Ride it---an awesome song by Jay Sean...

2012-01-08T06:51:00.000-08:00

(Let me feel you)
It's been about a month and twenty days
And we're going round and round playing silly games
Now you're saying, slow it down, not right now
Then you wink at me and walk away

Now, let it be, let it be, let it be known
Hold on, don't go
Touching and teasing me, telling me no
But this time I need to feel you

(Ride it)
We are all alone
(Ride it)
Just lose control
(Ride it, ride it)
Come touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)
Let me feel you

(Ride it)
Turn the lights down low
(Ride it)
From head to toe
(Ride it, ride it)
Touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)
Let me feel you

MoVida was the club on the Saturday
You're acting like a diva saying you don't wanna pay
It's gotta be your price to start, raise that brow
I love it when you look at me that way

Now when you order a Mohita at the bar
We applying lippy 'cause it came off from the glass
The DJ plays your favorite song, Kanye's on
Now you're backing in from me to dance

Hmm, pulling me, pulling me, pulling me close
You close your eyes, girl
Whispering, telling me we gotta go
Won't you take me home I wanna

(Ride it)
We are all alone
(Ride it)
Just lose control
(Ride it, ride it)
Come touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)
Baby, let me feel you

(Ride it)
Turn the lights down low
(Ride it)
From head to toe
(Ride it, ride it)
Touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)
Let me feel you

Everything was right until her phone begins to ring
She takes it to the corner, that's when I start wondering
I can hear her shouting, banging her fist against the door
Yelling it all over, I couldn't take it anymore

Then I walk away, and acting I want to go chill
I ain't trying to get caught up in a mess for real
But she came around and backed me up against the wall
She said I know you're hurt, but I'll make you forget it all

Baby, let me feel you

(Ride it)
We are all alone
(Ride it)
Just lose control
(Ride it, ride it)
Come, touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)
Baby, let me feel you

(Ride it)
Turn the lights down low
(Ride it)
From head to toe
(Ride it, ride it)
Touch my soul
(Ride it, ride it)

Let me feel you

New Nokia Lumia 800

2011-12-15T07:23:00.000-08:00

Form Factor
The Lumia 800 is built out of a single block of Polycarbonate plastic. Don’t let the ‘plastic’ part sway you as the handset is quite durable. It sustained quiet a few hard knocks and drops from about 2 feet without too much of scratching or any issues with functionality. The 3.7-inch, slightly raised gorilla glass display, although quite a fingerprint magnet, survived quite a bit of torture without giving in to scratches. So, in terms of durability and funky design form, the Lumia 800 is definitely high on our ranking. If the slippery shell doesn’t meet your fancy, worry not as Nokia has thrown in a rubberized case that makes it much easier to manage.

It’s the end of the year and Nokia has finally announced its “Piece de resistance” handset – the Lumia 800. It’s the first, of course in the series and is based on their MeeGo running N9 device only this one is, of course, running on the latest version of the Windows Phone 7 OS, which is Mango. We’ve already done a detailed preview of the handset where we outlined the kind of features it comes with, but here’s a closer look at the overall functionality.

Features and Performance Interface
Powered by a 1.4GHz Scorpion processor and running the Windows Phone Mango (7.5) OS, the Lumia 800 is a seriously speedy handset. When it comes to functionality, as limited as the OS itself may be, the Lumia 800 manages to do everything it’s capable of extremely well. WP7’s stripped down; visually simplistic user interface is what keeps most of their handsets, irrespective of processing power, running quite smoothly. The Tile and Hub set up is really what makes WP7 so attractive. Unfortunately for Nokia though, this fantastic piece of hardware can’t live up to its true potential that’s curtailed by the OS. The Linpak Benchmark test we subjected it to gave us a score of 49.3 Mflops, which is impressive as far as mobile handsets go. Multi-tasking was, of course, a non-issue.

