumour whilst trying to squash it. So has Samsung finally put an end to rumours surrounding the Nexus Prime? Most definitely not, now we know it exists, it is time to start speculating on pricing and release dates. 

Traditionally Nexus handsets fly the specs flag for any major new Android update. This means Ice Cream Sandwich and the possibility of either Samsung's own processor or something exciting from Nvidia. Either way it will likely be dual-core, but there is of course the possibility of quad-core, particularly the Kal-El we've been hearing about. Exciting times in the Google camp, particularly with Samsung in the driving seat for the next Nexus release. Given the strengths of the Galaxy SII, expect something pretty sweet indeed.

Excited about the Nexus Prime?

Nokia 701 RM-744 images spotted..

What you see could be the real deal or a fake, we still cannot confirm it just yet. Still, they’re rumored to be the upcoming Nokia 701, also known by its model number RM-744 if you prefer to take that route. According to the person who leaked this image, this particular model hails from ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações), where the mole claims that this agency is similar to the FCC that will see all new phones that are meant to arrive at the market go through Anatel’s inspection and authorization process.

Apple planning karaoke on the iPhone..

We never really expected to be using the words Apple and karaoke in the same sentence but the uber cool company appears it could be making a dive into the world of the sing along.

Diagrams contained within a recent patent application reveal how Apple could be planning to use the iPhone and iPod Touch to help teach people to sing. The technology will act a bit like auto tune, bringing any musical mistakes into the correct pitch.?

Singing will be analysed by the handset and advice offered as to how you could bring things back into pitch. Mistakes made will be?exaggerated by the handset whereas on pitch singing rewarded with a concert hall effect. Think of it like the way Rock Band boosts decent solos when you play them well.? Even better, bad singing can be fuzzed by the system to hide mistakes when put through speakers. ?

No news as of yet as to whether the new karaoke setup will be implemented in Garageband, but given the patent is intended for the iPod and iPhone, it could be we see the currently iPad 2 only editing software headed to other Apple portables.

iTunes currently has its own karaoke section with tracks by bands like MC Hammer included. Apple is unfortunately yet to comment on whether or not we will be able to nail 'hammertime' in tune thanks to its new karaoke tech. Either way, expect plenty more people to disturbing bus journeys home with auto tuned singing once it launches.

Nokia Sea Ray Windows Phone handset "leaked"..

It’s only been a couple of days since the launch of the MeeGo-based Nokia N9, but although Nokia’s new baby has been receiving favourable reviews, the company has just let slip its first Windows Phone handset – codenamed Sea Ray.

In a bizarre presentation, Stephen Elop asked those present to turn off their recording devices, but almost inviting them to do the opposite as he pointed out that he’d be showing them something “super confidential” and something “that we do not want to see out in the blogosphere”.

Oddly enough, Elop didn’t seem to notice that people continued recording his presentation – with some devices evidently held aloft to capture the presentation in full.

Elop then went on to show off the new so called ‘Sea Ray’ phone – a handset that looks incredibly similar to the Nokia N9, albeit with a new extra button on the side, but running the Windows Phone OS.

To leak Sea Ray so soon after the Nokia N9’s launch definitely seems to kill off Nokia’s newly launched handset, and seems like a bit of a bizarre PR stunt.

Either way, we think that the official launch of the first Nokia Windows Phone handset can’t come soon enough

Rumour : Nokia N9 will not be coming to India..

Though the news is still unconfirmed, there is a possibility that the MeeGo - based Nokia N9 will not be arriving in India at all. Many consider the fate of the N9 already sealed, and the general consensus is that it will be the first and last MeeGo device from Espoo’s stables. Unfortunate yes, but we hope for the sake of the developers, as well as for consumer choice, the platform will find adoption amongst other manufacturers. Things look a bit bleak however.

Keeping all this in mind, it is hardly surprising that the industry expects Nokia to limit the sale of the N9 to select countries. Other reports, by the usually well-informed Eldar Murtazin, predict that Nokia will be making comparatively few units of the N9, less than 100,000.

But, while India is not on the list of 23 territories, we are unreasonably hopeful that Nokia will make some more, and bring a limited quantity here, if the device sees some healthy demand in other countries.

LG’s Optimus 3D officially launched..

The long wait is finally over! Joining the likes of HTC EVO 3D and Sharp SH-12C is LG’s very own Optimus 3D aka Thrill 4G for AT&T, which we first got our hands on back in February and again in March. The specs for this Android 2.2 device (yeah, we know) have remained untouched since we last checked: here we have a 4.3-inch glasses-less 3D LCD with 800 x 480 resolution, a 1GHz dual core TI OMAP4430 processor, 512MB of speedy dual channel RAM, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and a couple of 5 megapixel cameras on the back that can capture 3D 1080p video at 24fps, or 3D 720p at 30fps. Other tidbits include 14.4Mbps HSPA+ connection, an HDMI-out port, and a removable 1500mAh battery, all inside a 5.93 ounce package. Alas, no date’s been mentioned for the phone’s US launch, but the lucky Europeans will get to pick up this phone first, followed by the rest of the world “over the next several weeks..

