HTC ready to launch windows 7 phones

Posted by admin on July 21st, 2010

The competition in the industry of technology especially in the field of smartphones is too intense to the point that different versions and new updates on the phones are released in a frequent basis. In the latest smartphone updates, Microsoft has taken a step forward to releasing the new Windows7 phones. Well, known to many, the most famous phone that everyone would want to get their hands on is Apple’s iPhone. iPhone is a standard when it comes to the mobile phone industry. Apple is the said to be dominating company in the industry but with the continuous innovations that each company has been developing, will Apple stand the test and challenge of the companies trying to catch up.

One of the possible threats that Apple could have is Microsoft. Microsoft has been on its way to developing the perfect operating system to be installed to the newest phone that will defeat Apple’s iPhone. In addition, it is even said to have finished the making and development of the new Microsoft 7 and is now ready to launch it.

The new Windows 7 will actually be launched by the third quarter of the year 2010. The target month is September so people would be expecting conferences and the exact launching by that time of the year.

Microsoft Windows7 will be regarded as the turning point of the career of the Microsoft generated phones. They are competing with the Blackberry operating system along with the RIMS and the Apple OS. But the target of the company is more than just that. The new Microsoft Windows7 is being modified so as it would run smoothly to phones and function at its best.

One of the handsets that will make use of the new Windows7 is the Mondrian of HTC. The HTC already had verified that indeed Windows7 will be running on their new mobile phone, the Mondrian. Mondrian sports a WVGA display with a measure of 480 x 800 which will make the users go all gaga over the new gadget. The mobile phone would be using the 1.3 GHz Snapdragon as its processor.

Another HTC phone which will make use of the Microsoft’s new operating system, the Windows7, is the HTC Mozart. And according to the Peter Chou, one of these phones run on Windows 7 will be launched. And whether it would be the Mondrian or the Mozart will be up to you to decide.

Success of Google Nexus 1

Posted by admin on July 21st, 2010

Google has been quite famous in creating hype about all its new launches, no matter how small or large they may be. Well, this time with the release of the Nexus One, the computer giants seem to have done its homework perfectly. The company launched its first smartphone, Nexus phone into the market with aim of overtaking Apple’s iPhone. Though it is true that Google has been trying its best to enter the industry of smartphones, it seems to be very difficult to do so considering the existence of iPhone. However, the added features in this new smartphone may be considered a teaser, especially if you are planning to buy one of the best smartphones released in the recent times.

Launched last January, the Nexus one was one of the phones that were rumored to be the set of the iPhone killers. The new released phones of that time were expected to set the new standard in the industry of smartphones. The nexus is the hope of the Google to completely defeat the raging iPhones in the business. Much more, different labels were given to the phone which presupposes high expectation from the phone. Some of the names that were made to fit the nexus phone are superphone, the next step in Android evolution and the web meets phone. With these labels, what more could users expect from the phone?

But this does not seem to be the case for the product. Sales are frustrating and soon disappointments followed the high sets of expectations from the mobile phone. Another factor which contributed to the downfall of the phone was the rumor that there is another edition of the phone which is released with physical keyboard on its use.

With this downfall, Google has hinted the decision of finally stopping the venture on handsets. According to Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, the decision will be entirely based on the effect of nexus one, one of the nexus phones. This aneroid is expected to aid the Android operating system of Google with its venture to create giant handsets.

Schmidt tells Telegraph that the Nexus one is challenged to bring forth the hardware business of phone platform forward. Nexus one was given one and a half year to accomplish this task. And fortunately, the challenge was successful. And though people have criticized the company for this, Google still believe that Nexus one has done excellently.

Moreover, the A4 chip is capable of increasing the power management of the said device and the gyroscope enables motion sensing for application in the phone such as that of games.

For photography and video enthusiasts, Apple promises better photo-editing and video-editing in iMovie for the new iPhone. Moreover, since the phone will sport iOS 4 as its operating system, many features are incorporated together with the system. Though iPhone will still have Google as its home page for internet searching, Bing will be available for option. iBooks are also available for books enthusiasts and iAds will be displayed on applications for higher revenue for the company.

