iPod touch 4

With the recent refresh of Apple's iPod range, the iPod touch has undoubtedly asserted itself at the top of the tree. With the nano stripping down, there appears to be a hole in the middle of what was once Apple's MP3 player offering. The iPod touch is safe though and you can't help thinking that this is the one that Apple wants you to buy.

The business reasoning would be clear. All the hard work that has gone into refining the iOS interface is demonstrated here and Apple benefit not only from sales of music through the iTunes Store, but also their cut of app sales from the App Store, as well as movies. It works on the model of a little here, a little there, but most likely the iPod touch will be a continual trickle of income for Apple from the moment you buy it. 

Of course you might choose not to buy anything and only use free apps, but from that point of view, you are spoilt for choice. Some may say that the App Store is a closed shop, but it's well stocked. A pricy device it might be, starting at £189 for the 8GB version (a hike of £40 from last year) and rising to a staggering £329 for the 64GB (up £30), but you also get the best portable media player for your money.

Out of the box, the new iPod touch reflects the changes made recently to the iPhone 4, with a slimmer profile and the hint of a square design. The back is still stainless steel, with a slightly squarer profile than previously. The new touch is narrower overall and one of the changes has been to remove the way the casing wrapped around the edge in previous versions.

And we're not sure we like this change. Yes, to look at, the new iPod touch screen is now framed by only a thin silver border. This means that the edge is harder and less comfortable to hold. Whereas previous versions had a comfortable edge, the new iPod touch does not. Many, we suspect will use a cover, in which case this change will make little difference.

Otherwise the design remains more or less the same, with a single face button below the screen, a volume controller on the right-hand side and a standby button on the top. Again, the angular edges mean that these buttons now sit on a reverse slope, so they are more difficult to press than before. The inspiration behind this design is clear - minimalism. When looking at the face of the iPod touch you can't see these controls as they are now tucked away behind, but as a result, they are slightly less accessible.

Other points to note are the front-facing 640 x 480 pixel resolution camera above the screen and a camera in the rear corner, with a mic next to it. The resolution of this camera is undisclosed, and Apple didn't declare that it wasn't going to give you the same performance as the iPhone 4's camera when they unveiled the new model, but more on that later.

Across the bottom of the iPod touch we have the 3.5mm jack, dock connector and an external speaker.

Build quality is solid, as you'd expect and there is no doubting that the iPod touch is a very sexy device. It feels premium, it looks premium, but you'd demand that from the somewhat premium price that you pay for it. It now measures 111 x 58.9 x 7.2mm and weighs 101g.

Of course the most significant change from the previous iPod touch is the display. We didn’t hear previous iPod touch owners complaining about a lack of resolution, but this is a big step from 380 x 320 to a cracking 960 x 640 pixels. A lot has been said about this display from the iPhone 4 and you get all the benefits of the high pixel density here.

The result is that it can render incredibly fine text. You can head into a website and read the text where previously you'd have only seen fuzz. The limitation is no longer the screen so much as what your eyes pick out from the page. It's hugely impressive and a great step forward for mobile displays and we hope it will be a driver to pull the rest of the industry along with it.

APPLE iOS 5

Notification Center, you can keep track of them all in one convenient location. Just swipe down from the top of any screen to enter Notification Center. Choose which notifications you want to see. Even see a stock ticker and the current weather. New notifications appear briefly at the top of your screen, without interrupting what you’re doing. And the Lock screen displays notifications so you can act on them with just a swipe. Notification Center is the best way to stay on top of your life’s breaking news.

Read all about it. All in one place. iOS 5 organizes your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in Newsstand: a folder that lets you access your favorite publications quickly and easily. There’s also a new place on the App Store just for newspaper and magazine subscriptions. And you can get to it straight from Newsstand. New purchases go directly to your Newsstand folder. Then, as new issues become available, Newsstand automatically updates them in the background — complete with the latest covers. It’s kind of like having the paper delivered to your front door. Only better.

