For some people, cell phones are not just some pieces of equipments anymore. The device has turned into some style device. It means, when a person chose a cell phone, the functions were not the only considerations. Well, we all know that the cell phone is the communication media, but today, the cell phone’s functions are not only about the communication, but it’s also about style, prestige and also entertainment. So, if you are the stylish person type, surely you would want to get the excellent stylish cell phones. The new Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 might be the perfect options for you.


The BlackBerry itself has been considered as the one of best kinds of cell phones so far. This is the excellent example of the excellent smart cell phones.

With the announcement of the newly revamped MacBook Pro laptops on the Sandy Bridge platform, we discovered that Apple has also made a change in the discrete graphics cards by moving to AMD Radeon HD 6490M and 6750M cards. This is a major win for AMD as they replace the NVIDIA cards found in previous models. They will offering up to 3x's the graphics performance - Mac gamers rejoice!

In this week's show: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange loses a U.K. court battle, Intel makes a $5 billion bet on new technology, Motorola launches the Xoom, Fujitsu has an enterprise tablet and more.



It appears the saga of the lost (or stolen) iPhone prototype is drawing to a close. Tech blog Gizmodo, which paid $5000 for an unreleased, next-gen iPhone and then posted a detailed preview of the handset, now reports it has returned the device to Apple. Since Cupertino's legal sharks requested in writing that Gizmodo return the iPhone, there's little doubt the handset is the real deal.
The result? Well, the world won't top spinning, but Apple may decide to make Gizmodo's life miserable with some sort of nasty legal action. Perhaps more importantly for Apple, the big reveal may curtail the media hype that will accompany the new iPhone's summer launch.
In fact, the next-gen iPhone has already lost much of its mystery, if not its allure. Thanks to Gizmodo's scoop--ethically questionable or not--we already know what the new iPhone will look like, even though many of its finer attributes remain unknown.
Apple Botched It
Apple's most rabid enthusiasts will no doubt vilify Gizmodo for the iPhone leak, but based on what we know about the incident thus far, it appears that Apple had a chance to quash the story--or at least limit the damage-- and blew it.
Gizmodo reports that after an Apple engineer left the iPhone prototype in a bar on March 18, another patron found the device, which ultimately found its way into the hands of a tech-savvy individual who recognized the iPhone's unique attributes. This personal then attempted to return the device to Apple by phoning the company's contact and support numbers, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
To be fair, low-level support personnel at any company aren't exactly privy to details about hush-hush, unannounced products. If you're a support rep, and you receive a call from someone claiming to have a top-secret Apple product in his possession, you'd probably assume he's a crackpot. (In fact, an unnamed Apple rep told Gizmodo that's pretty much what happened.)
The other possibility is that word of the missing iPhone did reach Apple management, which chose to ignore the incident, hoping it would blow over. In this scenario, no one would sell the phone to a tech blog, and nobody would be the wiser. If the press found out, Apple could issue plausible denials for a few weeks until the iPhone's summer launch.
Don't Talk Or Else
Tales of Apple's over-the-top secrecy are legendary. According to recent reports, developers earlier this year had to keep their iPads tied to a stationary object in a room with blacked-out windows. Andstories of the company's paranoia, including an in-house "loyalty team" that ferrets out leaks, have surfaced in the past. Who knows, perhaps a more open Apple, one where the company's support reps would be more inclined to report potentially lost or stolen gear to their supervisors, could have stopped the Gizmodo leak.
A more open Apple could've simply taken the phone back and said "thanks." But doing so would have been an admission that the device was, in fact, property of Apple. And Cupertino doesn't discuss its unreleased products--ever.
Now, I know that some of you will accuse me of blaming the victim. But the fact is that Apple had an opportunity to plug the leak. Its paranoia contributed to a corporate culture that prevented it from doing so.
Now its summer party has been ruined. Oh, well, there's always the next iPad.

Will the iPad 2 Finally be Unveiled on March 2?

Posted by aashu Thursday, 24 February 2011 0 comments

After I made such a big deal about the iPad shipment getting delayedyesterday, here comes some respite (for the rest of the world at least). I just read on All Things Digital that the iPad 2 will be unveiled on Wednesday, March 2, in San Francisco, California. Wow! That’s just ten days away! They’ve said it with a lot of confidence, and I sure do hope that they’re right about it. Several announcements have been made in the past saying that the iPad 2 will be launched soon, and this gets delayed over and over again. 

