Well Damn.

R.I.P. my computer…
Its been six long years and we’ve been through a lot.
Thousands and thousands of photos of cars, hours and hours of web design, well over 10,000 YouTube videos, and now its all gone.
I’m pretty sure its my hard drive, my computer turns on but that familiar little beep is not there and no movement from my hard drive then it turns off right away.
I just hope when I do get a new computer all my shit on my hard drive can be saved somehow.
And as for now, its my trusty HTC magic and my ipod touch.

Droid clobbers other Android phones in Xmas app downloads

Droid-v-Others-Downloads1On Christmas Day, the number of Android app downloads from the new Droid phones roughly equaled the number of downloads from all leading Android phones combined, according to the latest report from app market analysts Flurry.

T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G and G1, and the HTC Hero sold by Sprint, totaled roughly as many apps as those downloaded the Verizon/Motorola Droid phones on December 25.

Is this the new landscape, or was it just a one-day fluke? Flurry’s head of marketing, Peter Farago, emailed in response: “In our estimation, Droid numbers will continue to drive a larger share of downloads for the foreseable future until another Android handset can displace its position as the fastest-selling Android phone. Also, we have to remember that this is the most marketed Android phone to date, and on Verizon, which has 70 million subscribers.”

Still, Apple’s App Store continues to dominate the app market. iPhone and iPod Touch users downloads thirteen times as many apps in December as all Android phone users combined, Flurry says. And Apple’s December download volume will be 51 percent higher than November’s, if Flurry’s calculations are correct. By contrast, Android Market downloads only increased 22 percent from November to December.

So while the Droid is the hotter phone right now in terms of buzz, the numbers point to Apple’s continuing dominance of the app world going into 2010.

Zip tie love.

So I had a little run in with a snow bank the other weekend, and normally that would not be a bad thing but this snow bank decided it wanted to hide a curb under it.

Just the front bumper of my 25rs hit breaking the bumper skin on the lower half. So like a true drifter I bought 100 multi coloured zip ties and put it back together.

Google's Nexus One Caught on Video (A Few Times)

Can’t get enough of the new Google branded Nexus One? Here is some information that was obtained by the guys over at TheseAreTheDroids.

• Proximity Sensor/Light Sensor: Capella CM3602 per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Accelerometer: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Magnetic Compass:  AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor/AK8973 Orientation sensor per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
• Wifi Radio / Bluetooth / FM: BCM4329 in lib/modules
• In libaudio.so I found “Routing audio to Speakerphone with back mic” reference.
• In libaudio.so I found “Stereo FM speaker” also referenced.
• Audience A1026 Noise Canceling Chip – No link but here is the A1024 found in libaudio.so
• Qualcomm QSD8K Specific hardware libs in lib/hw (QSD8250 Probably)
• Adreno 200 Graphics Core with OpenGLES 2.0 – Part of Snapdragon?
• Camera Info Vague, found some references to auto focus, flash, white balance and anti-banding in libcamera.so

But the disappointing part, there was NO Snapdragon Specific Libraries found. Hopefully, they are wrong and this phone will be sporting the mighty Qualquamm Snapdragon processor we’ve all been dreaming about in our sleep.

Google's Nexus Android Version Taking a Cue From Palm's webOS?

All the news about Google Nexus the last couple of days (including us today) have caused quite a stir. Our own post of the forthcoming Nexus coming to T-Mobile in January and this WSJ article which states Google may release the device without a carrier partner, said the WSJ, are “people familiar with the matter”, have taken over the interwebs news feeds.

All the speculations and rumors may be very true, but an interesting tidbit of information was sitting right there in front of our eyes courtesy of some photos posted on Engadget of the Nexus One. The photo 11 of 11 seemed vaguely familiar to us in a strange way. The picture shows the Android OS with some sort of  “card view”, which is eerily similar to Palm’s webOS.

I applaud the additional feature, if that’s what this really is; a “card view” like ability with live applications running in the background. While this was a breakthrough feature from Palm’s webOS to bring life-like, desktop like computing to a handset, it is reasonable to question if this is a legal infringement on the part of Google’s next Android release to “simulate” the card view experience currently enjoyed by many Palm Pre and Pixi owners.

It’s not like there aren’t any patent infringement lawsuits happening between other manufactures, right?

The Google Phone, Unlocked (Confirmed And More Details)

Last night, we started seeing some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an “all hands” meeting. Now Google is confirming that it is indeed “dogfood” testing a new Android device with employees around the world.

But this isn’t just another Android phone. Very trustworthy sources who have seen the phone say that it is the Google Phone we first wrote about last month (despite the uninformed saying we were dreaming). It will be branded Google and sold by Google as an unlocked phone, which could change everything. As we wrote in our original post:

Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba).

There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.

The phone itself is being built by HTC, with a lot of input from Google. It seems to be a tailored version of the HTC Passion or the related HD2 [...]

Here are the details we know so far about the phone: It will be called the Google Phone (update the official name is “Nexus One”) and will launch in early January, 2010. It won’t be sold by any one carrier, but instead will be an unlocked GSM phone. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and possibly AT&T, whose exclusivity deal with the iPhone is about to run out. It will be running Android 2.1

The phone is “really, really fast,” says someone who has seen one in action. It runs on a Snapdragon chip, has a super high-resolution OLED touchscreen, is thinner than the iPhone, has no keyboard, and two mics. The mic on the back of the phone helps eliminate background noise, and it also has a “weirdly” large camera for a phone. And if you don’t like the touchscreen keyboard, a voice-to-text feature is supposed to let you dictate emails and notes by speaking directly into the phone.

Google Maps for Windows Mobile 3.3.1 supports HTC HD2’s digital compass

Google Maps for Windows Mobile was recently updated to 3.3.1 which solved a Layers issue that caused the phone to crash. Besides solving the Layers issue, it turns out that it also brought support for HTC HD2’s digital compass. Yes, that’s right now you can use the digital compass on your Google Maps app for Windows Mobile.

