DVB-H technology is currently available in Austria, Finland, Ghana, Kenya, India, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Netherland, Philippines and Switzerland, so these will be the first to get the new 5330 Mobile TV Edition. However, about 20 other countries will be targeted within the next two years.Wrapping it Up
This certainly looks like a ‘highly seducing and compelling device’ for it allows a hassle free mobile TV experience, albeit in limited geographical locations. With the recent launch of the Nokia N900, it seems clear Nokia is set to further penetrate consumer markets in an effort to fuel growth.Related Posts:
There are plenty of skeptics who wonder if the 3rd largest computer manufacturer can succeed in the highly competitive market where thi likes of iPhone, Droid, BlackBerry and N900 compete fiercely. They claim that Dell’s choice of markets (China and Brazil) is illogical because the markets aren’t ready for smartphones yet. They also say the only reason Dell is moving into these markets is because the Mini 3 simply cannot compete with the impressive features of other smartphones.
However, some experts beg to differ.
Granted that other phones have a huge head start, here are some reasons why Dell’s global strategy might just work:
Issues like the quality and variety of mobile apps will still be a major concern for Dell
Although no time-line has been disclosed, the Mini 3i will in fact enter other markets including the USA and will use AT&T’s network there. As the Mini 3 spreads globally, the key challenge will be to differentiate themselves from other smartphones. But the immediate term prospects might be bright.You may find these articles useful:
A mere 220 pounds of water, which scientists insist is ‘a significant amount’, was found and this would be enough to fill around a dozen buckets of 2-gallons each. We know the lunar surface is hydrated but are not sure about how this happened. Several theories exist:
We had always thought the Moon was bone dry so this is potentially a great discovery for mankind, for lunar water can be used:
However, the fact that $79 million were spent on confirming the presence of water which was already discovered by Indians several years ago, makes one wonder if we’re stretching our ambitions in the wrong direction.Now what?
Scientists are planning to send more probes to the Moon to find other sources of ice which may be usable for the purpose of drinking or rocket fuel or even for setting up a lunar base for man. That’s more tax-payers money being spent on things that do not directly or positively affect us.Related Posts
With a 3.5" screen and a high resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (which used for standard internet tablets and is 2.5 times bigger than iPhone's), the N900 present pure viewng pleasure. It uses resistive technology so you can use your nail on the screen, but is still very responsive.Processor and Connectivity
It uses a 600 MHz processor based on OMAP3430 ARM Cortex-A8, which has also been used in iPhone 3G, Palm Pre and Sony Ericsson Satio, and it also has a really high end 3D accelorator (PowerVR SGX with OpenGL ES 2.0). Whether you're a gaming fan or not, you have nothing to complain about as you sit back and savor the "raw speed". The phone is also very flexible in terms of connectivity; it has a TV Out feature, micro-USB connector, integrated FM transmitter and integrated GPS with A-GPS.
With a huge memory of 1 GB (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory) and internal storage of 32 GB, as well as external memory of 10 GB, you can expect full functionality and excellent responsiveness from the phone even as you open up a dozen applications at a time.Size
Dimensions: approx 111 × 60 × 18 mm. The N900 is a great improvement from previous bulky smartphones made by Nokia (recall the E90) and is comparable to the N97, the Ombia HD, iPhone and the Droid. This is pretty good, especially since it has a slider keyboard, but you should expect the 181 kg body to feel noticeably heavier. Despite this, it has a mediocre battery life of 9 hours of talktime.Keys
Like the Droid, the N900 has two keyboards; a QWERTY slider and an onscreen keyboard. It comes down to a matter of preference which keyboard is convenient; the virtual keys are large hence fewer typos are expected but they cover almost half the display, in which case you can simply disable them.Email, GPS and Data network
Supported e-mail platforms are Mail for Exchange, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and you can check a variety of e-mail addresses at once. It's pretty amazing. Plus, it allows access to networks supported by GPRS, WLAN, EDGE, and WCDMA, making room for extensive reach and flexibility. Apart from this, the N900 is pre-loaded with the Ovi Maps application and allows automatic geotagging as well.Web browsing
Since it has a web browser powered by Mozilla and supported by Adobe Flash™ 9.4, you can enjoy a complete online experience with a full screen browsing. Whether you wish to view stock market stats, or watch a video on YouTube or play an online game, the N900 will go all the way for you. Moreover, you can view webpages as they appear on your desktop computer, with the ability to zoom in and out as you wish. However, there have been complaints about the browser being slightly less reactive than that in the iPhone and the videos streaming being a little slow.Camera and other Multimedia
The 5 MP camera is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics and Tessar lens, which come together to provide one of the best picture qualities provided by mobile phones as well as high resolution video recording of 848 × 480 pixels. The Photo Gallery feature is comparable to Android's, but the iPhone 3GS's is much quicker. As far as using the N900 Rover as a music phone is concerned, the experience could be a little better. Although it has two speakers, but again, iPhone 3GS's sound sound quality is slightly better. One thing which is certainly convenient is the built-in FM transmitter.Operating system & Applications
Because the phone uses Maemo 5 (an open-source software originally developed by Linux for computers), the N900 actually bridges the gap between smartphones and laptops. You can multi-task, create multiple desktops which you can view through a panoramic dashboard at once, drag and drop items as you wish, create shortcuts and a lot more. The software is different from other OS such as Android, iPhone, Symbian and Windows Palm but it's extremely user-friendly, innovative, responsive, visually appealing, adaptable and powerful. To give you an example of the creativity element, if you wish to zoom in, you could either double-tap or simply make a circular motion with your finger.