Expecting a baby brother real soon

The iPad 2 is definitely one of the most awaited gadgets this year, and we’ve been talking about it for quite a while now. To finally hear about it being launched is quite cool. We’re expecting a lot from this tablet as there have been stories about it having dual cameras, a better display as well as a better processor. Now all we have to do is wait till March 2 to find out how much of this will be realised. All this, of cource, is provided there’s no further update that says the event is further postponed. Hopefully, this is the real deal.

2011 may just as well turn out to be the year of the shooter. This once popular genre had been put on the backburner since the past two years but in 2011, it’s back with a vengeance. You have tons of new IPs in addition to the resurrection of one very, very special one. Let the good  time begin. 

RAGE (Xbox360 PS3 PC)

Insane clown posse

It’s the apocalypse once again and in true Mad Max or Borderlands fashion you must scour the land in your trusty buggy kicking ass, winning races and pillaging all sorts of interesting loot. This FPS cum vehicular racer with quasi RPG mechanics is also high on our “Most Wanted” list as it’ll mark the return of developer id Software after a seven year sabbatical.

Bulletstorm (Xbox360 PS3 PC)

You shall not pass

Bulletstorm may not have the best plot on the planet but it’s definitely grabbed our attention with its balls-to-the-wall, over-the-top gameplay. The demo left us with mixed feeling as there is a slight chance that gameplay could get repetitive but then again, a game that lets you shoot people in the nuts can’t go too wrong right?

Red Faction: Armageddon (Xbox360 PS3 PC)

Survival of the fittest

For reasons no one can fathom, developer Volition went ahead and introduced a survival horror element to Red Faction Armageddon. Thankfully the wanton destruction from Guerilla still exists so tearing structures apart should still be as enjoyable. Only now instead of angry soldiers, it’ll house creatures as well. 

Bodycount (Xbox360 PS3)

waka waka

A spiritual successor to the highly destructive shooter, Black, Bodycount looks to up the ante with even more destruction. The pre-alpha gameplay clip released last year wasn’t too riveting but considering it was pre-alpha code we’ll hope the developers have used this time to apply a truck load of spit and polish. 

Crysis 2 (Xbox360 PS3 PC)

Last action hero

After fictional, lush tropical forests, the action has now shifted to New York city where players once again must fight off nasty aliens and hostile armed forces. And hey, even if you don’t own a bazillion dollar PC you can now play the game in all its limited glory on your PS3 or Xbox360 as the franchise will now be available on consoles as well.

Creative at CES unveiled their new gaming headset, the SoundBlaster Tactic3D Omega wireless. This headset will be compatible with PCs, PS3s, Xbox 360s and Macs.

What’s cool about this headset is that it doesn’t require any extra connectors in order to be used with these systems. Creative claims the technology is already integrated into the headset, so this means a painless setup and much ease of use. The headset comes with a detachable mic and voice/game volume controls.

Omegawd! Cross platform!

Creative aren’t the first ones to come out with cross-platform gaming headsets, though. Astro, Tritton and turtle beach, among others, have been producing their headsets for a while now, but none of them are available in India and have to be imported here. On the other hand, since Creative products are widely available in the markets here, these headsets actually have a pretty decent chance of making it here.

We can’t wait to get our hands on and test these babies out. It’s priced at around Rs. 9,000 ($199) and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something about the Omega making it to our shores.

To no one's surprise, Apple iPhone 4 looks exactly like the one obtained by Gizmodo in mid-April. Today's announcement by Steve Jobs just confirms almost every feature you may find on the new phone. The iPhone 4 is slightly thinner yet contains a battery boosting better run time (7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of video and 10 hours WiFi browsing). The phone has an stainless steel border going around outside; the material doubles as an antenna.
Besides the cosmetic changes, the iPhone quattro receives both major and minor upgrades, including a new speedy Apple A4 processor; a much shaper screen (960 x 640; 326 ppi); a 720p HD video recorder; 802.11n; a front facing camera for video conferencing over WiFi; LED flash; and a second mic for noise cancellation. We would have to say they are mostly incremental improvements, and aren't close to revolutionary. We would have to say the real focus is on the iAds platform which is in fact the real cash cow since you virtually have unlimited amount of inventory if the apps sales continue to skyrocket.
As for pricing, Apple iPhone 4 32GB will retail for $299 and 16GB for $199. A cheaper $99 version of iPhone 3GS along with the other new models will again be available thru AT&T (USA) starting on June 24th. Other countries also receiving the iPhone 4 at the end of the month are France, Germany, Japan and UK. By July's end, the phone will hit these areas: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