The location dot changes into a blue arrow when you are in the My location mode. If you don’t see that happening, you may try walking and turning around a bit to initiate the digital compass.

The digital compass works only in My Location mode. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in combination with GPS, and you need to have GPS turned off in order for the compass functionality to work properly. With GPS turned on, the arrow always point to north. Still great news.

Which is better, the HTC Touch Pro2, Or the Droid?

Question:
I have been looking for a new phone, and I went to a Verizon store, but it did not have a lot of specs for either of them. They both look about the same to me, which one do you think I should get? I know the Droid has a better camera, and that awesome barcode thing, but besides that, nothing much.
Answer:
I had one for almost 2 months. The TP2 has the best key pad available on a cell but this makes it bulky. The screen is plastic not glass like the DROID which in turn can get scratch easily. Its has all the applications you may need pre-installed like office sweet. I love the way it did MMS's and how quick you can type on it. Unfortunately I had to return it cause the housing was getting loose and took more than a month to get a replacement and when I did get the replacement the phone would not activate and was very lagy. That when Verizon just offer me the DROID which I love. Its quick and can be customizable to your liking. The app store is good but should be great soon. If you like a phone ready to go from the gecko then go with the TP2 its a great device but make sure you get a screen protector. If you have any more questions just contact me.

Avec la notion de vertu intellectuelle, il ne s’agit pas de confondre la morale et la connaissance, mais d’avancer que la connaissance est une disposition naturelle qui demande à être cultivée.

Aristote est le père d’une idée surprenante : il existe des vertus intellectuelles ; bien plus, la science elle-même est une de ces vertus. Ce concept hybride, développé dans le livre VI de l’ « Éthique à Nicomaque », n’introduit-il pas une confusion illégitime entre morale et connaissance ? N’induit-il pas l’idée, fort discutable, que les hommes intelligents sont nécessairement bons, et réciproquement ? Le développement relativement récent d’une épistémologie des vertus qui revendique une ascendance aristotélicienne soulève la question suivante : les vertus ont-elles une place dans le domaine de la connaissance, et plus particulièrement dans les sciences ? Loin d’imposer le moralisme en science ou l’intellectualisme en éthique, Aristote élabore la notion de vertu intellectuelle pour distinguer les capacités cognitives des qualités éthiques. Il faut en effet dissiper un malentendu : pour Aristote, les vertus ne sont pas nécessairement des qualités morales. Est vertu toute disposition acquise qui actualise de façon excellente une capacité naturelle d’un être. Par exemple, la capacité à courir longtemps est, pour l’homme, une vertu, une vertu physique. Son opposé, le vice, est une disposition acquise par laquelle une capacité naturelle est bridée ou actualisée de façon défectueuse.

Aristote regroupe vertus et vices en deux faisceaux. D’une part, les hommes ont un caractère (ethos) : ils contractent des habitudes dans leurs façons de désirer et d’agir. Ces dispositions sont des vertus – ou des vices – éthiques. D’autre part, ils ont un esprit (dianoia) et, comme l’office de cet esprit est de saisir la vérité, toutes les compétences acquises permettant d’atteindre la vérité sont des vertus intellectuelles, ou dianoétiques. Ces deux types de vertus n’actualisent pas les mêmes capacités et n’ont pas la même nature. Être vertueux d’un point vue éthique, c’est en effet être capable de trouver le juste milieu entre deux vices. Par exemple, être courageux, c’est choisir les actions qui ne sont ni lâches ni téméraires. Les vertus intellectuelles n’ont, elles, qu’un seul contraire : la propension à adopter des croyances fausses. De plus, les vertus éthiques s’acquièrent par l’imitation et par l’habitude, alors que les vertus intellectuelles doivent également faire l’objet d’un apprentissage théorique. On devient courageux en s’habituant au combat ou en imitant un homme héroïque, mais on acquiert la science principalement en assimilant des enseignements. En distinguant ainsi moralité et connaissance, Aristote s’oppose au Socrate de la « République », qui considère comme identiques la vertu et la science. Il peut exister des savants moralement inférieurs et il n’est pas besoin d’être savant pour être vertueux. Aristote ne considère toutefois pas que capacité à connaître le vrai et aptitude à faire le bien sont totalement indépendantes l’une de l’autre. L’intérêt de sa position tient au fait que, selon lui, il existe plusieurs types de dispositions grâce auxquelles nous parvenons à des connaissances vraies. Nous sommes capables de connaître le vrai concernant des êtres nécessaires et des relations invariables, par exemple en astronomie, et aussi concernant des êtres et des relations contingents ou relatifs, notamment en matière politique. A chacune de ces capacités correspondent deux excellences cognitives distinctes : respectivement la sagesse (sophia) et la prudence (phronesis). La sagesse consiste à la fois dans l’aptitude à former des déductions valides – c’est la science : epistèmè – et dans la capacité à saisir les principes vrais d’où partent ces démonstrations – c’est l’intellect. La sagesse – et ses vertus constitutives, science et intellect – est dotée, pour Aristote, d’une valeur supérieure d’un point de vue aussi bien psychique que cosmologique. Au sens où la vie qu’elle implique ne met pas en jeu désirs et actions, elle ne requiert cependant pas la possession de vertus éthiques.

