My Sleek and Functional New Phone ndash; Great Value for Money

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:33:11 +0000

p
I decided to buy a new phone, reasonably priced and stylish. There was a lot of hype around the Nokia Lumia 800, so I became interested. What was important for me, apart from the above mentioned considerations, were the storage, the storage and the screen resolution and colour depth. My wife, working in the field of a href=http://www.dqglobal.com/enterprise-data-managemententerprise data management/a, shared my preferences. That being said, I can now share what I found out. Indeed the phone I took in my hands was stylish, and it looked attractively slim. It felt light enough and fit snugly in my palm./p

brp class=MsoNormal style=text-align: justify; line-height: normal; Overall, I liked the initial feel of the Lumia. It was definitely not chunky, it was slim and sleek, with its rounded polycarbonate shell, and comfortably light. It was interesting to learn that the Nokia Lumia 800 has a unibody design ndash; the battery cannot be taken out. On second thoughts, that may be a fashion that is going to catch on, and after all it doesnrsquo;t seem inconvenient, to me at least. Another thing I liked were the top flaps for the charging port and the SIM slot. /p/p

p
brp class=MsoNormal style=text-align: justify; line-height: normal;Crisp images and good contrast were my next concern. What I established was good colour depth, good contrast and vivid colours. My impression was that the screen was a little too small, so I was naturally worried about the experience I would get using the Internet and other media. Yet another paramount feature was the storage capacity. I found Nokia Lumia 800 has 16 GB to offer ndash; a reasonable amount, by my standards (I tend to store a hefty amount on my phone, not only documents, but videos too). /p p class=MsoNormal style=text-align: justify; line-height: normal;Well, I liked the features Nokia Lumia 800 offers, bundled with the reasonable price. I bought it, and so far it hasnrsquo;t disappointed my expectations. /p/p

Windows Phone 7: A Must Have

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:33:10 +0000

p
p Recently there have been ripe speculations in a number of editorials on some of the more popular tech blogs about the failings of Microsoftrsquo;s operating system. There was also a so called leaked memo hat pointed to greater number of apps for devices that use Windows Phone 7. One site even reported that in the U.S. ATT will be the first carrier that will be offering LTE-enabled devices. So Windows Phone 7 is not dead yet and if they can get their updates, carrier support, and device and app availability right, it could end up dominating the marketplace. /p/p

p class=MsoNormalWhen you walk into a phone store and look on any a href=http://www.printdesigns.compop up stand/a you are not likely to see a Windows Phone 7. When you do chances are you will end being a happy camper. These Smartphones tend to have a high level of satisfaction amongst users. /p p class=MsoNormalIn my opinion Windows Phone 7 provides users with the better parts of both Android and iOS. What you will find is that there is a clean hub-based interface, it is customizable, and it is unique. /p p class=MsoNormalOther features that many will love include the ability of the user to choose from a number of handset designs, quick updates from Microsoft, greater integration and multitasking with available apps, and no need to hard reset any phone. /p/p

p class=MsoNormalIt is these and other features that make the Windows Phone 7 operating system a well needed one. This, especially when you consider that some of the other players are exiting the marketplace. Android and IOS are the main players but they still have certain flaws that users are unhappy with. An improvement in Windows Phone 7 may end up irking the others to make an improvement. /p p class=MsoNormalAs noted above should Microsoft make the necessary updates and changes the Windows Phone 7 operating system can be the dominant one on the market for SmartPhones. /p/p

Use new tech? But why?

p
Why do we buy diamonds? Why is it so important to give precious stones to our spouses on special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays? Many persons put their finances under strain to purchase diamonds. Credit must be given to the diamond miners for having created the image that an anniversary is incomplete without diamonds. You are not allowed to think that it is acceptable not to purchase diamonds for one is spouse. In the same way, technology solution providers have created an image that anything that is old automatically becomes outdated, risky and inefficient. brbr/p

Just take the example of Windows XP and Windows 7. There is no doubt that Windows 7 is a good operating system. However, there are many persons who are comfortable with Windows XP and see no reason to switch. However, Windows XP is no longer legally available in the market for a new purchaser. In such a scenario, you have no option but to push yourself and purchase a copy of Windows 7 operating system. There is an underlying hidden presumption that Windows 7 is better than Windows XP. brThe sad part is that nobody knows how it will help improve onersquo;s computing experience. Apple has incorporated this approach as a part of its production planning. Planned obsolescence is an integral part of technology solutions. This is the reason why you have touch screen phones when smart phones seem to do the job perfectly fine. Constant upgrading of technology may be the essential when you have the responsibility of a href=http://www.dqglobal.com/enterprise-data-managemententerprise data management/a for your firm or if you participating in cutting edge research and require the best and the most efficient tech solutions at all times. brbr/p

However, on all other occasions, you can stay away from the planned obsolescence and stick to technology that you are comfortable with. There is no need to change unless you see any benefit in doing so.br/p

iPad 3: Rumours Abound

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 02:03:10 +0000

As you all should know by now the iPad 2 was released not so long ago. What you may not be aware of is the fact that people are already talking about the iPad 3. Yes you read right, the iPad 3.

