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.

The Wireless Luggage Finder – Let Your Luggage Find You

It’s not the first contraption designed to make finding your luggage on an airport carousel easier, but the easy2pick does seem to be a bit smarter than most. It’s a combination of a luggage tag with a built-in wireless transmitter and a keychain that will sound an alarm, flash and vibrate when your suitcase is within a 66 foot range. So while it might mean that it’s not actually on the carousel just yet, you’ll know it’s coming, and at the least, you’ll know it’s in the same airport as you. Unique ID codes ensure that your keychain won’t detect someone else’s luggage tag, and the 100-hour battery life in the transmitter is prolonged even further thanks to sensors that deactivate it when it’s in the cargo hold of a plane by measuring the light, altitude and even sounds. And the system is a very reasonable $24.95.

Yes, have you experienced a big trouble when you are going to another county? Well, most of people agreed that going to another country with a plane and having a baggage problem is one of the worst things that could happen to anyone. Make sure you buy the wireless luggage finder to protect your suitcase during travelling wherever it is. The wireless luggage finder will help you to keep in touch with your baggage. Simply equip your suitcase with the wireless luggage finder and the devices will work So, you can enjoy the process of baggage checking at the airport without any worried about the suitcase anymore.

There is another important feature of the wireless luggage finder. It will use the photo sensor feature to measure your suitcase inside the airplane cargo room and deactivate the wireless sensor and reactivate it again when the suitcase is on the luggage belt at the airport.

Whether backpacking or a full on luxury holiday, long haul travel can be a highly stressful time when going through airports. The biggest time for stress for most people is baggage claim. It is easy to get stressed out about where your bags are and the condition they are in. No one likes baggage claim.

To help ease this travel stress is an interesting product idea called the Wireless Luggage Finder by Easy 2 Pick. It is a product with a simple aim, reducing your stress by helping to find your luggage.

But don't worry it doesn't go off whilst in the air as it has a sensor which automatically turns it off when dark.
For someone like me, I would like to see a smaller version for your keys and wallet. Its a great device, and a thoroughly recommended business or backpacker travel accessory.

BREAKFAST HQ beta-releases Instaprint..

BREAKFAST HQ might have something here to pique your interest – we’re talking about the beta release of Instaprint, a prototype device which will definitely make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a time machine, rolling back the years by turning Instagram digital photos into physical prints. Each of these Instaprint devices are able to print Instagrams tagged with a specific location or hashtag.

To put it into a more modern context, anyone is able to snap a photo and tag it, and then watch as Instaprint finds their pic and prints it out, complete with comments and the ilk. It does so without having to sacrifice a sense of “retro”, thanks to a new ink-less printing technology known as Zink. The color will hail from the paper itself similar to old Polaroid photos. No idea for pricing on such a device just yet though.

Samsung LED 9000 Series..

The Samsung LED 9000 series was set to replace the older, outmoded, outdated high-end A950 class with a stunning set of LED-backlit LCD displays. Almost every new model these days supports 1080p, 240Hz, local-dimming LED, WiFi-ready, 3D, application store, active shutter glasses-enabled, and up-converting of 2D to 3D too. It also has a full color touchscreen remote that uses WiFi and infrared to communicate with the TV, and you can stream video from your PC to your TV with the remote. It even lets you watch TV in the palm of your hand while something else is playing on the big screen. You can watch a football game while the girlfriend watches a chick flick on the screen. The Samsung LED 9000 series has been renamed the 8500 from the time of their premiere to their shipping date. There are several features which set the 9000 series set apart with lifelike depth to immerse you in the experience, 3D capability, connected interactive content, and design that is changing the game for all other TVs. This next generation of Samsung LED back-lit HDTV is going to change the way that people view television forever. Samsung was already a leader in the LED TV field, but now they are a leader in the 3D LED TV field. Screen sizes range from 19” to 65”.
This pencil-thin TV is about as chic as you can get. It is the world’s slimmest LED TV that is also fully integrated with a built-in 3D processor, auto-conversion technology, 2D content to 3D content conversion, energy efficiency that meets the EnergyStar 4.0 guidelines, and a touchscreen remote control which is fast becoming a necessary feature on all LED TVs. This TV debuted to much surprise at CES 2010 because no one had ever seen an LED TV that was that thin before. It is pencil-thin with metal enclosure that can only be described as tempting, to say the least. It can be set up on any TV stand or taken apart from the base and mounted on the wall. It has not been officially released yet, but many of its features are being built in to other TVs being marketed by Samsung. The notable features, in other words, are being distributed across several of their other TVs, and the fully-featured Samsung LED 9000 series hasn’t been officially released yet. It was one of the most captivating offerings at CES 2010. Throngs of people gathered around the debut with cell phones capturing images of what would become the hottest TV on the market, once it is released that is. It is the most powerful and expensive HDTV of the year, and it also wins the style award for TVs that were being offered that year. This thing could act like a guillotine in a free fall because it is so thin so it is a safety hazard for people installing it that installers have never had to encounter before. There are numerous people that can’t wait to get it.