Next time you think to yourself, “Don’t forget to...,” just pull out your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and jot it down. Reminders lets you organize your life in to-do lists — complete with due dates and locations. Say you need to remember to pick up milk during your next grocery trip. Since Reminders can be location based, you’ll get an alert as soon as you pull into the supermarket parking lot. Reminders also works with iCal, Outlook, and iCloud, so changes you make update automatically on all your devices and calendars.

iOS 5 makes it even easier to tweet from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Sign in once in Settings, and suddenly you can tweet directly from Safari, Photos, Camera, YouTube, or Maps. Want to mention or @reply to a friend? Contacts applies your friends’ Twitter usernames and profile pictures. So you can start typing a name and iOS 5 does the rest. You can even add a location to any tweet, no matter which app you’re tweeting from.

Since your iPhone is always with you, it’s often the best way to capture those unexpected moments. That’s why you’ll love the new camera features in iOS 5. You can open the Camera app right from the Lock screen. Use grid lines, pinch-to-zoom gestures, and single-tap focus and exposure locks to compose a picture on the fly. Then press the volume-up button to snap your photo in the nick of time. If you have Photo Stream enabled in iCloud, your photos automatically download to all your other devices.

Your inbox is about to receive some great new features. Format text using bold, italic, or underlined fonts. Create indents in the text of your message. Drag to rearrange names in address fields. Flag important messages. Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly. If you’re looking for a specific email, you can now search in the body of messages. And with iCloud, you get a free email account that stays up to date on all your devices.

The iPhone 5 built for 4G is COMING in 2011!!

The all new iphone 5 release date of October 2011! NEW iPhone 5 or as some call it iPhone 4S review. Lots of speculation is going around on the new iPhone 5... in HD!! It will contain the newest Apple operating system for iPhone, the iOS 5.

Verizon Wireless has released a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 and is hoping to land the iphone 5! Also speculated as iphone 4S. Verizon confirms they are making network changes to bring the new iphone to their network. The new iPhone 5 is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat on 3g and 4g (no longer restricted to WiFi only), face recognition and extreme downloading. (List of possible features below). Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more and more technology comes out. And it is on the rise, and not just at Apple, Inc!

This iPhone 5 will be equipped with a speedy dual core A5 chip processor and higher more powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions (5-9 times better) and amazing "still" images when taking pictures, AND it will make multi-tasking a lot faster.

There are a few networks attempting to get their 4G network off the ground. T-mobile would be a likely carrier since they are GSM already and have the largest 4g network. Sprint has a 4G network already but is suffering from customer service.

They will definitely have the 3G version of iPhone, but with the new iPhone 5 (4g speeds) coming out, will they compete! Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T's lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on 4g network, not Wi-Fi).

AT&T's restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones to rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!...are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add's the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own...it is VERY automated.

iPhone 5 looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and finally less restrictions.Very exciting.

A few features of iPhone 5:

Thinner! With shiny glass back piece - 9.3 mm thick.

Face Recognition Security

Face Time (Video Chat) access on 3G AND 4G (available currently but only on 3G)

Custom SMS tones

Custom E-mail alerts with ability to assign different tones to each email address

A new, sleeker body design.

Improved Retna screen.

Scratch proof and shatter proof screen.

Wireless sync with iTunes.

32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out.

Extended battery life = 14 hours talk time on 3G and 7 hours on 4G. Standby 600 hours.

Hi Definition audio.

Messaging indicator light.

True GPS built in.

HTML5 but may allow Adobe Flash Player

LG Optimus 2X

If you’re looking for a high-end smartphone from 2degrees, the LG Optimus 2X is it. It’s New Zealand’s first dual-core smartphone – although we’re sure there will be a few more over the coming months – and 2degrees claims it’s the fastest smartphone in the country.

The Optimus 2X certainly is fast – we tested it with the Quadrant Standard benchmarking app, and it was nearly twice as speedy as the Google Nexus One running Android 2.2. The phone blazed along at an average of about 60 frames per second, and during one animation, it got up to 97fps. In terms of real world use, we didn’t notice a huge difference between the Optimus 2X and other high-end Android smartphones, but we can’t argue with the second highest benchmark result we’ve ever seen, next to the Samsung Galaxy S II.

While it’s nothing special in terms of form factor – your typical black, rectangular smartphone – the Optimus 2X is thin, light, and rather robust looking. It does have an aluminium strip down the back that acquired small scratches very quickly, though, just from being in the cellphone pocket of a purse.