L’autre grand type de vertu intellectuelle, la disposition à connaître avec vérité ce qui est bien pour les hommes, la prudence, est, elle, étroitement liée aux vertus éthiques. Il est en effet impossible d’être juste, courageux ou tempérant sans être guidé par la prudence car celle-ci éclaire les actions et les désirs des hommes : elle leur indique quels sont les moyens efficaces pour atteindre la fin bonne qu’ils poursuivent. Sans prudence, les vertus seraient impuissantes : elles ne seraient plus à proprement parler des vertus car elle n’actualiseraient pas les capacités de l’homme. Réciproquement, sans les vertus éthiques, la prudence serait une simple habileté, sans valeur morale. La lecture du livre VI de l’ « Éthique à Nicomaque » peut causer une certaine déception. N’est-il pas bien loin de nos préoccupations actuelles ? Les qualités intellectuelles que nous considérons habituellement comme indispensables au savant – résistance au dogmatisme, honnêteté intellectuelle… – sont absentes du propos d’Aristote. De plus, moralité et connaissance scientifique semblent étrangères l’une à l’autre – seule la vie de prudence est liée aux vertus éthiques – et Aristote, contrairement à la plupart des théoriciens contemporains, ne considère pas le désir de vérité comme une vertu qui mérite éloge, mais comme une tendance naturelle de l’homme.

On pourrait en conséquence estimer que les épistémologues de la vertu n’ont fait qu’emprunter un terme à Aristote afin de former une théorie nouvelle capable de répondre aux questions contemporaines d’épistémologie. Cette idée est à nuancer : d’une part, le livre VI de l’« Éthique à Nicomaque » n’épuise pas le propos d’Aristote sur les vertus intellectuelles ; d’autre part, la théorie des vertus intellectuelles de l’« Éthique » a une portée considérable concernant l’idée de responsabilité épistémique. En effet, assimiler les différents types de connaissance à des dispositions acquises valide l’idée d’une responsabilité des hommes à l’égard des croyances qu’ils ont : la soif de vérité peut être étanchée uniquement si une éducation appropriée est donnée et reçue. L’individu n’est pas seul responsable de ses erreurs. Peut-être le principal apport de la théorie aristotélicienne est-il l’idée que bonheur humain et connaissance du vrai sont indissociables. Aux yeux d’Aristote, la possession de vertus intellectuelles est la condition du bonheur. »

Remerciements à Olipien pour l’article.

Arrêtez de prendre des douches, saviez vous que la vapeur d'eau contribuait plus à l'effet de serre que le Co2…et je ne vous parle pas du méthane. Un certain corps scientifique a trouvé bon de sonner l'hallali sur le chercheur Serge Galam qui dans un article dans le Monde s'est autorisé à dire que la climatologie était une science jeune et que 90% de certitude équivalait scientifiquement parlant 0% de preuve. Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il ne faut rien faire, loin de là malheureusement .Maintenant , la question fondamentale est de déterminer s'il s'agit de fluctuations rares, qui vont s'estomper, ou à l'inverse des premiers signes d'un changement global et profond qui s'est amorcé et va s'amplifier. En gros l'homme ne serait peut être pas le seul fauteur de trouble dans cette affaire, des causes naturelles y participeraient comme dans un lointain passé. Mon propos n’est pas de dédouaner l’homme de ses responsabilités tant individuelles que collectives, non ce qui m’agace comme à chaque fois, ce sont les raccourcis, les discours de la peur, de la morale culpabilisante. Quand agirons nous en dehors de la contrainte en notre âme et conscience. Les choses doivent changer, mais est ce que la finance a appris de ses erreurs, est ce que les entreprises vont moins polluer ? Comme, à chaque fois on répercute les taxes, les effets sur les plus en difficulté d’entre nous pour leur faire payer les abus des autres.

 C’est peut être cela l’égalité mais moi, cela ne me plait pas.

What phone is better HTC droid eris or Motorola droid?

Question:
i dont want one word answers and i dont want to know which looks better. i want to know which one in your opinion is the better buy and why it is better. i realize that the motorola droid has a faster processor but does that relly make that big of a difference? basically i want to know which phone you would get and why. and maybe any drawbacks of either phone that ou know about.
Answer:
http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-…

http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/moto…

Of course, the Droid is a more expensive phone overall, so it probably does have some extra features and specs. But then again, I think Eris is better. I've owned an Eris before and used a Droid; as long as your fine with the touch-screen keys, the Droid Eris is faster.

Besides, HTC generally has better cellphones than Motorola.

And no, that extra 30 bucks is ONLY if you want the Data plan (unlimited usage of Internet). Source(s): VZW customer.

Is the Verizon HTC Droid Eris a smart phone?

Question:
I want that phone for christmas, but I don't want it to be a smart phone because I don't spend that much internet time on my phone at all. So..... is that a good phone for me?
Answer:
It is a smart phone and the data plan is required. Source(s): former customer

Istnieje powiedzenie iż system Windows Mobile służy tylko i wyłącznie do permanetnego resetowania telefonu. Istnieje powiedzenie iż obsługa patyczkiem/rysikiem tak poważnego narzędzia jakim jest telefon, jest idiotyzmem. Istnieje teoria iż ‘poważny’ człowiek nie będzie ‘głaskał’ swojego telefonu (jak nie przymierzając małolat) po to aby zadzwonić

Oni wszyscy się mylą

Windows Mobile z nakładką TouchFlo3D/Manilla sam staje się swojego rodzaju … nakładką. Rysika używam w zasadzie bardzo rzadko, obsługa paluchem wystarczy do 80% funkcji.  I o ile jestem ‘poważnym człowiekiem’ (czytaj starszym niż przeciętny licealista), to nie mam nic przeciwko publicznym karesom z aparatem telefonicznym.

PS. Powinienem pracować w dziale handlowym, jeden z kolegów z pracy JUŻ posiada Topaza, reszta się ‘zastanawia’

are these the droids i am looking for?

so i’m contemplating getting a smartphone. in particular, i’m looking at the htc droid eris on verizon. here’s why:

1) i’m already on verizon. they’ve been good to me. they may not be the cheapest, but their network is reliable, their customer service is helpful, and most importantly, i can get the eris for $50 if i renew my contract and purchase it online. aside from perhaps u.s. cellular, which doesn’t currently offer a phone i like, no other service provider has impressed me enough to make me switch.

