Samsung Instinct vs. iPhone 3G: which one will be better?

It's not only the battle of two devices it is the battle of two cell phone services providers: Sprint and AT&T. These two phones will be their best and most powerful presenters that they have. iPhone 3G is not out yet but AT&T was successfully selling the previous versions of iPhone for almost a year now. So some people love AT&T and other love Sprint and it's their choice. What we are going to do is compare the features of the two phones.

First of all let's do the comparison of the exterior of Samsung Instinct and iPhone. Instinct is made mainly of plastic which is not that neat today; iPhone has pats made of metal and harden glass to prevent it from scratching.

As to AT&T vs. Sprint there are some advantages and disadvantages; but concerning these phones Sprint is giving very high internet speeds and music store from any point of coverage. AT&T's iPhone can only connect to iTunes store via Wi-Fi, which restricts it to the city limits. Besides, everybody knows about Samsung Instinct's and iPhone's GPS capabilities.

I personally liked the voice control on Samsung Instinct; however not sure if it would work as good as they demonstrate it, so train your speech to be able to control it.
I'm not sure if it was a good idea to have the keyboard only in landscape mode. My personal opinion is that I want to choose what mode to use because it really frustrates me that I need to turn it every time I want to input some text.

One more thing that I love about Instinct is its open platform. I really like to install and use the software I choose. iPhone has made a pretty good job on giving positive experience for the customers but it is closed platform.

Another good thing about Instinct is that they give an additional battery and an external battery charger, which can be very helpful during traveling.

iPhone should be twice as fast in web browsing as the old iPhone is. It supports Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM, EDGE, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, UMTS connectivity and that's what they are proud about. One of the biggest news: it will be able to give you 3G video talks with your friends.

One other big news is that Apple is going to allow third party applications on their iPhone but only those that are approved by them. Not sure how popular that will be. Apple has done a pretty good job on the user interface. And the question I have is: "Will the third party applications be free or they are going to charge the customers for that?" The platform it is running on is Mac OS X Mobile which should bring the customers best experiences.

In the rest of features the iPhone 3G will be just as its predecessor (one of the best phones out there.) It will roll out on July the 11th in 70 countries of the world. The 8GB version will cost $199 and the 16GB version will cost $299.

BrainPort to offer a new visual experience

For those people who are visually impaired it seems to be possible to see the world. The interesting thing is that a new vision is provided not by eyes but using their tongues. Named BrainPort, this useful gadget announced in 2006 for the first time now offers a special camera making it possible to see the objects surrounding blind people.

The BrainPort is designed to send electrical signals taken by a head mounted camera. This wonder working device makes it possible for blind people to be able to read large text. The camera of this high tech device is capable of taking pictures and delivers them to the base unit to be able to decipher signals received.

Once the signals are converted into electrical impulses, the user’s tongue will feel some shivering. However, depending on sensational threshold, blind people can adjust the tongue’s response. This smart vision device is expected to be available next year if everything goes as planned with an expected price tag of 10 000 USD.

LED + Cooler Fan

I have seen many different Cooler Fans With built in LED lights. They had different colors and shapes; they had different sizes and other different features. However, I have never seen a cooler Fan like this.

This gadget fan has a unique feature. This feature is that this fan can actually display a phrase that you want. You can even make it display your name or whatever you want. Taiwan scientists from Polo Tech have designed this unique fan.

I put a see-through side panel on my computer case and installed this cool fan on it. Now I can write different phrases and the fan will display them. This fan can also change the color of the phrases, or you can change the size of the letters. It does look very cool at nights because of its bright color lights.

There is one problem though when you buy a cooler like this and this problem is that you need to buy a glass or plastic panel for you PC case in order to see the new fan. Moreover, it will not look as cool if your computer case is under the table or somewhere where you cannot see it.

On the other hand, you can install it on the outside of the case as my friend did. I think that we will soon see the new gadget fans that will not only be able to display phrases but they will be able to display pictures too.

New at Verizon Wireless: Samsung Rogue and Samsung Intesity

Verizon Wireless has announced availability of two new Samsung messaging phones. The cheaper model is Samsung Intensity. This one is a straight forward messenger with a sliding side full QWERTY, 1.3 megapixel cam, web and IM capabilities and 29.99 bucks on the tag. The other one, Samsung Rogue, is a whole different mobile phone however. The only thing it has in common with Intensity is a keyboard. Everything else is from a completely different division.

