New ios5 features

At first glance iOS 5 doesn't look new, but there are small signs: rounded sliders in menus, an optional split keyboard and tabbed browsing in Safari for iPad users. Twitter is now integrated, so you can share things from within the stock Apple apps. And it feels slicker and more responsive on devices new and old.

SIRI:

Siri is a new voice recognition feature which is built into iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. Siri’s features, which offer users the ability to almost have a conversation with your device, will be exclusive to Apple’s iPhone 4S, with all current hardware left out in the cold.When Siri isn't taking the metal mickey, it's setting reminders, connecting you to your chums, and launching apps and searches.

ICLOUD:

Store heaps of photo,and a smattering of other files on Apple's servers. You now have more storage space freed up, and access,to your files via Wi-Fi or 3G.Remember when losing a phone meant losing everything?No more: iCloud automatically backs up photos, videos,music, contacts, messages , and syncs them across your iOS devices and computers.

NOTIFICATIONS:

No more pop-ups! The new notifications tab keeps you up to date on emails, tweets, calendar alerts, etc.Previously, alerts would sledgehammer their way to the front of the screen, and they'd require your input to leave again. Now, they flash up discreetly in a bar at the top of the screen; if they're not urgent, ignore them and they'll vanish in a few seconds.The pull-down screen offers salient info on your agenda and communications,and you get to choose how your favourite apps can disturb you.

To see them all, swipe down from the top edge to reveal the Notification Centre. As well as messages, calls and mails, you can set apps to appear too - you get Weather and Stocks by default, but you can add Facebook or even Angry Birds if you want.

WIRELESS SYNCING: 

you can spend less time sitting in front of it Contacts, music and photos all sync automatically over Wi-Fi, and even firmware updates beam down over the air.Note that the iPhone/ iPad has to be plugged into the mains for Wi-Fi syncing to automatically occur; you can force it while running on battery from the Settings menu.

IMESSAGE:

Free texts for everyone, forever. Nothing to learn,nothing to sign up for and no special a pp to use.Perhaps responding to the several popular free messaging apps atop the App Store, iOS 5 users can now talk to each other for free with no additional software required. Type the recipient's name into the Messages app, and the OS will check it against Apple's servers. If it's found, the Send button turns blue and your message is sent over your data connection. If it isn't found, the button stays green and it's sent as a normal charged text.

Itwin usb

iTwin doesn't rely on a remote server farm to store your files and a password-protected web interface or software package to access them.

It consists of a pair of identical USB dongles; plug each one into a different internet-connected computer and install the included drivers. Each computer then has a pair of virtual disks accessible from within Windows Explorer: Local Files and Remote Files. Any files copied to the Local Files disk on one computer can be accessed from the other computer through its Remote Files disk, and vice versa. This connection works as long as each computer has its iTwin dongle connected.

Although iTwin requires that both computers are connected to the internet, files are encrypted and transferred directly between the two. Files are stored on iTwin's relay servers only temporarily in case of adverse network conditions. Since iTwin relies on your computers to store files, there's no storage limit. The only limit to the number of files you can share is the size of the hard disk on each PC.

If an iTwin dongle is lost, disconnect the other dongle to prevent unauthorised access to your files. If you want to guard against unauthorised data access, you can set a password on the iTwin; this means files can be accessed only if you have both the dongle and password. The password can also be used to disable a dongle remotely. iTwin won't suit everyone. It doesn't work with Macs, Linux or any smartphone/tablet operating systems. It also won't work if you want to share files between more than two computers at once. Still, if you're concerned about privacy and you don't want another set of passwords to remember, iTwin is a good alternative to more conventional online storage and remote access services.

Kik Messenger

Today you can download cool messaging app Kik from Nokia Store (Ovi) for free. Kik Messenger is available not only for Nokia Symbian N8, 701, 700, Nokia 603, 500 but for Windows Phone handsets too. This means you cat get it for your new shiny Nokia Lumia 800. Kik is the same cool messenger such as WhatsApp, which already has been available for Symbian Anna and WinPhone 7. With Kik's super easy to use UI you can fast text your friends for free. It has real-time notifications about message status and peer typing. Kik IM also allows you to send media files like photos to your friends.

Android Player for Windows

You can download the application from bluestackfi. While free to download and use, there are some drawbacks such as a limited number of apps that can be installed. A paid version, BlueStacks App Player Pro, which allows unlimited app installs, as well as the ability to run premium applications like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope is also in the works. The main selling point of the BlueStacks Android Player is that it allows for an almost seamless bridge between the two computing platforms without any complicated requirements like trying to run Android OS on a PC or setting up multiple operating systems in a dual-boot configuration. All it takes is to download the software, and install like any other Windows application.

