new release Samsung S8500

Enter a newborn platform. With a boom. With a bang. A Bada kind of bang. Another of the bounteous guns wants to play by their own rules. Samsung’s second spot in orbicular market share was hard fought but it module be a while before they as such as wish the same for the Bada. They’ve been a consistent innovator over the last couple of years but effort baby Bada up and streaming must be quite a challenge.

The Samsung S8500 Wave is Bada’s carrier vessel and it certainly looks interesting. It seems to have the correct abstract to make it newsworthy: slim profile and an dead gorgeous screen. But is it sufficiency to make it a success?

Over the time eld newborn touchscreen platforms hit been broad like wildfire but not all of them hit managed to catch on as substantially as their developers must hit been hoping. Android fares substantially but still hasn’t quite overcome its growing pains, while the substantially settled Symbian platform is still coming to cost with touchscreen.

Update 05 March: We received a second Wave unit after this advertisement was originally published. The newborn sample had a right employed camera and comes with the final design of the creation (some slight changes). We've updated most of this article to match the more past device. We've replaced the photos and the screenshots plus we've added newborn sections on the camera and the preinstalled applications. Have a look around!
Samsung S8500 Wave at a glance

• General:GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 1900/2100 MHz, EDGE collection 10, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2 Mbps
• Form factor:Touchscreen bar
• Dimensions:10.9 mm thin
• Display:3.3\" 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 480 x 800 pixels resolution, scratch-resistant render surface
• Platform: Bada OS
• CPU: 1 GHz processor
• Memory: 2GB internal memory, microSD card slot
• Camera: 5-megapixels auto-focus camera, 720p recording recording
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with WPS support, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, accepted microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3.5mm audio jack
• Misc: Accelerometer for screen machine rotate, proximity sensor for screen auto-turn-off, ambient light sensor, FM broadcasting with RDS, DivX/XviD support, multi-touch signaling and pinch-zooming gestures
• Battery: 1500 mAh battery

The S8500 Wave is among the prizewinning spec’d Samsung phones we’ve seen and it seems every aspect of the overall performance module hit to vantage its weight. Samsung are stabbing to focus attention on the teen Bada OS, and that strength as substantially bear future fruit. However, if the teen platform fails to perform as expected, its shortcomings module be harder to forgive.

In the geeks' world 720p recording recording and 1 GHz CPU are probably the best remedies for a few usability issues. However they rise the outlay of the device and that in turn prevents whatever people from purchasing it. And in a mart where smartphones become in every tastes and flavors you really poverty to get you device in as many pockets as possible.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and make hasty conclusions. We’ll hopefully know more about how Samsung will pitch the first Bada phone to the users so let’s waste no more time. Join us after the move for the hardware inspection.

With that in mind, you crapper start imagining different form factors, though there isn’t any concrete information on how a newborn Xbox strength look like. Of course, most users would want the figure to be slimmed down, maybe like the PS3 slim, though whatever are hoping that there strength be Project metropolis hardware built into the console itself, and if that were the case, we’re sure most of you wouldn’t nous the Xbox effort a shade bigger to accommodate that.

small spaces on your kitchen, O Kitchen designed for portability,

This particular gadget is famous as the O Kitchen, a construct figure created by a aggroup of Brazilian designers. I presume it is named the O Kitchen because it can fold up into a super ball. Yet without a hole in the middle, I wouldn’t call it an “O”. I guess they didn’t same the study “Ball Kitchen”. I’m not even going to hint to what that sounds like.

This O Kitchen was fashioned to be an easily portable and compact kitchen, presumably prefabricated for those who don’t hit the space for a big kitchen. Of course, this takes up whatever space too. Find out what all the drawing mean after the jump.

Each of the sort corresponds to a assorted feature on the O Kitchen: 1) Unified cook and electric oven; 2) Refrigerator; 3) Dishwasher; 4) Cooktop; 5) Smell and clean exhaust; 6) Lighting; 7) Control panel with internet access, MP3 player function, CD/DVD reader, digital cookbook, kitchen management software
, built-in good system; 8 ) Cabinets; 9) Automatic disposal system; 10) High temperature alert display.

