Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Kindle has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. With Kindle's 25% longer battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly. Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike WiFi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot.<p><b>Price: </b>$259.00</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00154JDAI/ref=nosim/httpebooksazb-20" title="Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" target="_blank"><b>Click here to buy from Amazon</b></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-2387590341735841141?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-42702310174837820452011-06-01T08:18:00.000-07:002011-06-01T08:18:00.834-07:00<img src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//51y8OwnpiL.jpg" alt="Kindle DX, Free 3G, 3G Works Globally, Graphite, 9.7" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology"width="300" align="left" style="margin-right: 7px;" />Say Hello to the Newest Kindle DX All New, High Contrast E-Ink Screen: Our graphite Kindle DX uses our all new, improved electronic ink display, with 50% better contrast for the clearest text and sharpest images Beautiful Large Display: The 9.7" diagonal E-ink screen is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs Read in Sunlight with No Glare: Unlike backlit computer or LCD screens, Kindle DX's display looks and reads like real paper, with no glare.

And although Apple has remained particularly mum on the topic, it looks like they will be nuking the malware in an upcoming OSX update.</P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-154115" title=mac-defender-alert-1 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//mac-defender-alert-1-580x435.jpg" width=580 height=435></P><P>When AppleCare started receiving a high number of Mac Defender cases, it was leaked that Apple’s reaction was to instruct its staff to not fix affected computers or even confirm with customers whether or not their computers actually had the malware installed.

An Apple Support knowledge base article had the following message:</P><BLOCKQUOTE readability="6"><P>“In the coming days, Apple will deliver a Mac OS X software update that will automatically find and remove Mac Defender malware and its known variants.

Following the HTC ThunderBolt and Samsung DROID Charge, the Revolution ironically sticks to the theme of a single-core processor and a 4.3 display. Read on for our first impressions.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154289" title=LG-Revolution-LTE-Android-phone-01-SlashGear alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//LG-Revolution-LTE-Android-phone-01-SlashGear-580x464.jpg" width=580 height=464></P><P>Inside the sober black chassis there’s Qualcomm’s 1GHz CPU running Android 2.2 Froyo. Interestingly, Verizon has opted for Microsoft’s Bing search and mapping for the Revolution, rather than the more common Google offerings. That’s obviously allowed in Android’s TOS, but has previously proved a less than popular decision among buyers. It also gets a 5-megapixel camera (along with a 1.3-megapixel front webcam) rather than the 8-megapixel shooters of the Charge and ThunderBolt.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154282" title=LG-Revolution-LTE-Android-phone-08-SlashGear alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//LG-Revolution-LTE-Android-phone-08-SlashGear-580x386.jpg" width=580 height=386></P><P>Verizon is positioning the Revolution as an entertainment phone, preloading the Netflix app and bundling a 16GB card rather than the usual 8GB, plenty for lots of video. There’s also that HDMI output for hooking the smartphone up to an HDTV. That’s welcome, as the Revolution’s 4.3-inch LCD display is nothing special compared to the Super AMOLED Plus panel on the DROID Charge.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154292" title=LG-Revolution-vs-DROID-Charge-LTE-Android-phone-2-SlashGear alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//LG-Revolution-vs-DROID-Charge-LTE-Android-phone-2-SlashGear-580x386.jpg" width=580 height=386></P><P>Brightness set to 100% for both devices.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154293" title=LG-Revolution-vs-DROID-Charge-LTE-Android-phone-1-SlashGear alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//LG-Revolution-vs-DROID-Charge-LTE-Android-phone-1-SlashGear-580x406.jpg" width=580 height=406></P><P>In fact, Verizon’s pricing on the Revolution is something of a curiosity. At $249.99 – with a new, two-year agreement – it’s certainly in the premium range, and yet it falls short not only of the specs we’ve seen from dual-core powerhouses elsewhere, but from the two LTE handsets Verizon already offers. We’ll be looking to find LG’s special sauce in time for the full SlashGear review, so until then enjoy the hands-on video and unboxing gallery!</P><P><STRONG>LG Revolution unboxing, hands-on and comparison between DROID Charge, Thunderbolt and LG G2X (T-Mobile)</STRONG><BR><P>One more video getting processed…stay tune.</EM></P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/WdC49KWO84M/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-8095888981837305419?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-6774718216946178002011-05-31T16:35:00.000-07:002011-05-31T16:35:00.654-07:00 <P>During the Mango update reveal yesterday, Microsoft announced that it will be offering a web portal version of its Windows Phone Marketplace.

Various purchasing options will be supported including try-before-you-buy and carrier billing. A Windows Live ID account can also be linked for paying with an associated credit card. Additionally, one-click social features will allow users to recommend apps via email, Facebook, or Twitter. </P><P>The Windows Marketplace currently has over 18,000 apps, but should see a dramatic increase with the upcoming update and the new attention from Nokia developers.

The simultaneous use of Android applications on Windows combined with multi-touch enablement provides users with the opportunity to quickly access personal and work applications, while giving PC manufacturers the chance to take advantage of the growing consumer demand for Android-based mobile enterprise applications.</P><P>Founded in March 2008 with the goal of taking advantage of the fast-growing Android OS market and eliminating the need for users to carry two devices, BlueStacks will allow consumers to receive the benefits of both Android and Windows for the cost of a single PC. BlueStacks is led by CEO Rosen Sharma, a serial entrepreneur and most recently SVP and CTO of Innovation at McAfee. In addition to Sharma, Frank Artale of Ignition and Kevin Compton from Radar join the company’s board of directors.</P><P>“Ignition sees a clear demand for what BlueStacks can deliver: a way to help businesses of all sizes and consumers leverage their device of choice for work and play,” said Artale, managing director, Ignition Ventures. “The team has targeted a fundamental problem in a rapidly expanding market, and they have the business acumen and technological expertise to build a market-leading solution. I look forward to working with the team during what is sure to be an exciting time in the company.”</P><P>BlueStacks will enable PC manufacturers to ride the momentum behind the Android ecosystem by enabling Android applications to be run on x86-based tablets, netbooks, notebooks or all-in-one (AIO) computers. With the new convertible form factors, BlueStacks completely eliminates the need to carry two devices. This in turn enables PC manufacturers to increase their margin on the devices and also benefit from the increase in the lifetime value of the customer because of all the application purchases and stickiness that comes from the user data and preferences.</P><P>“It’s a compelling strategy for BlueStacks to enable all the popular Android apps on Windows devices. For consumers and businesses alike, this means getting the best of both worlds with the ability to run Android apps on a Windows device that offers all the advantages of familiarity, device interoperability and security,” said Chris Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager of Client Computing Solutions, AMD (NYSE: AMD). “AMD is committed to collaborating with software innovators like BlueStacks who take advantage of our unique Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) technology to deliver seamless computing experiences across common industry platforms and based on industry standards.”</P><P>Added Sharma, “Our vision is for an entirely new type of experience that supports the consumer interest in Android and also allows them to access some of the most valuable enterprise applications, enabling them to use their device of choice for work and play. We are currently working with a number of OEM and strategic partners and look forward to bringing our product to market in Q3 of this year.”</P></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/ExacDcE4uDI/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-4284772533924590607?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-73115401341854451582011-05-31T02:06:00.000-07:002011-05-31T02:06:00.200-07:00 <P>A glimmer of hope for would-be Android modders tempted by the HTC Sensation‘s solid hardware but turned off by the company’s policy on locked bootloaders: HTC says it’s considering changing its mind. According to the HTC Facebook page, the company is “reviewing the issue and our policy around bootloaders and will provide more information soon.”</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154122" title=htc_sensation_review_sg_16 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//htcsensationreviewsg162-548x500.jpg" width=548 height=500></P><P>The turnaround – if that’s what HTC decides to do – would follow a precedent set earlier this year, where Sony Ericsson confirmed it would be unlocking the bootloader on certain models in its 2011 Android range. The functionality would not be across the board, however, since some carrier-customized XPERIA devices had proprietary software loaded. Still, it was seen as a welcome sop to owners.</P><P>HTC may still decide to stick with its bootloader policy, but given the growing furore among Android power-users we imagine they’re giving a reversal some serious consideration. Many of you have told us that, while the Sensation appeals, you’re opting for the Samsung Galaxy S II because it’s easier to load with third-party ROMs, something which would definitely bite into HTC’s reputation as at the bleeding edge of Android development.</P><BLOCKQUOTE readability="9"><P><STRONG>Update on Bootloaders</STRONG></P><P>Thanks so much for providing feedback, we hear your concerns.

