Challenge Apple, RIM CEO Says 'Web' No Need Application

Competition in the market will increasingly competitive computer tablet after Research In Motion or RIM BlackBerry signed with Playbook. This device is a lot mentioned will be a tight competitor Apple iPad.

RIM CEO Jim Balsillie even dare to challenge Apple despite the number of applications that can work on such devices would be far less than the IPAD is a single platform with the iPhone and iPod Touch. In the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, U.S., RIM's CEO boasted.

According to him, BlackBerry Playbook will be the best device to access all web services that do not depend on whether or not the application. In fact, he claims these devices can access the site three to four times more than the iPad. He acknowledged, applications still play a major role today. However, according to web-based services remain the best way to present information on mobile devices.

"You do not need to use software development kit. This is the core message that we emphasize. You can use an existing development environment," said Balsillie, the Telegraph quoted the site, on Wednesday (17/11/2010). He said that content creators do not bother to have to make a special version to be accessible to consumers.

As rumored, the war of words between Apple and RIM officials began to heat up since the BlackBerry Playbook announced. Previously, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also boasted that the iPhone OS-based device sales surpassed sales of BlackBerry in the last quarter and declare that RIM will not be chasing Apple. The statement was rebutted by Balsillie back arguing that Apple used different reporting period with the report that is used by RIM.

Chip to Face Malware

Intel Corporation, a leading computer chip manufacturers from the United States plans to add security features to mobile devices a computer chip that will be planted directly in the production of their chips. this is done in response to the increasing threat of malware and cyber attacks that exist today, except that the addition of this feature is also a tactic to joining Intel Corporation in the smartphone market.

In this case, Intel is working through MacAfee, a computer security company that has bought Intel in 2010 and then to develop security management features embedded in the hardware and gadgets will work when connected to a remote server or cloud servers by providing protection up-to-date as detection and blocking malware, user authentication and IP address (Internet Protocol) it.

According to Dave DeWalt, McAfee president at this time there are more than 8 million types of malware in circulation, most commonly stored in the software.

Nokia E5 review

With the mobile phone arena is dominated by various iterations touch screen mobile phone, it will be difficult to understand why there is still a huge market for a QWERTY phone communicator. But Nokia has a long history of turning out quality phone that serves their specific audiences. E71 can be seen as a flagship QWERTY device Nokia communicator, and improved with the launch of E72, but the latest addition to the family QWERTY Nokia comes with the announcement of these E5.

Nokia E5 combines all the business-oriented features that candy bar phone with full keyboard, along with the integration of consumer services such as support for social networking and mobile Internet browsing capabilities. It is also a welcome addition to the factors form a compact but useful, with keyboard buttons that just the right size to press the issue extended text or email with your thumb in a matter of seconds.

iPhone 4: Is Glass-Gate the Next Antenna-Gate for Apple's iPhone 4?

Just when all the hysteria began to subside from the iPhone Antenna-gate 4 has other problems. Apple has admitted that they seek to claim that the slide case for iPhone scratches 4 really damaging the rear glass and the iPhone. It is interesting that has taken this long for problems to surface, because 4 is the iPhone has been out for several months.

When the iPhone first 4 out everyone liked it except for one big, glaring problem. problem that many people dropped the call. Without a clear explanation and the full signal can not be connected. The roots eventually pointed to the stainless steel antenna, and "Antenna-gate" was born. When the antenna is enclosed in the lower left corner 4 iPhone could actually lose the signal. Steve Jobs should hold a press conference to defend the iPhone design 4 and also tells consumers how to "fix" the problem. First he simply suggested holding the device so as not to short the antenna with your fingers or palm. This recommendation does not go well with the customers so that the second solution is bumper to go around the phone. The bumper is allowed for the necessary space between the hand and the antenna and improve the decrease in connectivity. Apple continues to offer free bumper or the case for all who bought 4 iPhones prior to September 30, 2010.

When the iPhone was released four more people remember that there is no choice of the cases are available. The bumper is the only accessory in addition to pop off the cover phone. Now, the market is flooded with various types of covers are available for purchase. The time needed for new slide in the cases to reach the market could be the cause for the late breaking news. The "ultra-heavy" Gorilla glass is on the back of four iPhone very easily scratched. In fact, a recent survey by the Cult of Mac showed that three-quarters of respondents with a slide case to report fourth iPhone glass scratches and cracks. Only one fourth of those who say that they do not have a problem with using a slide on the case.

