5 Most Awaited Smartphones of 2011

2010 will be remembered as the year when Android got serious and when smartphones got off their pedestal and became more approachable to the regular consumer. Here we list the five smartphones that look like they might define and shape the market in 2011.

LG Star

It looks like 2011 will be the year when smartphone specs will break many barriers. The rumored LG Star (aka Optimus 2X) is one such smartphone with a rumored 1GHz dual core processor (either Nvidia�s Tegra 2 or the ARM Cortex A9) and a 4-inch capacitive display with a resolution of 480x800 and color output of 16M colors. While leaked info claims that the Optimus 2X will be launching with Android 2.2 (Froyo), we won�t be surprised if it actually shows up with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Another thing that excites us about the 2X is its 8MP autofocus camera. Since LG phones have always impressed with their multimedia capabilities, it�s not hard to predict that the Optimus 2X�s camera will be very good. The LG is also supposed to have an HDMI port to output 720p videos and will most certainly support playback of XviD/DivX videos.

When it�s expected: While most sources say that it should be revealed by LG in January, a safer bet would be the first quarter of 2011.

Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone

This could just be the biggest game-changer of them all. While the iPhone has certainly given a huge impetus to quality mobile gaming, the rumored PlayStation phone from Sony Ericsson could be the device that completely erases the line between phones and handheld gaming devices. While rumors started coming out in August about the PlayStation phone, further information has trickled through gradually. However, whatever we have learnt so far is quite enough to make us seriously excited about this phone. Things like actual dedicated hardware gaming controls and 3.7-inch display to watch the action on sound great on paper. Add to that a 1GHz processor, Android 2.3 OS and a 5MP camera make the PlayStation phone look like a one stop device for all your mobile entertainment needs.

When it�s expected: Since the phone already seemed to be a tangible one back in August, we expect it to be revealed in the first quarter and most probably at February�s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Nokia E7

The Nokia E7 was announced back in September and for once we have plenty of information on it. If you are Symbian fan and want an alternative to the Nokia N8 with a focus on productivity over multimedia, then you should look forward to the E7. That doesn�t mean that the E7 skimps on multimedia features, in fact its specs sheet would put plenty of smartphones to shame. Specs such as a 4-inch AMOLED display, an 8MP camera (which is unfortunately fixed-focus like the C7) and HDMI out look really good. Add to that a huge four-row slide-out keyboard and Nokia�s traditionally excellent design and build quality and you have a contender in the E7 for one of the better smartphones to come out in 2011.

When it�s expected: Taking into consideration the time Nokia usually takes to launch a product after announcing it; the E7 should make its way into stores in January.

Apple iPhone 5

Apple has said absolutely nothing about the iPhone 5 but it�s virtually assured that there will be a new iPhone in 2011. Of course, that hasn�t stopped rumors and leaks from surfacing and it looks like Apple will be making certain changes to the iPhone 4 but nothing drastically game changing. Leaked images of what is purported to be the iPhone 5 show a curved back like on the iPhones before the iPhone 4, with a metal bezel extending to the front. Also, the menu button will now be a touch sensitive one rather than the round physical button the iPhone sports now. Other improvements that the iPhone 5 is supposed to have include- a faster 1.2 GHz processor, more memory and a larger 3.7-inch display. Why are we excited? It�s a goddamned new iPhone; I think it�s pretty much mandatory for tech journalists to get excited.

When it�s expected: Rumors put the launch date anywhere from January to December. We are more inclined to believe that the Apple iPhone 5 will show up in the second quarter during the summer months.

Samsung Galaxy S 2

The best Android smartphone in the market today will get a successor in 2011, if rumors are to be believed. The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is supposed to have a 2GHz dual-core processor and a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip that will make it possible to use your phone as a credit card. The Galaxy S 2 will probably run on Android 2.3 and will have a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED 2 display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB ROM, 32GB of internal support along with support for microSD cards up to 32GB, an 8MP camera that can record 720p videos and Bluetooth 3.0 support. By all accounts, the Galaxy S 2 looks like it will give netbooks a run for their money and we like that.