2) the eris runs android. although it only runs 1.5, i support healthy competition, and even more importantly, open source. it also integrates directly with google accounts and supports multi-touch gestures through htc’s sense ui.

3) everybody and their brother has an iphone or a blackberry, which are great phones, but i’ve always had a little bit of a rebellious streak. for the most part i’m a big apple fan. after having held the eris and played a little, it seems pretty solid, like any good phone should. plus, it has removable storage, battery and you can mount it directly as a usb drive.

but of course a decision wouldn’t be a decision without some downsides. the most prominent being price. to support broadband connectivity and serious text messaging, the base plan starts at $99.99 a month. ouch. that’s quite a step up from $39.99. there are undoubtedly many other places i can put my money – like my savings account.

so why not go with the motorola droid? basically, that phone is a little too much for me. i was initially really excited about it. the lack of multi-touch functionality is disappointing (i know it “supports” it). the slide out keyboard was also interesting, but, when compared to the eris, that’s about the only hardware feature i consider an advantage, and the reviews on it aren’t promising. the high res screen is definitely cool, but i’m really not planning on watching movies on my phone.

the last consideration… do i really need a smartphone? i would like easy access to email, better texting capability, google maps and voice integration. but do i really need it? having a bit of distance between myself and the rest of the world is comforting sometimes. such is the dilemma of living in a wired world.

HTC Touch Diamond 2 T5353

After having used my Iphone 3G for nearly half a year, I decided it was time to step up and purchase a new mobile gadget to get my hands wet. This time I had set my mind to getting a Windows Mobile Phone.

Since I live in a pretty small third world country, my choices are pretty slim when it concerns high end electronic equipment. Many of the shops I passed through did not have any smart phones in stock, let alone High End Windows Mobile Phones. Eventually I ran across a shop which had the HTC Touch Pro available for an absurd amount of money (approximately 750USD). So I started thinking about purchasing the phone online and having it fed-exed here, but that would mean I’d have to wait a few more days until I get it.

So I went home and started browsing, looking at all the models available when Andressa called me up and told me they were expecting a new shipment of mobile phones at the shop she works at (including the HTC Touch Diamond 2). So that’s the story of how I got my HTC Touch Diamond 2 T5353 for less than 500 USD.

 

Now let’s talk about the phone itself.

Unpacking the HTC Touch Diamond 2

The package this phone comes in is nothing special, I remember being amazed by the package my first Motorola Razor came in. But this is just an ordinary carton box with a picture of the device on it.

What’s in the box?

• Mobile phone HTC Touch Diamond 2 T5353
  
• Battery
  
• USB Cable
  
• Wall Power Connector
  
• Phone Case
  
• Driver CD
  
• Software CD
  
• Manual
  

The first time

After I put in the battery and juiced it up a bit, I turned on the phone. I was surprised to see that it actually booted pretty quickly, a lot faster than my (rest his soul) TYTN. The Windows 6.1 splash screen showed and it immediately started the getting started wizard, which ran me through a series of questions to set up my phone. The quality of the display is very good, and the touch screen is fairly responsive (nothing like my I phone though).

Installing on the PC

After having connected the phone to my Windows 7 PC, the operating system immediately searches for and installs the correct drivers and applications to manage my new smart phone. After about 5 minutes, the installation was complete; Windows had installed the Windows Mobile Device Centre and had placed an Icon for my phone within my computer. The software interface is fairly easy and its compatibility with Microsoft Office products is a huge + on my list.

Upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5

I had read about a Windows Mobile 6.5 update which had been made available for the HTC Touch Diamond 2 and the HTC Touch Pro a little while ago, so I decided to give it a shot. I went to the HTC website, where I needed to fill in my serial number, but sad to say I got a short response telling me that the update was not available for my phone.

I then sent a mail to HTC support requesting them to help me obtain the correct update for my phone. Within 24 hours someone had responded to my request, asking for some additional information concerning me and my newest acquisition. After the weekend had passed, I had my new HTC phone running on Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC provides great support).

What do I think of it?

• The phone has a high quality look and feel
• The software is less user-friendly than what I have on my I phone
• Applications run very slow
• Battery life is very short
• Great quality camera, missing a flash unit though
• Why can’t they put in a universal USB connection?
• Upgrading to Windows 6.5 was easy thanks to HTC Support

This is clearly a phone for someone who likes gadgets, but doesn’t want to be seen as a nerd. The stylish look and great functionality of the phone make it a regular must-have gadget!

I would like to buy a new mobile phone but I have no idea what to buy.?

Question:

Answer:

Does ATT require you to pay for their data plan to get any smart phone?

Question:
I am thinking about getting either the iPhone or HTC Touch Pro 2 (ATT version of that, I think its called a different name...) and I want to make sure that I wont have to pay for a data plan to get those phones. If I get those phones through ATT would I have to also pay for their data plan or can I get any phone I want without being forced into paying for a plan that goes with it?
Answer:
I don't know about the HTC.. But if you want an iPhone a data plan is required.

HTC S710 (smartphone) randomly shuts off and doesn't delete text messages?

Question:
I have had this phone since May 2008. This phone has never had the option to empty old msgs it just keeps them, so basically I have ALL the msgs from when I first got the phone. And if I try to delete them and the phone randomly turns off or freezes and making me turn off the phone, they come back, but also deletes all my new sent and received msgs until October 5th 2009. By going into System Info it says I have 5 MB left of space. Can someone please tell me how to fix my phone???
Answer:
Right get it formatted, In the settings you should see something like, Reset phone memory format, Memory clear. Anything like that.... And just select it... It will ask you if your sure, if you are select yes! And it will delete everything off your phone so its back the way when you first opened it! But back up anything you want to keep.

HTC who? Android handset maker steps into spotlight

HTC, the largest handset manufacturer no one has heard of, has come out of the shadows and is starting a brand awareness campaign in the U.S.  A Taiwanese company, HTC has manufactured the T-Mobile Dash and T-Mobile Wing, and nearly all the Android handset in the U.S, just sat back and let the carrier brand the handsets.