For the moment, iPhone 4 is expected to show the best smart phone that there is. Grab one and know it for yourself!

The Big Difference on Cisco Cius and Apple iPad

Posted by admin on July 9th, 2010

Apple iPad seems to be the fulfillment of a dream of some people. With just a tablet capable of performing computer functions, no wonder people are more than happy to have their hands on the said tablet. As innovations and improvements continue to bombard the world, more and more devices are brought into the market for people’s use. One of these innovations is the new Cisco Cius.

Cisco cius is very similar to the Apple’s iPad but very different in terms of its function and some of the features that it caters. TelePresence video conferencing technology, WebEx Web conferencing and meeting applications are only few of the unique applications that the new tablet offers.

Cius is actually a business-oriented tablet. Technically, it does not intend to compete with the Apple’s iPad according to the Cisco who launched the said device. It is even regarded as a device to compliment the famous iPad but may also be taken as an option in case choosing between the two. The two tablets are very different, starting from the size since iPad is 9.7 inch diagonally while Cius is just 7 inch long diagonally. But both tablets offer 3G and 4G connectivity.

In terms of memory and processor, Cius offers the same memory amount as iPad’s. For its processor, it uses 1GHZ Intel Atom processor which is also similar with the iPad’s. Similarities may have seen with both tablets’ hard ware but what’s different are their applications catering to different functions and purposes.

As revealed earlier, Cius was incorporated to serve businessmen as an aid for their businesses and companies. The existence of TelePresence video conferencing, WebEx Saas, native VPN client and Cisco Quad collaboration platform that will be the avenue for applications that will aid the said tablet. Some of these applications are calendar, instant messaging and VoIP. Moreover, Cius is also capable of using applications of the Android market where users could download any application that they want.

In the aspect of browsing, Mozilla Firefox is its default web browser as iPad has Safari as its browser. It uses the operating system of Android which is innovated by Google and invaded the world with its functions and amazing abilities. The tablet also has a camera with video camera of 5MP installed in front to be used for the conferencing features that the tablet offers.

Cisco Cius and Apple iPad may have its similarities. But Cius is especially tailored for businessmen that enterprises do not actually see the two as competitors but more on two tablets in a different industries.

Details On Window 8: Leaked

Posted by admin on June 30th, 2010

In the fast development and innovations of gadgets and software alike, the best thing about proposing and launching a product is the surprise element that the launching may have especially because of the amazing features that the product might offer. This is what Microsoft wants to gain when launching their soon product, Windows 8.

Microsoft has been silent when it comes to the Windows 8 features and details. But with the different slides that have been leaked on the details of Windows 8, Microsoft can’t let the issue be left confidential anymore.

According to Francisco Martin Garcia’s post on Microsoft Journal, the coming Windows 8 of Microsoft offers amazing features which will be very interesting to the computer makers. Some of these features are the facial recognition authentication and the less than as second resume from the sleep mode of the PC.

Garcia’s post which is composed of slides shows that the coming Windows 8 will support and aid Bluetooth 3.0, 3D displays, USB 3.0 and TV’s wireless connections. The lighting of the PC might also be altered as the user wills through the new operating system. Many other PC settings could also be altered.

Aside from Garcia’s post on Microsoft Journal, there are also slides posted in Microsoft Kitchen dated April 20, 2010. They discuss about Windows 8 but this time more on energy efficiency and PC-makers’ friendliness. Microsoft are said to be holding forums entirely for the development of the new operating system. The new system after the Vista is said to be easily used by the PC makers and make their PCs more unique and original.

Though many details on the Windows 8 are emerging from different kinds of websites, the only certain detail about Windows 8 is that it is expected to be released by 2012.

Viacoms Lawsuit Against Google

Posted by admin on June 30th, 2010

The lawsuit that has lasted well over three years has ultimately won by Google. Viacom had sued Google for use of its works that were copyrighted to make profits. It particularly was against the video sharing website commonly referred to as you tube. However, as expected, Viacom has promised to appeal against the ruling.