Although WP7 is a user-friendly system, like we’ve said many times before, it’s still in its nascent stage and will require a considerable amount of tweaking before it can really give Android or iOS a run for their money. The few things about the Lumia 800 we took issue with, included the fact that Nokia has decided to go Micro SIM on us and also leave out the external memory support. Like the N8, the uni-body design translates to; should your phone hang, restarting it will not be as easy as it used to be. Thankfully, the Lumia 800 functioned without any “hang-ups”. But it seems like a - if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em - type of sentiment is at play here.

What we also noticed with the otherwise crystal clear display was that whites usually took on a slightly yellowish tone. This was especially noticeable on websites with white backgrounds. Other than that, visibility in broad daylight from any angle was top-notch.

Media
It was quite surprising to see that Nokia missed on including any audio enhancements for the 800 and that is a major downer. Audio quality was consistent with any other high-end smartphone, but it could have surely been better with a few options to personalize the output. We did find the decibel level a tad low, especially in crowded areas. The speaker phone was also a little too low for our comfort level. The built-in FM radio was just fine and even managed to pick up signals quite well on a daily commute through the city. Nokia has pre-installed TuneIn for Internet radio options as well.

Once again, we were plagued with the Zune menace, meaning we had to make sure that our videos were first compatible with the software, before it could take its own sweet time transferring to the handset. Once on the handset, the picture quality, Nokia’s Clear Black Display enriched the colors. 16Gigs of internal storage space is also quite a bit to keep media lovers fairly satisfied, even if they can’t extend it any further.

Its a awesome phone launched by Nokia. The android 7.5 operating system and 1.4GHz Scorpion processor make the phone attractive and smart. Try it now. In India its value Rs. 29,999 /- only. Book one by sending a message. Type LUMIA and send it to 53535. Nokia ever Rocks....

Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10

2011-08-26T00:30:00.000-07:00

Of the world's largest phone manufacturers, perhaps none has taken a more twisted road to smartphone ubiquity than Sony Ericsson. It began its journey back in the pre-joint venture Ericsson days by throwing its weight behind Symbian, a smartphone platform that would ultimately become the world's most popular -- but it made a fatal error in supporting the doomed UIQ flavor that never saw even a fraction of the support its S60 cousin did. UIQ's untimely (but predicted) collapse last year left the company nearly rudderless and ill-equipped to deal with competitors like Nokia, HTC, and Apple, all of whom had long since embraced other platforms -- all with fighting chances of market dominance.

Left without a platform to champion, Sony Ericsson would ultimately continue supporting Symbian through its involvement with the Symbian Foundation and phones like the Satio and Vivaz... and it would ramp up support for Windows Mobile with the Xperia X1 and X2... and it would bring Android into the fold with the X10, all within a few months of each other. All told, Sony Ericsson enters 2010 actively supporting three unrelated smartphone platforms, and comments by CEO Bert Norberg at MWC in February lead us to believe that they'd be happy to take on a fourth (or more) if the opportunity presented itself. It's an odd strategy to be sure, particularly for a company that's struggling mightily and shrinking its workforce more than any other top-five manufacturer. How it intends to effectively compete on three different fronts without spreading itself hopelessly thin, well... that remains a huge question mark.

That said, the Xperia X10 is perhaps the most promising of Sony Ericsson's confusing crop of modern smartphones, combining attractive hardware with killer specs, Android, and an intriguing custom skin. Does it hold its own against modern competitors like HTC's Nexus One and Desire? And more importantly, can it keep Sony Ericsson from going over the brink? Read on to find out.

Note: Sony Ericsson contacted us shortly after the review was published to let us know that this particular X10 is running pre-production firmware, which may account for some of the issues we had with keyboard performance and occasional sluggishness. Let's hope!

Hardware
Secondly, with a 4-inch full wide VGA display, the X10 is big, very nearly approaching HD2 territory. That's not a problem for this huge-handed reviewer, but friends with more diminutive statures specifically called out the X10 as being a hassle to hold (fortunately, the upcoming X10 mini should be just what the doctor ordered for those folks, at the cost of screen real estate and processor power). Around back, the X10's battery cover is made of a lovely, high-quality soft touch material that is pretty much exactly what we like to find on the back of every phone we review. It feels nice, and the gentle, sloping curves make sure it's comfortable to hold. The phone clocks in at 13mm thick, not the thinnest on the market (the HD2 is an astounding 11mm, for example) but thin enough to look and feel... well, pretty thin. No one's going to accuse this of being a portly device, rest assured.