With their new marketing campaign centered around ‘You’, HTC will bring the company into the mainstream of handset manufacturers for U.S. consumers and will bring even more attention to Android.  Some of the best cutting-edge phones in the world are their products and the public should know that.  Enter the “Quietly Brilliant” campaign.

HTC is heavily invested in Android and will continue to develop a majority of their handsets using the Android Platform.  The handset featured in the 2 television commercials is the ‘Hero’ from Sprint and you can view them both below:

HTC knocks some Sense into your Magic

We learned about this back in August when the Hero was released and it’s just been a matter of playing the waiting game. Now at least it’s official in Taiwan, at least, for the Chunghwa HTC Magic. It’ll be interesting to see how it runs on the Magic with the Hero really struggling to fully utilize the UI — at least until recently with the last update, but that is debatable. Look for future Android, as well as Windows Mobile devices to come with Sense UI.

Windows Mobile 6.5: Langsamer Start

Zwei Wochen Windows Mobile 6.5, und nach den ersten Tagen, in denen sich die News überschlugen und dem geplagten Rezensenten kaum Atem liessen, ist momentan die Luft ein wenig raus. Woran liegt das?

Microsoft hat eine Menge Aufwand getrieben, um der Welt klarzumachen, dass es eine neue Version von Windows Mobile gibt, neue Services wie My Phone und den Windows Marketplace for Mobile eingeführt, Hersteller wie HTC und Toshiba haben Updates für ältere Geräte angekündigt, mit dem HTC Touch2 und dem Samsung Omnia II sind neue Geräte auf den Markt gekommen, all das innerhalb der ersten Woche.

Und dann, so schien es,  geschah nichts mehr.  HTC hat Updates für den HTC Snap (also das am wenigsten relevante der drei angekündigten Geräte herausgebracht), Touch Diamond 2 und Touch Pro2 warten immer noch auf ihre Updates. Hier scheint es, dass HTC diesmal die Carrier bevorzugt: sowohl vodafone als auch T-Mobile haben bereits für deren Version des Touch Pro2, vodafone auch schon für deren Version des Diamond2 Updates bereitgestellt (die ja nun auch von HTC selbst kommen). Der HTC-Direktkunde (der meist deutlich mehr für sein Gerät bezahlt hat, weil er keine Netzbetreiber-Subvention kassiert hat) schaut momentan noch dumm aus der Wäsche.

Neue Geräte (wie der HTC Touch HD2) sind am Horizont, aber eben auch noch nicht in Sichtweite, und so bleibt nichts weiter als Warten auf die Dinge, die da in den kommenden Wochen noch kommen mögen. Und ich hasse warten…

HTC ahora es “Quietly Brilliant”

HTC significa “High Tech Computer Corporation”. Sin embargo, ya era hora de un cambio de imagen (o de lema, al menos), pues la compañía se fue convirtiendo de a poco en uno de los íconos en lo que se refiere a móviles con Android y Windows Mobile, sabiendo ganarse su lugar entre las marcas más tradicionales.

Entonces, abandonando su viejo “HTC Innovation” (Innovación), la empresa optó ahora por el lema “HTC quietly brilliant” (silenciosamente brillante), y me parece que les calza a la perfección. HTC es una de las marcas que más crecimiento está teniendo, y que silenciosamente avanza con Android como caballito de batalla para convertirse, si sigue así, en una de las más importantes.

El nuevo logo ya está en su web norteamericana, aunque el cambio aún no se hizo en el resto de sus sitios, pues aún tienen que terminar las legalidades de registro.

The New Motorola Barrage Cell Phone: An in Depth Product Review

mlb jerseys cheap

wholesale nba jerseys

Overview

The Motorola Barrage is an unglamorous but very sturdy, usable basic cell phone. If you buy the cell phone on Verizon Wireless, you can take advantage of its push-to-talk features and use your Motorola Barrage as a 2-way radio. It's tough, too – apparently you can even drop your Motorola Barrage in a glass of water.

Design

The Motorola Barrage isn't going to win any prizes for beauty. It's a large cell phone, 3.8″x2.10″x9.5″, with a solid-looking hinge. There are rubber patches on the front and back of the Motorola Barrage, and it's comfortable to hold. The cell phone has a satisfying, authoritative closing action.

The cell phone's outer screen is 1.6″ with 65,000 color support. It shows date and time, caller ID, and has signal and battery readouts. Underneath are controls for the Motorola Barrage's music player. The camera lens is above the screen (it doesn't have a shutter, unfortunately). Also on the outside of the Motorola Barrage you'll find the push-to-talk button, volume control and jacks for Micro-USB and 2.5″ headphone connection.

Inside the Motorola Barrage, there's a 2.2″ screen, also with 65,000 color support, and 220×176px resolution. It's not amazing, but it does what you need it to do.

The mechanical keys for navigating around the cell phone are well designed and comfortable to use. There's a joystick, a clear key, two soft keys, a shortcut for the camera and a talk/end key.

Specification

You can use the Motorola Barrage's 3G to set up the cell phone as a modem, although it can be a little sluggish. It also features webmail, Bluetooth and GPS, plus you can sync your Motorola Barrage with your PC, and it has USB mass storage.

The Motorola Barrage includes the usual range of cell phone add ons – calculator, notepad, calendar and so on.

The camera is 2MP with five different resolutions for shooting. There's a digital zoom, but no flash, plus the Motorola Barrage will shoot up to a minute video footage.

Verdict

Although the Motorola Barrage's 3G connection is not particularly impressive, and the cell phone's multimedia isn't what you'd call dazzling, it's a very solid piece of equipment with great push-to-talk call quality.

Does any one reccomend the HTC PURE?

Question:
I saw the htc pure and liked it but don't know if its any good
Answer:
It is unbelievably wonderful!

