Leak news: Android 2.3 Gingerbread (mobile, cell, phone, news, report, "Abby Technology Limited") Auckland

Android 2.3 Gingerbread is not out yet despite the old rumors of a November launch. But it should be almost done - Google Hong Kong even used it in a video tutorial for Voice Search. The visible changes are quite underwhelming from what can be seen in the video - but the changes under the hood should prove more interesting.  http://tiny.cc/android23

The notification area color has been changed to black and the icons on it are new. The virtual menu key on the bottom of the screen has been placed on a black background and it's now flanked by two shortcuts. The final bit of UI polish in Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the restyled buttons in the settings menu.

The Android Market received some new tabs - inside the app information page, there are three new tabs, one of which allegedly reads "Related" (but we're no experts in Cantonese, so we can't confirm that).

What is so special about iPhone 4 Gaming? (games, iOS, tech, review, report, Auckland, David Lim)

The iPhone 4 is here now and the industry is pretty excited about the new features. One of those features is the new Gyroscope which promises more precise motion sensing for the device. Kotaku contacted a few gaming companies and here's what they think of the new offering.  http://tiny.cc/iphon4game

Sega is excited about the "new range of possibilities" made by the Gyroscope, said their digital brand manager, Ben Harborne. "We look forward to creating titles that take advantage of such precise controls in the near future."

As for X Games Snocross and 2XL Supercross developer 2XL Games, the Gyroscope is exactly what they have been waiting for in the iPhone. "Now that we know the heading, pitch and roll of the phone, we can create several augmented reality apps that can provide guidance and information in very intuitive and user friendly ways," said president Rick Baltman.

For Dave Castelnuvo, the improved motion sensing will also further improve the gameplay of his Pocket God. "We may use it on a limited basis to add a little bonus feature for users with iPhone 4 devices," he said. "I can see this enhancing our earthquake and gravity functionality so you can completely disorient the pygmies when you move the phone around in weird ways."  This post is sponsored by Abby Technology Limited - Blackberry, Android Phone Repair and Apple iPhone Unlock Professional.

What you do not know about iPhone 5 - Stainless Steel Scratch Resistant Body (Abby Technology Limited)

Apple patent application suggests the company is investing time and money in a new scratch-resistant and durable coating technology. The cost effective and durable nitride coatings would not only make your next Apple device scratch resistant but also leave them looking great.

In addition to providing a durable, hard surface that is both scratch and impact resistant, the nitride layer allows for the natural surface color and texture of the underlying stainless steel to remain visible to the user. It is this natural surface color and texture of the stainless steel that adds to the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the consumer electronic product, thereby enhancing the user’s overall experience.

iPhone 5 with a stainless steel body sounds feasible as iPhone 4 with a glass body proved more fragile than iPhone 3GS.  (http://tiny.cc/iPhone5)

Dell Streak Tablet Price and Release Date Confirmed: Specs and Review Coming Your Way! (tech, news, report, Auckland)

The Dell Streak appears to be one of the most fascinating devices that will be released this year. Certainly a lot ofpeople get captivated with the Dell Streak evident by some healthy debates regarding the features of this device as well as its advantages and disadvantages in some podcast and websites. It is also known as the Dell Mini 5 and considered a hybrid device that sits in between a tablet and smartphone due to its features. Let us check out what the Dell Streak has to offer.

The Dell Streak tablet is a perfectly sized and portable entertainment, navigation as well as social networking device. It comes with a 5 inch widescreen display which is especially designed for mobile web surfing and video playback. It also has multi touch display and high quality scratch resistant Gorilla glass that allows you to have a crystal clear display.

The Dell Streak runs with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon (QSD 8250) processor which is known for its speed. It goes well with Google’s Android-based Operating System with multi-touch Dell user experience. With this processor and OS one can surely enjoy multitasking, playing games and video and music streaming without any interruption.

Aside from this the Dell Streak also includes the following features:

• 5.0MP rear facing auto-focus camera
• VGA front-facing camera
• 512 MB ROM
• 512 MB SDRAM
• 2GB non user accessible MicroSD for system and application files only
• Pre-installed with Android 2.1 (but with a possible Froyo update)
• Integrated GPS and e-compass functionality

The Dell Streak also keeps you connected with its Facebook, Twitter and Gmail access. Basically, the Streak is a full 3G phone which has the SMS, IM and e-mail functions. It also allows you to take photos and videos and upload it online right away.

Interestingly it has also the an integrated A-GPS and e-compass functionality which allows you to find directions while driving, it can even give you information on traffic updates and the best part of it is you can also receive calls and play your favorite music while driving.

The Dell Streak is believed to be one of thinnest smartphone/tablet available at 10 mm thin but some say it even feels thinner than it actually is. So this phone looks totally handy, you can even slip it in your pockets without worrying about the bulge.

The Dell Streaks seems to be a gorgeous gadget inside and out but with an introductory price of $500 some people might think twice. We’re hearing a possible price drop (hopefully) since that price tag was mentioned almost 2 months ago.  The Dell Streak will be available by the end of July so better watch out for it.