Around the sides, you find all the buttons and connectors you expect, including power and both micro-USB and 3.5mm headphone jacks at the top, volume and two-stage camera controls on the right, and the typical menu, home, and back buttons below the screen up front. The micro-USB port is covered with a flap, which improves the aesthetic appearance of the upper edge of the device but probably serves little practical function (we've seen micro-USB ports behave just fine with some pretty extreme lint packed in there), makes the daily task of charging more of a chore than it needs to be, and risks being broken off with repetitive use. There's no indication of a dock connector anywhere on the phone, so unless there's some inductive capability that Sony Ericsson has yet to discuss, that port will be the one and only way of juicing your phone day in and day out.

Notably absent is a dedicated search button, which might leave some existing Android owners upgrading to the X10 feeling like a fish out of water -- it's not that there aren't other ways to access search bars throughout the phone, naturally, but we could definitely understand missing one-press access to them. Adding to the potential for confusion is a silkscreened magnifying glass icon below the volume rocker, which makes it look like you might be able to press and hold the volume down button to get a search bar, but no -- it's actually indicating that the rocker doubles as a zoom control (which, admittedly, is a perfectly valid alternative use of the magnifying glass).

Software
The X10 isn't just an Android phone -- it's also the first to introduce Sony Ericsson's rather comprehensive Android skin, a package we'd first heard of in the middle of last year under the codename "Rachael." Unfortunately, it's taken the company so long to get Rachael good enough to launch that we're now two releases of the Android core beyond where the X10 stands; this phone comes with 1.6 out of the box, while devices like the Nexus One, Droid / Milestone, and Legend are putting along on 2.1, and we've no doubt that the next big version is just around the corner. Sony Ericsson has wisely committed to updating the phone on an ongoing basis, but it speaks to the same problem with which HTC and Motorola are already well-acquainted: when Google's iterating on its mobile platform at this breakneck pace, it's virtually impossible for the heavily-customized skins like Blur and Sense to keep pace.

That said, Android 1.6 (née Donut) is still a perfectly serviceable version of the platform, and Sony Ericsson has injected a few key modifications that make some of the benefits of 2.0 / 2.1 moot. The meat of these tweaks revolves around two applications, Timescape and Mediascape. Timescape starts by going down the same social aggregation path that Motorola has with Happenings and HTC with Friend Stream -- basically, a chronological timeline of your friends' status updates across Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace -- but keeps going by offering other timelines for other services within the phone (photos, SMS and MMS messages, emails, and so on). These timelines are presented in ultra-trippy 3D stacks that Sony Ericsson has coined "Splines," and once status updates have been properly loaded into memory, these so-called Splines perform pretty well -- they're slick and smooth as you flick them up and down with your finger. There's some pretty nasty initial jerkiness, though, if you haven't viewed Timescape in a while.

Speaking of jerkiness, the X10 suffers from the same issue that plagues the Nexus One: despite the blazingly fast 1GHz Snapdragon core that's aboard, portions of the interface feel barely quicker than a lowly 528MHz MSM7201A. Since we've seen similar issues on the Nexus One, we can't really chalk up the problems to Sony Ericsson's customizations, so we're not sure how or where to place the blame -- it's just inconsistent, even without having loaded any third-party apps. Things that seem like they'd be extraordinarily processor intensive (scrolling through a Timescape Spline, for instance) can be super fast, while a drop dead simple operation like opening a pop-up menu can momentarily bring the phone to a halt.