It sports the new 6.5 OS which is an wonderful finger friendly version of windows mobile. It has a 5 MP camera with auto focus. That beats most devices out there. It has a WVGA screen which is bright, clear and beautiful. Think of it as HD for the handheld. It comes with GPS and an FM radio. The new zoom bar is very handy when browsing the web. Its light and very good looking. Also since it comes fro HTC you know its made well.

I have had the HTC 6600 Blue Angel, 6700 Apache, 6800 Titan, 6900 Touch and Touch Pro but the Pure is even better!

Más casos de teléfonos derretidos: ahora un HTC Dream

Los problemas de calenturas y problemas relacionados con las baterías de los móviles no son exclusivos de Apple, y aquí tenemos una prueba.

En este caso el problema se ha reproducido en un HTC Dream, el primer terminal que la compañía de Taiwan lanzó con el sistema operativo Android.

Aunque fue una muerte sin explosiones ni nada espectacular, sí sufrió un calentamiento excesivo que terminó por dejar la carcasa agujereada.

Por el momento, eso sí, se trata de un caso aislado.

Smartphone "HTC HERO" é eleito Gadget do ano

Um smartphone com tecnologia desenvolvida pelo gigante da internet Google foi escolhido o “Gadget do Ano” em uma cerimônia ocorrida nesta quinta-feira à noite em Londres. O celular Hero, fabricado pela HTC, tem câmera de 5 megapixels, tela de 3.2 polegadas e vem com o sistema Android instalado, permitindo que os usuários acessem facilmente e-mails, internet e textos.

Sim, temos que concordar em duas coisas, a primeira, o Design, que eu particularmente, achei horrível. Esta parte “dobrada”  destoou muito em relação ao resto do aparelho e esses botões físicos em baixo ficaram um tanto quanto amadores.

O outro porém é que o Android nesta versão da HTC, foi completamente polido, e roda incrivelmente suave, tao suave quanto o sistema da apple, este último por exemplo possui recursos muito bacanas que sao barrados no smartphone da Apple. tanto físicos quanto de software, um deles é o bluetooth livre, que ainda amedronta usuários do iPhone. Uma das grandes novidades do Hero é a tecnologia HTC Sense, uma interface customizada que substitui o visual padrão da plataforma Android, o que permite a ele rodar codecs em flash! o que praticamente faz do seu browser igual aos usados nos computadores.

Só que ainda falta uma coisa que ele nao tem, (ok, até tem, mas é horrível.) e ela é a App Store!

HTC: Peep Is Fixed! Yay!

For the past week or so, HTC Hero’s Twitter app – Peep has been feeling kinda under the weather due to the Twitpocalypse II bug. Not only will it fail to update new tweets from Twitter, it even affected my clock on the homescreen. The weather widget on the clock just doesn’t update. It could be showing a sun and saying partly cloudy at 9:00pm at nite and a moon saying clear sky during lunch. Yeah, it was that wonky. But things are back to how it’s supposed to. HTC twitted about 10 hours ago saying that Peep has been fixed! I almost shed a tear of joy while reading that. Thank you HTC and Twitter …. sniff sniff. I hope I’ll never see that darn processcom.htc.htctwitter error message ever again.

HTC HD2 makes official appearance in O2 UK promo

I think we can call it as pretty much official now. Engadget has spotted the HTC HD2 in an O2 UK October promo catalog. We know Windows Mobile 6.5 devices (or Windows Phones, if you may) will be rolling out October 6, and this handset will be probably following in the next week on the 12th. Though, there are murmurs of an October 24 release and none as of yet for a steteside release. We’ll see how this all goes. There’s a little bit less than a week left before the fun begins.

Should I buy Samsung Omnia i900 16G cell phone?

Question:
I prefer HTC and iphone but they are more expensive and I can't afford them. I had the nokia e51, e66 and n96 but I didn't like them.
I read some pretty good reviews on the Samsung Omnia.
Would u recommend it?
Answer:
I have it and I like it. If I were you I'd wait for the Omnia 2 to come out. It looks great.

Palm Pre or Blackberry Tour or HTC Hero for Sprint?

Question:
Im getting sprint service and i want to know which phone out of these is better?
Answer:
It depends on what you like, I have owned the Palm Pre, and returned it for the Hero. The Pre is one of the nicest phones out their, i would have kept it but their aren't alot of apps on their, only 100. Plus it sounds weird, but i actually prefer an on screen keyboard, every time you want to text or go on the web you have to slide the phone open and close it to fit in the hands comfortably, plus the hero has a 3.2 inch screen v. the 3.1 on the pre, and 8,000 apps available and growing. If you need a keyboard go with the Pre everyone says its cramped but my thumbs are huge and after a week i was blazing fast at typing, it just takes getting used to like every other phone. also the Hero has an available micro sd card slot allowing up to 32gb v. the pre's 8gb internal.

Embedded C++ (A better Hello World and OpenGLES)

This one has support for fullscreen mode (Make sure you link to aygshell.lib for this to work)
Also make sure you setup the environment for Standard SDK 500.

The example shows a rotating triangle.
You can toggle fullscreen mode by touching the screen (or using a stylus).

HTC Hero - Celcom Promo

It’s finally announced. Celcom revealed it’s HTC Hero promo today. Priced at RM1,799 on-top of a monthly commitment of RM149 which includes RM50 for calls and RM99 for Data Unlimited. It will come with a 16Gb MicroSD Card and Jabra Bluetooth headset as well. Available from today at all Celcom BlueCube outlets – nationwide. Is it a good deal? Depends. If you’re planning on using Celcom – you’ll be paying RM149 a month anyway. Otherwise, Maxis will cost you RM108 which consists of RM50 for calls and RM58 for 500Mb of data. If you’re a light user like me – Maxis will do just fine. But if you’re heavy on tethering – then yes, it’s a damn good deal. After all, the HTC Hero is still currently going for RM2,399 (Add RM100 for a 16Gb Card) in retail shops.