Fortunately, the Optimus 2X is also feature-packed – it can act as a 3G wireless hotspot, has an HDMI output, records video at 1080p and includes a 4-inch display with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution. Between the big display and the high speeds, the 2X provides one of the best gaming and video-watching experiences we’ve seen on a smartphone. There’s no sluggishness here, even when games require a super-quick reaction time from the device.

It’s unfortunate that the Optimus 2X is only running Android 2.2, as 2.3 would make the whole experience even faster and cleaner than it already is. 2degrees tells us the 2X will be upgradable to 2.3 by October, at least, but by then Android 3.1 – the OS designed with both smartphones and tablets in mind – could be well on its way.

The 2X comes with LG’s own Facebook and Twitter apps installed, but we’re not sure they’re as good as the free, official apps you can download from the Android market. Fortunately it’s easy to delete them and replace them with the apps you want.

This might come as a surprise, but some people actually use their smartphones to make calls and send text messages. Call quality is great on the 2X, but texting can be a bit grating. For some strange reason, the full stop has been delegated to the symbols section of the on-screen keyboard, rather than being paired with the alphabet keys. Every time we put a full stop into a text message, we had to change screens and then change back again. Auto-correct is also not turned on by default, and is rather buried in the settings.

All in all, the LG Optimus 7Q is a fantastic phone, with only a couple of minor black marks against it. Some of the quirks of the UI are a bit annoying, and more importantly, the design is just a bit boring. It has to compete against the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II, and style-wise, the 2X doesn’t quite match up.

Samsung Galaxy S II

The Samsung Galaxy S II is 8.49mm (0.33 inches) thick. I whipped out a ruler and checked, it's true. Admittedly, that measurement expands a little at the handset's bottom, where a curvy bump houses its loudspeaker, and around the camera compartment, which protrudes ever so slightly from the rest of the body, but even at its thickest point, this phone doesn't allow itself to go beyond the 1cm mark. Given the veritable spec sheet overload that Samsung has included within the Galaxy S II, i consider its thin profile a stunning feat of engineering. In terms of the pursuit of the absolute slimmest device, NEC's MEDIAS N-04C is still the champ at 7.7mm, but global audiences should feel comfortable in replacing the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, which measures 8.7mm at its thinnest point, with the Galaxy S II for their benchmark slim device.

Returning to the screen, it's fronted by one continuous sheet of glass, which protects a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display along with a batch of sensors and a front-facing camera at the top, and two capacitive Android keys at the bottom. The earpiece and Home button are the only disruptions to the sleek glass surface. Whatever coating Samsung has applied to the Galaxy S II's screen works very well, as it resists smudges and fingerprint marks much better than the average smartphone. A volume rocker and a power / lock key each take up one side of the GSII, with a 3.5mm headphone jack adorning its top and a micro-USB charging / data port at the bottom. That's it, no frills, no extras, and -- to the dismay of some -- no dedicated camera shutter button. At least the controls you do get all work very well. The side-mounted buttons do their job without fuss and touchscreen responsiveness is impeccable. The Menu and Back keys are purely capacitive, whereas the Home button is, well, an actual button -- it requires you to physically depress it in order to register input. That distinction may feel a bit awkward at first, but we rather enjoyed it. It meant accidental key taps were all but impossible to achieve and gave a more definitive nature to punching the Home key, which somehow felt appropriate given the fact it yanks you out of whatever you're doing and back to the homescreen.

The Galaxy S II's screen is nothing short of spectacular. Blacks are impenetrable, colors pop out at you, and viewing angles are supreme. This would usually be the part where we'd point out that qHD (960 x 540) resolution is fast becoming the norm among top-tier smartphones and that the GSII's 800 x 480 is therefore a bit behind the curve, but frankly, we don't care. With a screen as beautiful as this, such things pale into insignificance. And we use that verb advisedly -- whereas the majority of LCDs quickly lose their luster when you tilt them away from center, color saturation and vibrancy on the Galaxy S II remain undiminished. It is only at extreme angles that you'll notice some discoloration, but that's only if you're looking for it and takes nothing away from the awe-inspiring experience of simply using this device.

