LG's second Android based smartphone

0 comments



It's time for more news from Las Vegas. The CES isn't only about mobile phones but there are still enough premieres to make it to our headlines. One of the numerous promising devices announced during this year's CES is the LG GT540 Swift. This is LG's second smartphone based on Android (after the GW620) but apart from that it's just another phone born to feed up the social networking service mania.
The Swift rounded design seems kinda inspired by Sony Ericsson's W595  but fortunately LG's newborn looks way better (especially its textured ivory-like back). As seen on the images above there will be various color versions of the GT540 available. The phone front is taken by the 320 x 480 pixel resistive touchscreen while on the back there is a 3-megapixel autofocus camera.
The Android UI on the GT540 seems a vanilla one save for the four S-Class-like buttons at the bottom. When it comes to the social networking part, the GT540 has a dedicated SNS Manager to take care of Facebook, Twitter, and Bebo.
The LG GT540 supports 3G with HSDPA as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetoth. It will have an integrated GPS receiver and will carry along all the Google mobile services you can expect from any Android smartphone. So, you'll have access to Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, etc.
The smartphone packs native support for DivX and WMV video files and will have a Motion UI player (don't really know what that is) and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. The microSD card slot is ready to accommodate cards with up to 32GB of capacity.
The LG GT540 will hit the stores across the globe this April but the price is still a mystery. However, the phone is expected to be quite affordable since it was meant to be its owners' first touchscreen equipped smartphone.

Atom-powered LG GW990 rocks the smartphone world

0 comments



The LG GW990 was the star of the company keynote speech at CES this year. The full-touch device makes a brave attempt at resurrecting the MID class of devices by introducing specs well beyond the reach of any contemporary smartphone.
The LG GW990 is built around a 4.8" display with a resolution of 1020 x 480 and packs an 45nm Atom-core Pineview CPU of unknown clock speed. The high network data transfer rates are assured by 7.2Mbps HSDPA and 5.76Mbps HSUPA.
We had our doubts if it's a phone at all, but LG officially called it "a smartphone" so we think, that should be clear now.
LG GW990 also offers a 5 megapixel camera, HD video and GPS. The operating system for this new powerhouse is a skinned version of the Linux-based Moblin OS, which looks virtually identical to the LG proprietary S-class UI.
An extra effort has been done to create a handset that is really power-efficient, consuming 10 times less electricity than last year's Atom chipsets. That should help the 1850 mAh battery last for quite a while even with a screen of this caliber.
Here is a brief demo video of the LG GW990 so you can get to know the handset better.
There is no information about the availability or the pricing of the LG GW990 just yet but we suppose it won't be coming until late 2010 at best.

Next Generation iPhone Might Come With LED

0 comments



The past year has seen a lot of new smartphones  (and superphones ) arrive in the market. Though the iPhone still retains its popularity over its competitors, one feature that it truly lags behind is in its camera technology .
All of us users do know for a fact that while the camera produces pretty crispy images in natural light, things aren't good in low-light situations due to lack of camera flash.
Few days back, there were reports about Apple having signed a contract with Omnivision Technologies to purchase 5 megapixel CMOS image sensors  from the company. At that time, we had written that a 5MP camera could bridge the one apparent gap between the iPhone and Motorola Droid.
Now, there are more interesting rumors. The next generation of iPhone could in fact also come with LED camera flash. Folks at Apple Insider report their sources as saying that Apple is shopping for "tens of millions" of LED camera flash components for delivery through 2010. It is believed that the next generation of iPod touch  could also come with this component. Philips Lumileds Lighting sector, the makers of LUXEON LED camera flashes is said to be the most likely firm to bag the contract.
As with all our earliers speculations , this one too has to be taken with grain of salt. But we hope this one is correct as it's high time Apple included camera flash technology in the iPhone. If all of these rumors were to come true, you can expect a 64GB iPhone 4G with 5MP camera (with LED flash) running on multi-core processors  and possibly on CDMA as well as GSM.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Review