When it�s expected: Samsung is expected to reveal the Galaxy S 2 at the Mobile World Congress in February.

iPad 2 to have new speakers and a flat back

More rumors about the second generation of iPad flood the internet again. Earlier this month, there were rumors about iPad 2 having two cameras. Now, we have a few new rumors, coming straight from Japan, from the blog MacOtakara. The blog says that the rumors may not be true, but they surely are interesting.

The blog says that the frame or the case of the iPad will shave off 3mm to make it smaller. But the display will be of the same size. The overall dimension of the iPad will be reduced from 242.8mm to 239mm (height) and 189.7mm to 186mm (width). This will surely make a change, will feel kind of small. And another big thing is the rear part of the tablet. We have a bulge at the rear now. The new model is rumored to be flat at the rear. This will be really good.

Now, if the tablet is placed on a table and you try to use it, it wobbles each time you tab on the display. This is completely irritating. Probably, if this particular rumor is true, it will be very good if you are at your study/work table and work on the tablet with one hand and drink coffee with the other. No more wobbling.

The next, and which also would be a very welcome change is of new speakers on the iPad. There is an image showing this off, which is a rendering by Taiyo Fujii for MacOtakara. I�ve added the picture below. This looks good now as the casing is also changed. Also, the speakers are said to me more loud and bigger than the previous model�s. We have to see the performance now.

We also saw in the previous rumor that the next version of the iPad will also have two cameras, one at the back and one at the front. The back camera may be the same camera which is on iPhone 4. The front facing camera, which can be used for video calling and taking self portraits, would probably with a VGA or a 1.3MP camera.

As these still remain rumors, there is another rumor that the second generation iPad is already in the production line and the shipping will start from next month. So Apple can surprise us in any way. Lets hope if not all, most of the rumors get true.

Dell Inspiron iM501R Laptop Review

The Dell Inspiron iM501R laptop is one of the coolest laptops of the month. The configuration is good, and gives good performance as well. The price is proper, something like value for money. The configuration of the laptop is as follows.

Processor : AMD Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile processor
Memory : 4GB3 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
Chipset : AMD M880G Chipset
Graphics Standard : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Operating System : Genuine Windows� 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Display : 15.6" Widescreen HD glossy WLED display with TrueLife Panel (1,366x768)
Hard Disk : 500GB3, 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Speakers : SRS Premium Sound - 2 speakers @ 2W
Optical Drives : Internal 12.7" Tray-Load DVD+/-RW
Power : 2.2AHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Battery
Price at the time of review : $819.99

The laptop runs on an AMD processor. I�ve been using an AMD laptop for like two years now, and an Intel desktop PC for almost the same time. Both are comparable when it comes to the processors they have, but I get a lot better performance from the laptop, which runs on an AMD chip. No offense Intel, but I�ve lot interest in you. The PC tends to become sluggish after a time.

But there are drawbacks with AMD as well, first is the well known heating issue. The laptop gets heated up in no time, its true. I use a cooling pad under my laptop for the reason. But the performance you get is of no match. Anyway, the processor in this case is a Phenom II quad-core processor, which is a lot similar to Intel�s i5. Not at all a bad choice.

Coming to the memory, it has 4GB DDR3 installed, no issues here as well. Its a lot for anything you can possibly do. Also, the frequency of the memory is 1,333 MHz. With this comes the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 dedicated graphics card of up to 1GB. Seriously, if you are not a hard core gamer, this is some serious configuration for the price you are going to pay.

Its got a 500GB hard disk in it, so you can get all the stuff you need inside your laptop. If you are a movies or music buff, like me, then you can enjoy it with the beautiful 15.6� HD widescreen TrueLife display and the built in stereo speakers which produce 2W each and have premium SRS sound. Sweet, isn�t it?

With this being the main area of interest, you have all the other usual ports and stuffs. You even have a 7-in-1 card reader. But one disappointing this is that the laptop has only one line out jack, that is the head phone jack. Most laptops started shipping with two of these and one mic in ports like years back. I dont know why this has only one line out port.