3DS by Nintendo

If you are wondering what the new Nintendo 3DS will look like then perhaps this fan-made rendering might give you some idea. The concept drawing uses a similar format to the traditional DS whereby the screen flips open. The top screen is 3D and the bottom screen looks to be regular 2D. The controls for the 3DS have been moved to the outside of the device in that they don’t get covered up when the top screen closes down. The left houses the D-Pad and an analogue stick while the right has the SNES style YXBA 4 button setup. Of course these are just fan-made renderings, so perhaps they will actually be nowhere near what the 3DS will look like, but due to them looking quite good I thought I’d mention them anyway.So the Nintendo 3DS has finally be released in Japan and to no surprise, they are already out of stock, they were provided with 400,000 Nintendo 3DS to provide to, well the population of Japan and on the day of the 3Ds launch, they ran out, it was pretty obvious this was going to happen and if the 3Ds is a hit, it is going to change the world of portable gaming, so that’s probably why everyone over in Japan was so keen to get their hands on a Nintendo 3DS.
The lines to get in the shops to buy a 3Ds were crazy, we’re talking about lines containing over 2,000 people all waiting to get their hands on a Nintendo 3DS, there are tons of stores which didn’t have any line what so ever, probably because most stores in Japan put the 3DS on pre-order last month, so most of their stock would of gone on the pre-order sales.
Nintendo’s Japanese warning guidelines pertaining to the use of the 3DS unit has caused some panic among parents as well as other people. The warning guidelines has advised players to take a break after around 30 minutes of play since the 3D gameplay may cause an eye fatigue more quickly than the 2D gameplay does. In addition to this, children under 6 years of age are also advised to prevent themselves from using the 3D mode since at this age their eyes are still in the process of development.
Basically, when you are into a 3D gameplay, these 3D video games as well as 3D movies will make your eyes create some illusion of depth thus, resulting to a feeling on imbalance and disorientation. There are also a few cases where an individual experiences some sort of eye strain, headache, nausea and the like. However, there is no evidence that it can cause a permanent damage to your eyes that could affect your vision or whatsoever. Knowing these possibilities may bring some negative impact to the Nintendo 3DS sales since these Nintendo handheld devices targets young gamers out there. However, it is a good thing that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS will be coming up with a slider that can turn the 3D effect either up or down or even completely turn it off. The 3D technology is definitely on the rise. And since there is no study yet proving the negative effects of 3D to our health especially our vision, it would be advisable to take the necessary precautions. Those 3D tech developers out there must also take this thing into consideration as well. And always remember it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Lenovo IdeaPad U1– a laptop with a detachable tablet screen..

CES 2010 hasn't even started yet and already Lenovo has unwrapped its latest computing concept at the pre-show warm-up CES Unveiled. The computing company has shown off something called the Lenovo IdeaPad – a laptop which comes complete with a detachable tablet screen. The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 is certainly an intriguing concept. It calls itself a 'hybrid notebook' and is essentially two devices, with the tablet part of the IdeaPad working completely independently of the notebook cradle. Screen-wise, it's 11.6 inches and LED backlit, and while Lenovo were tight-lipped over what other specs the IdeaPad U1 has, they did let us have a peak at an as-yet-not-finalised specification sheet which noted the tablet part of the machine used a Qualcomm Arm 1GHz Snapdragon processor, with the main notebook powered by a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. In total the whole thing will weigh 1.61lbs, but if you fancy just carrying the tablet around then this will only weigh you down 0.7lbs. Other specs we managed to glean from Lenova are that the IdeaPad will incorporate 4GB of DDR3 Ram, house 2x USB ports and an eSata port. Interestingly, once the tablet is freed from the notebook body, you can hook the notebook up to an external monitor and it will work just fine. When the tablet is removed, what you are left with is a see-through red Perspex screen.