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo to hit the shops in the next few weeks..

Sitting in the middle of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia range, and offering a slightly smaller screen than the range-topping models, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has a lot to offer. It has loads of decent features, and is set to hit the shops in the next couple of weeks.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has been somewhat overshadowed of late, with its siblings – the Xperia Play and the Xperia Arc – taking the limelight.

Despite the relative lack of publicity, we particularly like the look of the Xperia Neo’s screen, which measures in at 3.7 inches and offers a pin sharp 854×480 pixels. As such, it should be able to match the iPhone 4 when it comes to showing off your photos or checking out the web.

Performance should be impressive, with a 1GHz processor powering the Xperia Neo’s Gingerbread operating system. The 8-megapixel camera puts the Neo on par with rivals, and there’s also an LED flash for night time shots.

We were initially expecting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo to go on sale during April, but production delays mean that the smartphone has slipped off the radar. It’s now expected to ship during the first week of July, so you can expect it to hit the shops soon.

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.

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.

Android vs Windows Mobile 6.5 : a duel on equal devices..

Which of the two operating systems for smart phones more functional, more comfortable, more promising? It is considered that the future - for Android, and Windows Mobile too old and has to be forgot. But let's not make hasty conclusions. Let's try to start to compare these operating systems, giving them an equal chance to prove themselves.
HTC is as if specially provided us with this opportunity, releasing two communicators with nearly identical hardware equipment, but different OS - HTC Tattoo with Android and HTC Touch 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5. There is no better ground for comparison than these two devices. Both smartphones are based on the same integrated platform, Qualcomm MSM7225 processor with a frequency of 528 MHz, equipped with identical amounts of memory, air interfaces, cameras, and even an FM-tuner.
Well, let's move on to the software capabilities.
Interface for both devices is actually the same - it's HTC Sense. However, the differences between versions for Android and Windows Mobile are really great. Common, in fact, is only the main screen. In Windows Mobile Sense it is a set of windows which can be browsed through the horizontal swipes or using icon (icon at the bottom of the screen - a kind of roots of bookmarks). The composition displayed applets can be customized; however it is limited to on / off individual tabs. Android is all about applets, including the objects of the main window - its widgets, they can be also placed on the seven pages of its interface. Some of them repeat the design of Sense applets; others are taken directly from Android. In sum, the shell came out slightly better in Tattoo: flexible configuration options, more modern graphics and animation. As for specific to the OS interface elements themselves, Android is the leader by a wide margin. Notification bar that stretches on to entire screen is more convenient than it is in Windows Mobile; HTC even added a function for it to show in a separate window. Standard application interface elements are bigger and better placed in Android.

As a result, a comparison between two identical devices with different operating systems breaks the stereotype that Windows Mobile is worse than Android in all the aspects. In the hands of producers who have experience with Microsoft and striving to make their devices of high-quality and attractive for consumers, both OS's running approximately equal. Android has a much better interface, and it is more stable under prolonged heavy use, but it has some problems with the file management.My experience also shows that device manufacturers play a key role in the development of the operating system and its adaptation to the needs of the user. Consortia and software companies are more concerned about the functional expansion of the platform, supported by new technologies than on particular aspects of its capabilities and comfort of use. As a result, the general definition of Android as a "crude and unbalanced equipment", and Windows Mobile - as "unstable and slow". But the knowledgeable and skilled work of HTC equals them out.

HTC EVO 3D and HTC EVO View 4G tablet will be announced at the CTIA..

Today in the U.S. begins CTIA Wireless 2011 event, on which the operator Sprint has announced several new products, including HTC EVO 3D smartphone.Device, the first information on which appeared a few days ago, is built on dual-core processor 8660 Qualcomm Snapdragon, clocked at 1.2 GHz. It is equipped with 4.3-inch screen size and qHD resolution (960 x 450 pixels). One of the main features of its display is the ability to display three-dimensional images, and you do not need special glasses to watch them.

The new smartphone features 1 GB of RAM (according to other sources - 4 GB), 5 megapixel main camera with photo and video and 1.3 megapixel front camera. It is capable of playing HD video in 1080p or 720p in 3D output and is equipped with HDMI. The device running Android Gingerbread 2.3, and has a 1730 mA/h battery.
The second major premiere is the HTC EVO View 4G tablet with seven-inch capacitive touch screen having a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. HTC EVO View 4G mobile computer is running Android 2.3 and has aluminum body. The tablet also has a 5 megapixel main camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera, and output HDMI. Its battery capacity is 4000 mA/h.

Apple iPhone 5..