The N900 comes with a few pre-installed widgets, such as Facebook, Twitter and OVI, but it'll take time before third-party developers launch the N900 into iPhone's arena, and that is an important factor that will determine how successful the N900 is.Do you want one too?
I'm sure you do! Some call it the Beast, for obvious reasons. It has everything other smartphones have and a whole lot more and that's why this phone will squash it's competitors and push the smartphone industry into the future. While other phones seem pale compared to the N900's capabilities, a lot depends on the applications developed for the phone.
Despite this, it is certain that Nokia will improve its market share among expensive mobile phone models and compete head-on with Apple and RIM. to gain back ground in the coming years.Related Posts:
Behind Droid’s plastic is the latest version of Google’s Android 2.0 MOPS (Mobile Operating System) and this lends exclusivity to the phone, giving it feature not seen in previous Android Phones. Among these are:
- Seamless integration with Google Voice
- The free Google Maps Navigation software
- Voice navigation
- Easy toggling between different programs
- Greater agility in opening and running a wider range of applications, and
- Integration of phone book with Facebook contacts.
Although Android's Marketplace is primitive compared to Apple’s AppStore, which offer ten times the applications offered for Android, it wont be long before both stores compete neck and neck. Google is keen to attract third party developers and current Android apps cover many basic utilities that allow you to view MS Office documents and access Facebook, and so on.
One area the Droid lacks in absolute terms is its gaming utility, whereas the iPhone and Nokia N-Gage phones have firmly established themselves.
Although the speakers are pretty loud, using the Droid as a music player is a hassle because there are no media synchronisation features, no smart playlists (that generate almost automatically) and no feature to store and view TV shows and movies. In other words, the Droid cannot replace the iPod, where as iPhone can.Two Keyboards – that’s a first
Droid has both a touch keyboard (which is smarter than those in previous versions of Android) as well as a physical slide-out keyboard with a brown navigation key. The physical keyboard isn’t hard to get used too but offers no auto-correct option like the touch-pad does. Plus, the physical keyboard makes the phone noticeably heavier, so if you’re not used to it, the feature is simply redundant.An impressive camera
Droid boasts a 5 MP camera which makes iPhone’s 3.2 MP device look dull. The picture quality is in stark contrast to that of the iPhone as well as previous Motorola phones, even though the flash isn’t exceptional.
Droid’s touch-screen definitely wins; it’s got way more pixels per inch than the iPhone (267 ppi versus 160 ppi) and the screen is larger too (854 x 480 pixel versus 480-by-320-pixel).
The body of the phone, Motorola claims, is the sleekest with a slide-out keypad, but the Droid doesn’t look half as gorgeous as Motorola’s Razr V3i did, and this is a disappointment.
Droid’s brown navigation button in its black and white slider keyboard is less appealing than scroll balls used in previous Android phones as well as the Blackberry. The four-way directional keys are difficult to use and seem like an unnecessary emulation of previous phone designs.Not all that glitters is gold
There are still some flaws that need to be addressed, such as:
- the arduous task of copying-and-pasting text
- the inability to delete applications (once you install an app, the phone assumes you want to keep it forever), and
- difficulty in closing certain programs
These issues will be ironed out once Android enters the maturity phase, as iPhone already has but Google is extremely efficient at learning from its mistakes.
Droid enters a big market with a few competing products, such asRelated Posts:
- Apple’s iPhone
- T-Mobile’s G1 and MyTouch 3G, and
- HTC's Droid Eris.
But Droid’s features supersede those of Droid Eris, G1 and MyTouch 3G. The only competitor Motorola is concerned about is the iPhone, and considering Google’s ability to maneuver and improve itself to win the market, and that Droid uses Verizon, which offers better coverage than AT&T (iPhone’s provider), it’s very likely Motorola and Verizon will lead the market in the years to come with this phone.