When launched, it will be an integrated feature that you’ll find on the left side of your newsfeed right below your usual photos and events icons. When you click on the Spotify icon, the service will install on your desktop in the background and give you access to its library of millions of songs. </P><P>You would then be able to access the music via Facebook, and even listen to the same music simultaneously with your friends. It’s not certain yet whether it will be called “Facebook Music” or “Spotify on Facebook” but either way it’s only available to those in countries where Spotify is supported. Currently, that excludes folks in the United States. </P><P>Spotify is still in the process of negotiating with labels here in the U.S., but as we’ve seen how unsuccessful Google has been with label negotiations for their Music Beta, it could certainly be a long road ahead. It also makes sense that the once rumored Google and Spotify deal didn’t pan out. </P><P>[via Forbes]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/xrh6TaCs1ko/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-8072457566364753930?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-51394900849994817012011-05-30T17:20:00.000-07:002011-05-30T17:20:00.152-07:00 <P>Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 laptop has gone up for sale, with the 13.3-inch ultraportable priced from $1,199.

Packing a Core i7 processor – complete with Turbo Boost overclocking – along with an onboard DVD burner, optional SSD, optional AMD Radeon HD 6630 GPU and a 13.3-inch 1600 x 900 display, the bumped S-Series’ main charm is the potential for up to 15hrs of runtime.</P><P>To achieve that, mind, you’ll have to strap on the optional $150 “slice” battery. Without it, the S-Series is a waifish 0.95-inches thick and 3.8lbs, available in brown, black or silver. Options include a Blu-ray drive, while a backlit keyboard and Exmor-sensor equipped webcam are standard. It hits pre-order today, priced from $1,350.</P><P>Meanwhile, the new Sony VAIO F-Series gaming notebooks are also on order from today, with a 16.4-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display, quad-core Core i7 processor, a choice of NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (1GB) or 520M (512MB) graphics and up to 750GB of storage. There’s also a backlit keyboard, USB 3.0, an HD webcam and S-Force Front Surround 3D technology along with Dolby Home Theater v3 support.

The tablet has some nice hardware under the hood with a 3MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera. It also has a dual core Tegra processor and a lot more. When we reviewed the limited edition version of the Tab 10.1 that was handed out at Google I/O we really liked it.</P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-154151" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//galtab10-sg-580x338.jpg" width=580 height=338></P><P>That limited edition version of the Tab 10.1 was running Android 3.0.1 as the OS. The Samsung Tab 10.1 product page has been changed and now shows that the tablet will come with Android 3.1 under the hood. A newer version of the OS onboard is a great thing indeed, unless it pushes the launch date out to allow Samsung time to get that OS updated on all the Tab 10.1's that it has ready.</P><P>To make things more exciting for Tab 10.1 fans a tweet was posted up that claims the launch of the Tab 10.1 is “days away.” I hate teasers; I wish Samsung would just say when it is coming. If the upgrade on the OS takes a while, we could see the tablet roll past that June 8 launch we are hoping for. We can only wait and see at this point what the launch date turns out to be. Perhaps Samsung will give us more hints soon.</P><P>[via Android Community]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/Bup0ewm3nak/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-4126636166960135974?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-89756394645932701492011-05-30T05:04:00.000-07:002011-05-30T05:04:00.502-07:00 <P>Looking for a charger that will be compatible with all your gadgets, last a long time, and be eco-friendly all at the same time?

When Panasonic bought Sanyo back in 2009, it was feared that it would be the end to the popular camcorders. But today, Panasonic just unleashed three new Xacti-look-alike models, but branded under their own name of course. </P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154244" title=HX-WA10-620x279 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//HX-WA10-620x279.png" width=620 height=279></P><P>All three models feature full 1080p HD video recording and even up to 16-megapixel stills. The HX-WA10 is the one model out of the three that’s waterproof for up to 3 meters or almost 10 feet. It has a stereo mic, mini HDMI/USB/SDXC connector ports, and a 2.6-inch LCD, but almost no internal memory at only 80MB—priced at $550.</P><P>The HX-DC15 comes with a 3-inch LCD and 16GB of internal memory, but priced at $610. The entry-level model HX-DC1 has a 14-megapixel sensor and a 3-inch CD, but again with almost no internal memory at only 80MB—priced at $425.

The small little netbooks were underpowered when compared to the notebooks on the market, but the low prices and portability made them very appealing to a number of buyers. Netbooks sold in droves to users that wanted portability and basic computing needs in a cheap package. Those netbooks, like the early Eee models, were rather chunky looking though.</P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-154155" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//computexeee-sg-580x207.jpg" width=580 height=207></P><P>At Computex Asus will be rolling out its next generation of Eee PC and the machine Asus is teasing us with looks little like those old netbooks we are all familiar with. The new Eee has a very thin looking design and has a tapering profile that is thinner at the track pad area than it is up top. We really have nothing other than the single teaser image above to go on with this machine.</P><P>What will be under the hood is anyone’s guess. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine another Intel Atom powered the machine. I could also see some versions landing with the AMD Fusion APUs inside. Notebooks and netbooks aren’t all Asus will have at Computex. The company is also teasing a new tablet with the line “pad or phone?” Computex kicks off on May 30 in Taipei so we will know in a few weeks time what the sexy looking new Eee has under the hood.</P><P>[via Notebookitalia]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/l0QaBjjrv5M/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-2569412742697473200?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-35242853452900708662011-05-29T18:50:00.000-07:002011-05-29T18:50:00.288-07:00 <P>Verizon has officially confirmed the release date for the LG Revolution, the carrier’s latest 4G LTE smartphone.

Although more folks may be flocking to the Xbox 360 and attempting to off load their PS3s from the panic of the recent Sony hackathon, the company has just announced a new bundle offer today that may just be enticing enough. </P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-154272" title=sony_ps3_cod_bundle alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//sonyps3codbundle-580x366.jpg" width=580 height=366></P><P>Sony today revealed a limited edition PS3 bundle that pairs up the immensely popular first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops with a 160GB PS3 console. But that’s not all. They’ll also throw in a “First Strike Content Pack” all for the price of $299.99, which is the normal price for just the console itself. </P><P>The bundle will be available next week, starting May 31. So, if you’ve been wanting to pick up a PS3, but have been hesitant with all of Sony’s recent negative press, does this bundle offer get you itching to pull the trigger? </P><P>[via Kotaku]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/tZHZYyJ_gpI/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-6643039744693274583?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-65813192977670227262011-05-29T07:50:00.000-07:002011-05-29T07:50:00.359-07:00 <P>The Google Maps app for Android just keeps getting better. The app has just crossed the 200 million installs mark and its usage will likely surpass its desktop version in June. New features and improvements for it also keep rolling out, with Google unleashing the Google Maps 5.5 update today.</P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154313" title="Screen shot 2011-05-24 at 9.01.36 AM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-24-at-90136-AM.png" width=283 height=280></P><P>Google Maps 5.5 will makes it easier to check-in to places as well as rate them. The update adds a ‘check in’ and a ‘rate and review’ button to the Places page. Now you can check in to places with Google Latitude or submit ratings or reviews by clicking on two new buttons on the top of listings.</P><P>A new option to edit your home and work location addresses in Latitude was also added. The Location History dashboard was added last month that lets you track how many hours you spend at your home, work, or anywhere else. Now you can edit these locations if you’d rather another address to represent your home or work locations.</P><P>Transit pages have also been updated with better organized information. Each transit page will now include a list of upcoming scheduled departures for various lines, all the transit lines serving a station, and links to nearby transit stations. </P><P>The update is available to download now and requires Android OS 1.6 or higher. </P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154314" title="Screen shot 2011-05-24 at 9.03.07 AM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-24-at-90307-AM.png" width=313 height=362></P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154315" title="Screen shot 2011-05-24 at 9.07.01 AM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-24-at-90701-AM.png" width=400 height=328></P><P>[via Google Blog]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/7xCcBBVa7ng/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-6581319297767022726?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-50714271172000914852011-05-29T03:41:00.000-07:002011-05-29T03:41:00.376-07:00 <P>I think that we all know most operating systems are far from being as secure as the manufacturer and the users want them to be. Most of them can be hacked by someone with the skill and tenacity to fight through the security on the devices. A company from Russia called ElcomSoft has announced the availability of a new decryption toolset that targets iOS devices.</P><P><IMG class="alignright size-medium wp-image-154170" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//iphone1-gg-580x386.jpg" width=580 height=386></P><P>The software has two parts, one of those parts is the password breaker and the other is available only to police and forensic agencies. That last part is able to extract the numbers used to create the encryption keys for iOS that are used to render decrypted images of the device. The decryption tool has to have direct access to the device. With direct access, it is able to capture the unique device key and escrow keys. The escrow key is calculated by using the UID and escrow pairing records.</P><P>Apparently, if you fear The Man will get your device and check up on you at some point, you can beat the software by using a complex password rather than a single, four-digit code to protect the data. The password breaker of the ElcomSoft suite guesses the password based on variations of a word. </P><P>[via ArsTechnica]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/cnqZlEQOXdk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-5071427117200091485?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-10309113208524921662011-05-29T00:40:00.000-07:002011-05-29T00:40:00.197-07:00 <P>TomTom has announced its GO LIVE 800 series PNDs for the European market, initially available as the 4.3-inch GO LIVE 820 and the 5-inch GO LIVE 825.

