Iphone 5

When the iPhone first came onto the market, no-one could predict how hugely popular it was going to be and how it would revolutionize a generation. In fact, not only did it change the way people used their phones, it created a whole new industry – the Smartphone – in which it is the current and undisputed champion. While Android devices have made huge strides in eating into this lead, there still is no one single device that has the same depth of penetration into the marketplace as the iPhone.
As Apple continues to release enhancements and upgrades to its iconic product, people are eagerly waiting to hear information about the newest iteration of the iPhone – the iPhone 5 (or potentially the iPhone 4S depending upon whom you listen to) which succeeds the equally popular iPhone 4G. In fact, the iPhone 4 was so popular that Apple is planning to have 15 million units of the iPhone 5 ready for release day (current rumours are pointing to a September or October date for this) in expectation and based on their numbers they are expecting to sell 25 million units by the end of 2011!

While the iPhone 4 did have some issues – most notably problems with the Antenna which impacted people trying to make and receive calls (a somewhat important feature of a mobile phone!) – it is expected that their new device will provide a much better experience in this regard along with a whole host of enhanced specifications. Provided below are a list of the expected iPhone 5 specs.

Processing Power

Current rumours are pointing to the iPhone 5 utilizing Apple’s A5 dual-core processor. This super speedy and powerful processor was first utilized by Apple in the iPad 2 and it is a significant enhancement and improvement to the A4 processor. In addition to the improved processor expectations are high for an improvement in the RAM and overall storage space available.
However other rumours have stated that the reason the iPhone 5 was not released in June (on a similar schedule to that of earlier models) is due to the A5 processor overheating when combined with the new iPhone. If the processor problems are in fact confirmed and Apple is unable to find a solution in a reasonable timeframe, its next model might not be as revolutionary as expected and will only be a small and incremental improvement to the iPhone 4.

Iphone Operating System

The brains of the iPhone 5 will be its newest operating system – iOS 5. Recently released by Apple this new operating system offers some significant differences to its predecessors, most notably cutting the tether to iTunes and the PC in general. Flash unfortunately is still not an option with Apple and while some Android based Smartphone’s have emphasized the availability of Flash on their systems as a key differentiator – the lack of Flash on iPhone’s has not significantly impacted their market share.
Another key enhancement to the new OS is the fact that all software updates are now sent wirelessly and these updates only include the changes – not the whole Operating System!

iPhone Nano

Surprisingly however there are also rumours of an iPhone Nano with a 3 inch screen. The officially (unannounced) Nano will do away with the Home button making them significantly smaller in size to the current generation of iPhones on the market and these smaller units primarily built with iPhone 4 components, will also be offered at a significantly lower price than other iPhones – thereby potentially opening up the budget conscious market to Apple.
While the iPhone Nano will entice non-Smartphone users to Apple it is also expected that they will chip away at the budget Android handset marketplace also. While there are definitely valid reasons for Apple to create a smaller unit, these rumours are definitely unconfirmed at this time, and in fact sources at Apple have stated that Apple will not be releasing a smaller iPhone.

Iphone 5 Camera

Specs for the new iPhone 5 are currently pointing to the new iPhone 5 integrating an 8 megapixel camera into its case. While Nokia’s N8 (with a 12 megapixel camera) is still superior this camera and lens – probably supplied by Sony – will be a vast improvement on the 5 megapixel camera included in the iPhone 4 and with an improved LED flash, this might make enough of a difference.

Overall Look and Feel

Depending upon who does the talking the iPhone 5 could be completely different in look and feel to the iPhone 4 or it could only have some small cosmetic changes. Some of the more radical suggestions include replacing the glass back with a new metal back – which will also act as the new iPhone antenna. In addition there are details that the bezel itself will be changed and will incorporate touch-sensitive buttons around the newer larger 4 inch screen.

Apple is nothing if not innovative and its design styles and ideas have long been at the forefront of the Computer and Electronics industry. The iPhone has led the world and with its huge app store, Apple has a very hefty lead on its competition. As long as Apple does not experience another “Antenna Gate” similar to the problems with its iPhone 4, it should not only be able to maintain this lead but grow it even further and if in fact they do launch an iPhone Nano at a lower price point, they will truly be unassailable!

How to Block Facebook, Twitter, Email for Few Hours Daily

 So you want to block Facebook, Twitter, Email for a few hours so you can stop wasting time and do some productive work. Well it is a simple task if you want to block users on your computers, or want to save distraction time for yourself.

I was trying to access Facebook at a friend’s computer, and as I browsed to the website, I got this alert and Facebook was blocked.