Apple iOS 4 review: Getting there (iPhone, news, review, Auckland, Abby Technology)

Introduction


iPhone 4 launch day came and went and Number Four has taken over. Today, as the dust settles, we hope to move away from the hype and take a clear-headed look at what’s new in the iOS4. No, this isn’t a full-featured iPhone 4 review, nor is it intended to introduce you to the OS basics.
    
Apple iOS 4

Instead we’ll stick to the new stuff. And Apple promised lots of that: multitasking, homescreen wallpapers, a revamped email app, and more. Here is our brief scoop on all the new stuff and all that’s still missing.

What’s new:

Homescreen wallpapers
Folder organization of the homescreen icons
Multitasking and fast app switching
Google/Wikipedia search in Spotlight
Bluetooth keyboard pairing support
SMS character counter
SMS search
Email threading
Unified Email inbox
Email archiving is now available when you setup Gmail
Spell checker
iPod music player can now create, edit and delete playlists
5x digital zoom in still camera
Touch-focus in video capture (for video enabled iPhones)
Keyboard layouts span over QWERTY, QWERTZ, and AZERTY
Minor icon design facelifts
Video call support (only in iPhone 4 and only over Wi-Fi)
iBooks e-book and PDF reader
What’s still missing:
No Flash support in the web browser
No true multitasking for all applications
iOS4 for iPhone 3G has limited new feature set
Poor performance on iPhone 3G
No quick toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 3G
No social networking integration
No info widgets on lockscreen or homescreen
SMS tones are still not customizable
No mass mark emails as read
No proper file browser or access to the file system
No USB mass storage mode
No vibration feedback when touching the screen
No Bluetooth file transfers to other mobile phones
Contacts lack a swipe-to-delete or mass delete feature
No SMS/MMS delivery notifications
No smart dialing (but Spotlight is a somewhat of a substitute)
No DivX or XviD video support and no official third-party application to play that

The whole iPhone is too dependent on iTunes - you cannot add the same type of content (video, photos, apps) to the phone from two computers, a regular file management interface would have been much better

With the iPhone it’s never about what the phone can or cannot do. The iOS 4 however seems finally determined to catch up with most of the today’s smartphones. You’re not to expect miracles though – such as a file browser, USB mass storage mode, web Flash support, and other stuff that seems irrelevant to Apple.

Anyway, we’ve tested iOS 4 on both an iPhone 3GS and a 3G. It’s worth noting that a lot of the new features aren’t available on the now discontinued iPhone 3G. Worse yet, the iOS 4 is heartbreakingly slow on the 3G. We somehow feel though that the average iPhone user is way more likely to go straight to Number Four than bother install the latest OS on an older device. Or at least that’s what Apple would prefer.

Vibration packs aim to replace batteries for gadgets (tech, news, report, Auckland, Abby Technology)

A Japanese electronics firm has shown off a vibration-harvesting generator that could replace standard batteries.  This post is sponsored by Abby Technology - Your iPhone Repair Specialist

The Vibration Energy Cell batteries deliver power after a vigorous shake

Brother Industries, better known for its line of printers, claims the devices could be used in place of AA or AAA batteries for some applications.

At an event in Tokyo, the firm showed the device powering a TV remote control, a remote switch for a lamp and an LED torch.

The mechanism works similarly to that of a bicycle light dynamo, only in this instance movement from a few shakes provides the energy to power.

• A step closer to self-powered kit

"Our Vibration Energy Cells generate electricity using a coil, a magnet, and condenser that charges electricity. These are all embedded in the battery," a Brother spokesman told BBC News.

"Because of its low output this type of cell is designed to be used for things such as TV remote controls and LED devices, which consume low power and do not consume electrical power continuously."

Energy shaker

The idea behind the technology is to remove the need for toxic rechargeable batteries and other disposable batteries that can harm the environment, said the company.

So far, two of the AA sized prototypes developed produce a voltage of 3.2V or lower, which is just enough to charge low power consumption device such as TV remote controls.

It does not matter how long you shake it. It depends on the number of shakes, and how you shake.”

SpokespersonBrother

Despite the low power, Carl Telford an analyst at electronics business consultants Strategic Business Insights, says the batteries are a significant break through with much potential.

"It's great because they will work OK in a low-power application for AA batteries that one can shake without breaking; a remote control, for example," he told BBC News.

"Of its size, it is small, compact, and directly compatible with existing power sources. Brother says that it can produce enough power at reasonably low frequencies, around 4-8Hz - this is impressive.

"Walking with a device in your pocket would vibrate with a frequency of around 2Hz. You'd need to shake the remote quite briskly, but it would work."

Other researchers are also working on motion-generated and alternative power for gadgets and electronics in the hope of making them self-sufficient.

Energy boot

Amongst others, American company TenXsys Inc. is now developing its Kinetic Energy Scavenging technology for various application including those for the military.

And UK mobile operator Orange recently revealed its Power Wellies, created in collaboration with renewable energy experts GotWind.