Anyway, back to the second part of Sony Ericsson's one-two punch: Mediascape. Anyone who's used any stock Android device -- 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, doesn't matter -- can tell you that the in-built music app is in desperate need of tender loving care, and these guys have given it just that. Basically, Mediascape is your one-stop shop for browsing music, videos, and photos on the device; there's also support for the company's PlayNow store, though we weren't able to test it (it still hasn't launched in the US, though it's available in a number of European markets). The app makes clever use of album art, presenting you with a list of recently-played and favorite tracks when you first start -- there's some Timescape integration as well, where you'll find the art in a Spline representing your chronological consumption of audio. Naturally, it's got support for a variety of browsing modes (album, artist, and so on), background playback, and everything else you'd expect from a basic music player. Well, almost everything -- as we'd mentioned in the hardware section of this review, we were a little underwhelmed with the X10's bass response over the headset, and we would've loved a graphic equalizer in here to help clear that up. No dice.

Keyboard input -- a pretty important topic, if you ask us -- was a surprisingly big problem on the X10. First off, you can't consistently use the back button to clear the keyboard like you can on virtually every other Android device we used -- here, it deletes everything in your current text field and keeps the keyboard up on the screen on occasion, thought we can't nail down the pattern of the behavior. Much, much more dangerous, though, is the fact that we're seeing all sorts of missed inputs. You'll press a letter (and you get the character pop-up, so you know the keyboard has registered it), and maybe somewhere between 2 and 3 percent of the time, it won't "take" -- it just won't go into your input box, which makes entering almost any text a maddening procedure. Virtual keyboards have enough difficulty as it is without something this egregious coming into play, and we're hoping it's a bug that Sony Ericsson can pin down and fix posthaste.

Nokia Astound: Affordable Android Alternative

2011-08-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

During the war of the latest smart phones, the one new warrior comes....

yeah.... Nokia Astound...

This is the Nokia's latest phone. It have a number of apps and it also based on android latest version. Here's some qualities of it.

Design

If the Astound looks familiar, it is because it is the T-Mobile branded version of the Nokia C7, an unlocked global Symbian phone. The two are very similar, but the Nokia Astound has a different color scheme with T-Mobile branding. It also has the most recent version of Symbian.

The Astound is quite attractive with a frost white and dark silver color scheme and slim profile at only 0.4-inches thick. It weighs a manageable 4.58 ounces and feels really comfortable in hand. On the face of the phone, you'll find the Send, End and Menu buttons, which are flush into the phone. In the top right corner, you'll see the 0.3-megapixel VGA front-facing camera for video chat and snapping self portraits. The left edge of the Astound is clean, but you'll find a camera shutter key, a lock/unlock switch (which I always appreciate), a dedicated voice recognition button and the volume rocker. The top of the phone houses the USB port, 3.5-mm headphone jack and the power button.

On the back, you'll find the 8-megapixel camera as well as the battery and microSD slots. I didn't like how buried the microSD card slot was on this phone; you have to remove the back as well as the battery to get to it. The SIM card slot is nicely labeled however.

The Astound has a bright 3.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 360-by-540 pixels, which is a bit smaller than the 4-inch and larger displays we've seen on the most recent crop of high-end smartphones. But I found it sufficient for browsing the Web, running various apps and watching YouTube clips. Since it is AMOLED, the display holds up pretty well in bright sunlight too and viewing angles are pretty good as well.

Symbian S3: Stale, but Functional

While the Astound might be attractive on the outside, Symbian is still, well, Symbian. Although it is a powerful and full-featured platform, its whole aesthetic feels dated and static compared to Android 2.3, Apple's iOS, and even the latest version of RIM's BlackBerry OS. This is the most recent version of Symbian S3 so you get a portrait QWERTY keyboard and an improved browser.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really dislike Symbian's typography. The boxy, small text just looks so late-1990s to me, and it isn't easy on the eyes. When Nokia announced the Symbian S3 revamp, I had hoped for cleaner, more modern-looking typography and aesthetically pleasing icons. But S3 looks more or less the same as the previous version with some tweaks and added features here and there.

As I mentioned, you now get a portrait and landscape QWERTY keyboard in S3. Both keyboards are a bit cramped, but you at least get the added benefit of Swype for the landscape keyboard. Unfortunately, the portrait keyboard does not have Swype support which I found sort of annoying since I use portrait mode for most of my typing.

