Does the New Motorola Droid behave as nicely as it should?

January 28th, 2010 Admin No Comments »

The new Droid phone is definitely a step up for phones that utilize the Google Android system, and it is definitely a phone that has gotten everyone’s attention. But, does the phone really live up to the hype? Well, that is up to you to decide, but here are some quick thoughts on the phone after a general going over.

First of all, the shape and size of the phone are nice - especially considering the fact that the phone includes a full, real QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is a bit awkward to use at first, but you quickly adapt to it with a bit of practice. The phone is nice to look at, but the real fun begins when you turn it on.

The resolution on the phone is brilliant - needless to say, this one is a looker! You will see on this phone a screen that is definitely above any of it’s Android predecessors and one that definitely competes with others on the market. As far as performance goes, the Droid can seem a bit stuttery at times - though this is easily made up for by the speed and quickness with which other functions are performed. Also, the camera takes decent stills, but what is really amazing about the Droid is the video that it can take! You will be amazed at the high quality of the video that you can capture on this phone! Another great feature on this phone is the audio. Built in, on board audio, from conference calls to music, is very good! It is undistorted, clear, and very pleasant to the ears. Some of this is certainly due to Verizon’s network, but Motorola must have put some serious effort into it as well!

All in all, this phone is a keeper! Two thumbs up for a winner from Motorola!

BioWallet Android Apps - The phones of the future

December 15th, 2009 Admin No Comments »

As we move into the future of mobile communication, one thing is for certain - technology is definitely catching up with us! And when  you start to see kids with retinal scanners on their mobile phones, you know that we have surged through the present and are now flying wildly into the future. What kind of future is that? Well, what it seems like right now is a world of jumbles, with the technologically impaired stumbling along, clashing with the tech-savvy, who are bent on a total worldwide “rewire” that will finally connect everyone, and everything, on a perfect, instant network.

Basically, we all want the same thing - mobile phones that are more like computers, offices, communication devices, social networking tools - and even our link to the rest of the world. As the world grows more dependent on mobile phones, the more they continue to evolve.  You read as the subject of this article about a program called Biowallet. What is that app? Well, it is simply a retinal scanner for mobile phones. You can use it to set a password on your phone so secure that only YOU can unlock it - by scanning your eye retina! Is this really so surprising? Not really - after all, people in countries like Korea have been using this type of security in their day-to-day lives for years now. But in the United States, most homes still don’t have alarm systems! A simple dead bolt suffices for many people, which shows that cell phones are perhaps evolving more than we are!

There is no doubt that mobile phones are getting  more sophisticated - but will their boundaries know any limits? Probably not, but we will see.

November 2nd, 2009 Admin No Comments »

It’s been some time since T-Mobile’s G1, which utilizes Google’s ground-breaking Android Operating System, was made available for purchase.  Finally, the concept has began to expand, especially now that there are many Android and smart phones on the market.  Here is a review of every Android phone, past and present.

T-Mobile G1

T-Mobile G1 is the dynamic, first “Google Phone” that was made public in October ‘08, which was said to be iPhone’s biggest competitor.  Some users thought that the G1 produced by HTC, Taiwanese mobile experts, did not live up to the hype.  The phone was just too bulky, and its sliding keyboard was too cumbersome?couldn’t be used with only one hand.

But, to the G1’s credit, there were many outstanding technological innovations, especially the smooth integration of many Google apps: maps, street view, and search.  And, the G1 users were pleased with the internet connection’s speed and reliability, which means that T-Mobile accomplished their goal of actually making the internet mobile.

Android Power Shakes up Smartphone Universe

June 27th, 2009 Admin No Comments »

In 2007, the mobile phone market underwent a revolution of sorts when Apple released the iPhone. It was an internet device, an iPod, and a phone all in one package, and it had a large touch screen display.  Nobody has been able to match it yet. The popularity of the Apple iPhone has caused many “traditional” cell phone users to become more interested in these new “smartphones” with touch screens.

Pretty much every major mobile phone maker has since 2007 added touch screen handsets to their offerings, but none have been able to match the impact of the iPhone. Now that mobile phones are seen as essentials for pretty much everyone, will smartphones like the iPhone evolve in the same way? (more…)

iPhone Ringtones

May 29th, 2009 Admin No Comments »

Iphones have become very popular these days. The features are amazing. The younger generation is very much keen to personalize the mobile with a customized iphone ringtone. There are many websites available where you can  download music you like and thanks to the converters available in the market, you can make ringtones from basically any audio file.

There are so many websites available which allows you to create a customized ringtone. Just make a free sign up and then upload your desired mp3 song. You will have a time period to select a portion of the song. This part of the song will be your caller tune. Now it has to be converted into an iphone format. There will be obvious buttons or links to be clicked anywhere on the page. On clicking, it will take few seconds to process and then a download button will appear which will say that your ringtone is ready.

On downloading it by a click, you can save it on your computer. Then use iTunes to transfer it to your iphone. Now open the iTunes program and open the folder to drag the specified ringtone that you have saved. Simply connect your iphone to transfer it.

Here are some of the basic steps on how to install ringtones in the iphone:

• Select the SETTINGS option which will have a picture of circular gears.

• Choose SOUNDS option and select which ringtone you want.

• Use the RING or SOUNDS check box and have a tick to select when you want to hear the ringtone sound. It can be set for an incoming call or text message and anything.

• If you wish to activate the vibrate option, go to SOUNDS and select VIBRATE option.

• You can turn off the ringer by the use of the switch on the side of the iphone.

The entire process is just simple and a basic 123 process. I hope the directions are given clearly to create and install the iphone ringtone.