I tried Twitter.com and same for Twitter! Same for email… my entire social interaction was blocked.
My friend chuckled and informed that he had manually blocked social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and all his email accounts so that he could concentrate on his work productivity and not waste time. The blocked urls were released after a few hours (as per his settings) when he was relaxed and free to interact on these sites.
I really like the idea. How many times do we get started to work, and get hooked to chat or Facebook on the way.

How to Block Facebook, Twitter, Email

I hope you are using the Google Chrome browser (its the best out there), and install the Website Blocker extension. Edit some settings and you can block any website for as many hours as you want.
Choose the settings wisely and the extension provides a simple interface to  block websites, as many as you want and at custom times you want. You can also type an optional message.

For example, this code will block access to Facebook.com urls from 0900 to 1700 (9am-5 pm). I have been trying this for a few days and I assure you it is worth your time to use this – and get on Facebook, Twitter and email when you really want to.

How to Block Any Website for Employees / Users

This extension works well if you want to prevent access of social media sites by your employees. Simply block the sites during working hours and they will never know how to access them.

1. Hide the Website Blocker icon from the Chrome toolbar. Right click the icon and click “Hide button”

2. Disable the link from showing in the block message alert which can guide people to disable the options. Also disable the ability to edit settings from the popup alert options

Unless people really know how to browse around into Chrome settings, identify the website blocker, experiment with its settings and disable it –  it should work to block websites for most people. Just keep Chrome as default and only browser on the computer.

Nokia X7

The Nokia X7 is one of the front-runners of Symbian Anna, a major overhaul bringing portrait QWERTY input, improved browser and a refreshed design to the Symbian^3 platform. But the X7 is also a media-centric device with a premium feel and a 4-inch AMOLED screen. It's also one of the latest high-end Nokia handsets running Symbian, so it deserves some special attention. But does it deserve your buck? We'll guide you through the novelties of the interface, see if that 680MHz ARM 11 processor under the hood can back up the experience, and look at the 8-megapixel fixed focus camera, but let's start with some history.

The Nokia X7 first leaked out in November 2010, but since then it's been through a bumpy ride to the market. In December, it appeared with AT&T branding and seemed set for a Stateside release, but only a month later either the carrier or the phone maker decided to cancel that partnership, so the device wouldn't appear subisdized in the States, at least initially. The Nokia X7 however was finally made official in April heralding the all-new Symbian Anna, previously known as PR 2.0.


Design:

But it's not just the new interface – the Nokia X7 is coming with a rather unique angular design with four grills on each of its corners, but only the bottom two hold speakers. A 4-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels dominates the front. It doesn't come with Nokia's ClearBlack enhancement for nearly perfect blacks and better anti-reflection for outdoor visibility, but we found the colors to be very vivid, with blacks still very deep. Add to that Gorilla Glass scratch protection, and you're looking at a delicious screen, corrupted slightly only by the average sunlight legibility. Oh, and we do understand Nokia's wish to keep its ecosystem consistent, but that nHD 360 x 640 pixel resolution seems dated now.

Decrease Video Resolution, File Size But Retaining Video Quality

Videos and photos have definitely become some of the major sources of entertainment and are very commonly shared on the web. Different websites and especially some of the social networking websites allow the users to upload and share their photos and videos with friends and relatives. But, while sharing one thing that is needed and must be kept in mind that the size of these videos must not be too large. If they are too big, then it becomes very difficult to upload them and thus before uploading the size must be reduced. In one of the other scenario also, where you have a limited space in your hard-disk and you observe that a video is consuming more than the desired hard disk space. Then, in such situations you may look out for a quick way to resize the video dimensions and to reduce the size of the video file e.g. from 1GB to 250MB.

So, one of the utilities which is available on the web and can be used for such scenarios is Moo0 VideoMinimizer. It is basically a small, useful and freely available video resizing application which provides lot of major functionalities. One, it allows you to change the display size of the video i.e. basically the picture size of video, and also the file size. Along with the size reduction, there is an option by which the video quality can also be switched between Best, High and Normal modes. Moo0 VideoMinimizer is really a helpful utility as compared to some of the other tools available of its kind, but still it lacks in some of its functionalities as it does not perform both kinds of resize changes simultaneously, so you will have to either select the Image Size or File Size option. So, in case you want to change the file size, make sure you specify a maximum size limit.

So, if you want to try it out, you may download it from the link given below and after installing it you may observe some of the other functionality of this tool. One of the option are available with this utility is the Image Size change option which offers a number of different kind of settings to change the video image size. For this, you firstly need to select the custom width and height or simply select the preset from the Width x Height drop down menu available on the interface. One of the other things is that you can also enable the test Convert option to test and convert only a small part of the video in order to preview the result before starting the conversion process for the complete video.