There are all the kinds of wireless connectivity options that are standard. You can have different color options and a bit change in the config as well, it depends on your needs. If you are satisfied with this, you can buy Dell Inspiron iM501R laptop now for $819.99 from The Tech Check Store. Other options of similar laptops are also given below.

Netflix, iTunes, K Mart?

Most are aware of the popular video streaming and downloading services. These include Netflix, iTunes, Amazon's Video on Demand, and more. These are all services that let you either buy individual movies or TV shows, or, in Netflix's case, stream an unlimited number of movies and TV shows for a monthly fee.

Apparently the idea of getting content online as opposed to walking into a shop such as the slowly falling Blockbuster, which has also started getting into the on demand market, became very popular. Popular enough that Sears and K Mart partnered up with a digital media software company called Sonic to create an online movie and TV show download site called Alphaline Entertainment.

Alphaline Entertainment Homepage

   Alphaline Entertainment may have some catch-up to do, because, although this is not a giant difference, movie buying prices are a few dollars more on Alphaline. The rental prices are the same at $2.99, but iTunes has TV rentals for 99 cents, while Alphaline only has TV purchasing.
   When watching a trailer on Alphaline vs. Amazon, Alphaline's video quality was noticeably better, but took longer to load. On Amazon, the trailer played fine in my Google Chrome browser, but on Alphaline, I had to open Internet Explorer (Which crashed on me. Again). Also, to log in, and pretty much to do anything else on Alphaline, you must be using Internet Explorer or Firefox.
   I then purchased an episode of the 1962 show The Jetsons. When I tried downloading it, the Alphaline Website told me to download the RoxioNow Media Player, which is free. After I got the RoxioNow software, I tried to find a way to download the TV episode. I still have not been able to find a way to download the media.
   Until I can get either 1. My download, or 2. My $1.99 back, I don't plan on using Alphaline again, and I don't recommend it for you. Also, how much do you trust Sears and K Mart to know about downloads, web sites, and software programs?
   For now, Alphaline Entertainment seems like a big red flag. Unless you want to watch high quality movie trailers online.

UPDATE: The problem I had with downloading the video was something with Google Chrome. To download the episode, I needed to be using Firefox, not Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. To watch a trailer on the site, I needed to be using Internet Explorer. Strange, huh?

Well, I did get my $1.99 worth of video, but iTunes: better, cheaper, and easier.

Nokia BH-218 Review

Nokia Corporation, is a Finnish based multinational communications corporation. The company is involved in manufacturing the mobile devices and also in converging the internet and the communications industries. It is also the largest manufacturer of the mobile phones in the entire world. The company also manufactures Bluetooth headsets and other accessories. The release of the company�s N8 handset has hid all the other devices that are being let out by Nokia in the market. The BH-218 is one of the latest headsets released by Nokia. It has almost all of the necessary features. It carries the same features as the previous headset from Nokia, the BH-217.

Specifications

* Dimensions: 54 x 19 x 13.8 mm
* Weight: 13.8 grams
* Connectors: 2 mm charger connector interface
* Operating Range: 10 m (Bluetooth)
* Power supply: 70 mAh rechargeable lithium ion polymer battery
* Talk time: 8 hours (Bluetooth)
* Stand by time: 3 months when the earpiece is in the clip; 150 hours when it is not in the clip
* Charging time: 2 hours
* Features: DSP noise reduction, automatic volume adjustment, voice prompts
* Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR
* Package contents: BH-218 Bluetooth headset, Nokia charger AC-3, earplugs (S and L), user guide
* Price: $50

Design

The BH-218 headset has an unconventional design with a separate clip in order to make it have a clip on type of design. The headset possesses a single ear bud that is attached with a cable. Though the design is unusual, it is highly convenient and comfortable to use in most of the cases. The headset turns on and off automatically whenever the ear piece is taken away from the clip. This will definitely boost the battery life to a large extent. The design of the BH-218 is alone different from that of the BH-217. All the other features are the same. The clip of the headset is slim and minimalistic with an answer or end key alone. The company logo is also found on the clip. The cable that connects the ear bud is a controversial design element of the headset as it is found to dangle from the clip and it has to be hid to obtain a better fit after a call is over. There is a tiny plastic part with the mute switch and the microphone on the cable. The volume rocker would be a terrible lack in the beginning but it goes off after getting aware about the automatic volume adjustment. The ear bud offers a nice and comfortable fit just as the regular ear buds.