They’re available in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, though not all services are operational in each country; more details in the press release below.</P><BLOCKQUOTE readability="145"><P><STRONG>Introducing the TomTom GO LIVE 800 series – smart, easy, connected navigation</STRONG></P><P>New connected device makes LIVE Services more accessible and helps more drivers to break free from traffic jams</P><P>Amsterdam, 24 May 2011 – Today, TomTom makes connected navigation even more accessible with the launch of the TomTom GO LIVE 800 series. This stylish new addition to the TomTom GO portfolio comes with a whole year of LIVE Services– including TomTom’s market leading HD Traffic service.<BR>The launch of the TomTom GO LIVE 800 series is part of a complete refresh of the TomTom product lineup. This sees TomTom’s whole range simplified and split into the non-connected Start and Via ranges – designed for those drivers seeking convenience and comfort – and the connected GO LIVE range, for drivers who want to benefit from real-time traffic and route information on their journey.<BR>“The TomTom GO LIVE 800 series is designed to help everyone reap the benefits of connected navigation,” says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director, Consumer at TomTom. “Its smart design puts powerful TomTom LIVE Services like HD Traffic into a great value package – helping drivers everywhere to break free from jams.”<BR>All GO LIVE 800 devices bring one year of TomTom’s market-leading LIVE Services straight to their device. The flagship service is TomTom HD Traffic, which delivers accurate traffic information every two minutes – that’s up to seven times more frequently than any other provider. With coverage across more roads and more countries than any other traffic service, HD Traffic gives drivers detailed incident reports, length of and reason for delays, accurate travel and arrival times – even alternative route proposals.<BR>The LIVE Services bundle also includes the Speed Cameras service, providing mobile and fixed speed camera alerts, while Local Search helps to pinpoint shops and businesses in the area. QuickGPSfix, meanwhile, helps drivers to start navigating in seconds. And they don’t need to worry that the weather will spoil their plans – the TomTom GO LIVE 800 range also gives drivers local and five-day forecasts courtesy of TomTom Weather.<BR>Drivers can also use their voice to enter addresses, while hands-free calling via Bluetooth® lets them make and answer phone calls safely whilst on the move, so it’s easier than ever to stay in touch and in control.<BR>All devices in the GO LIVE 800 series are based on TomTom’s award-winning IF product design, where stylish looks meet clever functionality. The intelligent orientation sensor within GO LIVE 800 series devices, for example – coupled with the fully integrated flip screen mount – lets drivers mount their device to their dashboard, automatically rotating the screen 180 degrees. All drivers need to add is a dashboard mounting disc.<BR>Just like every other device in the TomTom lineup, TomTom GO LIVE 800 series devices come with a bigger screen, for an even clearer and more comfortable view. Drivers simply have to choose whether they want the GO LIVE 820 with its 4.3? touch screen, or the GO LIVE 825 with the larger, 5? touch screen.<BR>Vigreux concludes: “The new GO LIVE 800 will make TomTom HD Traffic available to more people, providing them with the very best traffic information available. This is something we committed to in our Traffic Manifesto last year, giving drivers who use TomTom HD Traffic more control by keeping them fully informed of the exact traffic situation. These drivers will spend less time stuck in traffic, arriving less stressed and on time, with quicker alternative routes offered to them as soon as they are available.”<BR>Availability and pricing<BR>? ? ? ?<BR>The TomTom GO LIVE 820 (regional version) costs €199.

And of course in the week or so preceding the event, we’ll be hearing plenty of speculation on those details. Today an analyst and Mobile Review editor, Eldar Murtazin, claims that the iOS 5 will not be compatible with iPhone 3GS handsets.</P><P><IMG class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-154112" title=iPhone-3GS-SlashGear-08-r3media-480x355 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//iPhone-3GS-SlashGear-08-r3media-480x355.jpg" width=480 height=355></P><P>Murtazin posted his claim via Twitter, where he wrote, “Just one comment. Apple iPhone 3Gs wont be upgradable to iOS 5.x. iPhone 4 will.” Although there’s no specific evidence to support his claim, Murtazin has been fairly accurate in the past with several of his claims, including the Nokia N8 and the Nokia/Microsoft deal. </P><P>It’s believed that Apple has been testing iOS 5 on the 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch, but may have found that the new firmware doesn’t run very fast or well on the older hardware. Apple also seems to have an obsolescence pattern of two years for its devices, with support for the original iPhone having been dropped with iOS 4 in the summer of 2010. The iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod touch were left behind with the release of iOS 4.3 earlier this year.</P><P>[via iPodNN]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/3m0Y16qJqWs/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-7554253516418792295?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-4492271400842574962011-05-28T12:07:00.000-07:002011-05-28T12:07:00.302-07:00 <P>Volunteers to take part in the UK’s first live trial of a 4G broadband service are being invited to sample some of the LTE goodness that their US counterparts are already enjoying, with carrier combo Everything Everywhere and telco BT rolling out the scheme in Newquay, St Newlyn East down in Cornwall.

No? You never got into the whole making of rune-words thing? What about after they upgraded it in one of the patches? That’s the beauty of an online game like Diablo, if they make something happen in the game then want to upgrade it, all they have to do is send you an upgrade over the air. That said, the newer Runestone system revealed today by Blizzard stands much more of an excellent chance at capturing our deamon-hating hearts than the original system did! </P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154250" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 2.32.39 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-23239-PM-580x255.png" width=580 height=255></P><P>In this new system, and indeed in the greater gameplay that the third installment in the Diablo saga offers, extensive character customization will take place. They’ve learned from the success of World of Warcraft it seems and are applying such new ability-growing to the Diablo universe. In addition to the highlighted item today, runestones, there will be five ive character classes, including charms, traits, enhancements, gems, armor, weapons, dyes, and skills. Runestones here come in five different types:</P><P>Crimson<BR>Indigo<BR>Obsidian<BR>Golden<BR>Alabaster</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154251" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 2.32.31 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-23231-PM-580x96.png" width=580 height=96></P><P>Each of these stones will be able to be added to skills to enhance them. A character, if you don’t know already at this point, is able to have access to seven “skills” at any one time, these skills can activate anything from spells to minions to traps, running fast to having the ability to upping your defense. With runes you’ll be able to not only customize they way they function, but also the way they look. Like gems of the past, each rune will add a specific type of effect: crimson will add to damage, alabaster adds to stun (that’s all we know thus far.)</P><P>Each runestone also has a different rank of power. The higher the rank, the moor dramatic the skill enhancement.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154253" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 2.20.42 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-22042-PM.png" width=537 height=142></P><P>Undoubtedly the most powerful skill a Barbarian has in his arsenal, the whirlwind is exactly what you’ll be aiming for from the start of your skill building. It was true in Diablo II and we can’t possibly fathom anything being more powerful in Diablo III, but you never know! Enhancements to this skill via runestones are thus:</P><BLOCKQUOTE readability="15"><P>Crimson – Shoots bits of rock and gravel in every direction, dealing area effect damage.</P><P>Indigo – Barbarian spawns smaller whirlwinds which deal direct damage.</P><P>Obsidian – Provides the barbarian with immunity to immobilizing effects.</P><P>Golden – Reduced Fury cost.</P><P>Alabaster – Critical strikes confuse enemies, forcing them to attack their allies for a short time.</P></BLOCKQUOTE><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154254" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 2.22.57 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-22257-PM.png" width=542 height=219></P><P>A monk is able to do a combo skill called Sweeping Wind. This skill is very similar to whirlwind in that it creates a circle of damage around the character – the difference here is that what’s happening is more magic, a vortex of effects increasing in damage and radius each time you use the sweep. Enhancements to this skill via rhinestones are thus:</P><BLOCKQUOTE readability="15"><P>Crimson – A flurry of blades increases Sweeping Wind’s damage.</P><P>Indigo – Expands the area of effect and strikes enemies with additional fire-based attacks.</P><P>Obsidian – A persistent whirlwind surrounds the monk, dealing damage to any foes that come into contact.</P><P>Golden – Increases Spirit regeneration.</P><P>Alabaster – A powerful sandstorm billows with the monk’s attacks, damaging enemies and knocking them back.</P></BLOCKQUOTE><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154255" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 2.25.48 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-22548-PM.png" width=541 height=254></P><P>A blasting effect to be used by a wizard that freezes enemies and damaging them lightly.

Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors” on Monday. It’s unclear whether Ballmer’s blunder was in the name of the OS or its release timetable.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154128" title=steve_ballmer_improbable alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//steveballmerimprobable.jpg" width=423 height=291></P><P>Instead, Microsoft’s PR team claims, “we are eagerly awaiting the next generation of Windows 7 hardware that will be available in the coming fiscal year. To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows.” Although Windows 8 is believed to be the name which Microsoft will use for its updated platform at launch, the company is yet to actually confirm that and may not, indeed, until very close to the commercial release. Windows 7, for instance, was only christened weeks before it hit PCs and store shelves.</P><P>It’s not the first confusion around the platform in recent weeks either. Microsoft called Intel “factually inaccurate and unfortunately misleading” after SVP Renee James suggested Windows 8 would be launched in four different flavors for ARM processors, each version incapable of running both legacy x86 apps and apps intended for the other versions.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/Ngay6YdT-C0/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-7863122941647402668?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-87098586406073701292011-05-27T19:12:00.000-07:002011-05-27T19:12:00.832-07:00 <P>With Amazon’s Kindle with Special Offers already being the best-selling model in the company’s ereader range – despite having only hit virtual shelves in late April – it’s little surprise that the retailer has rolled out a second version. After the WiFi-only original (with its $114 price tag) there’s now a Kindle 3G with Special Offers, undercutting the regular 3G model by $25 at $164.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154125" title=Kindle_3 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Kindle31-541x500.jpg" width=541 height=500></P><P>As with the WiFi-only version, the new Kindle 3G with Special Offers shows adverts along the bottom of the homescreen as well as sponsored screensavers when the ereader is in standby mode. They’re not inserted into ebooks, however, and Amazon allows readers to set their preferences as to what style of screensavers they’d like to see more of.</P><P>$25 is only a few ebooks-worth of savings, but in the race to making ereaders as cheap as possible – and given the 3G version still comes with a subscription-free wireless connection – it’s good to see Amazon carve away at the Kindle’s price tag. The Kindle 3G with Special Offers is available in the US now.</P><P>[Thanks Paul!]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/TWhWWkY96F8/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-8709858640607370129?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-65200796565915714142011-05-27T15:45:00.000-07:002011-05-27T15:45:00.453-07:00 <P>Garmin has released its latest PND, and the nuvi 2565RT promises not only to tell you where to go but watch you as you drive there.

There’s Intelligent Quality of Service tech inside too, which can supposedly pick through your network traffic and prioritize what it reckons is more important; so, your gaming connection shouldn’t lag just because someone else is copying some files across.</P><P>It’ll also work as a network extender, bridging your wireless connection into areas your existing router can’t quite reach.

Equipped with 802.11n technology, 2.4 GHz and 5GHz dual-band, for an enhanced media experience and a four-port Fast Ethernet switch, the DAP-1513 is ideal for connecting a wide range of network-ready devices for streaming HD videos, playing online games and sharing music, photos, movies, and more within a home network.</P><P>Featuring selectable dual-band to offer flexibility on how to best connect to the home network, the DAP-1513 can bridge a wireless signal from either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. Consumers can choose from the 5GHz band, ensuring smooth video streaming or online gaming with less interference, or the 2.4GHz band, ideal for surfing the Web or sharing photos. In addition, Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS) automatically organizes and prioritizes network traffic according to bandwidth needs to ensure a smooth connection over both wired and wireless networks.</P><P>“The Wireless N Dual Band MediaBridge allows consumers to quickly and easily expand their home wireless networks to connect PCs, game consoles, media players, and more without running any messy cables,” says Daniel Kelley, associate vice president of consumer marketing, D-Link North America. “And, dual-band connectivity makes it ideal for streaming HD video content, whether you’re watching your favorite shows or battling with friends in an online game.”</P><P>The DAP-1513 offers four Fast Ethernet 10/100 ports for fast wired connectivity, supports WPA™ and WPA2® security standards and features Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for push-button security and top-of-the-line encryption from possible Internet threats. And with 24-hour support for basic installation available seven days a week, it’s never been easier to expand a home network.</P><P>Availability and Pricing<BR>The DAP-1513 Wireless N Dual Band MediaBridge is now available for an MSRP of $119.99 (U.S.) and $99.99 (Canada) throughout D-Link’s vast network of retail and e-tail outlets in North America, including Fry’s and Micro Center, and at the company’s online store, http://www.dlinkshop.com.</P></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/QgdU9BQybk4/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-5059251389892158220?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-82540250361856833122011-05-26T21:06:00.000-07:002011-05-26T21:06:00.321-07:00 <P>Pioneer has just officially unveiled today a new in-car system called the AppRadio.

It features a 6.1-inch capacitive touchscreen with an iOS type of interface. It runs its official AppRadio app as well as third-party apps. It can even share the internet connection, stream music and video, or provide navigation via Google Maps. There are already several apps being developed for the system including from Inrix, MotionX GPS Drive, Rdio, and Pandora. </P><P>Additionally, the AppRadio can mirror some features of your iPhone or iPod, such that when connected, an adaptation of your i-device interface will be displayed on the AppRadio’s larger screen. Pioneer’s Dock Connector plug is easily accessible making it easy to plug in your i-device. The idea is to eventually make it so that you can connect your iPod or iPhone and throw it in the glove compartment and then be able to operate and navigate their interfaces via the larger AppRadio display. </P><P>To take advantage of the AppRadio’s full feature set you will need a fourth-generation iPod touch or an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 or above. The audio system is expected to arrive by late June and is priced at $500.</P><P>[via Electronista]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/BBK4_cD7Gjo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-8254025036185683312?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-26029418138263236962011-05-26T16:26:00.000-07:002011-05-26T16:26:00.362-07:00 <P>Sony has admitted that the Sony Ericsson Canadian eshop has been hacked, the latest in a growing number of embarrassing security lapses for the company.

Although the game will be online and is free to start playing, Ubisoft promises “rich graphical environments and maps, which rival the quality of those traditionallly seen only n retail games.” </P><P>The free-to-play format would mean that gamers can jump right in with no upfront cost and only have to pay real money for in-game virtual items that personalize or enhance the gameplay such as power-ups or weapons. Recently, Activision has also talked about releasing a free-to-play Call of Duty version for the Chinese market, where this type of game model is very popular. </P><P>The beta version of Ghost Recon Online is set to begin within the next few months. You can take a look at the trailer below and sign up at their official website. But do let us know what you think after watching the trailer before you head over there. </P><P>[via 1UP]</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/2xV2YXT2Xlw/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-5540518071384992506?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-63841995978237323182011-05-26T06:56:00.000-07:002011-05-26T06:56:00.198-07:00By <a href="about:www.engadget.com/editor/richard-lawler">Richard lawler</a> <a href="about:www.engadget.com/editor/richard-lawler/rss.xml"><img border="0" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//writerrss.gif"></a> published on May 21, 2011 7: 33 PM <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/21/googles-blocking-android-market-movie-rentals-on-rooted-devices/"><img src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//youtubemovies2-1306020590.jpg"></a>rooting your Motorola Xoom did not prevent him from an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/06/motorola-will-upgrade-your-xoom-to-4g-lte-even-if-youve-root/">LTE hardware upgrade</a>, but it will produce up to a roadblock if you are trying to watch rented movies of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/android-market-launches-movie-rentals-thousands-of-titles-avail/">YouTube / Android Market</a>.

This event, given the brands attached to it, will certainly play host to a new device manufactured by Motorola and carried by Sprint – but that’s all we know. We can certainly make some educated guesses, on the other hand, and several guesses as to what we’ll be seeing is just what we happen to have. First of all, it’s been said that a re-branding of the DROID X2 is on the way with the name Photon 4G attached to it, carried by Sprint. Seem reasonable?</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154222" title=mondrian alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//mondrian.png" width=580 height=429></P><P>Another idea that we’ve been tipped off too is one where this device is an ATRIX 4G-like device but with better dock accessories. How the dock could be any more high-quality than the ATRIX 4G has is beyond me, but I personally must guess and point out that the DROID X2 is able to use all of the DROID X’s accessories already, pointing toward a much more vast selection than most phones have out of the box. A third item that might be obvious to you already is that the invite itself recalls a Piet Mondrian painting. Squares of color intersected by black lines for pop-art magic. What does this mean for the phone? Perhaps nothing, but maybe a name.</P><P>How about Motorola Mondrian? Maybe the Sprint POP 4G. I like both of those – seem possible to you? We’ll be at this event right alongside Android Community to bring you the news first, everything you need to know about said event and whatever happens to be announced at it. Cant wait!</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/57VhgkCjZ-8/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-6404090282960853409?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-63524660977444389412011-05-26T03:11:00.000-07:002011-05-26T03:11:00.656-07:00 <p>Now that we have launched ' em out of the track, use the following form to get in touch with the people of Engadget.