First and the best thing about Rogue is its AMOLED display. A 3.1 inch WVGA touchscreen promises to deliver state-of-art image and blazing response time. Good job Rouge has VCAST video on demand support, video recording and editing features. MicroSD slot limited to 16GB and 3.0 camera seem a bit yesterday, but who wants pictures on the go in hi-res anyway. I have mentioned above messaging trend of both, so AMOLED display, QWERTY and camera, all come on purpose of social networking. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other widgets are on their place in Rogue. Price is (just) 99.99 USD.

NovoThink Solar Surge charger for iPhones and iPods

We got used to see solar chargers appearing all around especially before summer. We’ve seen and reviewed a good slag of them. Mostly, solar chargers require a bit of compromise in day-to-day usage – freedom they offer can be bogged down by taking care of them like leaving the thing in the sun and carrying extra weight. Anyway, here is a one more solar power gadget, the one for iPhone and iPod this time.

NovoThink, the company which designed and is selling Solar Surge solar charger for iPhone/iPod has done an amazing thing. First, NovoThink has approved their solar cell case at Apple, which means it will actually work. Second, it’s specs are really impressive. Solar panel distributes 5.5V at 100 mAh if there is no clouds whatsoever, then, after two hours you will have 30 minutes talk time on 3G and double that on 2G. Solar Surge inbuilt battery is 20% bigger than the iPhone’s and can be charged via USB 2.0 while synchronizing data. Approximate dimensions are: 4.9" x 2.7" x 0.9", weight is 7 oz. In addition you can choose from a vast variety of colors. The only problem about the Surge I can imagine is that high temperatures may cause problems for lithium ion batteries which is kind of worrying if it’s meant to stay in the sun.

Reimage - full repair of Windows XP online. Coming soon to your Vista

Safety proportions in everyday PC usage are pretty much a big part of every user’s attention. It happens so that the most popular desktop OS developer appears to be suffering from thousands of different viruses, malware and spyware attacks on sometimes careless, but mostly helpless users. We are talking about Windows of course. Let’s not forget shall we that even though MS is currently multitasking at three operating systems at a time, the oldest one of three – Windows XP – seems to hold its stand firmly. Therefore keeping XP virus free isn’t any less a topical issue than it used to be. Here we want to refer to Reimage – a unique system recovery tool. Unlike any other antivirus software, Reimage can come in handy even when system is already infected and/or badly damaged. Reimage works only with Win XP, but there will be a Vista version soon and hopefully another one for Windows 7 when it arrives.

Reimage Home Edition has combined a lot of different computer repairing tools working under proprietary technology. In Reimage they like to say their product works just like a professional IT specialist would be working on an exploited XP. This is Video: How the technology works Reimage Home Edition is an ActiveX agent that repairs Windows XP PCs remotely over a corporate network or the Web. First of all, Reimage performs a system scan, then the results are taken through their library to see what your systems lacks and what it needs to be removed. After the scan, repairer picks to pieces all the system faults and cures them. Mind you, that Reimage is not a removal tool. Virus and spyware removal should be done manually or by any other free virus removal software. Any will do, because by the time Reimage finishes working, all malicious scripts will be safely isolated. Search majorgeeks.com or any other similar site for needed utilities. Non-removing feature also prevents Reimage from deleting user’s files occasionally.

You computer may not be necessarily infected to use Reimage. It will also fix numerous XP problems like slower performance after long usage, booting problems and appearing BSOD, DLL or registry failures. As a result, you will get your PC working as good as new every from to day to day.

Reimage offers four plan schemes to choose form. The entry point is a single PC repair for 65 USD and the ultimate solution requires 149 USD for unlimited number of repairs. All plans guarantee to return your money back if the fix didn’t work and you get a free PC performance analysis before you decide to buy the online repair or not. We would also advise you to visit Reimage blog to find out more about the technology.

Microsoft launches Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2

Microsoft officially announced the Release of Manufacturing versions of Service Pack 2 of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. The Service Pack 2 includes many updates. For example, one of the updates was support for emerging hardware standards. Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008 includes a single installer. It make easier the management and installation of SP2.