Features

The BH-218 headset is a always ready for use. It can be quickly turned on by picking up the ear piece. It automatically gets connects as soon as the ear piece is taken out of the clip. It has a stand by time of up to 3 months, provided the ear piece is stored on the clip itself. The users can benefit more from the headset as it produces excellent call quality with the built in DSP noise reduction feature. The microphone is also in built in the cable for the high voice quality. The headset has the Advanced Multipoint feature which allows the users to connect it to a maximum of two devices simultaneously. It is also equipped with the Adaptive volume adjustment which compensates for the lack of the volume rocker. The voice prompts are also present in the headset to provide guidance during the Bluetooth pairing process and in the indication of the battery and connection status.

Performance

The headset can be simply powered on by taking the ear bud off the clip. The headset flashes blue when it is ready for the pairing process. There are absolutely no issues in connecting the headset with an iPhone or with a Nokia handset. The multipoint feature is surely a benefit for the users who tend to use different handsets. The headset detects the handset that receives a call at first. The voice prompts that indicates the status of the battery and the connection is also quite useful. The headset supports the headset profile and the hands-free profile. The volume adjustment takes place quickly as well as accurately. The headset is highly good in performance when used in noisy environments. The call quality is clear and the callers can hear us clearly despite of the noise. The callers sound natural and cleat and they can hear us loud enough. The headset has a talk time of 8 hours and a charging time of 2 hours. The headset has a battery life that is quite on par with that claimed by the company.

Conclusion

The BH-218 is an inexpensive headset costing nearly around $50 when compared with the headset series of Nokia. It has some unconventional design aspects and it is quite easy to handle once the user is capable of managing the dangling cable. The headset offers excellent call quality and a comfortable fit. These two aspects are the main features that are expected out of a Bluetooth headset. Pros � excellent call quality and unconventional design. Cons � dangling cable and quiet sound output.

[How-To] - Quickly Empty Trash on MacOS X

So, I often end up in situations where there is just too much data in my Trash and emptying Trash on a Mac can take ages. The annoying bit is � while Trash is being emptied � you can not delete anything else meanwhile. I ran into a situation today where I needed to reclaim my disk space on my internal disk and the only way to do so was to empty trash which had about the same size of stuff in it. Deleting via the Finder window can take ages as it counts the files and deletes them, it almost seems like an endless process.
Apparently, you can do so via the Terminal window

cd ~/.Trash

rm -rf *

That command recursively and silently deletes everything in Trash within minutes.

Apple Mac App Store

Over the past few years the idea of apps became very popular. You can now get iPhone apps from the iOS App Store, or Android apps from the Android Market (although you have to download them from your phone), you can even get apps for your Windows netbook with Intel's AppUp.

Mac App Store Running on a MacBook Air

   Apple, who kind of started the the app thing with it's iPhone and iPod Touch, is doing it again with a app store for the Mac. According to the Apple website, the Mac app store will be available for download on January 6th. It seems almost exactly like the iTunes app store for iOS, but the apps here are a lot more expensive.
   It seems that almost all of the Mac programs you can buy on the shelf at a computer store will be available for download here. Some programs include iPhoto, GarageBand, Color Studio, and Home Watch.
   A similar program to the Mac App store exists already, called Bodega. Bodega can probably do almost everything the Mac app store can do, but must have a smaller selection.

Bodega

So what will the Mac app store give me that something like Bodega won't, and what benefit do I have by using this rather than going to the store and taking the software off the shelf? Why would I want to use the Mac app store?