I can see another ingest for the O Kitchen: outdoors. Why pain attractive the grill to a tailgate band when you can just listing the O Kitchen in the backwards of the pickup truck? Of course, you’re probably going to hit to bungee it downbound somehow so it doesn’t listing out on a sudden stop.

lets a child carry his or her own booster seat with BoostApak

One of the prototypal thing that some parent learns is how to set up a thief seat, and how to plan when your toddlers have to move from automobile to car. Unfortunately, most thief seats are hard and bulky, and not easy to agitate around at all. I once had to take a rental automobile back with my son in it, and then had to walk bag retentive the thief seat. I’ve had more pleasant walks.

Fortunately, BoostApak have not exclusive figured discover a way to fold up a thief lead into a convenient backpack, and they have fashioned it so the child is the creature of charge for it. I suppose that “beast of burden” is a cruel term, but considering that most parents intend the job of carrying way too some things, it is good that the BoostApak has prefabricated their device to be put on little kids’ backs. There are times when kids actually want to help discover their parents, and this would be a good way to intend them involved.

The BoostApak is fashioned to ergonomically fit, or “to protect growing spines and encourage better posture”. It is good for children ages 4 to 11. You should be healthy to intend the BoostApak sometime in April, but there doesn’t seem to be a price. I conceive that it’s promulgation will be exclusive in the UK, for now.

New rugged digital camera -Fujifilm FinePix XP10

Fujifilm is like an old daddy in photography industry. Their digital cameras are actually known for their naivety in looks and usage. Here is a brand new digital camera by Fujifilm which is a complete oppositeness of what they are known for. Fujifilm FinePix XP10 is a clifflike digital camera and they call it a “Four Proof” camera as it is waterproof, freeze proof, shockproof, and dustproof.

So disregarding the defy condition in which you want to ingest a digital camera, Fujifilm FinePix XP10 is a coercive and robust digital camera. XP10 was prototypal showcased in metropolis at PAM 2010. It features a 12 megapixel CCD sensor lens. And its 2.7 inch High-Contrast LCD concealment offers a enthusiastic comfort for the photographers working under gleaming sunlight.

FinePix XP10 is meant for long and rough runs, as it is domiciliated in a metal body which offers it with broad toughness. Design of XP10 is mainly inspired from its man member FinePix Z33WP which was a super hit digital camera by Fujifilm.

Apart from its 12 MP lens, it features Fujinon 5x periscopic optical zoom lense with a reinforced conserving lense barrier which offers you with high exactitude and enthusiastic ikon quality. XP10 is digit portable collection as it is meet 21.7mm in thickness. And its chiselled organisation offers it a conventional compact digital camera look without and unearthly looking factor.

Whether it would be initiate or professed photographer, night or day, disregarding some outside bourgeois Fujifilm FinePix XP10 offers you with complete satisfaction that digit expects from a coercive and compact digital camera. It is available in of three different colors – silver, black and green.

Netbook for students "Classmate PC"

No wonder, Classmate PCs are the next procreation netbooks which might not offer creature like power but verify cares of a student’s needs in a comprehensive manner. Apart from its .66GHzIntel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor its 1 GB of RAM lets you handle broad end programs with so much of ease.

This netbook features a 160 GB hard drive which offers you with good enough storage power to preserve all your data.  Its 10.1 inch anti-glare pass with a picture partitioning of 1024 x 600 pixels offers it a gorgeous countenance apart from enhancing its utility factor.

But its wider keyboard and touchpad offer a better appendage different other netbooks. It comes with 6 cell, 4400mAh battery. The current mart toll ofClassmate PC netbook is around $449.

NVIDIA's Optimus transforms into smaller ION 2

After an initial burst of enthusiasm and despite NVIDIA's repeated attempts to show me the light, I'm no longer particularly clear on the case for ION in netbooks—who are all of these people who are playing WoW and watching HD movies on their 1024x600 netbooks? Isn't "netbook performance" an oxymoron? Nonetheless, whatever the case is, it just got stronger with the announcement of ION 2.