It remains to be seen whether the new disability for 4 iPhone will be as big a problem as an antenna-gate, even though I'm not the first to use the term "Glass-gate". People are usually more forgiving of cosmetic defects of one who destroyed the usability of the phone. However, this phone does not meet the ridiculously high expectations of people for it. By using standard devices with the cases recommended by Apple, it is being damaged. In addition, Apple has set back the release date for some 4 times the white iPhone. Glass scratches and cracks can be the real reason they have a "manufacturing problem?" In any case, Apple will address and fix this problem if they stay on top of the game smart phone.

Clone of the Foursquare Present in China

Having previously offered microblogging services like Twitter, Sina, which is the largest portal in China, now presents a similar Foursquare Geolocation based services for the netter in the country in China.

WeiLingDi, thus the name "Foursquare" The Chinese version, now available on iPhone, Android phone and can be accessed on Nokia phones based on Symbian.

"The service is connected to the GyPSii website, and application developers WeiLingDi Geolocation feature that to be our partner. Both Sina GyPSii and operational support services WeiLingDi and share revenues generated by this site," the spokesman was quoted as saying Sina me from Information Week, Wednesday (9 / 3 / 2011).

Sina also integrate WeiLingDi with 'Twitter' creation, Weibo. Prepared to produce many benefits, Sina also added features 'Star News' on this service. Its function, allowing users to 'stalking' 60 thousand Chinese celebrities wherever they go. This is what will then be utilized Sina as a marketing tool and advertising.

No wonder if Sina increasingly promote advertising for revenue in 2010 based on its announced last week, carrying most of its revenue comes from online advertising, mobile value-added services, and search services.

Sina Net revenue rose 12 percent from year to year, last year achieved USD 110 million. Meanwhile, advertising revenues grew 30 percent over the previous year, reaching USD 82.5 million. But for non-advertising revenues from the source, Sina was not too lucky because 21 percent decline, falling to USD 27.5 million.

Sina operates many services in its network that is the news portal Sina.com, Sina Mobile, Web 2.0-based services and games Sina Community, Sina.net enterprise search services, and online shopping network Sina e-commerce.

Earthquake and Tsunami disaster at Japan

The whole team nokiaunplug.blogspot.com say condolences over the earthquake disaster and tsunami that occurred in Japan. May the bereaved patient and steadfast.

Tsunami and earthquake although not the first in Japan, but the greatest. Do not be discouraged. Rise up.

God bless you

--------------------------------------------------------

The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake was followed by at least 19 aftershocks, most of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Dozens of cities and villages along the 1,300-mile stretch of the country’s eastern shore were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles from the epicenter in the sea off the northeastern coast.

A tsunami warning was issued for the entire Pacific, including areas as far away as South America, the entire U.S. West Coast, Canada and Alaska. Kyodo news agency said 15 people were killed. The government confirmed only five deaths.

The earthquake has caused major damage in broad areas in northern Japan,” Prime Minister Naoto Kan said at a news conference.

Even for a country used to earthquakes, this one was of horrific proportions. Large fishing boats and other sea vessels rode high waves into the cities, slamming against overpasses. Upturned and partially submerged vehicles were seen bobbing in the water.

Waves of muddy waters swept over farmland near the city of Sendai, carrying buildings, some on fire, inland as cars attempted to drive away. Sendai airport, north of Tokyo, was inundated with cars, trucks, buses and thick mud deposited over its runways. Fires spread through a section of the city, public broadcaster NHK reported.

A large fire erupted at the Cosmo oil refinery in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo and was burning out of control with 100-foot-high flames whipping into the sky.
NHK showed footage of a large ship being swept away and ramming directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 2:46 p.m. quake was a magnitude 8.9, the biggest earthquake to hit Japan since officials began keeping records in the late 1800s, according to NHK.

A tsunami warning was extended to a number of Pacific, Southeast Asian and Latin American nations, including Japan, Russia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Chile. In the Philippines, authorities said they expect a 3-foot high tsunami.

The quake struck at a depth of six miles, about 80 miles off the eastern coast, the agency said. The area is 240 miles northeast of Tokyo.

In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo. The tremor bent the upper tip of the iconic Tokyo Tower, a 333-meter steel structure inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Several nuclear plants along the coast were partially shut down, but there were no reports of any radioactive leakage.

In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms. NHK said more than 4 million buildings were without power in Tokyo and its suburbs.

A large numbers of people waited at Tokyo’s Shinjuku station, the world’s busiest train station, for service to resume so they could go home. TV announcers urged workers not to leave their offices to prevent injuries in case of more strong aftershocks.

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday. Dozens of fires were reported in northern prefectures of Fukushima, Sendai, Iwate and Ibaraki. Collapsed homes and landslides were also reported in Miyagi.