Using a "power generating sole" the boots convert heat from the wearer's feet into an electrical current.

This "welectricity" can then be used to re-charge a mobile phone. Twelve hours of stomping in the Orange Power Wellies will give enough power to charge a mobile phone for one hour, according to the company.

Brother claims no such effort is needed to power its batteries.

A TV remote control would require a power-inducing shake after 10-30 button presses says Brother.

"It does not matter how long you shake it. It depends on the number of shakes, and how you shake. It varies depending on the force - long swing or short swing or speed of swing, etc - you put in to shake the remote," the spokesman said.

There are no plans to commercialise the batteries as yet, according to Brother.

"Currently the cells are still in the trial phase and so far we do not have a clear business plan for this item. However, we will continue to monitor the market to make a business plan when needed."

Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 to hit Germany by the end of July, 2010 (cell, phone, news, report

This post is sponsored by Abby Technology - Your iPhone Repair Specialist
The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 was announced a good one month ago and apparently it is almost ready to start shipping across Germany. The Android-running phone is said to hit the German market by the end of this very month.
The recently announced Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 paid us a short visit a little while ago. The device is based on the Android platform (Android OS v2.1 a.k.a. Eclair) and packs a 3.2" capacitive touchscreen of WQVGA resolution.


Also on board there is a 3.2MP autofocus sharpshooter as well as support for Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth3.0 and HSDPA. The phone features a GPS receiver and a microSD card slot ready to accommodate cards with up to 32GB of inbuilt memory.
The Galaxy 3 (which is a twin bro of the Galaxy Apollo i5801, which is already available in the UK) is among the few Android-powered smartphones with support for DivX/XviD video right out of the box.
The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 is said to start selling in Germany before the end of July for an estimated price of 300 Euro.

Sony Ericsson Aspen review: Tree-hugging business (mobile, phone, tech, news, report, Auckland)

Introduction

The Aspen may well be the phone you’re least likely to expect from Sony Ericsson. To begin with, it’s a PocketPC but shuns comparison to the XPERIA line. On a second thought though – it’s a concept that can be traced way back in the Sony Ericsson portfolio. The mythical P series were at one point the place to look for the ultimate smartphone. Symbian UIQ even extended to include the G series and the M series. Those of you paying attention might as well remember a couple of touchscreen Walkman phones too.
But this is no time for a crash course in Sony Ericsson history. The Aspen is about to hit the shelves and we guess you are busy doing your homework.
Touchscreen, D-pad and a full QWERTY keyboard – the Sony Ericsson Aspen is a gadget designed to put you in control. But where some will see endless possibilities of interacting with the device, others will be right to question the usability of the whole thing. Too many buttons leave little room for the display – a small and low-res touchscreen is one compromise Aspen’s users will have to be prepared to consider.


On the other hand though, the Sony Ericsson Aspen runs the latest WinMo Pro version and has a fair degree of UI customization to try and offer the best user experience. The phone brings a complete set of business features and even attempts to deliver above-average media. Not least, the GreenHeart logo will perhaps serve as extra motivation for users to give the Aspen a try.


Key features

Four-row QWERTY keyboard, D-pad navigation
2.4" 65K-color resistive touchscreen of 320 x 240 pixel resolution
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional with XPERIA panels
256MB RAM, 265MB ROM, 100MB user storage
Quad-band GSM support and 3G with HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 2Mbps support

Wi-Fi b/g
GPS with A-GPS support
DivX, XviD video support
microSD card slot (up to 16GB, 8GB card in the box)
3.15 megapixel fixed-focus camera, geotagging, VGA video recording @ 15fps
Office document viewer
Web browser has Flash support
Stereo FM Radio with RDS; TrackID
microUSB and stereo Bluetooth v2.0
3.5mm audio jack
Made of recycled materials, comes with waterborne paint
Main disadvantages
Small and low-res touchscreen display
Fairly customized but inconsistent UI
No proximity sensor for in-call screen auto locking
No secondary video-call camera
Memory card slot under the battery cover
Poor still imaging and video, no flash
Video playing limited to QVGA
Poor task switching

The Aspen may not be most people’s first choice of a PocketPC but it fits the bill for business. Not least because of its fairly compact size and messenger form factor. It enters a market dominated by Nokia’s Eseries and BlackBerry but seems to have enough character to set itself apart.
    
It also looks likely to be cheaper than the average BlackBerry and Nokia enterprise handsets. It adds touchscreen to a standard QWERTY keyboard. While this isn’t that much of an advantage in this form factor, users are at least given an extra degree of functionality. The eco-friendly vibe and the human curvature styling are some extra points in its favor.
Among other things, the Aspen is perhaps helping Sony Ericsson stay focused while waiting for WinMo 7. It also does well to bring an extra dimension to their GreenHeart lineup. So, it may repay in more ways than one but – as usual – the question we’re asking is what it offers users. Follow us on the next page as we start exploring the Sony Ericsson Aspen. The first thing on our checklist is exterior and handling.