The Real Cost of Owning a Smartphone. Who Wins?

Smart phones are selling like crazy. It seems almost every week a new smartphone is announced. With the proliferation of the smart phone market in the last two years since the original iPhone launch, and several new phones featuring better processors like the Snapdragon and NVIDIA Tegra, smartphones are becoming more like mobile do-it-all computers than the cell phones of yesterday.

You have the Blackberry, iPhone, HTC G1, Nokia E71x and of course, the Palm Pre. The phones and plans associated with them do vary greatly and it would be beneficial for your to do your research before you make that two year commitment in purchasing a very costly service. For some of you, the need for owning one is easily convinced, for others it may take more time.  For some like me, this may be the only phone you now own and did away with your land line years ago.

A great article was written by PC World examining the costs associated with the cost of ownership for a smartphone. Hit the link to read.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - What is the big deal?

I am really not impressed. THAT would be an understatement. Mike Dano of Fiercewireless said it best when he mentioned, “it’s hard to compete with free”. It’s about time too. Initially I gave WM a chance by putting time to learn the OS. Did you see that? I said,”I HAD TO PUT TIME to learn!” And to top it off, it was such a drag trying to figure out where everything should be. It’s like the geeks from Redmond think that everybody would like to debug their own stuff all the time and slowly also painfully figure out where files taken on the camera are stored.

Of course the WM geeks would say, “You just suck coz you have one less chromosome! WM is Cool!”

Well it’s not. It took me exactly 1 minute to figure everything in the iPhone. It’s so simple really. All pictures taken go into – guess? – that’s right! PHOTOS. Not some FILE –> MENU shit. Even the HTC HERO is easier to use though it took me some time to get used to Sense but after a while, you kind of know where to look for what. I won’t go into Symbians because they’re really just plain boring and after a gazillion years of using Nokia phones, I am kind of sick of it. Sony Ericsson? One bad experience years ago that I remembered. 7 steps just to create an SMS. Yep. 7 tormenting steps. One bad experience did it in for me.

Anyway, back to WM. I think Microsoft should just put the poor dejected soul to sleep. Look at WM 6.5, it’s a bastardization of the OSX, Android and others. Now they also have Marketplace? Blimey! How original! After many years of WM bullshit, it’s about time the people get what they want.

User friendliness. Simple isn’t it? One can only imagine how a company as hi tech and great as Microsoft miss such a simple basic need. Previously, the positioned WM as an executive / business OS that can blend seamlessly with your Windows desktop. Of course people bought all that crap for years. I thought it was really a defensive move by Microsoft simply because they knew WM is clunky and UN-user friendly. So what is the best way to continue to sell and push for this? Strike fear into the minds of consumers and corporate executives of course! Make them fear of losing precious data simply because anything other than WM phones may cause brain damage.

Bah. I tried it and I hate it. Next…

Should I get a Htc Touch pro 2 or Htc Hero?

Question:
I really like both phones but dont know which one to get. Which one would you perfer to buy?
Answer:
It depends on what you use a cell phone for. The HTC Touch Pro 2 is a really nice phone! But it has a bad web browser compared to the hero's. If you use a phone mainly for texting, and calling, get the pro 2. The pro 2 also has this really neat feature with calling. It allows you to conference call with many people at once, it blocks sound of back round noise, and if you lay it on its front side it will immediately go into speaker phone mode. It has a mute button in back for speaker phone mode too. Now the hero. The hero has a nice touch screen key board, to me not even close to as nice as the pro 2's. But it has a large app store, has great internet capabilities, has a nice camera (both touch pro 2 and hero's cameras are equal). Plus it is ran on google android, and has a special HTC feature called HTC Sense. Great for you to be able to customize. So they both are great! It just depends what you use it for. Good luck!

HTC Hero: My Review

I’ve been playing with this phone for the past 2 days and have since rooted 2 units to enable the much desired Android Market. As some of you may know, Android Market is not available in Malaysia due to licensing issues and according to SIS (official distributor of HTC in Malaysia), it will be made available in the near future. So, how does the HTC Hero compares with the Apple iPhone? Continue reading for my take:

Without the Android Market, the HTC Hero will be like the iPhone without it’s App Store. To enable the Android Market, you will have to root (or in iPhone’s term – jailbreak) your device. I followed the instructions on The Unlockr which are fairly easy to follow. After rooting your device, you can then install a custom ROM to gain access to the Android Market. Click here to learn how to do just that.

Once you’re done that 2 steps – you now have yourself a rooted Hero where you will have access to such features like Wireless Tether, Free Games and Applications. If you wish to use your HTC Hero as a modem – you can click here to learn how. To those who are not familiar, this feature will enable internet access on your laptop using your phone’s subscribed Data Plan (Internet connection) when Wifi connection is not available. To do that – you will need to install HTC Sync software which can be found in your SD Card that came with your phone and connect your device to your laptop. At the moment, this feature only works on Windows and not the Mac. Damn you, HTC.

I am sure most of you have seen comparison photos of the HTC Hero and Apple iPhone placed side by side. Just like the photo above, the size difference is not significant. But in actual, the HTC Hero is much smaller and has a better grip on your hand. The screen is as good if not better. Pictures and YouTube videos look sharper most probably due to its smaller size.

Since I have not had the chance to experience the reported lag on the Sense UI, I could not comment on its improvement. But screens swipes are smooth and have not noticed any lag at all as am currently using the latest ROM from UK. I have also noted that the Malaysian sets come with a newer ROM compared to the initial batch of the phone. For people who are worried about a laggy interface, you can rest assured – it has been resolved giving a top notch user experience.

The built-in music player is nothing compared to the iPhone. It’s pretty basic and gets the job done. But the speakers on the phone itself is super loud compared to the iPhone. The Hero will turn your album artwork into a CD jewel case. It has it’s own little “copy” of iPhone’s cover flow – but pales in comparison, visually.