Let’s look through updates. Windows Vista SP2 became more comfortable to use. Now it includes Windows Search 4.0 for faster searches and native Blu-ray recording. Also SP2 includes Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack and Windows Connect Now. With Windows Connect Now users can set up Wi-Fi connection very easy. And this is not all. Windows Vista SP2 includes support for UTC timestamps in the exFAT file system. It allows users to synchronize file across time zones correctly.

The information about changes in Windows Vista SP2 and in Windows Server 2008 SP is available on Microsoft’s site. Service Pack 2 will be available to the public later this spring.

Google Chrome OS vs Jolicloud

Since Google Chrome OS announcement has came down the pipeline from officials, most of reviewers on the web found themselves in tireless trial of opposing Chrome OS to Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Linux (Mint mostly). This all is very interesting and I recon debates will not stop even when Win 7 and Chrome OS will both be out of beta. Yet there could be a point missed in these discussions. Google underlines web orientation of the announced operating system, which in few words means it will do everything perfectly well until you decide to launch an app installed on your netbook, old PC, you name it, rather than using resources of web servers. Windows 7 on the other hand is meant to be everything for everyone. Therefore they are not quite in the same league. So, here is what we are going to do then – stack up Chrome OS with Jolicloud.

Jolicloud leaked in late '08. Tariq Krim, founder of Netvibes don't you know, and his team of two are basically the only people behind the whole project. He was the first to pronounce a lightweight web orientated OS for netbooks. Even though rumors about Google OS have appeared much earlier, right after Google browser has offered faster web experience despite being in beta I think, first official statement goes to Jolicloud. In fact there was no such thing as "web OS" back then (do not mess with Palm webOS). Anyway, what we have here is two operating systems which have in common, well, practically everything:

* Linux kernel

* Open source platform

* Web orientation and custom browsers

* Low system requirements

* Wide compatibility

* Plans for a powerful developer community


That's a rear thing to see so many matches today, isn't it? It might even appear that what we are having here is a great idea of one ripped off by another. I'd be careful here because this is not likely. Still, there are also important distinctions.

Google has the best search engine at the moment and many popular web services along that. This is their territory, this is where they earn money. Making an Internet operating system they are trying to enhance popularity of their prime source of income. Where Jolicloud has emerged from pure desire to give netbooks a needed eased up software environment.

How will these affect their market shares? Well, having larger developer power behind its shoulders, Chrome OS will plausibly have less glitches and bugs and be more flexible, because fixing serious problems is nothing like it is for Tariq Krim and mates. There is also a sense that Google will not lay off and go on and on promoting Chrome OS, and Jolicloud, who knows how they will react to different obstacles, whether they even will. I just can not have the same credence in both.

Jolicloud is now available in Alpha 2b version, that's a 600MB download. Be sure to check availability list before testing it. As a consumer advice though, with which in mind I started this showdown, do not get used to Jolicloud so far – there might something even better cooking. With the whole respect to Tariq Krim, he would be so much better of if he were half a year faster.

Google Chrome 3.0.195.21 stable

New stable version of Google Chrome web-browser now sees the light of the day. I have been playing with 3.0.195.21 for a couple of days now and was glad to find out that all what you got used to in Google Chrome is still right on its place. And there is more added to Google’s ability to not spoil things for more than a year now. New features and impressions after the jump.


Under the hood

Not so much as a feature, but anyway Chrome developers claim to give JavaScript performance 150% boost. It shows immediately if you are an experienced Chrome user but if you aren’t you will probably hardly be able to tell. I mean Chrome 3 is blazingly fast but then it was almost like this since the day one. But not so stable. I personally can point out better Flash performance, which by the way is dropped off if you happen to open a HTML5 page. Its goodies are supported in v3.0.195.21 stable as standard.

User interface

User interface has been added the biggest instantly noticeable amount of improvements. First, there are 28 new themes for the browser starting with minimalistic white skin and ending with funky graffiti. Also a minor but useful improvement can be found in the Omnibox. Now when you start typing a search query or an URL it lets you know where all the suggestions come from like search engine, visited links history, etc. Home screen has also changed. The bookmark list at the right is out, instead we have our thumbs in two rows with four thumbs in each. One thumbnail less than before, but now their order is fully customizable. You can arrange them in a plain and simple list also.