So, in this way as soon as you have set all the required parameters, then you may simply drag a video to specified drop box in order to begin the conversion process. Although, you may reduce the size of the file to a great extent but still, it’s advisable that the size of a video mustn’t be reduced too much otherwise it may lead to quality degradation.

Rather than following this difficult process, we have hosted the Trackpad Windows drivers for you at the bottom of the post

.
Now that you have Apple Magic Trackpad running on Windows 7, you will be disappointed to know that the default Mouse properties does not work.

Apple iPhone 4

The Apple iPhone 4 is now officially available in India. Aircel is already offering the iPhone 4 with 100% money back scheme. The iPhone 4 is much lighter, faster and comes with a high resolution screen. If you compare with the iPhone predecessors, iPhone 4 is way ahead.

It nearly took about a year for the iPhone 4 to officially enter the Indian markets. When the iPhone 4 was first launched there were a host of problems like the famous signal bar dropping off etc., followed by controversies on how one should hold the iPhone 4 to avoid signal loss. Hopefully Indian users will not face those issues. Anyway it doesn’t matter how you hold the iPhone 4 in India, you will still see dropping signal thanks to the quality provided by Indian service provider.

Apple iPhone 4 features

The front camera can be used both for self portraits and for video chat. The iPhone 4 comes loaded with FaceTime app for video calling. This works right out of the box and you can start video calling almost immediately(requires 3G). With FaceTime during a video call, you can make use of both the cameras, with a single tap you can switch front or rear cameras.

Another noticeable improvement is the Retina display. The display quality is high resolution and with 4x the pixel count as compared with what the iPhone predecessors had. In simple words the display quality is so fine that the images are crystal clear and crisp, no matter how hard you try you will not be able to see any pixels (dots) on the screen.

With iPhone 4 multitasking you can run multiple apps including third party apps and switch between them with ease. The iPhone 4 supports 2G and 3G networks and weighs just 137g. The 3.5 inch LED back-lit IPS TFT screen with capacitive touchscreen supports 16M colours on 640 x 960 pixel resolution.

The iPhone 4 houses Accelerometer sensor used for gesture control. There is also a 3-axis gyro sensor that can detect rotation and can automatically changes the screen orientation depending on how the phone is held and Proximity sensor that can auto switch off the screen when phone is placed near to any object for example your face when making a call.

Apple iPhone 4 review (India)

iPhone 4 comes with 512 RAM and 16/32 GB of storage. The iPhone 4 is powered by 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor (Apple A4 chipset) and the iOS 4 operating system. Thousands of iPhone applications can be download from the Apple Store. Many iPhone owners have jailbroken their iPhone 4 which opens the door to many facilities that are initially blocked by default. Jailbreaking is legal, however doing so may void the iPhone 4 warranty.

Other features of iPhone 4 are Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0, 3.5mm audio jack, TV-Out, build in loudspeaker, GPS and Safari HTML browser.

The iPhone 4 does not have a Radio and there are no additional card slots. The phone also supports MicroSIM cards only.

iPhone 4 comes with the Li-Po 1420mAh battery which can play continuous music for almost 40 hours and last in standby mode up to 300 hours and gives a talk time of 7 hours on 3G network and up to 14 hours on 2G network.

iPhone 4 Price in India Rs. 34,500 for 16GB version and Rs. 40,900 for 32GB version.

Never miss a photo opportunity. The 5-megapixel camera built into iPhone 4 — with optional HDR setting — captures amazingly detailed images. A built-in LED flash illuminates low-light scenes. And the 5x digital zoom gets you closer to the action. You can even shoot self-portraits with the front camera.

HDR photography. 

Now you can take great photos that capture a wider range of light intensity using the new high dynamic range (HDR) setting. After selecting HDR, just point iPhone 4 at your subject and shoot. iPhone 4 automatically captures three photos of the scene — each with different exposure levels. Then iPhone 4 layers the shots together to create a single photo that combines the best elements of each shot and more accurately represents the wide range of light in the scene. Both the regular shot and the HDR photo appear in the Camera Roll.

Built-in LED flash.

At a candlelit dinner, on the beach at night, or wherever the light’s not bright, you can still get great shots with iPhone 4. The advanced backside illumination sensor allows you to shoot low-light photos that are brighter and clearer than ever before. And iPhone 4 now includes a built-in LED flash that automatically fires when it’s needed.

Self-portraits made simple.

Want to take a picture of yourself? The new VGA-quality front camera on iPhone 4 makes it easy. No need to flip your iPhone around to guess where you are in the frame. Instead, just activate the front camera with a tap, check your image on the display, and shoot.

Tap to focus.

