Motorola MILESTONE review: Hello Droid

Android
devices come from all walks of life but rarely do they carry as much baggage as the MILESTONE. Motorola seem to be betting the farm with the MILESTONE and the warm reception it’s getting must leave them breathing a sigh of relief. Catching the Android wave may’ve seemed like the last available move but a device like the MILESTONE makes turning the tide much more likely.

So, Motorola are back with a bang and the MILESTONE is one of the best spec’d phones to ever run Android. The Google Nexus One is supposed to instill fear in nearly every touchscreen device out there but the Moto Droid must be positioned well enough by now to withstand the attack.

Key features

    * Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
    * 10.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support
    * 3.7" 16M-color capacitive touchscreen of WVGA (480x 854 pixel) resolution
    * Android OS v2.0 with kinetic scrolling and pinch zooming
    * Slimmest side slider with full QWERTY keyboard yet
    * Great build quality
    * ARM Cortex A8 600MHz CPU, PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator; 256 MB of RAM
    * 5 MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and geo-tagging
    * D1 (720 x 480 pixels) video recording @ 24fps
    * Wi-Fi and GPS with A-GPS
    * 133MB storage, microSD slot, bundled 8GB card
    * Accelerometer and proximity sensor
    * Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
    * microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v2.1

Main disadvantages

    * No DivX and XviD video playback
    * No smart and voice dialing
    * Somewhat clumsy camera interface and limited camera features
    * No free GPS navigation solution
    * No Flash support for the web browser
    * No FM radio

There’s hardly anything missing on the Motorola MILESTONE spec sheet so we should be ready for an exciting ride. The test-drive got us impressed: at the end of our preview we felt positive about the MILESTONE prospects. So now, the Moto DROID has a full review ahead to build on that good impression.

Considering the rate of its sales, the handset is doing well from a user point of view too. Yet, a short-lived success is just not good enough for Motorola: the company doesn’t have the resources to come up with an equally talented successor as quick as some of the competitors. So, the MILESTONE needs to stick around the top of the sales charts for at least a few months to give Motorola some breathing space.

The Motorola DEXT by the way did reasonably well in scouting out the territory but it now falls upon the MILESTONE to carry the offensive through. Proper backup is still to come so it will have to fight all by itself.

We’ll follow in its footsteps and – as the tradition goes – we continue with the hardware and ergonomics right after the jump.

Panasonic VIERA G2 and S2 1080p plasma panels go on sale in February

Panasonic  has let everybody interested know specifications of the VIERA G2 and S2 1080p plasma HDTVs coming out into mass availability on February 5th. Both, G2 and S2 series, represent steady improvement over current plasma technology sold under G1 series. Panasonic has equipped G2 and S2 with different sorts of panels so they have a bit different image quality and therefore price tags. the smallest and less techy 42" S2 will be available for 2,100 dollars while the biggest and the best 50" G2 will set you 3,530 dollars back.

In the meanwhile, price difference between equally sized G2 and S2 is a lot less considerable and that's weired because technological gap between them is. Let me explain: Panasonic engineers have designed a beautiful PDP Black panel technology for plasma TVs. PDP is lead-free and outputs 5,000,000 : 1 contrast ratio. VIEARA G2 has it, but S2 doesn't. It is unclear whether S2 has PDP at all, but 2,000,000 : 1 contrast is a nuisance next a G2.

Differences between VIEARA ranges doesn't stop here. G2 is also better equipped. It has three HDMI connectors, four D4s, Ethernet, VGA. S2 has VGA only. Available sizes are 42", 46" and G2 only 50". My opinion here is that cheapest G2 will do better than the biggest S2.

Resident Evil 5 is not racist

A few minutes and polite questions passed before anyone tackle the enormous zombie elephant in the room. So… how did resident evil 5  producer Masachika Kawata react to the accusation that the game’s use of African villagers as monstrous enemy was inherently racist? “It was a little bit unfortunate,” he explains calmly. “And we feel that it was a little bit unfair because we set the game in Africa and then obviously we had to make the indigenous people, and they happened to be black people. We don’t take racism so lightly it was just a coincidence nothing more.”

We are talking to Kawata san in Germany at the Leipzing Games Convention, and he’s not at all fazed by the line of questioning. Indeed, he seems relieved to put the record straight. In case the brouhaha passed you by, here is a recap: in the summer of 2007, Capcom unveiled the trailer for Resi 5 which showed a fictional African village where the inhabitants had been turned into zombies and were trying to kill the lead character Chris Redfield. Website Black Looks picked up on the fact that most of the enemies were black, Chris was white, and so a scandal was born.

Kawata san admits that the reaction caught his team on the hop, and says that perhaps it’s all down to cultural differences: “You can’t please everybody, you know. Everyone’s got different opinions. For us Japanese, we may be a little bit more naive in comparison to the Western people, because we have never had a history of living with any other race as such. It was a lesson: that probably we have to be a bit more sensitive about the issues in the future.”

Brother SV-70 document viewer

Most new products released are often better versions of their predecessors, but Brother of Japan takes the road less traveled with the SV-70 document viewer which is a lesser version of the SV-100B. It shares most of the same features as its technologically superior sibling save for Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR connectivity and carrying half the onboard memory, which means it can only store 500 pages instead of the usual 1,000. Pricing details have yet to be released, but it will roll out this February 20th in Japan.

