Google unveils Nexus S with Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’ (Abby Technology Limited, Auckland) 0212640000

(By Ben Patterson – Mon Dec 6, 12:10 pm ET)  http://tiny.cc/nexuss
Yep, the rumors are true: The Samsung-built, "pure Google" Nexus S is real, and it's coming to T-Mobile or a Best Buy near you this month — complete with "Gingerbread," the latest version of the Android OS.
Google unveiled the long-rumored Nexus S -- the sequel to the Nexus One from way back in January -- early Monday, and as expected, the new handset is chock-full of snazzy 


Among them: a 5-megapixel camera in back (capable of 720p video recording), along with a VGA lens for video chat up front; a 4-inch, WVGA Super AMOLED display; 16GB of internal storage; and NFC (Near Field Communications) support for reading "smart" tags on nearby, "everyday" objects like movie posters, stickers and the like — or even, eventually, allow you to use your phone as a tap-enabled credit card. Under the hood hums a 1GHz Hummingbird processor.
 
No, the Nexus S's 4-inch, 800-by-480 screen isn't a Retina display, like the one on the iPhone 4. Instead Google is touting what it calls the Contour display: a slightly curved screen designed for the contour of your face. Interesting.
More important than the new hardware goodies is the fact that the Nexus S will be the first phone to ship with the long-awaited Android 2.3 Gingerbread update.
 
Expect such features as one-touch word selection for copy-and-paste (just tap a word and hold to select a single word and copy it to the clipboard, or tap to bring up a pair of arrows that you can drag around a selection of text); a new application manager that shows you how much power and memory your various apps are using; native Internet voice calling support; a redesigned on-screen QWERTY keypad for "faster, more intuitive typing" (so says Google); and a series of user interface tweaks for "simplicity and speed."
 
As with the HTC-made Nexus One, Google is calling the Nexus S a "pure Google" phone that was built by a third-party manufacturer — Samsung, in this case — under Google's strict supervision, to guarantee "tight integration of hardware and software" and essentially deliver an unfiltered Android experience, free from any bloatware or custom elements imposed by carriers.
Google promises that the handset will be available online and at Best Buy — either unlocked or with a T-Mobile contract — starting Dec. 16, or after Dec. 20 in the U.K. at Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy outlets. Unlike the Nexus One, however, Google will not be selling its new Nexus direct over the Web. As for pricing: $529 unlocked, or $199 with a two-year T-Mobile service plan, according to Best Buy's website (via Android Central).
 
TechCrunch managed to crank out an early review of the Nexus S, which it calls "sleeker" and "significantly faster" than the Nexus One, even if its "generic black plastic case" feels "somewhat cheap." TechCrunch also praises the phone's "good" battery life and solid camera quality.

Google Updates Gmail App For Android 2.2 (Froyo) With Priority Inbox & Improved Interface

Google have recently released an update to their Gmail application for Android, with the addition of new features for Android 2.2 (Froyo) users. The new update is now live in the Android Market, so anybody who owns a Froyo device can head over to the Market and grab the update for themselves. http://tiny.cc/androidmail  

There are a number of features included in this latest update that a lot of users will appreciate. One of the most noticeable things that have arrived in the update is the addition of priority inbox. This means that you will be able to see an ‘important’ label tagged on to some of the emails that you have marked as important, and view all of these in both a separate folder to your inbox, and get to them quickly if you are browsing your entire inbox.

  

Message replies have also been made more usable. When you are in an email, your message actions (the reply button, alongside other controls) will now stick to the top of the screen, so that you don’t have to scroll right to the top of the email to access these controls. This is a feature I have wanted to be present in Gmail for Android since I started using it, and it’s one that makes things a lot easier to use, especially when quickly replying to a message or starring it after I’ve read it. ]
 
Another feature that has made its way over from the desktop version of Gmail is the ability to view previous emails in a thread of messages. All you have to do to access the previous message is tap on the “show quoted text” button, so you can catch up with an old email conversation!

This is significant for more than one reason… Firstly, Gmail updates have previously come along with new versions of Android, meaning that the app wasn’t downloadable itself from the Android Market. This has now changed, with Gmail getting its own entry in the Market, separately from Android itself.
 
Secondly, the update is available only for Android 2.2 users, bringing us back to the issue of fragmentation on Google’s Android mobile platform. Although over half of the Android users in the world are now using 2.1 or later, there are still a lot of people stuck on older versions, and the older version of Gmail as a result.
Current phones with Android 2.2 in the UK include Google’s own Nexus One, as well as a selection of HTC’s phones such as the HTC Desire. In the USA, the Nexus One, HTC EVO, Motorola Droid 2 and Motorola Droid runs Google’s latest and greatest.
 
If you want to grab the update for yourself, just scan the QR code below with your phone (don’t know how to do this? Check out our guide to QR codes) or search for Gmail in the Market. Note that if you aren’t running Android 2.2, this new version of Gmail won’t appear in the Market.
 
Will this latest update to Google’s Gmail app for Android encourage you to use the service more often, or have you been using it despite its various shortcomings anyway? I for one will probably be making more use out of my Gmail account on the go, but we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Nokia N8 review: Director of photography (tech, news, mobile, phone, android, 2010, report, update, Auckland)

Introduction

We’ve come to take Nokia for granted in the low end or the business class but it seems it has lost the knack for killer phones, run out of royal blood. It’s up to the Nseries to fix it all up. The Nokia N8 may just turn out to be the right cure. With that kind of hardware, it’s a smartphone you’d be mad to ignore. For a change we are not talking netbook-grade processing power or loads of RAM. Nokia have instead given their flagship an industry-leading camera and stuff like HDMI port and USB-On-the-Go.  <http://tiny.cc/NokiaN8>

The Finnish engineers often like to make a point about Symbian being the most resource-effective OS. We’ve seen it run reasonably fast indeed on even slower CPUs. This time though it’s Symbian ^3, so we’ll have to see it again to believe it.

