The Nokia N96 multimedia computer is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an estimated sales price of approximately 550 euros, before subsidies or taxes.

The Nokia N96 we introduced today builds on the success of N95, further enhancing the experience,’ says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia’s Explore category. ‘Through the power of the Internet, video and TV are becoming even more prevalent in people’s lives.

The massive memory can store up to 40 hours of video content. The storage capacity of the Nokia N96 can even be further expanded with an optional microSD card, such as the new Nokia 8GB microSDHC Card MU-43 which increases the available memory of the Nokia N96 to a total of 24 GB. For added convenience, the Nokia N96 features a ‘kickstand’ on the back cover that allows for hands-free viewing.

For a superb music experience, the Nokia N96 features media keys, a 3.5 mm headphone connector and built-in 3D stereo speakers. The Nokia Maps application offers richer maps with urban details and satellite views and has upgrade options such as City Guides, turn-by-turn pedestrian mode and voice-guided car navigation.

The Nokia N96 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second. Further, with the integrated A-GPS, consumers can now ‘geotag’ their pictures with location data and share them with their online communities. The Nokia N96 naturally supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including maps, music, media sharing and more.

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta Is Out, Bugs Included

By Global Admin 0 Comments
Categories: Gadget, News and Opera Mobile

Opera Mobile 9.5Opera has just released the latest version of its Opera Mobile web browser for Windows Mobile, the 9.5 beta, which comes with lots of enhancements but also with several bugs (since it’s a beta version).

Opera Mobile 9.5 beta has a new user interface (UI), presented as more intuitive and cleaner than the UIs from the previous versions. Furthermore, the new browser is faster and features the following:

– support for Opera Dragonfly, which enables developers to check Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or debug JavaScript;

– pan and zoom – full page viewing is now the browser’s default mode and users can pan and zoom into any desired area of the page(s);

– quick and easy page and image saving;

– and enhanced standards support;

“Our fans have been eager for the release of Opera Mobile 9.5 since it first appeared at the Mobile World Congress this year. We are now answering the call of the people and delivering what we proudly proclaim to be our best Opera Mobile browser to date. It is a totally new user experience,” said Jon von Tetzchner, Chief Executive Officer at Opera Software. That’s surely an enthusiastic statement, but maybe Mr. von Tetzchner should have waited until the browser gets to be released in the 9.5 final (and stable) version.

The bugs and issues that the 9.5 beta version of Opera Mobile comes with include:

– no ActiveX support – hence embedded video streaming and Flash plugins will not work;

– custom-made IMEs (input method editors) are “buggy at best, not working at worst” when Opera Mobile 9.5 beta is installed on your handset;

– in overview mode, the text will not be displayed correctly;

– when installed on a memory card, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta may cause unexpected problems (crashes, most probably);

– except English, no other language is supported.

These being said, before installing the new Opera Mobile 9.5 beta on your handset, make sure not to expect a flawless functionality. Moreover, the installation of the 9.5 beta is only recommended for advanced users and developers, since it may lead to “data loss or other unintended actions”. Thus, regular users had better wait for the final 9.5 version of the famous mobile browser.

Samsung M150 Available across Europe in August

Categories: Gadget, News and Samsung

Besides announcing the upcoming Italian availability of the high-end i900 Omnia Pocket PC, Samsung has also recently unveiled the release of another new phone, named M150 and targeted for fashion-conscious users who don’t want to spend too much money on a mobile device.

First presented together with the J800 model, which is a slider, the new Samsung M150 comes in a simple but nice candybar case. It measures only 106.5 x 45.4 x 12.7 millimeters and brings the following features: a 1.77 inch TFT display with 65K colors and 128 x 160 pixels, dual-band GSM connectivity with GPRS (EDGE is missing), Music player (supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+ and RA), FM radio, WAP 2.0 browser, email capabilities, personalized ringtones, a VGA camera with video recording, speakerphone, embedded games, calendar, alarm clock, 20MB of internal memory and so on (it’s not clear yet if the phone has a microSD card slot too).

In order to attract as many users as possible, Samsung will offer the new M150 in no less than 5 color versions: Ice Blue, Pure White, Light Gray, Charcoal Gray and Lavender Pink.

The first market to get the Samsung M150 (or SGH-M150) will be Germany, where the slim candybar should be on sale starting mid-August. After that, the handset will also be released in other markets across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Apparently, mobile users from North and South America will not be able to buy the M150.

No word yet on the exact retail price of Samsung M150, but its features don’t actually qualify it for one higher than 200 Euros. With a contract agreement from some carriers, the M150 might even be offered for free, so if free handsets are your coup of tea, be sure to check out this new Samsung.

Apple Is Testing iPhone OS 2.0.1

By Global Admin 0 Comments
Categories: Gadget and iPhone

Apple Is Testing iPhone OS 2.0.1Apache server logs have revealed that requests from phones running two distinct iPhone Software 2.0.1 builds are coming from the San Francisco Bay Area (near Apple’s Cupertino HQ) and Atlanta (where AT&T is at). It is believed that OS 2.0.1 will resolve the issues emerged with some iPhones after the 2.0 update last Friday.

AppleInsider could confirm that build 5B101 is aimed at first-generation
iPhones, while build 5B103 is targeting the new 3G device. “Although Apple began testing the updates prior to the official release of iPhone Software v2.0 on Friday, neither have made their way into the hands of iPhone developers,” the site notes.