Japan’s worst previous quake was in 1923 in Kanto, an 8.3-magnitude temblor that killed 143,000 people, according to USGS. A 7.2-magnitude quake in Kobe city in 1996 killed 6,400 people.

Nokia N9 Use OS MeeGo & Processors Intel Atom?

Minor Update Nokia Presents 3 Free Games

Nah, yang paling menarik, update minor ini membawa tiga game gratis. Mereka adalah: Need for Speed Shift, Real Golf, dan Galaxy on Fire.

Selain menghadirkan update tersebut, Nokia juga memperbaiki beberapa bug agar ketiga ponsel tersebut bisa berjalan lebih mulus.

N8 Camera Test Outside

good light

Let's start right at the 'easy' end - a photo of a brightly coloured scene in mid morning sunlight. Click the photo below to enlarge it or to download the full 12 megapixel original:



It's an unambitious photo, but still worth analysing. The N8, unsurprisingly, nails this photo perfectly, from the light and shade to the details and colours, even to the colour of the sky.

One thing that intrigued many people, including me, was whether the photo quality would suffer at all in the move to 12mp from the 8mp in the N86. Given identical lens and sensor sizes, I'd say that was likely, but the N8's sensor is 30% or so bigger than that in the N86, which should nicely compensate for the increase in megapixels - and keep the pixel density similar.

To check results, in line with my chosen detail-centric methodology(!), I took the same scene on the N86 and then blew up a central detail (the side of the truck) by a factor of about 10, so that we can see differences with the naked eye:



The N86's version is on the left, the N8's on the right. Aside from the differences in scale and angle, look at the extra consistency and detail in the N8 image: the sunken bolts to the left of the guard on the left side of the crop show the difference most clearly - on the N86 version, they're almost smudges - on the N8 version, you can make out exactly what they are. In addition, look at the mirror-ball hemispherical trim on the right - the N86 version is over-gaudy and way over-sharpened, while the N8 version shows the trim more or less as the naked eye sees it, up close.

In short, very impressive. Remember that I'm not just comparing the N8's stills camera to any old 5 megapixel HTC or budget Nokia unit - I just compared its results to the previous imaging pinnacle in the Symbian world - and the N8 bested it with ease.

Let's take something more challenging - same light conditions, but wide range in subject distance and masses of greenery - traditionally a big failing of Nokia's JPG encoding algorithms. Here's the raw photo from the N8 - again, click to enlarge or download:



Let's pick out a detail that's interesting - say, the ducks standing on the beam. As with the example above, I took the same scene on the N86 and then blew up this detail (the left hand duck), so that we can see differences more easily:



Again, the N86's version is on the left, the N8's on the right. Aside from the differences in scale and angle, the N86's edge enhancement is very evident - almost every camera in every phone does this, to create images which look like they have more detail than is actually there in real life. The N8 photo, on the other hand, shows no sharpening at all. At first glance the N8 version looks worse as a result, but look again and you should be able to appreciate that you're seeing the detail that's actually there rather than what has been put in camera algorithms.

And again I'll emphasise both that I'm using extreme blow-ups here to make my point and that the N86 was previously top dog in the Symbian camera phone world, not some no-hoper drafted in to make the N8 look good.

Talking of extreme close-ups, let's zoom in on a smaller detail in the image - the bench beyond the pond - this is a tiny portion of the photo and will expose the raw pixels:



The difference in detail between the N86 image (admittedly this device has a wider angle lens than the N8, but even so.....) and the N8 image is striking. On the left, you can just about make out that the object is a bench. On the right, you can clearly see the individual slats that make up the bench's back.

Nokia C6

Nokia C6. Today Nokia introduced the Nokia C6, a mid-range touchscreen smartphone, with a slide out QWERTY keyboard and comprehensive social messaging software suite. The C6 runs Symbian^1 (but with pervasive kinetic scrolling and widget homescreen, N97-style) and features a 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS and comprehensive connectivity options. It ships with a full range of Ovi services, including Ovi Maps (free car and pedestrian navigation), Ovi Store (content downloads), Ovi Music (music store), and Nokia Messaging (email and instant messaging). The Nokia C6 will be available later this quarter at a price of EUR 220 before taxes and subsidies. Read on for more.

At first glance, the design of the C6 outwardly resembles the popular Nokia 5800 in shape and size (113.4 x 53 x 16.8 mm [80cc] versus 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm [83 cc] for the 5800). However, the horizontal slider form factor, which adds a full QWERTY keyboard and accompanying D-pad, and weight (150g versus 109g) puts the phone firmly into the hybrid category and demonstrates there has been a significant reworking of the internal design.