PC Tools Antivirus Free 2012

PC Tools Antivirus Free 2012 provides a decent level of system protection, including real-time, on-demand and scheduled scanning.it's fast, reasonably thorough and can be set to sweep your system on start-up.

There are three scanning methods: Full, Custom and Intelli-Scan, which checks for active malware. Adjust the scanning speed using the slider bar, and choose between Performance, Balanced or Protection mode.

There are various other configuration options. You can help to improve PC Tools' protection by agreeing to let suspicious files be forwarded to the Malware Research Centre, and the Global Action List lets you set up rules to automatically block or allow particular files, cookies and websites.

The Report Card button at the bottom of the screen provides details of recent activity, including the number of database updates and scans performed in the last seven days, or since installation. It also shows the total number of items scanned and protected, along with information about infections and suspicious items.

When installing the software, be sure to select the Custom option so you can choose between a large or small database (large provides better protection but slower download and scan times), and disable the bundled toolbar.

LG gm750 reset

The GM750 is LG’s entry level smartphone, running on WinMo 6.5 with the addition of LG’s S-class user interface. Navigating the phone’s features via the 3" LCD touch-screen is simple enough when you employ the stylus (irritatingly hanging on the device), but not when you use your finger, as the screen could have been more responsive.

What is easy though is taking decent pics thanks to the GM750’s five megapixel camera. Setting up an email account is also simple and Office Mobile allows you to create your own Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. HSDPA means browsing is quick and connecting to a Wi-Fi network is simple using the phone’s Wi-Fi manager. There is also a GPS and a microSD slot with a 2 GB card included with the phone.

Samsung Galaxy Fit_samsng glaxy fit

The Samsung Galaxy Fit looks sleek and modern. It has a cheap feel, but it's actually sturdier than its looks. There are two colors available chromed silver and while. The buttons, except for the middle one, are touch sensitive. All the other standard ports are present as well: the mini-USB, power button, volume rocker, 3.5mm earphone port and the microSD card slot.

The Samsung Galaxy Fit, it packs a 3.31-inch 240x320 capacitive touchscreen.  The brightness level is respectable which makes it fairly visible even under the sun.

The Samsung Galaxy Fit packs a 600Mhz processor and is capable of Bluetooth, WiFi, HSDPA 3G and GPRS. It packs a scanty 160MB internal storage but is expandable to up to 32GB.

The phone is loaded with Android 2.2 Froyo, it runs pretty smoothly. Browsing through menus and opening apps are fairly snappy and delays are hardly noticeable.  It uses Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz Ul, which isn't as flashy as HTC's sense Ul but it very appealing in its own right.

The smartphone carries a 5-megapixel camera that is capable of geo-tagging and 15fps video recording. I'm very much impressed with the quality of the shots it took. the smartphone doesn't have flash so it would be best to take pictures in places with good lighting.The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Fit is on-par with the industry standard.the Samsung Galaxy Fit provides a good overall user experience.

TOP 10 GAME_top ten games

LA N0IRE (PS3/XB0X)

Rockstar Games takes a more subtle sidestep into crime-solving over common-or-garden gunfire. If the "LA Confidentiel re-imagined as Police Quest" vibe doesn't grab you, the most lifelike MotionScan faces you've ever interrogated will.


CHILD OF EDEN (PS3/XBOX)

An indescribable hybrid of intergalactic shooter, rhythm-action game and motion-sensing marvel, this is the latest experience from Rez creator Tetsuya Mizugnchi. His white-gloved demo at E3 made him look like a drunk snooker ref-bonus.

DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION (PS3/XBDX/PC/ONLIVE)

One of the best games ever gets a prequel. its trademark mix of biomechanical body enhancements, stealth, conspiracy theories and stylishly dapping black trenchcoats are all intact.



BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY (PS3/XBOX/PC)

Rocksteady didn't need much for this sequel to its unexpectedly satisfying Arkham Asylum. A new set ting - a city slum-cum-prison a la Escape From New York — new villains (Catwoman, Mi- Freeze) and a few new Bat-toys, it's delivered. We're there,



 LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD

A prequel to N64 classic Ocarina ofTirne, this all-new Link outing has the usual mix of swords, potions and evil-force vanquishing. That Nintendo manages to rearrange such hackneyed elements into something fresh every time is a miracle,



GEARS OF WAR 3 (XBOX )

Scries finale brings four-player co-op, one-shot weapons, kc-T doing his "acting" and a lot of plot loose ends to tic up. Beast multiplaycr mode turns Horde on its head and lets you loose on the humans with your own Locust army.



UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION (PS 3)

"Indiana Jones wears Gap" free-runner-cum-super-soldier Nathan Drake heads to the desert for more lost cities and improved AL Uncharted is arguably the only PS3 exclusive franchise that Xbox owners would kill for, and it's now in stereoscopic 3D.

SUPER MARIO 3DS (3DS)

Nintendo finally aired plans for its iconic plumber's 3D debut this month - seeing it instantly leapfrog Metal Gear Solid as our most coveted 3ds title. Details are scant, but the .Super Mario Galaxy team is behind it, so we're setting brains to "amazed".



MAX PAYNE 3 (PS3/XB0X)

Now in die private security business rather than being a cop but still being shafted by persons unknown, Rockstar Games' heavily-armed, habitually-miffed, bullet-time gunman Payne is back. Expect "mature content" in slow-mo.

Ice Cream Sandwich_Galaxy s

Google released the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich, and a mere four days later the new OS has made its way onto Samsung's Galaxy S II.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus brings a ton of new and very welcome features with Ice Cream Sandwich. The design is sharp, the screen is gorgeous, and the internal performance is fantastic.

While ICS is looking good on the GSII's gorgeous AMOLED display, the port is still an alpha -- the Bluetooth, WiFi and other radios aren't functioning just yet, but work is ongoing, and future releases are coming soon.

Eclipse Dect Phone

Wireless home phone Eclipse DECT consists of a base and handset, connected together in a continuous ellipsoidal shape. No visible signs of the display or keyboard, Eclipse DECT corresponds to the minimalist school of philosophy in the design. High quality dual speakerphone, clear display make the originality of the project.

ANDROID 4.0_android ice cream

Video calling upgrades



ICS will have not jusl face detection but voice detection In video calls. If there's more than one of you on your side of the video chat, the OS is able to automatically zoom in on the person talking. It can also apply hilarious' effects to faces and overlay avatars. Do people actually do that stuff?



Glasses-free 3D talents



Rather than shoehorning expensive specialist screens into Android hardware, Google has built support for head-coupled perspective (HCP) 3D into ICS. HCP uses your device's front-facing camera to track your head's movements, and constantly adjusts the image to create a 3D effect. Check out HCP 3D at tinyurl.com/amazingi3D, or download the clever (and free) iOS app,I3D.

 

O-click sharing



Tnisis the big one. Using NFC, this will allow sharing of contacts, links and media just by touching devices. If you're watching a YouTubc video on your phone, tap it on your tablet and the vid will pick up where you left off. If you want to game with a fellow Android user, touch devices and they'll download it and join you in moments. You can get a taste now with Bump (free, IOS, Android), which does much of what O-click will do: bump' two devices running the app, and contacts, photos, music and apps are shared via the 'net (rather than direct, as O-click sharing will).

Anna Update

Anna? who? in the tech world, "she" is Symbian Anna, one of Nokia's latest software updates that further refines the Symbian A3 platform.  Anna available for download on high-end Symbian devices such as the Nokia N8, NOKIA C7, Nokia C6-01, and Nokia E7. we take a quick look at what else the update has to offer on our N8 handset.

Anna Look

Anna comes with a set of redesigned icons that bring a fresh look to the Symbian interface.

Browser Tweaks

To further streamline the Internet experience on Symbian Anna phones, there have been changes made to the built-in browser (v7.3). Users can now easily make quick changes from a comprehensive shortcut menu. Note the back button at the bottom - this allows for easier browsing.

qwerty  keyboard N8

Part of Anna's improvements is the inclusion of a virtual QWERTY keyboard, both in portrait and landscape mode. Nonetheless, users still have the option to fall back onto the old school alphanumeric keyboard if they need to.

3D Video Mode and Check-ins on Ovi Maps

Anna also features refinements made to an enhanced Ovi Maps(v3.06) . These include better search functionality, new public transport routes and a 3D view mode. From here, you can also check-in to favorite geo-social network sites like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter.

Anna update for Nokia C7, C6-01, E7 and N8

NOKIA N8 - If you are looking for a camera phone, the Nokia N8's 12-megapixel sensor and Xenon flash will surely please.