The good

Not a single crash even though it was enthusiastically given rich JavaScript pages and pages with Flash to cope with. Chrome 3.0.195.21 did both hands down. It also loads faster from the click on the desktop.

The (not so) bad

I still miss my ninth thumbnail and I couldn’t really find a better theme and as a result left it with the default one at the end of the day. I also miss my list of bookmarks but the bar above is still there to help.

The new StressWatch, try not to lie

You wearing a wrist watch? What for? I guess you can easily find what time is it on display of a mobile phone, desktop or onboard dial in a car. Wrist watches nowadays are very much of an accessory rather than a necessity, simple as that. But, "let's just add some more functionality to them since they have an advantage of tight contact with human body" Michael Mathis and Gerda Hopfgartner thought and came up with the StressWatch – a watch that shows real time status of your stress.

StressWatch, I'm afraid won't show you time, but who cares if your opponent can see you rage growing while trying to bicker with you. Black graphs on StressWatche's face are stress meters and the colorful background works like a visualizer of current stress state. Green and blue themes say the watch owner is relaxed, dwells in a nice mood and can even possibly fall asleep every moment, while red and orange telltale blush should draw attention of all security guards available to prevent an assault.

StressWatch has a smart sensor on the strap that reads heart rate and body temperature.

I"m thinking now, this could work as perfect excuse to be abrupt and even honest maybe. "Don't ask me now about your tasteless vulgar outfit – I'm stressed out, see?!" Oh yes, you should get away with it if your StressWatch is all bloodshot. Seriously though, it can be a great indicator to know that you are better off taking a taxi rather than driving through crowded city center. Or StressWatch can easily give out lies. Be careful.

Elpida Memory works on 2-Gigabit DDR2 RAM for mobile devices

Computer science was always in the front rows of science fields that achieve fastest growing speeds. But it seems to me that this days computing on the go outpaces computing on the couch. Every now and then you can stumble on a press release that says that someone cut processing time here and double bandwidth there. And now there is Elpida Memory – the company that made its name designing memory modules for all types of computers out there. The latest gadget from them is a 2-Gigabit DDR2 memory module for mobile devices.

In fact, 2-Gigabit (!) mobile RAM bandwidth is probably not the most important characteristic of the latest unit. This could be done by, say, overclocking an old one. But it would be a mess and won’t work properly, would it? What Elpida did is smartly used their 50nm CMOS. This allowed them to achieve speeds up to 800Mbps while keeping power consumption down low. If we put the latest Elpida stick head to head with an average one that is as fast, the last one would use half as much again (1.8V) as Elpida’s 1.2V.

I have started it by saying that speed is not at the top of the heap here. The thing is that there always is a bottleneck somewhere. In mobile devices whether we take smartphones or PMPs, processor is not fast enough, and what’s more important, a very complex OS itself can be a tie. In PCs it’s usually the hard drive. Back to mobile phones and handhelds, 2-Gigabit speed will really shine in a tandem with one of those latest application processors.

LG Chocolate BL20 slider, 5MP camera is best in it

LG Chocolate BL40 has been launched in early September. And now, right this Monday, 28 they have announced new Chocolate series BL20 slider. Is it much like Palm with its Pre and less well equipped Pixi sitting in the pipeline. Only that since Pre has gone cheaper, prices are on the different level. I've brought Palm example because it's the freshest of the case, all manufacturers do the same at some degree. Since LG Chocolate BL20 is not that much of a pump like Pixi, we'll just have a short specs walkthrough. Release of the BL20 is going to happen in Q4 in UK at O2.

Again much like Pixi, Chocolate BL20 lacks Wi-Fi and even 3G. for decent browsing Chocolate slider’s owner will have to find good EDGE signal and take his time. So, the specs: LG Chocolate BL20 stores its widgets on a 2.4 inch 240 x 320 QVGA TFT display, 262K colors. Camera is fairly nice, has Clear Memo Capture feature for better image of handwritten text, graphs or other stuff printed on paper, 5MP, autofocus and flash. I don’t need to indicate this every time anymore, do I? This is average. 900mAh Li-Ion battery provides 450 hours of standby and five hours of talk time. That should be enough since you won’t be browsing the Web too much on it. Internal memory has 60MB as standard and is expandable up to 16GB via microSD slot. We are only waiting for wider availability info. Price in Europe will be 269 EUR.