You also get only three homescreens to work with. For some users, three may be enough to accommodate all the widgets they need, but I wanted more. The widgets are all of identical size, and they're rather large, so you don't have a lot of room to work with. If you want to add a shortcut to an app on your homescreen, you must open the "shortcuts" widget; you can add a total of four icons on there. The process is a lot more complicated than Android's system of adding a widget or shortcut simply by holding down the touchscreen.

Arranging widgets is a bit of a pain as well. You can't move a widget between homescreens; instead, you have to delete it from one homepage and then add it to another. Moving widgets around on the same homepage is a simple matter of holding and dragging it to the desired place.

S3 does introduce some improvements over older Symbian versions, such as multitouch in the browser and photo gallery (at last!), a navigation system that requires fewer taps, and a simpler multitasking system. Also, when you press the battery icon in the homescreen, a window pops up to display available Wi-Fi connections, USB connections, and a bigger clock that you can use to adjust the time or set an alarm.

Despite these tweaks, Symbian S3 feels outdated and overly complicated in comparison to the Android OS and iOS. Simple tasks--such as adding shortcuts to your homepage--are more difficult to perform than they should be.

E-mail, Browser and Multimedia

The Symbian S3 e-mail client is pretty basic and gets the job done, but if you're a Gmail user, you'll obviously prefer Android's client (or even iOS) to the Symbian e-mail system. Setting up your Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail accounts is as simple as plugging in a username and password.

The spruced up S3 browser gives you tabbed browsing (international readers take note: the Nokia C7 does not have this version of S3), which is always useful. But the S3 browser doesn't hold against competitor browsers, like the Android stock browser. Scrolling can be a bit of a pain (it is kind of choppy) and the browser renders images slowly. The bright spot is that you can download an alternative browser, like Opera 11, which performed much better on the Astound in my hands-on tests.

The music player has a nice Cover Flow-esque interface when you're sifting throw you music library, but once you're in the Now Playing mode, you get a static screen showing album covers, track information and player controls. Audio quality sounded pretty good, though it wasn't mind-blowing.

Videos looked great on the Astound's sharp AMOLED display. If you're used to a display over 4-inches, however, the Astound's 3.5-incher might seem a bit cramped. YouTube videos played back smoothly as did the high definition videos I loaded on the device.

Camera

An 8-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash seems promising, but I was disappointed to learn that the Astound has no auto-focus. This isn't a big deal if you're taking photos of landscapes or a group of people. If you're focusing on a single person or object, however, your photos don't turn out very sharp. Pictures taken outside looked pretty good, but I had a hard time steadying the camera when I was on-the-go so my photos turned out a bit blurry. This was an instance autofocus could have really helped with image quality.

The camcorder can capture 720p (HD) video and my test clips looked pretty decent. Image quality could be a bit fuzzy indoors and looked smoother in my videos captured outside.

Performance

Powered by a 680MHz ARM 11 processor, the Astound can't keep up with the 1GHz and dual-core beasts we've seen this year. But for basic tasks, like Web browsing and using various apps, the Astound handled everything I threw at it.

Unlike the recent crop of phones we've seen from T-Mobile, the Astound is not a 4G phone, meaning it does not support T-Mobile's faster HSPA+ network. The Astound loaded up Web pages quickly enough over T-Mobile 3G in San Francisco.

Call quality was excellent. Voices sounded crystal clear over T-Mobile's network. The network isn't always the strongest here in San Francisco so I appreciated the bonus feature of being able to make calls over Wi-Fi.

Lastly, battery life was excellent. I was able to keep the battery going with moderate to heavy usage for about two day before it died. At the time of this review, we haven't completed our formal battery tests, but I can say that in my hands-on use, the Astound was a trooper.

Conclusion

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Nokia phones have excellent hardware, but the Symbian platform simply cannot keep up with the competition when it comes to aesthetics and user-friendliness. Nokia officials had no comment on its relationship with Microsoft, but they did hint that there will be more Symbian phones to come. I'm excited to see what is to come with the Microsoft thing; Windows Phone 7 is a highly capable platform, especially when paired with the right hardware.

The Nokia Astound is a great phone for users who want a full-featured smartphone, but don't want to break the bank. If you're not a Google or Android fan and find the BlackBerry too business-minded, the Astound is a good choice. The Symbian platform isn't the most user-friendly, however, and the 8-megapixel camera feels like a waste without autofocus.