Nokia C7 - The NOKIA C7 is what we consider a good phone for multimedia purposes as it features a decent 8-megapixel sensor, an adequate 3.5-inch screen AMOLED screen and an internal 8GB memory. Also, it is the only one in the gang to come with built-in NFC capabilities.

Nokia C6-01 - The C6-01 will appeal to those who prefer a balance between size and performance considering that it comes with a small 3.2-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel sensor and a compact build.

Nokia E7 - Looking for a business phone? The Nokia E7's full QWERTY keyboard will be an important factor to consider.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active

SONY ERICSSON XPERIA Active is among a niche category of phones built for active individuals. The Xperia Active is not only water and dust resistant, it also has a unique wet finger tracking technology that allows you to operate the phone even when your fingers are wet. Sony Ericsson dedicates the top right corner of the home screen on the xperia Active for faster and easier access to fitness apps.

Preinstalled on the device is iMapMyFitness, an app that uses built-in assisted-GPS to keep track of your training activities and performance.

The Xperia active integrates ANT+, a wireless technology that enables the handset to communicate with ANT+ compatible accessories such as heart rate monitors and power meters.

Motorola Razr Review

The Motorola Droid Razr has an attractive, slim, and lightweight design that is also water repellent and scratch resistant. It has a fantastic 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor,paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of flash storage. A microSD card slot is present, as is a Verizon SIM for the LTE; you also get EV-DO Rev.A for areas without 4G , There’s the usual WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and various sensors, along with a rear 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash, capable of 1080p HD video recording,plenty of multimedia features, corporate and .....

government grade security, Webtop functionality,

This new dual-core Android promises to be the world’s thinnest smartphone with power and performance to match.

Nokia X7 _ if nokia X7 > X6,X5,X3

 The X7 is Nokia's first full touch smartphone.The X7 runs a new version of Symbian, called Anna brings much-awaited changes. New better-looking circular icons, faster web browsing (with Flash) and a portrait QWERTY keyboard.the X7 looks different with its angular design. Grills on the corners add to the design element (the bottom grills actually hide the speakers). The non-removable back cover has resulted in the need for SIM and memory card slots on the side.The volume control and camera key are on the right panel with a 4-inch capacitive display dominating the front. Start the phone and you are prompted for the Nokia account details logs into all the Nokia services. Similar to Symbian 3, the homescreen here is divided into three customisable windows.An icon at the right bottom gave access to a plenty of features like bookmarks, windows, history, feeds, send link, settings, etc. It comes with two HD games, Asphalt 5 and Galaxy on Fire. The gaming experience was good and more games can be downloaded from Ovi Store.don't forget Ovi was one of the first platforms to get Angry Birds (after iOS, natch).

Nokia's cameras have been hard to beat for a long time,the phone has an 8 MP camera but with a fixed focus. It also has a dual LED flash and features such as face detection and 720p videos,It supports expandable memory up to 32 GB and an 8GB card comes with phone.Unfortunately, and unlike the N8, there's no HDMI-out for watching them back on your TV.The screen is AMOLED, meaning it should be bright enough for the odd movie or game, but with a resolution of 640x360 it's not going to challenge the iphone's 960x640 Retina Display.

Lg Rumor_rmor LG

the LG Rumor Touch. This new iteration features little sprinkles of joy such as a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen, QWERTY landscape keyboard, GPS, 2 megapixel camera, and EV-DO Rev. 0,text-messaging-friendly interface, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack, e-mail, and easy access to social network sites. Call quality is great as well.

Palette Smartphone

Concept of Smartphone Palette from designer Kunihiko Nakata which uses top and bottom “sub-displays” for quick and efficient multitasking. Hiding the initial problems at the bottom of the screen means more opportunities to review the information on the main display,and hiding network tasks at the top allows the user to send information simultaneously through multiple selected services like Twitter, Facebook, email, or text message.

Nokia Lumia 800_lmia800

The Nokia Lumia 710 and Nokia Lumia 800 took center stage at Nokia World 2011.

The 800 packs a pretty decent 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. I like that the headphones port is positioned at the very top left; it provides a better in-pocket fit for the headphones cable than a central top port placement does. Media playback is pretty solid thanks to an FM radio; the Zune software and Nokia Music, although you’re limited to 16GB of on-board storage, with the lack of a microSD slot not impressing us much. The Lumia 800 packs a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen at 480×800. It looks pretty good, it has to be said, largely thanks to the bright tones of the WP7 platform. It’s not as crisp and clear as the likes of the iPhone’s Retina display.