Google argument against the suit was that the video sharing website was protected by the digital millennium copyright act.

What led to the judge’s decision?

The judge was able to establish that Google and YouTube were very much aware about the material that was placed on their website was simply infringed copyrights of the materials. However, they still did nothing to stop it and instead just welcomed them. They did this because they thought the material was attractive to users and would bring them a lot of money. The twist came when the judge said that YouTube and Google, when given notice that a particular material was infringing copyright rights, they deleted the material as soon as possible. This is what led to the judge’s decision that since all the video clips that are claimed to have infringed the copyrights were off the video sharing site thus the suit was not viable.

Viacom were not pleased with this decision, especially because of the length of time they had waited. They termed it as being flawed. However, they also viewed the decision as an advantage to them as they would now be able have the appellate court take the matter in their own hands. They will also have the advantage of the appellate court taking the matter on a more accelerated rate.

Thus, Google will continue enjoying the profits till Viacom is able to establish a formidable law suit that will ensure that Google pays up for all the profit they have enjoyed at their expense.

Is Dedicated Hosting The Right Choice?

Posted by admin on June 24th, 2010

There are different kinds of hosting solutions that are available for a person who is trying to get the web site hosted. There are many companies that are present online and they use different kinds of hosting. There are different plans that are available with each hosting company and this is very helpful to you because you can select the plan that will suit you the best. The two main kinds of hosting are the dedicated web hosting and the shared web hosting.

If you are looking for a budget web hosting, then the dedicated web hosting may not be the right choice. The reason for this is that there are many shared hosting services that can be used for less than half the price of a dedicated web hosting. Any company that advertises that they are going to be hosting, advertise only the shared hosting, unless the advertisement specifically talks of dedicated web hosting.

Many new businesses find that the budget web hosting that is available have features that are more than enough for the use of their web hosting. This is because the startup company may not have many web pages and so it may not be really necessary to use a fully fledged web hosting.

There are various factors that will determine the need for the dedicated web hosting and these factors are the bandwidth that you need, the number of domains, the size of the hosting and also the duration of the hosting that you need. If these are not critical, then you might as well select a budget web hosting and change your host as and when you expand your site.

There are many online dedicated hosting reviews that you can use to try and decide on the kind of hosting that you would like for your site. This will help you to form a rough idea about the hosting services available and which will be excellent for your needs.

Choosing The Right Cheap Dedicated Servers

Posted by admin on June 18th, 2010

In order to build a website you will need a place where you have to house all the content you will want to be published online. In order to do this you will need a web hosting company for your site to appear on the internet. Beginners would usually require a budget web hosting companies and the bigger companies with more advanced needs look for a low cost dedicated server. Many such affordable hosting companies can be hired online. However, before we proceed we need to list the various types of hosting services available in the market.
• Shared Web Hosting
Shared or virtual hosting by far is the most common form of webhosting. This means you are sharing the space with several other clients of the company.
• Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting
In this type of server, you still share system resources like the CPU and RAM with other clients but the resources are allocated in such a way that you will have your own privacy and controls
• Dedicated Web Hosting
A dedicated server permits a client to lease the complete computer and have access to all its resources to host one or multiple websites. This makes it a popular solution for large high-traffic websites,
• Managed Web Hosting
Managed web hosting takes the dedicated model of service to higher level by providing support services for the web servers
• Server Co-Location
These are custom built servers and placed in the data centers of hosting companies.
Clearly two main categories are usually demanded by clients – the shared hosting for the new and budget conscious and the cheapest dedicated server for those who need a lot more traffic and operate huge content or multiple sites. Due to the proliferation of hosting companies all over the world, cheap dedicated servers as well as other budget web hosting services abound in the internet.
However as a caveat, users should know that the cut throat competition among the hosting companies force them to do short cuts. Hardware configuration and specifications are usually insufficient at the start of the contract therefore the client will be forced to upgrade the service immediately. In looking for the right Low cost dedicated servers and other budget web hosting service it is important to not just consider the price but reputations of companies you will be using.