The software running on the phone is in line with the Nokia N97 and N97 mini. It features the same WRT-widget based homescreen, kinetic scrolling and full range of Ovi services. In common with the E5, also announced today, Nokia are emphasising the social messaging capabilities of the phone, with Nokia Messaging handling a comprehensive range of email accounts, with various on-board tools for interacting with social networks and with Ovi Store giving access to a range of IM applications.

At €220, the C6 offers excellent value for money. The price can be compared to the Nokia 5800's launch price of €279 and the N97 mini's launch price of €450. It should have a SIM-free UK street price of approximately £220, or subsidised on Pay As You Go from about £150 and free on £20/month contracts.

Preview of new Ovi Store client for the Nokia N8

During its N8 developer event, which took place in London yesterday, Nokia demonstrated some of the key features of their upcoming Symbian^3 handset. This included, for the first time on a real device, a preview of the new Ovi Store client. The new Ovi Store client is written in Qt, which offers a significant performance improvement over earlier WRT-based incarnations, and has been redesigned to make it more attractive and easier to use. Read on for some exclusive images and preview comments.

The version I saw running on the N8 was described as a preview, aimed at giving developers an idea of what the new Ovi Store client would look like. As such, it was not the finished article and, like the rest of the N8's software, is a work in progress. The new client will ship with the N8 when it launches later this quarter.

The most obvious change in the client is the thorough overhaul of the design, which has been lightened and simplified, with flatter and more consistent navigation. It benefits greatly from Symbian^3's single tap 'paradigm', which makes the client slicker and more intuitive in use.

In terms of pure functionality, there are no major changes, although the new client will be the building block for the introduction of features such as application updates, subscription and in-application billing, which will arrive in due course.

When you first open up the client, you see the same recommended list of content as before. There are now six items on the screen at any one time, up from five, and a reorganised navigation bar at the top of the screen: Ovi Store (home), Categories (browse by content type), Search, and Account (account details). At the bottom, the left softkey is labelled 'Store menu' (replacing Options), which pops up an overlay menu window (see below), one of Symbian^3's standard UI widgets. The right softkey is used for navigation 'Back' where applicable.

On the home page of the store, beneath the recommended content list, there are links to each of the content sections, which should encourage novice users to browse the store for additional content, rather than solely sticking to recommended lists. It is also notable that Nokia has made an obvious distinction between the labelling of free content (green box) and paid content (price listed).

In the current client, the various types of content in the Ovi Store are accessed via the carousel tabs along the top of the screen. The new client switches to a listing approach, which is more consistent and intuitive. Again, this should encourage casual browsing of the Ovi Store.

In another logical move, 'Channels' (curated sets of content), previously hidden away under an Options menu, have been renamed 'Collections' and placed below the category (types) list.

Tapping on one the content types opens a category list, which is headed by a 'See all Applications' link. Each of these opens up the relevant list of content. Compared to the previous client, this make categories (Business, City Guides, Entertainment, Music...) much more prominent. Previously, categories were little used as they could only be accessed via the Options menu. This should help improve discovery in the store as it will be easier for users to get to listings of specific content areas.

Opening up a specific category brings up the familiar content list, headed by sorting links (top free, best sellers, new).

The individual content item screen has been redesigned, with a more prominent download link, shortened descriptions (full description available via expanding link), expanding reviews section and a re-arranged screenshot area.

Navigation around the store is aided by the 'Store menu', which replaces the 'Options' on the left softkey. It's accessible, instantly, from anywhere within the Ovi Store client and offers links to the 'Store home' (home page), 'Categories', 'Search', 'Account', 'Help' and 'Exit Ovi Store'.

As we mentioned in the introduction, we were told that the new Ovi Store client is written in Qt. This should make it easier for Nokia to develop and add new features to the client, but the biggest improvement is in performance. There's a definite increase in overall speed, but it also gets round the limitations imposed by the WRT environment (e.g. sometimes not recognising screen taps and rendering bottlenecks). Moreover, it should make it easier for Nokia to implement new Ovi Store features, which may require deeper integration with the phone than would have been possible in WRT. It's also a good illustration of Nokia's firm commitment to Qt.

Incidentally, WRT performances issues should largely go away with the next release of the browser and accompanying WRT engine (both based on QtWebKit). However, the new version is not expected to be available before the N8 is launched.

It's not really possible to draw any definite conclusions about the impact of the new client at this point in time. However, based on what we saw, both in terms of the redesign and performance and usability improvements given by Qt, we would expect the new Ovi Store client to significantly increase download and usage rates.