According to DigiTimes‘ sources, Acer discovered that “many” of the Honeycomb-specific apps were incompatible with the 7-inch A100; meanwhile, the Iconia Smart 5-inch smartphone has also been delayed, it’s suggested.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154160" title=Acer-ICONIA-TAB-A100-558x500 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Acer-ICONIA-TAB-A100-558x5001.jpg" width=558 height=500></P><P>Honeycomb-specific apps themselves are a relative rarity in the Android Market today, and so launching a product that could only run a subsection of that subsection could have seen Acer’s slate undermined out of the gate. Instead, the company has apparently decided to hold off on the A100 until August or September 2011, when Google has had a chance to turn its attention to addressing the outstanding issues.</P><P>As for the Iconia Smart, the oversized Android phone was meant to hit shelves sometime this month, but will now arrive in July. That’s down to component shortages as a result of the Japanese earthquake, the supply chain sources suggest.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/qyDgLcYLL6E/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-1893523685230763113?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-28449552104381557782011-05-25T22:36:00.000-07:002011-05-25T22:36:00.347-07:00By <a href="about:www.engadget.com/editor/dana-wollman">Dana wollman</a><a href="about:www.engadget.com/editor/dana-wollman/rss.xml"><img border="0" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//writerrss.gif"></a> published on May 22, 2011 5: 48 AM <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/22/apple-patent-application-reveals-an-lcd-with-switchable-privacy/"><img border="1" hspace="4" vspace="4" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//apple-privacy-lcd.jpg"></a>no hate when the guy next to you on the subway is looking over your shoulder, watching screw up in fruit Ninja?

According to the presentation, the screen would include address liquid crystal material modules, which are intended to dispersion modules called that sit on them.

There is no word, of course, when or if Apple will ensure this patent, and if so, what devices could incorporate these screens. Us we are only seeing this concept now made public, but it seems that consumers could use this even more today than in the fall of ' 09, when all they had to worry about was a strange cross-eyed on your screen of 3.5 inches of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/3gS/">the 3GS</a> .<br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/22/apple-patent-application-reveals-an-lcd-with-switchable-privacy/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-2844955210438155778?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-25122870264847724112011-05-25T21:13:00.000-07:002011-05-25T21:13:00.265-07:00 <P>That’s this month! They’d better get them out the door if they expect them to make good on their word, and by they I of course mean SOUL by Ludacris. This is a series of headphones and earbuds right along the same lines as Beats by Dre and the now-defunct Sleek by 50. What we’re looking at hear is three different models of headphone, two different models of earbud, all of them in conservative, muted tones like white, black, gray, and a few rogues like bright red, blue, and the most excellent gold-plated SL300s.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154300" title="Screen shot 2011-05-25 at 5.05.33 PM" alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//Screen-shot-2011-05-25-at-50533-PM-580x118.png" width=580 height=118></P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154301" title=image001 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//image001.jpg" width=576 height=100></P><P>Lets talk about these gold-plated phones first, shall we? They’re the Signeo USA: SOUL by Ludacris SL300, and their called “high-definition, noise canceling headphones that combine sleek style with professional sound.” The reason you should be interested in this particular pair is that they cost $299 USD and feature gold-plated connectors. Fresh and wild! They’ve also got an over-the-ear design, advanced, breathable pad and ear cups, and have standard and iPhone detachable cords with in-line remote included. Also they come with a protective case door travel.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154302" title=image002 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//image002.jpg" width=576 height=100></P><P>Next are the red and blues, the Signeo USA: SOUL by Ludacris SL100, “high -definition on-ear headphones deliver big sound with stylish urban aesthetics.” These also have a breathable headband pad, standard and iPhone detachable cords with in-line remote, and come with a case. And what’s this? They come with gold-plated connectors as well! These SL100 phones ring in at $149 USD.</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154303" title=image003 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//image003.jpg" width=576 height=100></P><P>The white over-ears are the Signeo USA: SOUL by Ludacris SL150 set, “High-definition on-ear headphones boast professional sound, distinct personal style” like the last set, the same specs are present. It seems that the difference between each of these sets is the aesthetic really, the industrial design shaping its way around your head. SL150s cost $199. Also yes, gold plated connectors!</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154304" title=image004 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//image004.jpg" width=376 height=138></P><P>Finally there’s a couple sets of earbuds, one named SL99 with a price of $99, the other called SL49 with a price of $69. Each of these has tangle-resistant cables, hard protective shell case for travel, and gold-plated connectors for seamless signal transfer. </P><P>Check out the full family over at http://www.soulbyludacris.com/</P><P><IMG class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154307" title=ces-2009monster_cable_ludacris_7368-480x319 alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com//ces-2009monstercableludacris7368-480x319.jpg" width=480 height=319></P><P>BONUS: did you know that our man in England mister Chris Davies had an interview with Ludacris for the album before the one he’s got coming out currently?

That will be 70m people with the potential for AT&T LTE service, and since they’ll need devices with which to access it, the carrier is saying that “some” of its 20 4G devices this year will support LTE as well as HSPA+.</P><P>The exact proportion is still unknown, as are the handset OEMs AT&T is working with, but we’re guessing that just as we’ve seen Verizon launch phones from HTC, Samsung and – soon – LG, those companies will be equally happy to help AT&T out too.

TWC asserts that it cannot compete with ISP backed by the contributor, such as the green light of Wilson, NC - and that should not have that. In fact, green light, and four other municipal suppliers arose because corporate players refused to provide cheap and fast broadband. And now that local governments have demonstrated that they can offer, cable companies have cried foul, pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the pockets of politicians selected all the time. It is the drama so far, and now a draft law that restricts the municipal broadband - requiring that providers pay taxes similar to private companies, for example - has landed on the desk of Governor Bev Perdue. She did not veto the Bill, which means will soon become a law; by what is worthwhile (read: not much), she also refuses to sign it. The reason? Here it is from the mouth of the horse:<blockquote readability="6"><p>I did not sign or veto this Bill. Instead, I would ask the General Assembly to examine this issue and adopt standards that not only promotion equity but also allow the largest number of high-quality and affordable broadband to consumers options.</p></blockquote>The legislation appears to be a coup against public ISPs in a country that occupies the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/21/us-lags-in-broadband-adoption-and-download-speeds-still-has-the/">ninth in the world</a> for the adoption of broadband and download speeds.

And at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/googleio2011">Google I/O</a>, the company of their shared development some large: 100 million enabled devices with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-reaches-100-millionth-android-activation-400-000-android/">400,000 is added every day</a>. However, as in many games, different players may reach or exceed each other at different points. Just ask <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-and-microsoft-enter-strategic-alliance-on-windows-phone-b/">Nokia</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/editorial-rim-weve-been-here-before/">RIM</a>. To stay on top, operating system vendors implement strategies to lock users in. Consumers from more money sink in iPhone apps, for example, the incentive would have to be with that platform; the same is true for accessories that use the dock connector of 30-pin Apple that has existed since the third generation iPod.<p>Android have become the OS main vendor of smartphone that grants licenses to your operating system with the notable exception of Nokia (who almost did), Google demonstrated that it is intended to not only move Android in other devices with sufficient computing power as tablets andeach once again, TV sets, but now has his sights set on almost everything that you can not run Android feed directly on it. Google is taking two approaches: one for the things that connect Android devices and other things that do not.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-announces-android-open-accessory-standard-arduino-based/">accessory Android open</a> platform aims to match, if they should not override the wide range of accessories that have emerged around 30-pin Apple that began as a simple way to provide a load and audio. On the one hand, unlike Apple, Google is building its accessory platform in the almost ubiquitous USB connector. Perhaps more importantly, without any special connector to license, is not charging to companies for use of the protocols of accessories. This should omen to add Android support to peripherals to the traditional to the emerging as several monitors health and <a href="http://terfaces-with-nexus-s-makes-fitness/">exercise bike at Google I/O</a>. On the other hand, the wide variation of where is placed the connector can do difficult things for peripherals that depend on a physical device positioning as a speaker and car. (There have been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/15/did-ios-4-1-introduce-in-car-usb-playback-problems-for-you/">problems</a> with 30-pin products also as Apple has changed the size, power criteria and authentication over the years.)</p><img id="vimage_4153098" border="1" hspace="4" vspace="4" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//android-army-io.jpg"><br>Meeting these challenges, however, is child's play compared to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/editorial-android-home-is-the-best-worst-thing-that-could-happe/">Android@Home</a>, seeking to capture one of the most elusive challenges in consumer technology: the adoption of home automation. Through a new standard of illumination of low power consumption, developed by Google, radio can be embedded <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/lighting-science-demos-android-home-bulbs-promises-dead-simpl/+">within bulbs</a> themselves without adding significant costs, potentially avoiding the need for electricians install them in wall switches. Philips Semiconductors demonstrated also outside such a small radio. While this represents a milestone towards the adoption of consumer, cost, complexity, low awareness and standards of home automation market notoriously fractured they have defended among technology cool and save money and massive adoption. Now what's more, while we have heard talk of utilities energy offers automation based on Zigbee in homes through smart meters for years, they seem to be the interest of other suppliers of services, with Verizon <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/hands-on-with-verizons-home-control/">announcing</a> that used standard rival Z-ola of intelligent energy and home automation service. ADT and Vivint security services providers also support Z-Wave.<p>While the accessory Android open platform is a natural extension, Android@Home is Google in territory where there has been no successful standard model and any model pioneer as the iPhone to reset expectations. Bring home automation to the masses will require an ecosystem at least as strong as the around of Android own development.</p><img src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//aoloriginal.gif"> <br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/22/switched-on-adding-to-androids-army/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-8072325665770939139?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-26660617435483142102011-05-23T13:20:00.000-07:002011-05-23T13:20:00.215-07:00 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/21/bookeen-does-real-time-web-browsing-and-scrolling-on-standard-e/"><img alt="Bookeen Browsing on E-Ink" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//5-20-2011bookeenbrowsing.jpg"></a>Bookeen has already prompted us with a screen of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/einkpearl">Pearl of ink and</a> butchered reproduction of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/bookeen-shows-off-fmv-on-a-standard-e-ink-pearl-display-video/">chubby bunnies clips</a> without so much as a hicup, is now showing on web browsing and scrolling on the screen.