Autofocus keeps things sharp and the macro lens takes great close-ups. But you can also tap the iPhone display to focus on anything in the picture — a face in the background, for example — before you take the photo. Focusing also adjusts exposure and white balance automatically, so you get the best-quality photo possible.

Share your photos.

 

Send photos via email or MMS from the Camera app. Every photo you take is geotagged with information about your location, which you can save to your computer and share with iPhoto, Aperture, Flickr, and other compatible applications and services.

HTC Wildfire S

HTC Wildfire S has been released as a new version of its affordable Wildfire phone, available in grey, black and purple colors. We expect HTC Wildfire S to be priced between $223.790 and $335.685 when its launched in India.

The new Wildfire is a lot like its predecessor, but with better screen resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the latest edition of Android for smartphones.

HTC Wildfire S Tech Specs

HTC Wildfire S has a 600 MHz processor and uses HTC’s Sense user interface. Sense has some nifty featurs such as a Polite Ringer that goes silent when the phone is turned over; and a clock that uses the phone’s GPS to automatically update the time when the device is traveling across time zones. There’s also a windows-type application interface where multiple running apps are visible.

The new HTC Wildfire S, in contrast to the previous version, lacks an optical trackpad. It depends entirely on the touchscreen and four navigation keys – for home, search and back etc for inputs.

Measuring 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm, Wildfire has a 3.2 inch touchscreen with display resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. It weighs 105 grams, has 512 MB of ROM and as much RAM. The phone uses HSPA and WCDMA at 900 and 2100 MHz; and quad-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE. It uses Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP and Wifi 802.11 b/g/n networks, and has a micro USB port. Wildfire is equipped wit a digital compass, proximity and light sensors, and has a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus and LED flash. The device uses a 1230 mAh battery which can support about 6 hours of talk time on WCDMA or 7 hours on GSM.

HTC Wildfire S Price

HTC’s Wildfire is likely to be among the cheapest Gingerbread devices for a few months. The Taiwanese make has used the latest version of Android as well as Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP – both brand new technologies, despite Wildfire being a budget device with price ranging between $223.790 and $335.685. (Related: Cheap and best Android phones in India.)

According to people who had a chance to review Wildfire at MWC 2011 in Barcelona, the phone’s keyboard is slightly uncomfortable to use in portrait mode. One tends to hit the wrong buttons, such as enter instead of delete, and perhaps even the other way round. The phone’s inbox displays messages as conversation threads, a feature common on Android. HTC Sense has a customization menu that can be accessed from the homescreen. It allows the user to change the phone’s skin, change the wallpaper and make changes to the home screen.

LinkPush – Chrome2Phone Alternative For Android 2.1 Users

LinkPush is a fairly ordinary browser extension, which does nothing more than pushing links from your browser (any browser, even Internet Explorer) to your Android phone. There’s already a widely popular extension called Chrome2Phone that does that but if you’re one of those people still on Android OS 2.1, then you might know Chrome2Phone doesn’t work for you and that’s where LinkPush comes in. The extension is used in conjunction with the Android app and effectively pushes links to your phone.

The extension adds a small Android Robot icon next to the URL bar in Chrome and on the Add-on bar in Firefox. The first time you use the extension it will require permission to connect using your Gmail account. You will have to install the free Android app to receive and open links on your device.


To send a link to your phone, simply click the icon in your browser. When you send multiple links, the app queues them in the reverse order they were sent in. Each time you launch the app on your phone, it opens the link in its queue. Extensions are available for Firefox and Chrome, for other browsers, a bookmark is available on the developer’s site.

Google & Motorola

NEW YORK : Motorola Mobility is in an unusual position.

Acquisitions are aimed at creating some well-articulated synergy between two firms, but Motorola's future role in its $12.5-billion deal with Google is unclear.

Motorola's rich trove of 17,000 patents will allow  Google to defend itself against foes like Apple and Microsoft in legal arena. But, Motorola's position is different.

In fact, the two companies are starkly different.Google makes Internet services and software, thrives on high profit margins and distributes its product using giant data centres. Motorola makes hardware, has modest margins and moves its products on trucks and airplanes.

Some hope the cultures will fuse and lead Motorola to a future as storied as its past. Martin Cooper, 82, who worked at Motorola for 30 years and developed the first hand-held cell-phones there, said he hoped great things would come from combining Google's momentum and confidence with Motorola's tradition of excellence in radio technology.

"The combination might make Motorola successful-- again," said Cooper, whose patent from the early 1970s for cellular phone technology is among those that hang at the company's entrance.

Motorola would become a laboratory for Google to seek to perfect Android in concert with newly acquired hardware engineers, industry analysts said.

But if it appears to be getting too cozy with Motorola, Google risks upsetting other mobile phone makers like HTC and Samsung, who run some of their smartphones and tablets on Android.