UC Browser 7.8 Now Available on Blackberry

2011-08-11T06:19:00.000-07:00

After the presence on nearly every major platform, UC Browser now released the official version for Blackberry to take the last piece of the cake. Opera Mini has the reason to be afraid of this release, because the newly release marked that UC Browser has invaded all its battle fields.

You could download this version at wap.ucweb.com directly from your handset.

By a test on UC Browser for BB, I found that it succeed all the good features from the traditional UC Browser version, such as the fast speed, traffic saving, powerful downloading function, and all the user experience oriented features. Let’s take a deeper look at it.

Fast speed is always the label of UC Browser

I have tested the T1 & T3 for both Opera Mini & UC Browser on Yahoo & New York Times, UC Browser has an obvious advantage over Opera Mini from the following table, about 2 seconds lead is showed.

Save your 85% of the traffic charge by the cutting edge compression technology

From the following test chart you could find that UC Browser save more than 30% of the traffic than Opera Mini, which means you could save about 30% of your spend on the tariff to your operators.

Start Page Site Navigation, to access to your favorite site with one click, no need to input URL

Considering the small keyboard and inconvenience of the handset input, UC Browser has provided the site navigation, which put most popular site in the start page, in order to make users can save the input to get access to their favorite sites.

Powerful download manager supporting download large file & multiple task & pause/resume

A lot of users in the developing countries may find that it is really hard to download large file due to the limited of the operators. However, with UC Browser, I am happy to tell you that you need no longer about the large file, because UC Browser supports the multi-tread download to get over the limit from operators. Moreover, the pause/resume function can make you don’t lose the downloading when the network is not good.

A lot of User Experience Oriented Features

UC Browser for BB supports “remember current page” & “clear all browser history” operation, close tab with right bottom, open the “menu” operation while loading page, to make more smooth operation in low level handset.

Also, UC Browser for BB supports to change the theme to make your browser more personalized.

Apple Safari 5.1

2011-08-01T23:56:00.000-07:00

The previous version of Safari for Windows dramatically changed the nature of the browser from something of an unfinished curiosity to an alternative with seriously quick chops. It lacked many of the customization features that define most other browsers, but certain unique default features, such as the visually impressive, Cover Flow-inspired Top Sites and history viewing, made it worth checking out for more users besides just browser enthusiasts and jaded reviewers.

Though Safari 5 continues the push for speed, able to surpass (by some tests) bleeding-edge JavaScript engines from Google and Opera, Apple continues to place feature development farther down the totem pole of importance. That doesn't mean that new features have been ignored. There's the new Reader option that streamlines how you read articles, broader support for HTML5, default support for searches on Bing, and performance improvements. However, the biggest new feature of them all--Extensions--won't be available until later this summer according to Apple, and depending on what you're looking for in a browser, Safari can be seen as lacking many helpful options.

Installation and setup

Safari 5 is easy to install, although the time it takes to run the installer feels longer than its major alterna-browser competitors of Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. It updates using the Apple Software Updater, which may opt you in to other Windows-based Apple programs when it detects an update. Safari does not come with an uninstaller, and so it must be removed using the default Windows Add/Remove Programs tool or a third-party remover.

Interface

Safari's interface hasn't changed much from Safari 4. Navigation remains on top in this version, with Back and Forward buttons, the location bar, the search box, current page menu, and preferences menu. Whereas both Safari and Chrome are based on WebKit, Safari has opted to keep its tabs below the navigation bar and retain its brushed gray interface. It will look the same on Windows XP or Windows 7, since there's no real support for Aero Glass. In many ways, it's not as minimal as Chrome or Opera, and feels a bit older because of it.

The bookmarks bar appears by default just below the navigation bar, and on all but significantly older computers users should see links to show all bookmarks and show Top Sites on the left.