In fact, we do not believe that CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt is particularly extreme in any definable way, however, this last week spoke with taste, handrails against the proposed law IP protection, which was designed to "prevent threats online economic creativity and intellectual property theft". If it becomes law, it would give the Government the right to turn off any "website dedicated to illegal activities" - "illegal activities", still largely type allowing friend download author point (b) of the guy (c) when it is not clear whether guy c also has legal rights to b in the first place.<p>So, you know, is aimed at the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/piratebay">pirate bay</a> and its ilk, giving to the higher government officials be able to sweep in and entangled in the domains of such sites. Schmidt calls this approach to a set of "solutions arbitrarily simple to complex problems" which "sets a very bad precedent". The precedent? That is good for democratic Governments go to kill any site who does not like, something Schmidt said only encourage restrictive policies in countries such as China. Although I do not think that China really need any encouragement to continue building on its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/greatfirewall">great firewall</a>, we tend to that this is a much more complicated problem that the law does agree. That being said, there are which would admit that the comments made by Schmidt necessarily something are attracted by the knowledge that any law of this type also have a negative impact in the business of search engines in general.</p><p>But of course that no such volley of words might go unanswered two brilliant gentlemen of protection of rights of author, the MPAA and the RIAA, that mounted to their corporate blogs, rode down two castles full of lawyers and collectively said Schmidt that it is full of it. The MPAA spun comments by Schmidt in some kind of Act of civil disobedience, saying that "Google seems to think that it is above the laws of the United States". Meanwhile, the RIAA called the statement "the one confusing step backward by one of the most influential internet companies."

The company first filed in November 2010 in Jamaica, followed in February this year to ensure the rights to the name in Canada, before registering similar claims in Europe, China and now the United States. This raises some interesting questions about the claim by Intel to be owner of the exclusive brand (see the link of coverage more) and whether or not other companies might use the mark of Ray. Intrigued, we have done a little digging and you will find what we found after the break.<p>We speak with Intel, and it is that as part of its collaboration in Thunderbolt Apple presented the initial trademark applications before they are transferred to Chipzilla. Therefore, there are no concerns about this being an exclusive on the brand of Cupertino. The connector will be known as Ray in all platforms provided that it meets certain basic requirements. As Intel Dave Salvator told us, "a Thunderbolt application need to use the controller chip and the connector of the lightning". This means that if Sony is in fact <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/sonys-thunderbolt-implementation-hiding-in-plain-site-uses-usb/">through a USB port</a>, rather than jack Mini DisplayPort-as in MacBook Pros, then you have to find another name for its high-speed peripheral interface. That's not to say that he could not made compatible with a simple adapter, after all is only PCI Express in the form of cable. But, it seems, not could be called Thunderbolt.</p><img id="vimage_4152329" alt="Vaio " src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//5-20-2011ultimate-mobile-pc-thunderbolt-arrow.jpg"><br>While the beam requires a set of chips, for now, exclusively composed of Intel, there is nothing to prevent the integration in their products from other manufacturers. This is good news, especially for AMD fans fears which were to be left out. In the future the Santa Clara-based company can bring others into the fold will exceed the demand of the market its manufacturing capabilities.<p>For now it seems to be much of a reason for concern about the fragmentation of Android-style of the platform of Ray. In fact, Intel expects to see the brand in "many places in principles of 2012", but there does not seem to have room for others to obscure the standard.

Last product of the Tachyon, Tachyon and PAHO PAHO HD, will be available this summer. The line of the PAHO Tachyon was designed from the outset, with the desire to create the best helmet cameras in mind.</p><p>The PAHO weighs only one ounce and measures only 950 mm of width and height and it is 2.252 inches in length. The PAHO HD is only slightly larger. PAHO cameras also have a patented system of 8 tracks of installation that gives the user an incomparable range of mounting positions. The camera can face forward or backward, toward the user and it can also rotate in their productions from 12 to 9-6 to 3 o'clock positions. This lets the user place the camera correctly, so it can shoot from any direction.</p><p>The camera could not be easier to use. You are ready to go to the right of the box and has a simple operation, a button. The cameras also are plug-and-play with a PC or a Mac.</p><p>The line of the PAHO comes equipped with three standard mounts: mounting of a clip with multiple angles of rotation. This setup is perfect for caps and belts and necklaces. A montage of contour, mounted on curved surfaces, such as motorcycle or bicycle helmets. And a standard tripod that connects to any<br>quarter-20 inch universal tripod screw.</p><p>For more extreme activities, such as paintball airsoft and ride around dust and gravel, the PAHO comes with a very durable piece of armor of impact of transparent plastic, which adapts perfectly to the camera and montage.</p><p>Additional GunCam mounts are intended for hunters and other gun sports fans. It's a patented 8-direction Picatinny rail mounting, three lanes of shotgun and scope and a railroad of rifle. Mount Picatinny rail of alloy of zinc and Rails allow mounting the PAHO for handguns, rifles, shotguns and assault rifles, without any modification to the gun safe.</p><p>PAHO cameras recorded about two hours of video on a 8 GB Micro SD card. They have a built-in<br>Rechargeable Li-ion which is perfect for filming in extreme temperatures. They feature a light sensor of high dynamics with higher light collection of ability which makes them ideal for low light and shooting indoor situations.</p><p>"We design our products with the specific needs of our customers in mind," said John Chase, Director of sales of Tachyon, Inc. "the cameras are virtually ingrávidas and the eight directional Monte is innovative." "GunCam accessories are a Hunter's dream."</p><p>To go along with the small size and light weight, the prices of the OPS are small and also in the light. The standard package of PAHO is $99.99 and the HD package is $149.99. Any aspiring filmmakers from action movies can now easy and affordable recording and sharing your videos. PAHO cameras will be available this summer.

If you recall, Sony held what can only be described as a press event Japan emergency a week ago to issue a number of guarantees on the resumption of the service, which refers to the PlayStation Network and Qriocity. Seven days later, things are still as dead as they were pre-Cinco in May. This evening, Director Senior of the company's Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold punches to a quick update so that the world know that you can actually leave the House and find something else to entertain at ' em, like it or not, PSN is not getting back online today. The reason? On 1 may, Sony was apparently "aware of the magnitude of the attack on the servers, Sony Online Entertainment", and now, which is spinning the wheels in order to restore security in the network and "ensure" that the user data are safe. Mr. Seybold seems to understand that you are too anxious about getting back in the swing of things, and that even going so far to ask his confidence that Sony making "all [that] you can" to get lights blinking once again. Oh, and if you plan to visit this link of origin only to find the new ETA... not. Sony plans to "as soon as you" update to.<p>[Thanks, Alex]</p><img alt="web coverage" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//postlabelwebcoverage.gif"><br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/07/sony-misses-promised-playstation-network-and-qriocity-restoratio/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-4897723173697728702?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-49065154497193663312011-05-16T13:24:00.000-07:002011-05-16T13:24:00.549-07:00Sean Buckley <img border="0" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//writerrss.gif"> published on May 7, 2011 11 <img border="1" hspace="4" alt="" vspace="4" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//microsdatardrive05062011.jpg">that he is not looking for a retro microSD card reader, you are looking for a disk drive serial of Atari-compatible resulting use microSD instead of 5.25-inch diskettes.