The HTC Hero is all about Social Networking. I gotta give it to HTC for making this an out-of-the-box experience. I already have all the apps I need without paying a single cent. Apps like Twitter, Instant Messaging, Flickr, FaceBook are so well integrated with one another. No longer do I move in and out of each app to read updates from my friends. Its all in one-screen, one swipe. Side note, I paid US$14.99 for BeeJive on my iPhone just to get Instant Messaging working.

Great, seems like its all good? Nope. Not exactly. I hate the Video quality of the camera. It’s jerky and low in image quality. I’ve not experienced the 3GS’s – but from online videos seen so far, I think that’s way smoother and with the capability to edit videos on the spot – Apple win hands down.

Surfing webpages and reading blogs – I came across some problems trying to focus on the part I wish to zoom in to as the Hero constantly re-flows texts on the page. Especially when you visit sites like Engadget, you’ll notice you’ll have difficulty in tapping an image to zoom in to fit the screen. Somehow, it just keep going to the text area instead of zooming in on the image. Hope there will be a fix for this soon in upcoming firmware updates.

If you’re thinking of getting the HTC Hero, here are a few tips I would share with you. Get your Gmail, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter and FaceBook accounts ready. When you switch on the phone for the first time – you will be required to provide those for a better start-up experience. I’ve did my research prior to getting my phone – hence I’ve got all those ready before hand.

If you’re getting a Malaysian set with 2-years warranty from SIS, do remember to take up the upgrade offer to a 16Gb SD Card for an additional RM100. I did a quick market price check and PC shops at LowYat Plaza are selling it at RM175 a pop. Yes, you will still get the packaged 2Gb card that came with the phone after the upgrade. If the shop say otherwise, it’s a con job.

To me, being an iPhone user since July 2007 – the HTC Hero is what the iPhone 3GS should be, but not. At this time and age, Social Networking is key and HTC nailed it. Apple … time to wake up from your slumber.

Imagenio + Router Zyxel + Conexión wifi de móviles: la solución

Ayer, después de indagar por el fantabuloso mundo de los foros del internés durante unas horillas, logré encontrar la forma de conectar mi Meizu M8 por Wifi con el router P660HW-D1 de Telefónica, uno de los routers más mierdosos distribuídos por la compañía, especialmente si tenéis contratado el desastroso y lento Imagenio.

La cuestión es que este router da muchísimos problemas a la hora de conectar por wifi dispositivos móviles (por lo que he leído, cómo mínimo da problemas con iPhone, modelos varios de HTC, Samsung, algunos portátiles de Apple, el propio Meizu M8, etc., por lo que deduzco que es un problema generalizado).

Ojo al hiperrealismo de la sombra del router en la imagen. Desconozco la autoría de la imagen, pero es terrible xD

He podido ver bastantes posibles soluciones al problema, pero la mayoría de éstas requerían liarla bastante en la configuración y realmente no representaban una solución rápida, eficaz y más o menos infalible.

Por suerte, existe una solución bastante rápida y sencilla; se trata de descargar este firmware y actualizar el router con él. Al parecer, se trata de un firmware que la propia Zyxel ha facilitado a aquéllas personas que han reclamado al servicio técnico de la empresa por este mismo problema… no sé si realmente ésta será la procedencia del firmware, pero lo que sí que os puedo decir es que funciona a mí me ha solucionado el problema.

Para aquéllos que tengáis Imagenio, cabe decir que en un principio el firmware no altera en ningún momento el funcionamiento de este servicio, por lo que podéis actualizar el firmware sin miedo a cargaros nada.

El proceso de aplicar la actualización será más o menos rápido dependiendo de cómo tengamos en ese momento configurado el acceso del router. Me explico: por lo que sé, en los tríos de Telefónica siempre se configura el router para que únicamente se pueda acceder desde el portal Alejandra, por lo que si tenéis un trío y nunca habéis tocado nada de la configuración, os tocará deshabilitar el portal Alejandra para poder actualizar el firmware (yo ya lo tenía deshabilitado hace tiempo, siempre he preferido el configurador web de Zyxel). Podéis encontrar toda la información que podáis necesitar al respecto en este tutorial.

Una vez desactivado el portal Alejandra, accedemos al router desde el navegador mediante la dirección http://192.168.1.1/ e introducimos el nombre y password que hayamos configurado previamente en el portal Alejandra.

Llegado a este punto, nos encontraremos con el configurador web de Zyxel. Clicamos en “Firmware” (nada más entrar ya nos aparecerá este enlace). Tras esto, nos aparecerá un formulario con un botón “Examinar”. Buscamos el archivo nuevo.bin que contenía el rar y presionamos “Upload”. Durante los siguientes 2 min. aprox. el router actualizará su firmware, por lo que es especialmente importante no desconectarlo de la electricidad y esperar pacientemente.

Finalmente, ya tenemos nuestro router actualizado. Ahora tan sólo queda probar de nuevo de conectar nuestro dispositivo móvil al router y, con un poco de suerte -así ha sido en mi caso, y por lo que leído en otros foros, a todos aquéllos que lo han probado también – ya podremos disfrutar de conexión Wifi.

What is currently the best T-Mobile Phone?

Question:

ive only had the razr and razr 2. i have texting now which has been affecting my decision. i would probably only want a phone with a qwerty keyboard. my top two now are the my touch and htc touch pro 2. i have kinda looked a lil at the curve 8900. tell me what u think?

Answer:

Well the MyTouch has an internal keyboard and lacks the full out keyboard on the outside. It is a great phone. It takes some practice typing on an only touch screen phone. It takes time getting warmed up to it. That is coming from experience. Maybe you would want to consider the HTC G1 phone instead. I have the G1 and it is a FANTASTIC phone.One of the best phones. The HTC Pro 2 is alright,but it is not android.