The status bar remains hidden by default, which would be acceptable if there was another way to view a link's URL before clicking on it. Chrome manages a small pop-up at the bottom of the browser, but since Safari doesn't, we recommend forcing the status bar to appear for safety reasons. It's never a good idea to click blindly on a link, and it's unfortunate that the default Safari encourages this behavior. The status bar can be forced to appear from the View option on the menu bar, which is also hidden by default. You can force show the menu bar at the top of the Preferences menu, or by hitting the Alt key.

Features and support

Safari 5 comes with a new way to look at paginated stories and galleries, some helpful lesser feature improvements, and the promise of Extensions. As noted earlier, though, Apple has decided to not include many options that Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and even Safari's cousin Chrome have.

Performance

Safari's performance has definitely been improved, and it remains the browser's strongest selling point, in part because of the hardware acceleration (only in the Windows version, read more about hardware acceleration here) and DNS prefetching. Part of that is because of the improvements made to the Nitro JavaScript engine.

On a Windows 7 x86, running on an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 at 2.53GHz, with 3GB of RAM, Safari notched an average of 465.5 milliseconds over three cold-boot runs on the SunSpider JavaScript test. The current stable version of Chrome released today, version 5.0.375.70, scored 525.19 ms. The disparity between the Mac versions was far greater. On a Mac OS X 10.6.3, running on the same Intel chip as the Windows 7 computer but with 4GB of RAM, Safari 5 completed the SunSpider tests in 351.7 ms. Google Chrome took 498.67 ms. Though the developer's version of Chrome comes in at 356.9 ms on the Windows 7 computer, indicating that Safari's benchmarks can be not only achieved but surpassed, Safari's the only stable public version with these numbers.

Conclusion

Speed is important, but it's not the only judge of a good browser. With the exception of the unique Reader feature, Safari 5 does more to bring Apple's browser into line with other browsers than actually trailblazing, and even with the improvements made to this version, Safari still lacks many of the small but useful features competitors offer. For raw JavaScript speed, Safari is at the head of the pack for now, but Apple's focus on other user needs remains less than exemplary.

iPod touch 4

2011-06-29T04:29:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-24T01:39:00.000-07:00

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.

Apple Safari fastest Internet Browser

2011-06-24T01:21:00.000-07:00

Accessibility

VoiceOver Screen Reader
Safari features built-in support for Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader in Mac OS X. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on your screen and reads the text and links of websites. Using VoiceOver, you can completely control the computer with the keyboard instead of the mouse.

ARIA Support
Safari supports Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA). The ARIA standard helps web developers make dynamic web content more accessible for people with disabilities. With ARIA, sites taking advantage of advanced technologies like AJAX and JavaScript can now easily interoperate with assistive technologies.

Enhanced Keyboard Navigation

Thanks to the enhanced keyboard navigation options in Safari, you can navigate the web without a mouse. Press the Tab key, and Safari jumps to the next password field, pop-up menu, or input field. For increased keyboard control, you can hold down the Option key while tabbing to have Safari skip through every link on the page. And if you press the Return key, Safari opens the highlighted link, letting you “point and click” with just a few keystrokes.

Full-Page Zoom
Zoom in or out on web content using keyboard shortcuts, Multi-Touch gestures, or the Zoom toolbar button for more comfortable reading. Images and graphics scale up while your text remains razor sharp, keeping the web page layout consistent as you zoom. To add the Zoom button to your toolbar, simply choose Customize toolbar from the View menu and drag the button onto your toolbar.

Zoom Text Only
You can choose to zoom in on only the text when you take a closer look at a web page.

Closed Captions for HTML5 Video
Safari can now deliver an accessible video experience. If a video embedded in a web page using the HTML5 tag includes closed captions, click on the “CC” button in the video controls to display them.

Custom Style Sheets
Apply a custom style sheet — that you download or create yourself — that sets default fonts, font sizes, colors, and contrast, making your favorite websites more readable.

Minimum Font Size
If you find that text on some websites is too small to read (such as photo captions or fine print) Safari can increase the font size to make it more legible. Just set the minimum font size in the Advanced pane of Safari preferences.

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

2011-06-19T00:31:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-17T05:09:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-17T04:41:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-17T03:38:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-12T00:54:00.001-07:00

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.