Another cool feature is that the device will know to automatically change your web surfing from full web to mobile web when the tablet is set free. Although the Snapdragon processor is more than capable of supporting full web, it is a handy little feature to have. Given the size of the device it's no wonder that it uses a resistive screen, but we tried it and there wasn't too much forced prodding to be done. Lenova has certainly hit onto and intriguing concept with the IdeaPad U1. While it may not be the only tablet device the company releases at CES, it's a great compromise for those who want to try out a tablet but don't won't to rid themselves of the notebook completely. Another compromise may be the price. Looking to be around the $999 mark when it is released in the US in the second half of the year, expect a UK release date of the Lenovo IdeaPad U1 later in 2010, with pounds matching dollars.

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.

3D Vaio by Sony..

Sony has had a couple of 3D-capable devices unveiled at IFA Berlin. One of them is its 3D VAIO laptop which is still a prototype and planed to release in Spring of 2011. The laptop that was shown off at the IFA is based on the current Sony’s VAIO F-series 16-inch notebook. But Sony claims that the eventual production models will be different from the demoed models. The Sony’s 3D laptop requires you to wear a pair of full active shutter “frame sequential” glasses and be at a dedicated viewing position to enjoy watching the best 3D contents in full HD 1080p quality on the laptop’s screen. The 3D screen of the VAIO prototype is able to rapidly cycle between left and right eye, and has blank screens between each shot for the left and right eye – which effectively outputs 240 frames per second to match the normal 60fps refresh rate.

Sony wraps off its new line of affordable priced notebooks in chic new colors—3D VAIO E Series. Sony 3D VAIO E Series laptop are designed with personalization in mind, spectrum of available colors, just like HP revitalized its Mini Series. Inviting finishes and subtle patterns will help one in choosing a style that all own. Interior is striking with clear coat palm rests that match lid & available colorful keyboard skins to spice up things. At “IFA 2010 tech Fair“, Sony unveiled 3D Vaio E Series notebook including a button, which when pressed, will convert 2D images to 3D with 3 unique hardware buttons – VAIO, WEB and ASSIST. Sony company plans to launch 3D Vaio laptops in early 2011.

“3D Vaios will debut next spring,” Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, said in a press conference touting 3D technology and Sony’s commitment to it. Easy, quick transfer and store data to peripheral devices utilizing notebook eSATA/ USB port, 3 convenient USB ports. Select models has Bluetooth technology, enabling peripherals such as wireless mouse to be utilized without tying up unit ports. Vaio 3D laptops has similar 3D tech to Sony Bravia TVs including Sony “Black Frame Insertion” which gives viewer extra clear & super sharp results by inserting black frames between color images to separate them. Sony 3D Vaio prototype has 16-inch display screen. Sony is claiming that its 3D laptops will feature extremely fast response “LCD screens” displaying up-to 240fps, giving better 3D imaging. A built-in webcam with face tracking technology, microphone and video chat with friends, family and colleagues.

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).

Google Android..

The Open Handset Alliance shares a common goal of fostering innovation on mobile devices and giving consumers a far better user experience than much of what is available on today's mobile platforms. By providing developers a new level of openness that enables them to work more collaboratively, Android will accelerate the pace at which new and compelling mobile services are made available to consumers.

The global smartphone market is still RIM's to lose, with Apple in the pole position to profit from its mistakes. But new ComScore data on the U.S. smartphone market suggest that both should be worried by what they see in their rear-view mirrors. Google Android, the internet search giant's foray into the mobile device operating systems market, has been steadily gaining momentum, and will continue to rise in popularity. Google's smartphone is one of the most iconic consumer electronics launches of the year, as its integration with Google multiple services freed internet shoppers from wireless carriers' service contract stranglehold. Many other devices that use Google's Android OS are being released, helping Google approach the top of the mobile OS market. Importantly, Google is assembling a community of telecoms and handset manufacturers locked out of the iPhone game.

3D television..

With the advanced and latest technology there are coming the 3D televisions in the market with all the inbuilt features. Almost all the companies in the world are interested in manufacturing the 3D televisions into the market. It is proved in the exhibition, Consumer Electronics Show 2010, which is conducted in LosVegas and in that exhibition the Panasonic Company leave its mark in launching the 3D television into the market.

The advent of 3D television will not gain as much traction as their developers would like; since manufacturers are pushing for it more than consumers. With very little 3D content currently available, and given that only a handful of 3D TV's are on the market, it's better to wait and decide whether 3D will go down in history as a gimmick, or rise up as the wave of the future.