ION 2 is pretty much what you'd expect given the Optimus announcement from early last month: an NVIDIA discrete GPU plus Intel's Pine Trail mobile platform. There are, however, a few twists on the idea that are specific to the netbook. First, let's take a look at the overall platform.

Like the notebook version of Optimus, ION 2 is essentially NVIDIA's response to a one-two punch by Intel: first, Intel moved the GPU into the same package as the CPU (in Pine Trail's case, they're even on the same die), and then the chipmaker refused to grant NVIDIA a license that would enable the latter to make a replacement I/O hub that interacts directly with the CPU socket.

NVIDIA has engineered their way around this lock-out by attaching their discrete GPU to Intel's I/O hub via PCIe, and including software that dynamically distributes graphical chores between Intel's integrated graphics processor (IGP) and NVIDIA's GPU. Because Intel's built-in graphics processors use system memory to store the frame buffer, Optimus's software side can hijack the frame buffer and use NVIDIA's discrete GPU to fill it. Intel's processor then reads the (NVIDIA-provided) display data from the frame buffer and sends it out to the display.

On Intel's normal laptop platform, this approach works great because the PCIe bus provides plenty of bidirectional bandwidth for Optimus to use for getting input from the CPU and sending output to the frame buffer. Pine Trail, however, is significantly more bandwidth-constrained, as it only hosts four PCIe 1.1 lanes. Most netbook makers will probably use only one of those 250MB/s lanes for NVIDIA's GPU.

Optimus can still push frames to a low-resolution netbook display over a single PCIe 1.1 lane, but one of the ION platform's big selling points is HD video output. For those who want to hook up an HDMI display to their netbook so that they can watch HD video, NVIDIA has attached an HDMI out that pulls data directly from the ION GPU's private, 512MB pool of DDR3 frame buffer memory. (Seriously, who hooks up an HDMI display to a netbook? This is not a rhetorical question. If you're doing this, please drop into the comments and sound off.) This added HDMI out is the main difference between ION 2 and the regular Optimus platform.

Another rationale for Optimus on netbooks is Flash video acceleration. This can be done on regular Pine Trail netbooks with a cheap Crystal HD chip from Broadcom, but NVIDIA is hoping that users will pay a little more to get the full Optimus experience.

The other part of the full Optimus experience is gaming, and, given my predilection for playing old cRPGs on a touchscreen tablet, I get this. An ION 2 netbook and a Good Old Games account would make for hundreds of hours of high-quality, impossibly cheap retro gaming. (If someone would make a dedicated ION 2 retro gaming tablet for under $400, I'd probably buy it.)

ION and ION 2 make a lot more sense in so-called "nettops," and NVIDIA has a variant on the ION 2 platform targeted directly at this market. In this version, all of the video out goes through the GPU. In fact, I'm not even clear on what, if anything, the Pine Trail IGP does in the nettop version of Optimus, since the platform's dynamic power/performance optimization isn't needed.

Acer, Asus, and Lenovo are among the netbook vendors that have already signed on to produce ION 2-based netbooks. NVIDIA is claiming a 50 to 100 percent performance advantage over previous ION systems, with minimal impact on battery life, so it makes sense that existing ION customers are moving to ION 2. Indeed, anyone who is already a satisfied ION customer will probably be itching to upgrade.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series Has Coming

This week at Mobile World Congress, Microsoft showed off its new phone platform for the first time. Everything that we knew and loathed about Windows Mobile is gone. Even the name is different. It's now "Windows Phone 7 Series."

Apple iPhone move over because Microsoft has now fired a shot over the bow with their intention to release Windows Phone 7 Series. This will be a new type of smart phone designed to slay Apple, and take over the smart phone market. This could be on of Microsoft's most risky venture to date, and it would also turn out to be the most profitable. It would seem that MS is scrapping all of their previous cell phone starts and fits and is now coming out with something altogether completely new.