Mac App Store Logo

   Firstly, coming from Apple, it will be a clean interface, a lot easier than surfing around the web for a download that might not even be there. Also, it will be a great place to find reviews, both good and bad, for the software.
   It seems good so far, but there a few reasons why you may want to stay away. If you have a slow internet connection, this is a bad idea. You don't want to spend hours waiting for a 1GB program to download. Also, Apple will probably have the same approval process here as they do in iOS. Apps may get pulled, and you might not be able to find the apps you want.
   So is this a good thing? For most, yes. But some may find themselves going back to the brick and mortar shops, and pulling that same old software off of those great metal shelves.

FACETIME iPhone 4 - Waiting for Activation Error

It seems quite a number of users a facing this problem.
In Malaysia, there are many cases especially for Celcom subscribers. Officially - only Maxis and Digi are selling iPhone 4. Celcom has yet to officially launch their iPhone 4.
My theory for those who are not able to get their Facetime activated is probably either due to the SMSC is unable to send the activation code to the users or Celcom is intentionally blocked this activation for the time being.
Blocking Facetime activation is a way to deter customers from buying Celcom's competitors iPhone 4.
That's my 2 cents worth of theory.
I purchased the iPhone 4 months ago and have no problem activating Facetime on my Celcom line. I think this problem just recently occurred for the new users.

You could update your iPhone 3G/3GS/4 or iPod Touch 2G/3G to iOS 4.2.1 using iTunes. You could download iOS 4.2.1 IPSW files from the below given direct download links by Apple.

[HOW-TO] - Untethered Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 Using Redsn0w 0.9.7

Breaking News! Thanks to the Source below!
Finally the waiting is over! You can now get your Untethered Jailbreak solution today!
Got the news from the Tweets...and its still Twittering like mad now!
Full details as shown in Redmond Pie website. Even the Dev-Team website has not been updated yet!

The iPhone Dev-Team have just released their �backup plan� (Redsn0w 0.9.7) for untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. The just released beta version of Redsn0w will enable you to jailbreak (untethered) iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch 4G on iOS 4.2.1.

Here�s what you will need to know before proceeding:

iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 4.2.1
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with SHSH blobs saved for iOS 4.2 Beta 3.
Mac OS X
Access to iOS 4.2 Beta 3 firmware file.
If you rely on Ultrasn0w unlock, STAY AWAY from this version of Redsn0w.
Currently limited to iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch 4G only.

The best thing about this �backup plan� is that it doesn�t require you to restore or re-jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Warning Note:

This is a beta tester program. Things can go very wrong, so please don�t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven�t backed up!
Until we fix some sandbox issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth functionality is disabled.

Here�s how to do it:

Note: Skip to Step 2 if you have previously jailbroken (tethered) your iOS device on iOS 4.2.1 with Redsn0w.

Step 1: Restore your iOS device to the official iOS 4.2.1 firmware and jailbreak it using Redsn0w by following our step by step guide posted here.

Step 2: This untethered jailbreak completely relies on SHSH blobs saved for 4.2b3 (iOS 4.2 Beta 3). To check whether you have SHSH blobs saved for iOS 4.2 Beta 3, start Cydia and wait for it to completely load the main page. You should now see �SHSH: 4.2b3� on top as shown in the screenshot below:

Step 3: Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b7 and connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with Mac.

Step 4: Now download usbmuxd from here and extract it on your computer. Start Terminal inpython-client directory and then run the following commands as shown in the screenshot below.

chmod +x tcprelay.py
./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222

Step 5: Start Redsn0w and point it to the official iOS 4.2.1 firmware file.

Step 6: Now click �Next� and select �Jailbreak Monte� option, followed by selecting iOS 4.2 Beta 3 firmware file.

Step 7: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click �Next�.

At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will have to quickly hold �Power� button and then while holding the �Power� button, you will now have to hold �Home� button too. Now after few seconds release �Power� button but keep holding �Home� button until installation begins.

Step 8: Sit back and enjoy while Redsn0w will do all the rest for you. Once done, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will restart automatically and you will find it fully jailbroken (untethered) on the latest iOS 4.2.1 firmware.