Although many believe that the next generation if the Apple iPhone/iPhone 5 will have the same design as the iPhone 4 or even a few alterations, there is no harm in speculating. Rumors are in the air that the new apple smatphone is coming out; iphone 5? Well, yes it’s the iphone 5.0 – so be prepared to enter a whole new realm. Even Apple is taking measures to make the iPhone 5 compatible with the latest 4G technology. Item has designed this concept iPhone 5 in the way he would like it. It takes elements from the iPhone 4 and the previous iPhones and adds various improvements as well. The device now has the clear glass on both the front and back as seen in the iPhone 4. But it’s edges and back are rounded as in the previous generation iPhones.
According to reports, Apple is going to bring out iPhone5 with 4G technology soon enough to revolutionize the world again. The Apple iPhone 5 will be outfitted with multi-core A8 System chip, and come with 3.7” display screen. It is expected to be featured with the Graphical dual core CPU with long term evolution for 3GPP and upcoming 4G technology.The Apple iPhone 5 is expected to come with 1.2 GHz Dual Core processor with the graphics card SGX543 and multi core A8 system chip to render HD quality; the same chip used in iPad.
The Iphone 5 has compatibility for GSM, CDMA as well as the 4G connection. Apple iPhone 5 will also come with superior battery life, and advanced features such as mobile connect and media stream. The new i-phone 5 may come with storage space of 64 Gb, and it will surprise you even further with its thinner and sleeker look in comparison to the 3gs & iphone 4.0. Furthermore, this time around Apple is planning to deliver a stunning 10 mega pixel camera. Apple iPhone 5 is expected to get released in 2011 summer. Apple lovers have to wait for iPhone 5 in order to enjoy all its advanced features and technology embedded inside; so stay away from iphone 4.0 for now, if you haven’t bought it, and planning to spend on a new smartphone! However, I’m pretty sure the new beast from Apple is bound to pinch your pockets even more, and the Indian customers won’t get to see it for at least another 10-12months or so! The Menu/Home button is now touch-sensitive. Anyway we hope Apple incorporate some of the good things in this concept into their next iPhone.

PlayStation Phone by Sony..

Sony Ericson is making efforts on a phone that is using the platform of Google’s Android. This phone is expected to be released this year. Now gaming and communication would be beautifully blended in the PlayStation phone from Sony. The CVG unveiled that a trademark is being developed for Sony device and it would be named ‘PlayView’. However, now there are more issues about the Sony cross held between a Captivate phone as well as a PSPGo. Few features of the new phone have been revealed. It would include side-slider gaming controls and the QWERTY keyboard would not be a part of it. The D-pad would also be there but it would lack small joystick. The device will boast a four-inch multi-touch screen, providing up to five hours and 35 minutes of 3D gaming time. The phone will have a PlayStation-style controller with the standard PlayStation buttons. Available games will include Sims 3, FIFA 10, Splinter Cell, Tekken, and, supposedly, Guitar Hero. This new device is expected to have a long touchpad in order to get the analog controls. Apart from that, it would also have the standard PSP buttons and the shoulder buttons.

The display would be quite large between 3.7 and 4.1 inches. WVGA would also be a part of it in order to promote better resolution. It is possible that there would be a 5 megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. At the initial stages, the phone would be available in black color with a highlight of silver while the gamepad area would be white or silver in color.

Michael Ephraim, the boss of Sony Australia, claimed that the PSP2 would be a smart phone. The device will probably be running on Gingerbread (Android 3.0) and Sony would be introducing a new section of the Android Market especially for the games.

RIM BlackBerry Presenter..

Users can finally feel free to leave their laptop behind when going to deliver a presentation. Research In Motion (RIM) has unveiled the BlackBerry Presenter, which is a conveniently small and light device that easily plugs into a projector or monitor, allowing you to display a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation wirelessly from their BlackBerry smartphone. “Mobile professionals are always looking to carry less when travelling,” said Glenn Laxdal, Vice President, Product Management, Research In Motion. “BlackBerry Presenter equips mobile professionals with a simple, secure and convenient way to deliver presentations directly from their BlackBerry smartphone, giving them the freedom to leave their laptops behind.” Measuring 3.4-inch x 2.4-inch x 0.9-inch and weighing 140grams, the BlackBerry Presenter connects to the BlackBerry smartphone via Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR (Class 1.5), so you can walk around freely while presenting (supports roaming up to 30 feet between the devices). Other features include S-Video, a micro USB, and a Synthetic Leather carrying case. Priced at $199, the BlackBerry Presenter is being demonstrated by RIM at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. BlackBerry Presenter gives users easy control of their presentations, allowing them to navigate their presentations, view speaker notes, loop presentation slides and even reference information on one slide while displaying another. Thanks to a wireless (Bluetooth®) connection between the BlackBerry smartphone and BlackBerry Presenter, users can also walk around freely while presenting (supports roaming up to 30 feet between the devices).