This week, Apple Discussions has revealed that dozens of iPhone users are experiencing crippled camera applications, and some issues with the accelerometer on the new iPhone 3G, after upgrading the phone’s software. Some users claimed that, after updating, it took a full six seconds for the camera application to launch and the digital shutter to open to be able to take a photo.

“I have an original iPhone and after updating to iPhone update 2.0, my camera got noticeably slower,” a user wrote. “I would say unacceptably slower. It takes around 6 seconds to launch, 3 seconds to return to camera after viewing recent photos, and six second to take a photo after the last photo is taken!” Because of this, some users are quite disappointed by not being able to take spontaneous photos.

As for the second issue encountered after the 2.0 update, others complained of bad responsiveness on behalf of the iPhone 3G’s accelerometer: jerky responses, unintentional landscape shifts, or no response at all after the handset sleeps, are just some of the issues pointed out by AppleInsider.

“My accelerometer is also having problems,” a disappointed 3G owner wrote on Apple Discussions. “It works perfectly until the iPhone sleeps for 30 seconds or more – when it wakes the screen no longer rotates (in photos, safari, calculator, etc).” He added that “accelerometer based games behave as if the top of the phone is pointing down to the ground,” while other motions still have an effect in the same application. “…it seems to be just one of the 3 accelerometer axes that is reporting the wrong value,” the user concluded.

Apple hasn’t said a word about whether software update 2.0.1 for iPhone and iPhone 3G is even being tested, let alone mention the issues it is aimed at. Nevertheless, nasty bugs such as the ones mentioned above simply can’t be ignored, so it is safe to assume that iPhone software 2.0.1 is coming to the rescue.

Ezio Mega4, the iPhonicsson

By Global Admin 0 Comments
Categories: Gadget, News and Others

Ezio Mega4 is a brand new mobile phone that comes from South Korea but it’s not made by any of the Samsung, LG or Pantech giants. The Mega4 is manufactured by Ezze Mobile Tech, a company that we’ve heard of before, on the occasion of FCC’s approval for its SLT100 handset.

Now the FCC brings Ezze into the spotlight again, as it approved the new Ezio Mega4 too, a touchscreen phone that looks like a mix between Apple’s iPhone and a Sony Ericsson handset (the W910 Walkman slider, for example). Well, it’s not the first (and certainly not the last) time when a new device brings similarities with older ones, so I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by this new handset.

From Ezio Mega4’s User Manual we know that the new phone features the following: TV out, Video player, Music player with auto equalizer, FM radio (with recorder but sans RDS), a 2 Megapixel camera with Flash, self-timer and video recording (no auto focus, though), Photo Editor and Photo Album, MMS capabilities, Bluetooth 1.2 , WAP browser, email, e-book reader, flight mode, Caller ID, Java MIDP 2.0, 2 embedded games, sound recorder, file manager, vCard, To Do list, calendar, calculator, alarm clock, world clock, unit converter, currency converter, stopwatch and a BMI (Body Mass Index) application.

A thing that’s not at all great about the new Esio phone is that it only features tri-band GSM connectivity (850 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS, hence it won’t be able to provide fast data transfer speeds or an optimal Web browsing experience.

The size and resolution of Mega4’s touchscreen display is not known, nor are its weight and size or its internal memory.

Since the new Ezio has just received FCC’s blessing and it’s compatible with the North American GSM networks, the handset might soon hit the US market – although, being GPRS-only, I’m not sure how many users will be enthusiastic about it.

O2 XDA Vista – New Pocket PC from China

By Global Admin 0 Comments
Categories: Gadget, News and Others

If, for some odd reasons, you have always dreamed of having a Vista Pocket PC, your dream can now finally come true, thanks to a new mobile device named O2 XDA Vista. At first, when I stumbled upon this device, I thought that maybe O2, the well-known global mobile operator, made a fabulous deal with Microsoft in
order to use the Vista branding on a new Pocket PC from its XDA line-up.

Well, no, O2 hasn’t made any Vista deal, nor did Microsoft license the use of its latest OS (or of its name) for any mobile device on the market. The mystery behind the handset called O2 XDA Vista can be found in China, where the Pocket PC was made and where, according to IT168, it will be on sale, for retail prices of around 3,500 yuan – the equivalent of $510 or 325 Euros.

To make it clear, O2 XDA Vista has nothing to do with either the real O2 or with the real Vista. It’s just another copycat device, but one that has the “merit” of cloning and ripping off quite a lot of handsets and brands.

When closed and seen from the front, the O2 XDA Vista looks like a Nokia handset, as its navigation keys are made in such a way that they resemble the ones of an Eseries smarpthone (E90, for example). When seen from the back, the XDA Vista unveils a 3 Megapixel camera as well as the logos of O2 and Windows Vista – both put there without the consent of their true owners.

When open, the O2 XDA Vista unveils a full QWERTY keyboard, bringing in mind several HTC devices as well as the Toshiba G900. The display packed by O2 XDA Vista is a 480 x 800 pixels touchscreen one, à la Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

What’s funny is that, although it bears the Vista name and logo, this new Chinese Pocket PC doesn’t even run on the latest Windows Mobile 6.1, but only on the 6.0 version.

The rest of the features packed in the XDA wannabe apparently include: GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity, mobile TV capabilities, Music player and an Intel XScale 520 MHz Processor.

What’s left to say is that the company that made the so-called O2 XDA Vista should seriously think not to release it on the market, as there are at least three giants that can easily accuse it of ripping off their work – O2, Microsoft and Nokia.