Firstly, MS has rebuild windows mobile from top to bottom. With the 7 Series smart phone the home screen has been completely redesigned right along with the user interface experience. Xbox Live and Zune have been roped into the integration, as well as greatly a improved features to expand your social networking. The usual startup screen is history now, and instead what you find are tiles that make it very easy to scroll up and down and from side to side, making it quite easy to make a custom launch, links contacts, and any personal widgets you may have added.

The look and feel of the operating system has also been retooled, with a heavy emphasis on social networking which allow updates for status from many different services. It also allows for convenient jumping around to a dense cloud content, and in particular to your personal photo gallery. The integration of Xbox Live will include not only games, but avatars and profiles as well, sure to please the active gamer. The device includes an FM radio (cool!), along with Zune integration that appears as a standard copy.

It would be a mistake to think the Series 7 phone is just a rehash of their prior efforts. If you flip through the details you can see how MS has taken a much more vertical design with both the hardware and the user interface experience. Features such as CPU, clock speed, aspect ratio of the screen, screen resolution, available memory, and button layout have all been reconfigured. In addition, all of these features will not be customizable based on the carrier, and there will one single brand for the Windows Phone 7 Series. Not surprisingly, you will see a dedicated button just for Bing access... the assault on Google continues.

It seems that available carriers are numerous with such services ready to step up to the plate such as AT&T, Deutsche Telekom AG, Orange, SFR, Sprint, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, Telstra, T-Mobile USA, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone, while hardware partners include Dell, Garmin-Asus, HTC, HP, LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Qualcomm. It is also clear that MS does not intent to offer any third party devices. Microsoft promises that the first units will hit the market later this year just in time for the holidays.

It is pretty astounding that the largest technology company in the world has finally entered the smart phone market, almost three years after the introduction of the iPhone. But if you remember how late MS was to enter the browser and internet market this is not surprising. It seems that everything is going to be different now that Microsoft has introduced the Windows Phone 7 Series, and while I am sure there will be fits and starts along the way I expect it will make a quantum change in the way we use phones. That's it for now, check in again and I will post updates as they are available.

Puts the phone back in smartphone,Nokia C5 goes official

The Nokia Cseries just went official - as expected the first member of the line is the Nokia C5. The new handset strives for simplicity, sticking to Symbian S60 3rd edition and is all about keeping connected with friends and family through all modern means of communication.

The design of the Nokia C5 is an epitome of simplicity - bar form factor and standard phone keypad with big comfy-looking keys. The screen is 2.2" with QVGA resolution. The Nokia C5 is aimed at the people who still prefer a regular phone, so no touching.

The phone keeps a 12.3mm slim waistline and weighs only 89 grams, even though there's plenty of steel used for its body. The 1050 mAh battery of the Nokia C5 is good for 26 days of standby and 12 hours of talk time.

The Nokia Cseries emphasizes on ease of communication, so besides the hefty talk time, there's a video call camera. Nokia Messaging handles the IM side of things with Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger support.

The phonebook of the Nokia C5 has also been updated and now shows Facebook updates too.
Other noteworthy features of the Nokia C5 include a 3.2MP autofocus camera, 3.5 mm audio jack and stereo speakers, a 2GB microSD card in the box (cards up to 16GB are supported) and stereo FM radio.

There's an integrated GPS receiver with A-GPS support and Ovi Maps 3.0 with free walk and drive navigation. The only noticeable omission is Wi-Fi connectivity. Check out the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic - it has similar specs but trades GPS for Wi-Fi. It's plastic all over though, there's no metal onboard.
The Nokia C5 will be available in the second quarter in Europe, Eurasia, SEAP, China and MEA. The expected price before taxes and subsidies is 135 euro. Expect more Cseries phones too, but Nokia is mum on any details on upcoming devices.

Also today Nokia officially explained their new naming convention - one letter and one digit. The letter signifies the type of phone - business phone, flagship, entertainment-centric phone, etc. - and the digit is a rough indication the amount of features/price class of the phone. This should make it very easy for consumers to guess what they can expect from a phone, just from its model number.