Below represents a model 3D, graphics overlays and spits a map in Google Earth-style. What is with this 4 d business? Thus, its developers claim that users can easily view the progression of any model through the implementation of its probe of Sensefly when appropriate, throwing the additional level of time mixing. You can see the fruits of the work of Pix4D in the video after the break.<br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/07/pix4d-turns-your-2d-aerial-photographs-into-3d-maps-on-the-fly/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-6862660180963085129?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-3009365002002500242011-05-16T01:41:00.000-07:002011-05-16T01:41:00.943-07:00 <img border="0" hspace="4" alt="" vspace="4" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//grits-robot-configuration.jpg">Here is hoping that there is more than a few marches of permanent military style between us and a full Robotics acquisition.

The latest to cut example comes courtesy of none other than Microsoft, who recently received a patent for what they described as a "method and apparatus to provide a gallery of three-dimensional task team interface". In other words, it is an interface that is intended to help you better manage multiple tasks, what the patent suggests that it could take place in an environment 3D with a floor, walls and a roof. Apparently, would be able to group multiple Windows in several places in the "room", which would allow it to rely on its spatial memory to easily find a specific task - with the room to get more and more deeply to accommodate more tasks. In the claims of the patent, the only means for moving around the room is a set of icons that are adjusted to accommodate the 3D environment, although it certainly seems that it could be easily adapted to accommodate gesture controls.

Just this month, the chipmaker announced that the platform made up nearly half its notebook shipments, and no doubt contributed heavily to its $1.61 billion in Q1 revenues. In the past four months, we've seen its superior integrated graphics working on a slew of smaller machines, but it seems Fusion wanted more. <P>Back in January, Toshiba announced that it would bring the E-240 APU to a 15.6-inch budget notebook, and just a few weeks later MSI followed suit with its own announcement, saying it planned to put a Zacate E-350 APU, incorporating Radeon HD 6310 graphics, in its CR650. We've spent some time with Lenovo's ThinkPad X120e and HP's Pavilion dm1z, both sporting 11.6-inch screens and E-350 APUs, but we've yet to experience the force of Fusion on a larger device. Naturally, when the opportunity presented itself, we jumped on the chance to find out how a big rig like the CR650 would stack up against its dainty predecessors. Will Fusion's wonder chip offer the same performance in a $500, 15.6-inch laptop? Or will it fail to bring its beastly force to a big budget machine? Hop on past the break to find out.<BR></P><BR><BR><IMG id=vimage_4101074 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//engmsicr650look.jpg">Right out of the lime green box, the CR650 comes across as a rather imposing machine. Weighing in at 5.3 pounds and measuring 15 x 9.8 x 1.4 inches, it's actually pretty standard compared to similarly appointed devices, but there's something deceiving about its proportions. Let's just say, in this case, black is not</EM> a slimming color. Unfortunately, MSI decided to couple this bulky design with a glossy coating -- a practice we've grown mighty tired of. It does have a subtle, sparkly grid pattern beneath that shiny coating, but with the finish as-is, an added layer of fingerprints can obscure the stylish touch. That pattern is continued on the interior, approaching the base of the island-style keyboard, adding a little extra flavor under the hood. <P>Speaking of hoods, this one's especially sticky -- the stiff hinges kept the screen propped up at any angle, but made it unnecessarily difficult to open. The big-boy body is flanked on either side by multiple points of connection: the right side features a DVD burner, USB, VGA, and Ethernet ports, and on the left side you'll find mic and headphone jacks, HDMI, two more USB ports, and a heat vent. An SD card reader can be found tucked discreetly beneath the front lip.</P><BR><IMG id=vimage_4101075 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//engmsicr650keyboard.jpg">As we've come to expect from an MSI machine, the CR650 packs a perfectly suitable chiclet keyboard, but this one's got a few extra bells and whistles -- most of which we could do without. The keys themselves, which have a very slight curvature and a nice bounce, provide for comfortable typing most of the time. It was the positioning of those keys, however, that gave us some problems. We were happy to find a dedicated number pad, but since we don't do a whole lot of one-handed calculating, we would have been even happier if they'd used the extra space to spread things out. In particular, the right shift key is cut in about half, which caused us to miss our mark on a number of occasions. We found it took a couple of days to get used to the closeness, and even then, our typo count was way above average. Just above the keyboard sit a number of dedicated keys that offer shortcuts for battery settings, powering down, and accessing media files. While we're all for easy access, we would at least liked to have seen dedicated volume controls, instead of having them relegated to the arrow keys. <P>We found the textured touchpad made for easy multitouch control -- despite its comparatively small dimensions -- but hitting the mouse bar was another story. The black glossy strip is clearly distinguished from the rest of the touchpad, but the lack of separation between right and left controls proved a bit frustrating. What's more, the bar was just plain stiff. We ended up hitting the dedicated touchpad kill-switch (just above the pad itself) and plugged in a USB mouse. That was fine when we were at our desk, but we ended up cursing the thing when we took it out for a cup of coffee. </P><P>In terms of display, the 1366 x 768-resolution screen provided for pretty crisp viewing up close -- a 1080p trailer for Thor</EM> looked nice and sharp, in fact. We experienced slight color distortion when the screen was tilted anywhere beyond just a tick back, but it didn't prove all that distracting or surprising, for that matter. The CR650 did, however, deliver decent horizontal viewing angles: the colors were only a tad washed out when viewed from a seat away. As is the case with most glossy displays, the CR650's screen was prone to a decent amount of glare, but, again, it wasn't a deal-breaker. The real shocker here came by way of the two SRS-powered speakers flanking the dedicated buttons above the keyboard. We were pleasantly surprised by the sound quality when we fired up WoW: Cataclysm</EM>, and equally impressed with what they did with Esquivell's psychedelic lounge sounds. We could clearly make out the lyrics to Aqua de Beber</EM> from two rooms away when we cranked it up to full blast. </P><BR><IMG id=vimage_4101076 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//engmsicr650performance.jpg">In the performance department, the CR650's 1.6GHz E-350 processor and 3GB of RAM fared pretty well against the other two Fusion rigs, but came up just a little short at the finish line. As you can see from the chart below, however, it didn't do so well when pitted against other laptops in its class. The CR650 pulled in 2315 on PCMarkVantage, falling 2469 behind the Intel Core i3 in Gateway's NV5933u, and even scored 372 less than the Intel Core 2 Duo in Dell's Vostro V13. None of this would have mattered if the CR650 lived up to the numbers, but after a week with us it was definitely the worse for wear. In fact, it became so herky jerky while running Skype, Notepad, Pidgin, and Firefox (with eight tabs open) simultaneously that we had to switch machines just to get a day's work done. Lenovo ThinkPad X120e (AMD Zacate E-350)HP Pavilion dm1z (AMD Zacate E-350) <STRONG><BR></STRONG>Gateway NV5933u (Intel Core i3-330M)Acer TimelineX 4820T (Intel Core i3-350M)Dell Vostro V13 (Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300)<STRONG> </STRONG></EM><BR>So, it failed to meet our workaday expectations, but we're not exactly easy on our machines, and Fusion's real appeal is in the graphics. As evidenced by the chart above, the CR650 beat out its netbook brethren by a small margin, schooled Intel's integrated HD graphics by about 500, and killed the GMA 4500MHD inside Dell's Vostro V13. But numbers are just numbers -- what really matters is how it performs in the real world. As far as picture quality is concerned, it handled 1080p video with ease and precision. We found it did become a bit stilted while streaming First Orbit</EM> from YouTube with other applications open, but it played uninterrupted when it only had Skype to contend with. Overall, it exceeded our expectations while playing high-res video -- it even made a low-res version of Raquel Welch Space Dance</EM> look good in full screen. <P>When we took a break for a little play, on the other hand, the CR650 proved its chops. We found our little gnome had a pretty smooth run through WoW: Cataclysm</EM> at native resolution, bringing in 26fps. Of course, that wasn't the case when we fired up Batman: Arkham Asylum</EM>. We had to take the resolution down a few notches to 800 x 600 to hit a solid 30fps, but that wasn't exactly astonishing. So the CR650 probably won't be any serious gamer's laptop of choice, but it suited our needs just fine. </P><BR><IMG id=vimage_4113045 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//msicr650-battery.jpg">If you ask MSI, one of the CR650's big selling points is battery life; the machine comes equipped with a dedicated button for selecting different energy modes via its proprietary Eco Engine power management system. The special setup lets you switch between gaming, movie, presentation, and office mode, but as is evidenced by the chart above, it's not exactly energy efficient when set to default. We suspected that it would fall behind the 11.6-inch Fusion netbooks, but were frankly astonished by the separation. This 15-incher only stayed juiced for three hours and ten minutes -- that's a difference of almost two hours when compared to the HP Pavilion dm1z and Lenovo ThinkPad X120e. Despite it's claims of efficiency, the CR650 only managed to run 35 minutes longer than its weakest competitor, Gateway's NV5933u. So it didn't live up to MSI's battery claims, but this big boy is</EM> nice and cool -- an attribute that can be credited to the side-facing vent. We spent a week with the thing, and never once suspected our future babies were in danger. <BR><IMG id=vimage_4101078 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//engmsicr650software.jpg">The CR650 comes with a pretty hefty array of software loaded on the Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) desktop. Alongside the ever-present Norton fare are a series of Magix media programs -- including Photo Manager, Video Easy, and Music Maker -- Nuance PDF Reader, and a handful of MSI-branded titles. Both the preloaded facial recognition program, EasyFace, and EasyViewer, a simple photo organizing and light editing tool, failed to live up to their names. EasyViewer was slow to load and even slower to perform any real tasks, and while we like the idea of logging on to our computer with a little face time, EasyFace isn't big on subtle changes. It failed to recognize our striking good looks when we ditched the glasses and parted our hair in the opposite direction. In fact, we found that even slight variations in lighting could throw the thing off. In the end, we ditched the facial recognition, opting for the standard password login instead. MSI's CameraRecorder was similarly disappointing, as the 720p camera produced grainy video with muddy colors. <P>The company did get one thing right in the software department, though, with the rather simple and useful S-Bar utility manager. The little blue star at the top of the screen acts as a more graphically driven Start Menu, with shortcuts to utility controls like the aforementioned Eco Engine and access to a handful of programs like EasyFace. For the most part, we avoided the little stellar icon, but more out of habit than indifference. </P><BR><IMG id=vimage_4113046 border=0 hspace=4 alt="" vspace=4 src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//msicr650-title3.jpg">As it turns out, size does matter -- at least in the case of the CR650. We were excited to see what a Fusion packing 15.6-inch system could muster, but ultimately found its performance puny by comparison. We're not entirely ready to write this one off, however, because despite a bulky body and occasionally clunky performance, MSI's latest laptop is light on the wallet. It's also a powerful player in the sound department, and follows through on its promise of superior graphics. If you're in the market for a low cost notebook that can play video like a pricier PC, then the $500 CR650 is probably a safe bet, but if it's a big machine that delivers big results you're looking for, then it might behoove you to hold out until Llano lands. <IMG src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//aoloriginal.gif"> <br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/06/msi-cr650-review/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-4421347006174102276?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-4457946600152862482011-05-15T05:22:00.000-07:002011-05-15T05:22:00.256-07:00By Michael Gorman <img border="0" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//writerrss.gif"> published on May 8, 2011 8: 11 AM <img border="1" hspace="4" alt="" vspace="4" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//5-6-11-earthrise-apollo-8.jpg">and ' know, there are only many beaches and spectacular slopes one can see before land tourism is indifferent.