0 comments



The sharp and compact BlackBerry Curve 8900 spells business and oozes with class. Easily the hottest looker in the Curve lineup - and possibly portfolio-wide - earns much respect as a massive functionality upgrade over its predecessors.
The distinct insider kind of charm of the BlackBerry handsets phases out into history as RIM are trying to take on the world and competitors with a new design language. OK, baptizing new converts was the Storm's job while the Curve 8900 seems the right stuff to inspire upgraders. Either way, we're happy to extend our BlackBerry streak and put the latest Curve through its paces.

Key features:

  • 2.4" 65K-color TFT landscape display with a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels
  • Comfortable four-row full QWERTY keyboard
  • Quad-band GSM support
  • Wi-Fi
  • BlackBerry OS v4.6
  • Trackball navigation
  • Built-in GPS and BlackBerry maps preloaded
  • 3.15 MP autofocus camera, LED flash
  • 512 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM
  • Hot-swappable microSD card slot
  • Good build quality
  • DivX and XviD video support
  • Compact body
  • Good web browser
  • 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Nice audio quality
  • Smart dialing

Main disadvantages:

  • No 3G
  • No email support without BlackBerry Internet Service account
  • Mediocre camera
  • No FM radio
BlackBerry 8900 Curve doesn't pack the groundbreaking punch of its Storm sibling. Despite the fact that it upgrades the older generation of Curves quite painstakingly the whole user experience implies evolution rather than revolution. But then, that might just be the right approach from an upgrader's point of view.
To begin with, there's both Wi-Fi and GPS, which was until now impossible to have in a single BlackBerry Curve 83xx handset. The screen resolution is also more than doubled and the device has become quite slimmer and so much prettier. Now that sounds like a pretty solid foundation for success but still doesn't mean the Curve can afford to be complacent.
User-friendliness and performance matter the most in reality and we know better than judging a phone before we have tested it.
So, we're about to nudge the BlackBerry Curve 8900 awake and take it out for a spin. Care to join the ride?

Friday, January 8, 2010 INTEL released a flurry of new computer chips...The New Microprocessors

INTEL released a flurry of new computer chips...The New Microprocessors
January, INTEL released a flurry of new computer chips as the tech giant seeks to maintain its dominant position in the PC industry and prepares for


an expected boost in demand.
The new microprocessors, designed to power desktop and laptop PCs, are the first of a new generation of chips featuring smaller transistors that Intel said will juice performance and improve energy efficiency.

Intel released these new chips ahead of arch-foe Advanced Micro Devices, which is not due to field chips featuring the smaller 32-nanometer circuits until 2011.

"The juggernaut is rolling on, if you will," said David Kanter, an analyst with Real World Technologies. "It's important because it's their first 32 nanometer products, but if you're looking at what they're releasing in notebook and desktop, this is where they (Intel) already have a lead over AMD."

Intel, the world's No. 1 chipmaker, had an 81.5 per cent share of the PC and server microprocessor market in the third quarter, according to Mercury Research. AMD had a 17.8 per cent share.

The introduction of the new processors come on the heels of the release of Microsoft's new Windows 7 PC operating system software, which Intel executives expect will prompt consumers and businesses to upgrade to new, more powerful PCs.

The chipmaker is slated to report its fourth-quarter results next week, with analysts expecting revenue to increase 23 per cent year-over-year to roughly $US10.2 billion ($11.1bn), capping a year that began with Intel's revenue plummeting 26 per cent in the first quarter amid the economic recession.

The new processors are the first to include basic graphics capabilities, which the company said will support high-definition video playback and more casual 3D games.

Typically, computers are sold with basic graphics capabilities designed onto other computer parts, or separate more powerful cards.

Intel also said it is producing chips targeted at automated teller machines as well as medical and communications and other equipment, as the company continues its bid to extend the reach of its chips into new markets.