Rumours are already abound that the iPad 3 has already been made and shipped to a number of retail outlets. Now they are predicting what will be included in the new device including features such as retina displays, camera, and a bigger chip set. If you follow the rumour mongers the iPad will have graphic as good as a Paul Horton print. Wishful thinking I say.

Many are saying the iPad 3 will be released sometime in September this year. This would make it just a few months after that of the iPad 2, so it is highly unlikely. I guess we will see.

Some are saying that the new iPad 3 will come fitted with a dual core processor called the Apple A6. This again is really difficult to accept as the iPhone 5 is expected to have an A5 not an A6 so it is more likely that an A5 will be in the iPad 3. Now if it is that the iPad 3 will have an A6 then chances are it won’t be released until sometime next year as the chip makers as not releasing these types until late this year.

It is also rumoured that an NFC chip will be included which means that users will be able to access and use your setting and data by simply flicking your wrist.

R4 Today…Back up Game tomorrow!

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:35:09 +0000

With computers becoming ever more powerful, it is easy to forget that one of the main reasons for advances in the technology is because of the gaming market. As one of the many people who enjoy gaming on a regular basis, I am always keen to see how fast my machine can run and at what level graphics and sound can be processed at. The console market is of particular interest at the moment.

What do they do?

Have you ever been fed up with trying to load a cartridge into your DS and found that it’s corrupted or doesn’t play properly? If the answer is yes then like me you should definitely get yourself an R4 card. Simply put the R4 backs up files including games on your DS. You can use it in conjunction with a micro SD card to store a variety of media files including music, files and photos when you’re on the move. Functionality wise, the R4 couldn’t be more flexible.

Where do I get it from?

Most online retailers will be able to help you purchase an R4 for as little as £3.99. You could try all the top sites, but a quick google search will usually reveal the best sites to get your card from.

Is it worth it?

Yes. I have lost so many cherished games over the years through extended play or simple degradation. Sometimes manufacturing errors can cause a game to conk out on you during play. Perhaps the best reason to buy an R4 though is in the event you own a rare game (which most of us do). As the game is virtually impossible to find in its original format, an R4 will provide from relief in case your copy breaks or becomes corrupt.

Any extras?

You can often find the R4 come in an array of different bundles including SDI memory cards. Transferring files from another computer is easy and the card itself is very sturdy. I dropped several on the floor and trod on them to see if they would break, but was surprised and pleased to note that aside from some dirt, the card stubbornly refused to crack! That said, I would not recommend trying that at home!

What next?

The R4 should be available for the 3DS shortly enabling you to save backup copies of games like The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS or Pilotwings 3DS. As to what the future in 12 months time will look like for the R4, it is difficult to speculate. It’s entirely possible that the memory capacity of the cards will expand enabling more files and games to be backed up and shared. If you don’t already own one, go out and buy an R4 now!

Disabled Access?

admin — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:18:11 +0000

The BBC recently reported concerns over whether modern technology would soon alienate disabled people unable to use multi gesture controls and applications. Interestingly it is technology that has allowed people like Jeff Hall (who suffered total paralysis following a stroke at 40 years of age) to communicate with the outside world. Yet he is worried that as phones and applications develop, the chances of the disabled being able to keep up will reduce drastically.

Smartphones are a good example of technology that is not widely accessible for people with limited movement in their arms and hands. The touch screen tech employed as standard across most phones nowadays is simply not useful for someone who can only move one or two fingers. The need for a different interface is required but mobile phone operators are not keen to invest heavily in a group of society who are a lesser percentage of the population as a whole. Discrimination? Possibly, but you would be hard pushed to prove it in a court of law simply because it is a reality.

Travelling abroad bears its own problems for the disabled user, but at least there is a wider array of options available for mobile phone use and charges. A lot of companies including abroadband offer all their customers flexible roaming options tailored to the individual’s needs. In fact a quick look at http://www.abroadband.com/en/GB/simonly shows the flexibility and cost effective services that are available. It is this kind of approach that needs to be adopted more when considering the needs of the disabled community.