Blu-ray

Blu-ray true High Definition DVD. Blu-ray and HD-DVD enables a disc the size of a current DVD disc to hold an entire film at HDTV resolution or allow you to record two hours of high definition video content. It is getting closer to become primary media slowly but steadily in the market of home theater. More news titles are being released every day. 2011 will finally be the year when Blu-ray will take the place of DVDs in the mainstream market.

Blu-ray disks are about to get a whole lot bigger. The Blu-ray Disc Association has announced two super-sized new specs for the already capacious disks, letting them squeeze up to 128GB onto a single silver platter. How is this done? The boring, old-fashioned way: layers. There are two new specifications, both with jaw-crunching names: BDXL (High Capacity Recordable and Rewritable disks) and IH-BD (Intra-Hybrid disks).Neither of these new formats will work in your current Blu-ray player, nor should they. It’s pretty clear these generously-sized disks are for storage rather than publishing, although the new machines required to use them will be backward-compatible with existing disks. Still, imagine the movie-extras you could fit on this thing.

Electronic Butterfly in a Jar – It’s Your's Forever to Keep..

Did you experience catching butterflies and putting them in a jar when you were a kid? If yes, for sure you had so much fun watching those colorful little creatures flying inside the jar. But because you didn’t want them to die, you just freed them after. And then you felt sad doing so. Hey, why not try having a butterfly in a jar again? This time, you don’t have to catch it which makes it more convenient for you considering your busy routine. Not only that, you don’t even have to free the butterfly so it’s yours forever to keep. So what to do? Get this thing called Electronic Butterfly in a Jar.

As it names suggests, the jar contains an electronic butterfly that looks exactly like a real butterfly. There’s a wire inside, which is responsible in making that fake butterfly move inside the jar. All you need to do is tap the top or make a loud noise and the electronics in the cap will make the wire wiggle, thus creating an illusion that the butterfly is moving as well. You’d certainly love how it flexes its colorful wings. So if you aren’t in a good mood, just look at the Butterfly in a Jar and you’ll experience a sudden change in your mood. It’s like feeling the calmness of nature right before your desk.

If you want, you can even get all the four different colors available: Blue Morpho, Pink Morpho, Yellow Swallowtail, and Monarch. Take note, however, that there is only one butterfly per jar and that the butterflies should not be combined in one jar.

Laptop tracks gaze, taking eye-tracking out of lab..

It tracks your gaze and figures out where you're looking on the screen. That means, among other things, that you can play a game where you burn up incoming asteroids with a laser that hits where you look. In another demonstration this week, the computer scrolled a text on the screen in response to eye movements, sensing when the reader reached the end of the visible text.

In the future, a laptop like this could make the mouse cursor appear where you're looking, or make a game character maintain eye contact with you, according to Tobii Technology Inc., the Swedish firm that's behind the tracking technology. The eye tracker works by shining two invisible infrared lights at you. Two hidden cameras then look for the "glints" off your eyeballs and reflections from each retina. It needs to be calibrated for each person. It works for people with or without eyeglasses.

Rather than a replacement for the traditional mouse and keyboard or the newer touch screen, the eye-tracking could be a complement, making a computer faster and more efficient to use, said Barbara Barclay, general manager of Tobii's Analysis Solutions business. Tobii has been making eye-tracking devices for researchers and the disabled for nearly a decade. The laptop is its way of showing that eye-tracking could expand beyond those niches, Barclay said, calling it an "idea generator."

The laptop is made by Lenovo Corp., and incorporates Tobii's eye-tracking cameras in a "hump" on the cover, making the entire package about twice as thick as a regular laptop. But future, commercial versions can be slimmer and are perhaps two years away, Barclay said.

Lenovo and Tobii made 20 of the laptops and planned to demonstrate them at the CeBIT technology trade show in Hanover, Germany, on Tuesday.

Tobii's current, standalone eye-trackers cost tens of thousands of dollars, but Barclay said the cost of adding consumer-level eye-tracking to a commercial laptop could be much less. New ways to use computers have been proliferating in recent years. Touch screens are becoming popular on smart phones and tablet computers such as the iPad. Nintendo Corp.'s Wii game console brought motion-sensing technology to the masses. Microsoft Corp. released an accessory for its Xbox games console last year that uses an infrared camera to sense the movement of bodies in three dimensions.