You must get to check, and thanks to researchers at Norfolk, Virginia, there is an easier way to do so. The children of the daughters of the King's Hospital has developed a device the diameter of a chip of Poker that lies above the head of the patient; through the detection of the microwaves that produces all human tissues, calculate the temperature of the brain without the need for messy bursting of skull. The waves pass through the bone to give to physicians accurate, up-to-date results, which can help prevent brain damage due to overheating. A possible use of the technology is helping to hypoxic (lack of oxygen) infants which can be treated with therapy of cooling. Of course, probably can do with that old home remedy: just put a bag of carrots frozen in your head next time GlaDOS has him released.<br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/08/poker-chip-sized-device-non-invasively-measures-brain-temperatur/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-2241786064610520270?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-21092820721130636532011-05-13T04:00:00.000-07:002011-05-13T10:53:46.373-07:00By Ross Rubin <img border="0" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//writerrss.gif"> published on May 8, 2011 8: 30 PM each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology. <img src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//5-8-11-switched-on-1304898833.jpg">As much as their countries of origin, Apple and RIM share much in common, but the contrast in important ways. Both companies were among the few that produce their own software for their mobile phones. Apple, a pioneer of personal computing, sees the expansion of the market in smartphones. RIM, a pioneer of smartphone, sees the expansion of the mobile computing market. Looking at offer tablets, Apple has been just as firm in denouncing a 7-inch screen as RIM has been defending, the latter says that it is about creating a portable device with the Guide.<p>Apple designs products for consumers that have relevance to companies. RIM designs products for companies that have relevance for consumers. This also has been evident with the Guide, that it has taken the heat for its lack of native email and calendar options. RIM consciously put on hold because he wanted to appease the CIOs concerned about data theft, although it meant a launch product less attractive for consumers. Another parallel: RIM has suffered delays of AT & T in support of bridge, as Apple wrestled with AT & T tethering support on the iPhone.</p><br>In fact, when Steve Ballmer took the stage at BlackBerry World in Orlando, it brought back memories of a scene that leads out of pirate films of Silicon Valley, when Bill Gates appeared on screen in the Macworld Expo in 1997 to announce an agreement that would make Internet Explorer the default Mac browser. Fourteen years later, Google has replaced Netscape as a rival to Microsoft and the BlackBerry has become a prize of Bing.<br><br>Despite some errors and loss of significant market share, RIM is far from the State of the financial crisis that Apple was in the back. However, in both cases, the appearance of a CEO of Microsoft has been a sign of confidence in a platform that Microsoft competes. Do so, if Apple could throw own of what Steve Jobs has called his "near-death experience", RIM regain its luster lost too? He has hit a pothole on the road in the middle of a transition or is in free fall as Nokia was before your recent revision?<p>Apple has an advantage demonstrated in comparison with its neighbor to the North, and has been a keen sense of the moment. As the big cats which named its Mac operating systems, Apple has shown a strong pattern of attack in the industry at the right time. When the appropriate components are quite affordable, Apple wraps in a delicious layer of the user experience to drive mass adoption. RIM, meanwhile, has seen since growth from vanish challenge iPhone and its competitor mercenary Android.</p><img alt="" src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//tat-playbook-02-17-2011.jpg">However, one reason for optimism is the punch one-two procurement of RIM QNX, who manages the agile plumbing, low level of the BlackBerry Tablet OS, and TAT, which is to give the user interface RIM historically efficient but boring with a sense of imaginationfantasy, and exploration. We have seen the beginnings of RIM Assembly of these parts in shows such as the implementation of the Guide to scrapbooking and also in the renewal of the calculator workaday with flourishes such as see the history of calculation getting uprooted as a role of a harvest add computer. Here, RIM - like Apple - controls his own destiny. In contrast to the position of Nokia with Windows Phone 7, need not, for example, to maintain reigns in a direction of user interface to avoid disturbing coherence with competitors.<p>The challenge, as it was recognized several times in the world of BlackBerry, is time. The main components are there. RIM is now competing races to synthesize their acquisitions. You must create a competitive experience with space to grow through a series of their own core applications, those of its developers and, most importantly, expand from a platform of dual-core Tablet PC in a revitalized line of BlackBerry phones. The sand in the hourglass is the willingness of companies and clients of the company which RIM says still have strong demand for its products and the confidence in its approach.</p>Ross Rubin (@ rossrubin) is executive director of industry analysis of technology of consumption in market research and analysis firm NPD Group.

Rent from the largest selection of HD movies - many available the same day they come out on DVD. Watch Netflix titles instantly. Rent TV shows, commercial free in HD. And stream photos and music from your computer to your widescreen TV. The sleek new Apple TV has been completely retuned for your entertainment. It's 80 percent smaller than the previous generation - even with a built-in power supply. Which makes it perfect for sitting neatly on a widescreen TV stand or squeezing into a crowded media cabinet. Not only does the new Apple TV have an amazingly small footprint, it's also incredibly energy efficient. It stays cool without a fan, so it's never noisy. And when it's not filling your living room with drama, romance, and comedy, it uses less power than a night-light.<p><b>Price: </b>$99.00</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001FA1NK0/ref=nosim/httpebooksazb-20" title="Apple TV MC572LL/A (2010)" target="_blank"><b>Click here to buy from Amazon</b></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-2943932676838235641?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482042613077550905.post-70480766919692205922011-05-10T10:13:00.000-07:002011-05-10T10:13:00.272-07:00<img src="http://ionutro.my3gb.com/imagesfolder//41nWx2B1uF7L.jpg" alt="OtterBox Impact Case for iPhone 3G, 3GS (Black)"width="300" align="left" style="margin-right: 7px;" />Otterbox Impact Cell Phone Skin 1943-20.5 Cell Phone Cases<p><b>Price: </b>$19.95</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001KV2LK0/ref=nosim/httpebooksazb-20" title="OtterBox Impact Case for iPhone 3G, 3GS (Black)" target="_blank"><b>Click here to buy from Amazon</b></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4482042613077550905-7048076691969220592?l=gadgetssite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sandranoreply@blogger.com0
