Samsung soon captured the market with its innovative models and affordable pricings. The latest product by the company is the all new Samsung Galaxy Tab. The new Galaxy tab 10.1 is an upgraded version of the original model. It is based on the latest version of Android- honeycomb that is especially developed for tablets.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
by on Jul.22, 2011, under Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson is all set to rule the mobile phone market once again. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a newly launched phone by the company whose popularity is reaching the new heights. The amazing display of 4.2 inches covers almost the entire phone. The thickness of the phone varies due to the arch shape of the phone. The unique shape is a major factor behind its popularity. Also, the chrome strip which is running around the body also enhances its appeal to a great extent. Even iPhone 4 has this kind of strip but the one in Sony Ericsson Arc is far much better. The irresistible look of the phone will surely impress you to a great extent. The screen is not only big in size but also provides you with some really fine imaging solutions. The Bravia mobile engine technology is used in the screen.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has got an eight-megapixel camera, which to a great extent click DSLR like pictures. The various camera features helps to get the best out of the picture. The camera of this phone is among the best available in mobile phone. You can enjoy HD recording in this phone. If you want to transfer the HD files to your PC or notebook, then you can do it easily with the HDMI port that you will get with this phone. The social networking features are not only limited to Facebook and Twitter, as you will also find other social networking integration in Sony Xperia Arc . Check out Xperia Arc mobile phone deals and more reviews.
Apple iPhone Review
by on Jul.22, 2011, under iPhone
The iPhone 4 will probably be replaced in September, though it still heads the field as one of the most desirable phones. We have decided to review the device more than a year on since its release.
Well the iPhone still looks as beautiful as ever; the glass back and aluminum finish really come together to make a great looking device. The simple monolithic shape is nice in the hand, its screen not big and imposing but not too small either. It weighs in at 135g and is certainly more suitable for carrying than some larger devices that leave a bulge in your suit.
The phone experience is fantastic. Apple’s iOS is a lovely operating system – clear, concise and sharp. The system has a number of innovations that have only recently been caught up with and it is a responsive system that really works well with the amazing Retina touch screen.
The screen deserves an honorable mention. It is still probably the best capacitive touch screen on the market, offering unparalleled accuracy of touch. It is also a very high resolution. The 3.5 inches of display manage to show more than the hallowed 300pixels per inch required for the retina screen and when zoomed in the device is fantastic – especially useful for web pages.
The browsing experience is also great and Apple has created a clean and also very fast browser. Its mix of excellent operating system and still fast processor and connections really mean users of Android devices are in for a surprise. Teamed with the aforementioned screen, the Apple is a real treat.
Apple also gave their phone a nice camera this time around – a change from 3GS and previous devices. The 5mp camera is a decent snapper and still holds its own in the market. The frontal VGA for FaceTime is also great and gives the device a lead on all other devices which weren’t frontal camera capable until Android 2.3.
Apples store is also excellent and really goes to show why to a large extent a phone is only as good as the applications available. The iPhone 4 is a lovely machine with well executed applications for everything from business to gaming.
So overall the Apple iPhone 4 on contract is still a dream to use and is far ahead of many of the other devices released by HTC, Samsung and others. The only thing that looks set to topple this device is a well designed and executed Apple iPhone 5.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Review
by on Jul.19, 2011, under Android, Sony Ericsson
The Android platform is among the best out there to compete with Apple and its market dominating iPhone, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a great example of the alternatives out there. While Motorola’s popular Droid series of Android phones won’t be making it across the Atlantic to the UK, the Xperia Arc will prove you are not missing anything.
The first thing you will notice with this phone is how incredibly thin it is. For the power that modern smart phones are running at, it is quite impressive that the Arc measures 8.7mm at its thinnest, in the middle, and 9mm at its thickest, at the ends. Weighing in at 117g really sells how remarkably thin it is; you may have problems leaving the house believing you’ve forgotten your phone when it was in your pocket the entire time.
The touchscreen measures in at 4.2 inches, allowing multi-touch for easier navigation and zoom. While not as good as the iPhone 4’s 640×690 pixel display, the Arc’s 480×854 pixel screen is still vibrant and accurate in its presentation of colours. However, where the iPhone has greatly frustrated its fan base in its lack of Flash support, the Android 2.3 does run Flash so you can experience much of the online content out there that iPhone users cannot. So, you’ll have no problem viewing Fosters’ online videos of Reeves and Mortimer!
The battery life of the Arc will vary with each user’s usage, varying from 1 day to 2 days before needing to be recharged. While not extraordinary, there are worse performing batteries out there but you should be prepared to charge quite often.
The Arc boasts a decent camera which takes photos well in the light and the dark and is capable of shooting 720p high definition video which is very smooth to use, overall more than you’ll need for a phone’s camera.
On the whole, the Xperia Arc impresses in a lot of areas but excels in few. If you are looking for a phone that will do the smartphone basics and do them well then it is a fantastic phone for you but it is not starting a revolution.

New Apps
by Doc_Ren on Apr.18, 2011, under Gadgets, Innovative Technology, Mobile Applications, Mobile Hobby
Google has announced new features for their Google Apps customers – mainly enterprise looking to take their business to the cloud. Firstly, they’ve added features that third-party offerings have provided for a while that’ll allow you to remotely locate your device on a map, remotely reset your PIN or password, and will allow you to make it ring in case it’s somewhere near you.
Those who use Android tablets now have the ability to encrypt data on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, something that was only available for previous versions of Android. Finally, they’ve released a new contact to help make finding your corporate contacts a lot easier. It’s called Google Apps Lookup and can be had in the Android market, but your administrator needs to ensure that the “Shared Contacts” feature is on in the control panel. More details about today’s updates can be found at the Google Enterprise Blog – http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/04/putting-android-to-work-for-your.html
So, with the new version of the Google Apps Device Policy app, you can quickly secure a lost or stolen Android 2.2+ device by locating it on a map, ringing the device, and resetting the device PIN or password remotely via the new My Devices website. It akso has an option in the control panel to “Encrypt Data on Device”, which will now include requiring encrypted storage on Android 3.0 tablets. Devices will need version 2.0 of the Google Apps Device Policy app.
A new corporate contacts app makes it easier to find and contact people in your organization. Type (or speak) the name or email address of a coworker, and then tap to call, email, IM or send a text message. Lookup pulls information from the Google Apps directory, so admins need to enable “Shared Contacts” in the control panel before employees can use Lookup on their Android 2.1+ devices.