Machine To Turn Your Office Paper Into Toilet Paper

Do you think that there is too much paper being wasted in your office? Well, the smart folks over in a Japanese company called Oriental have come up with a machine called White Goat. If you’re wondering what a machine with such a funny name does, it converts your normal paper into toilet paper. Just pop in about 40 sheets of paper, and wait for 30 minutes, and you’ll get a nice toilet roll for your efforts. The process involves shredding the paper, after which it is dissolved in water, thinned out, dried and wound into toilet rolls. Pretty cool. The company says it costs 10 Yen ($0.11) to churn out 1 roll, and regular usage of this machine will save up to 60 cedar trees annually. This would probably be a great machine to boost your eco credentials, though there is one snag: you might be cool with it being 1.8m tall and weighing 600kg, but it’ll be priced at $100,000 when it goes on sale in Japan this summer. Check out a video of it in action.

T-Mobile And Nexus One Users Experiencing Data Issues?

Many Nexus One users are complaining on the T-Mobile and Google forums, claiming that the T-Mobile data coverage is totally down. Some users are stating that the SIM card downloads data fine when swapped to other phones, but others are claiming that it’s a T-Mobile network issue. T-Mobile and HTC tech support centers surely have quite a pickle on their hands. The frustrating issue is probably that nobody is entirely sure what the issue is, but hopefully T-Mobile and Google will get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. How has your data service been on your Nexus One or T-Mobile device over the last 1-2 days?

Samsung S5620 Monte

The Samsung S5600 Preston which rolled out last summer might be in line for a new successor known as the Samsung S5620 Monte. This yet unannounced handset does seem to be shaping up pretty nicely, what with a 3" touchscreen display, HSDPA, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS support and a microSD memory card slot accompanying the device. It will also take advantage of Samsung's TouchWiz user interface, although there is the possibility of it running their very own Bada OS as well. No idea on when the Samsung S5620 Monte will roll out officially, and neither do we have details on its price, but one thing is sure - it is coming.

i-mate JASJAR caught running Windows Mobile 7

While Microsoft has confirmed that they will announce Windows Mobile 7 in the near future (many of us suspect that Mobile World Congress will be the place to do so), someone caught an image of the relatively old i-mate JASJAR running on what is tipped to be Windows Mobile 7, although there are no confirmations on whether this is an early build or the final, consumer-ready version. As for the specifications required to run Windows Mobile 7, there are many variations being bandied about the Internet at the moment - we prefer to wait until Microsoft issues an official statement.

Four wheeled flasher: Pure

With filthy clothes, flashy moves and wolfmother blaring whenever it goes, this is like Motorstorm’s even brattier younger brother. There’s none of the aspirational glamour of racing sims here, Pure is all about caning quad bikes across mucky tracks until your brain downs in adrenaline. The tricks and slicks, the racing feels chaotic and everything from the sand up to the sky looks super polished.

It’s not just about being fastest, though. You need to pull off tricks to fill your Thrill Meter, which unlocks new moves and gives you extra speed when you are getting close to the finish line. There are three tries of stunts, which are all idiot proof, and all you need to worry about is having enough time to finish the move and get back on your bike before you smash back down to Earth. The big showpiece of any race is the Assassin’s Creed style moment when you leap off a stupid sized jump, time slows and you pull one of the invariable ludicrous signaturemoves as the ground drops away.

Depending on the type of event you choose, race, freestyle or sprint, you will need to balance tricks and boost differently, and you will have to learn to master them all to climb the world tour ranks. The only trouble is the more you play, the harder it is to get in the initial buss back, because tracks are repeated and the range of individuals’moves isn’t huge. You can win new parts to customize your quads but, unless you a are a total petrolhead, a new set of handlebars isn’t going to make the same dirt track seem any more exciting.

HTC HD2 gets optional extended battery and kickstand

If the battery life was your only concern about the omnipresent HTC HD2 we have some great news coming your way. HTC has just come up with an extended battery that packs twice the juice of the original one. And to make things even sweeter it throws in a kickstand as well, which should be a major boost to the video watching experience.

The bad (though perfectly expected) news is that those come with a replacement battery cover that adds a few millimeters to the HTC HD2 waistline. This however shouldn’t be too much of a concern, since the device is only 11mm thick with its original casing and even with the saucier battery it will still remain among the slimmest smartphones available on the market.

Our dedicated battery test indicated that the HTC HD2 in-box battery performance was pretty decent indeed so we guess the extended one should be able to take you through a day even if you don’t let it rest for a second. Just think about it – 9 hours of video playback sounds almost insane, considering the 1GHz CPU and the 4.3” WVGA screen.

Casio Hybrid GPS Tracks both in and outdoors

Casio are launching a new hybrid GPS camera that aims to track where you are when you capture photos both in and outdoors. It achieves this by using a mixture of GPS data and accelerometer data. The theory behind the Hybrid GPS system is that most cameras, if not all, spend most of their time out of sight of a GPS lock and thus, you can’t really get a fix most of the time. By getting a fix with the GPS unit the camera system can then measure with accelerometer movement where the camera is moving and what direction giving a rough estimate to where it is, even when you walk around your home or leave it in the back of the car.

Accelerometers have been found in cameras for a few years now to detect orientation of the camera, ie, is it landscape or portrait and they rotate images accordingly. Some even detect if the camera is the right way up and can then spot the sky more easily and adjust settings accordingly.

By mixing the two together the camera will be capable of giving a fairly good geo-targeted guess when it stamps the image file with co-ordinates.

From what the picture below shows it seems like a mapping system is also included on the camera that uses push-pins to mark where your photos were taken allowing you to flick through them by location.

GPS isn’t used that much in cameras yet and a lot of cameras rely on external GPS systems that link with your camera. Part of the reason is probably battery life. By using a hybrid system Casio could just turn the camera’s GPS on from time to time to get an exact location and then carry on with the inertia from the accelerometers to fill in the gaps.

It’s certainly going to be an interesting year for cameras again just like 2009 was. Add in digital compasses and the wireless features of some cameras then you’ll know which direction the photo was taken and be able to upload to Flickr. Maybe Google will allow data to be augmented in to their 3D building maker software too.