Microsoft Releases Kinect for Windows SDK Beta for Academics and Enthusiasts

Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of Kinect™ for Windows® Software Development Kit (SDK) from Microsoft Research, a free beta release for noncommercial applications. The SDK is designed to empower a growing community of developers, academic researchers and enthusiasts to create new experiences that include depth sensing, human motion tracking, and voice and object recognition using Kinect technology on Windows 7. The Kinect for Windows SDK can be downloaded today at no cost for development of noncommercial applications at http://research.microsoft.com/kinectsdk.

The Kinect for Windows SDK, which works with Windows 7, includes drivers, rich APIs for Raw Sensor Streams, natural user interfaces, installer documents and resource materials. The SDK provides Kinect capabilities to developers building applications with C++, C# or Visual Basic® using Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010.

Features of the SDK include the following:

• Raw Sensor Streams. Developers have access to raw data streams from depth sensor, color camera sensor and the four-element microphone array. These will allow them to build upon the low-level streams generated by the Kinect sensor.

• Skeletal Tracking. The SDK has the capability to track the skeleton image of one or two people moving within the Kinect field of view, making it possible to create gesture-driven applications.

•

Advanced Audio Capabilities. Audio processing capabilities include sophisticated noise suppression and echo cancellation, beam formation to identify the current sound source, and integration with the Windows speech recognition API.

• Ease of installation. The SDK quickly installs in a standard way for Windows 7 with no complex configuration required and a complete installer size of less than 100 MB. Developers can get up and running in just a few minutes with a standard standalone Kinect sensor unit widely available at retail.

• Extensive documentation. The SDK includes more than 100 pages of high-quality technical documentation. In addition to built-in help files, the documentation includes detailed walkthroughs for most samples provided with the SDK.

Microsoft intends to release a commercial version of the SDK at a later date; details will be released when they are available. The conversation is on Twitter under the hashtag #Kinect_SDK.

Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

BlackBerry tablet — the PlayBook

It really has been a tablet-filled year. Not to be made irrelevant, Research in Motion has released the first BlackBerry tablet — the PlayBook. Funny it's named that since RIM describes it as "the world's first professional-grade tablet" and its market seems to be more corporate suit than entertainment. And fight well it shall in the corporate suit. The seven-inch screen form factor makes the device very "pocketable" and easy to carry around. Movies won't be as much fun on this but that's not what PlayBook is going for anyway.

The exterior is, unsurprisingly, all black. The back has a smooth matte finish and the front is adorned with a glossy screen surrounded by a thick bezel. The device feels sturdy yet classy. The bottom features the HDMI port, micro USB port and dock connector. The top has volume control buttons, play/pause button and the power button, the last being frustratingly difficult to press. Although it sounds minor, it may just be the biggest annoyance.

The device has two cameras — 5MP at the back and 3MP in front — and both are good. You can shoot full HD video with the rear-facing camera and the PlayBook does a decent job of it.

The width of the bezel would have been an annoyance on any other device, but RIM found a way to make it useful on the PlayBook as it is touch sensitive. You flick across the screen to activate certain menus.

The operating system is fantastic; menu transitions and application responsiveness are very quick. You can flick through the settings, photos and documents very quickly with practically no lag. The keyboard is great to type on, with a solid feedback system. Built on a new platform — the QNX — the PlayBook, in true BlackBerry fashion, does excellently what it does natively.

Unfortunately, it does even less than other BlackBerry devices. Lacking the BlackBerry Messenger, an e-mail client, calendar and even contact; the PlayBook is rather bare-boned on its own. These features can only be activated when paired with a BlackBerry phone using the BlackBerry Bridge application. That means the PlayBook is reliant on another device to be of any real use. RIM has said these applications are coming in a "future software update" so, hopefully, you won't be holding on to an outdated device.

The PlayBook does feature a suite of Office applications including document, presentation and slideshow creation and editing, besides a PDF viewer, all of which work extremely well.

But the battery life takes a beating when compared to other tablets on the market and will get you around seven hours, depending on your usage. Switch off the Wi-Fi and you can push it some more.

There aren't a lot of applications either, but RIM is working on that. Android applications will apparently be compatible on the PlayBook in the future, which should boost this number considerably.

So, for now, the PlayBook is a device with excellent hardware bundled with a mediocre and rushed software ecosystem. Die-hard BlackBerry users will find a special place in their heart for this but the rest should wait it out.