Key features

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
Penta-band 3G with 10.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA support
Sleek anodized aluminum unibody
3.5" 16M-color AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of 640 x 360 pixel resolution
12 megapixel autofocus camera with xenon flash and 720p@25fps video recording
Camera features: large 1/1.83” camera sensor, mechanical shutter, ND filter, geo-tagging, face detection
Symbian^3 OS
680 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 256 MB RAM
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
microHDMI port for 720p TV-out functionality
GPS receiver with A-GPS support and free lifetime voice-guided navigation
Digital compass
16GB on-board storage, expandable through the microSD card slot
Active noise cancellation with a dedicated mic

DivX and XviD video support
Built-in accelerometer and proximity sensor
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
Stereo FM Radio with RDS, FM transmitter
microUSB port with USB On-the-go support
Flash and Java support for the web browser
Stereo Bluetooth 3.0
Nice audio reproduction quality
Smart and voice dialing
Scratch resistant Gorilla glass display
Main disadvantages
Symbian^3 is still behind Android and iOS usability standards
No video light
Camera interface is decidedly outdated
Relatively limited 3rd party software availability
No office document editing (without a paid upgrade)
Video player has some issues
Battery life is not on par with best in the business
Battery is not user-replaceable
 
There’s certainly a lot of pressure on the Nokia N8. People are probably expecting more from it than the very guys who designed it. But the N8 was never meant to compete with the iPhone 4 or the Galaxy S. At least, that’s what Nokia will gladly have you believe.
You see, with the Nokia N8 it’s not about who the competition is. Not about the business benefits of a smartphone, not about the available apps. It’s about the best camera in the business. Now, we’ll have to see about that. Again.

The N8 already managed to put a dedicated digicam to shame in our recent blind test. But it will take more than that to get the thumbs up at the end of a full review. The camera is certainly impressive but it’s the overall balance and bang-for-buck that count most in our books here so the N8 better have more aces up its sleeve.
We pop the box open after the break.

Samsung to unveil the Google Nexus S on 8 November? (tech, news, update, Auckland, "Android Repair", "iPhone Unlock", Auckland)

There is something cooking over at the Samsung camp and we're about to see what in just two weeks, on 8 November. Rumor has it, this might actually be the next-gen Google Nexus, the Nexus S (Nexus Two). <http://tiny.cc/samsungnexus>

There's nothing certain yet, but Samsung has a press event scheduled for the 8 November where a new Android smartphone will be presented.


There's already a brew of rumors that Google will present their next Nexus smartphone before the end of the year. Adding two and two together, it's only natural to assume that the new Nexus phone is what Samsung will present.


In fact, rumors go as far as saying that the new Google phone will be a restyled Samsung Galaxy S - hence the name, Nexus S.


Gizmodo reportedly has an unidentified source that confrms all these rumors and add that the handset has a front-facing secondary camera and a curved back. Other than that it's the Galaxy S alright.


The Nexus S should be running the latest and greatest of Android OS and we're guessing it's the yet to be unveiled Android 2.3 a.k.a. Gingerbread.


The Google Nexus S should show up on 8 November and start selling in time for the holidays but there is still no word on its price.

Christchurch hits with 7.4 Richter Earrthequake - Sat, 4 September 2010 (news, update, report)

 Christchurch has been left devastated after a massive 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck 30km west of the city at 4.35am this morning.  (http://alturl.com/yp83k)


The quake was at a depth of 33km and was centred near Darfield, and has left large parts of the area without power, water or telephones.


Roads have been blocked by debris after the several buildings collapsed onto the streets, leaving their interiors visible and the central city resembling a war zone.




At 4.35am this morning, a trail of destruction was left behind by a powerful eartquake hit Christchurch.
A massive 7.4 Richter quake strucked the west of Christchurch, 30km west of the City.  The quake took place at a depth of 33km which was centred close to Darfiled which cause some major destruction to major part of the area.


There were few aftershocks but the authorities were quick to respond and provide assistance to the locals. Wardens could be seen at affected areas. No deaths were reported.

Apple has record breaking quarter, iPhone and Mac sales up (tech, news report, Auckland)

22 July, 2020---The iPhone 4's controversial antenna may experience drops in signal, but there's no dropping when it comes to Apple's financial results. They exceeded even Apple's own expectations leading them to break all sorts of records.


In the third fiscal quarter of 2010 (which ends on June 26), Apple's revenue is 15.7 billion US dollars and the net profit is 3.25 billion dollars. Just an year ago those figures were 9.73 billion dollars revenue and 1.83 billion dollars net profit.


The record income comes from record sales - 8.4 million iPhones were sold during the quarter (an astonishing 61% growth compared to last year's third quarter) and the Mac lineup of computers sold 33% more units as well. The iPads reached 3.27 million units sold.
About 52% of the revenue is due to international sales. It seems the only things that have fallen down are the iPod sales, which took an 8% dip (not really unexpected), and the gross margin which fell to 39.1% (down from 40.9%).


All eyes are on the fourth quarter now - and Apple has some bright plans for it. They are predicting a revenue of 18 billion US dollars for Q4. Considering they over-fulfilled their expectations for this quarter, they'll probably reach that goal and maybe even go further.