Funnily enough it is the disabled community that has led to many technological advances in the past 20 – 30 years. Voice recognition and motion sensor technology have all grown through their application for disabled used. Just look at Stephen Hawking as a prime example of this. Rather then being concerned over whether or not technology will leave them behind, the disabled who are worried are more then likely to benefit from new advances in the next decade or so.

There are advances being made all over the world in robotics with ‘bionics’ in particular receiving a huge investment in time and resources from scientists eager to make a breakthrough. Bionic technology could replace missing limbs and body parts once the technology advances to a point of safe application. All the naysayers who warn of the dangers of technology outstripping humanity should rest a little easy for now as the one technological marvel we have yet to replicate successfully is the computer that is our brain.

The disabled have a lot more to look forward to then be afraid of in the 21^st Century. In fact the rapid growth of technology could benefit someone in a wheelchair a lot more then someone who is able bodied. Bionics, superior voice recognition, Smarter-phones and more are all going to be a reality in the next few years and this writer for one cannot wait to see it all!

Why the iPhone works.

admin — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:33:16 +0000

My mate recently got the new HTC, it was touch screen and the user interface was pretty much the same as the iPhone. Nevertheless it wasn’t quite up to the standard of Apple’s Smartphone, for one fundamental reason. It was still too over-complicated.

Apple seems to have one premise when creating their product - make it simple. This is clearly shown in the iPhone 4 due to the logical motions of touch screen, easy user interface and layout. With a grand total of just five buttons (yes, i counted them…FIVE!!) the iPhone is ridiculously simple, brilliant and contemporary.

Other smart phones such as the Blackberry and HTC are good phones; don’t get me wrong, I personally own a Blackberry. They too are easy to use and one can generally get the hang of the interface. But with the iPhone, I find that my grandmother could use it, and you would only have to call an it support company in the direst of circumstances.

Another great feature of the iPhone is that it can double up as an iPod. Most people use iPod’s now, and it is really quite handy to be able to carry only one device instead of several. The only downside to this is that your battery will deplete much faster, so be careful.

With hundreds off apps there is actually an app for everything when it comes to the iPhone. Whether it is for getting to “A” to “B”, finding the nearest restaurant or browsing the web, the iPhone is versatile and ever evolving.

Smart phone not so smart for everyone

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:18:55 +0000

Despite many attempts to convince me otherwise, I still don’t own a smart phone. I know that they’re the must have gadget to own and that they will make my life easier, but I just can’t shake the feeling that they’re designed to control my life.

At the moment technology kind of does run our lives and with the advent of smart phones you can be plugged in anywhere and at any time…provided you’ve got full satellite coverage of course. What concerns me most however is the drain all our technology is having on simple things like my utility bills. Were I to get a smart phone the chances are that its battery life wouldn’t be half as long as my current mobile. Do I want to spend more money on my electricity bill?

I live in Coventry and I found out that the majority of my home power supply comes from Red Diesel Coventry. This is part of a group called Crown Oil who to my surprise is one of the principle suppliers of diesel and red diesel in the UK for homes and businesses. Much more surprising to me though is their commitment to decreasing their carbon footprint. It made me think, do I want to increase my own footprint by getting a smart phone? I researched further and found out that smart phones use up more power then my standard mobile. So if I were to get an iphone or an android, I’d end up spending more on my utilities and burning up more energy. With my laptop, TV, stereo, ipod and current mobile phone I’m fairly certain I’m connected enough for now.

Think before you upgrade and ask yourself, ‘Do I really need this?’

How to help the elderly cope with technological advancements

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:18:24 +0000

Technology has come to stay and most of us love it even if we have to keep learning because of the fact that it keeps advancing. There is virtually nothing technology does not have an impact on this present day. People can comfortably sit in their rooms to consult the services of real estate Lebanon. That is how easy technological advancement has made life. But not all humans find it easy to find their way round the many devices that are available today. The older people (especially those in their sixties and above) do not have the kind of that we all think we enjoy when using technology. There is however ways by which senior citizens can be helped to cope with the demands of technological advancements. These are just suggestions based on research and they are intended to act as help for the elderly.

The senior citizens are a unique group of people who for one reason or the other are unable to adapt to the fast pace at which development is moving. You can’t really blame them; most of the things they have to deal with now were not available during their generation. You first of all have to help them accept and appreciate the numerous advantages of technology to mankind. They need these gadgets as well so it is important that you show them a few important buttons without rushing them through the lesson. Finally, you have to be very patient as well because if they are rushed, they tend to lose interest and some of this equipment is very essential to their survival and general wellbeing.
