Nokia N8 Hits The Big Screen!

One of the great things about the Nokia N8 is its HDMI port, and the fact you can hook up high-definition TVs and view your media content on the big screen. With Nokia Big Screen – a new app from Nokia Beta Labs – things are set to get even better. Join us after the cut to find out why…

We’ve been impressed by nearly all of the apps we’ve seen from Nokia Beta Labs – the experimental app division of Nokia – and Big Screen doesn’t look like being an exception.

Nokia C7 Vs Nokia N8

It’s already possible to connect your Nokia N8 to your HDTV, but with Big Screen you’ll have a lot more control. Instead of just mirroring what’s on your smartphone screen, Big Screen lets you use your Nokia N8 as a full media player, letting you browse easily through all your photographs, with everything shown onscreen to pick from.

It’s also easier to watch movies or listen to your music with Nokia Big Screen, with an onscreen joystick displayed to let you flick around the menu, and you can even connect to external controllers to add an extra dimension of control wherever you are in the room.

MasterCard willing to cut off pirate sites

MasterCard, is willing to stop processing transactions from sites trafficking in pirated music, movies, games, and other digital copyrighted content.

Lobbyists working for MasterCard have told trade groups from the entertainment sector that the credit card company is supportive of The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, an antipiracy bill introduced into the Senate last September, sources with knowledge of the talks tell CNET.
Backed by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and committee member Sen. Orin Hatch (R-Utah), the bill would authorize the Department of Justice to shut down domain names of U.S.-based Web sites judged to be dealing in pirated content and also have the power to order Internet service providers, payment processors, and online ad networks in the United States to cease doing business with overseas pirates sites. Opponents of the law say it will give the government sweeping powers to censor U.S. citizens.
Representatives from MasterCard, Visa, and American Express did not respond to interview requests.
When asked for a comment about the ongoing talks between MasterCard and the entertainment sector, the music industry's trade group, the Recording Industry Association of America, issued a statement from Mitch Glazier, executive vice president of government and industry relations.
"MasterCard in particular deserves credit for its proactive approach to addressing rogue Web sites that dupe consumers," Glazier said. "They have reached out to us and others in the entertainment community to forge what we think will be a productive and effective partnership."
The antipiracy strategy of large Hollywood studios and music labels is evolving and is now less about filing lawsuits against site operators and individual file sharers. Big media companies now seem intent on cutting off sources of income for illegal file-sharing and streaming sites. Many of these operations make money by posting ads from U.S. ad networks, including Google. They also charge for "premium services" such as larger storage capacity.
One of the sites the entertainment industry says offers access to unauthorized copies of films is Megaupload. To obtain a membership to the site, one can pay with PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. There are certainly other ways for sites to accept payment than these and the entertainment industry knows this. They also know that many people are still leery of online transactions, even with stalwart payment methods.
The goal of the entertainment sector is to discourage as many people as possible from doing business with pirate sites.
To that end, the MPAA, RIAA, and other trade groups have pressured payment services, ad networks, and ISPs to do more piracy fighting. For some of these companies, Leahy's bill seems to have helped spur people into action.
Two weeks ago, Google announced it would improve antipiracy efforts, including a promise to do more to keep Web sites that provide infringing materials out of AdSense, the company's advertising program that pays Web sites for hosting ads.
In addition, the Interactive Advertising Bureau, the trade group representing 470 members that account for more than 86 percent of U.S. online advertising, says it also wants to work with the entertainment industry and lawmakers on cutting off pirates.

iPhone now fifth most popular in Japan

Here is a metric for skeptics who predicted the iPhone would fail in Japan: Apple's handset is now the fifth-best-selling smartphone in the country, with 12.2 percent of the market, according to IDC.
This is the first time Apple has cracked 10 percent in the Japanese market since the iPhone debuted there, so this is something of a milestone. More so when you consider that the company is now in spitting distance of incumbent Kyocera (12.7 percent) and not too far away from market leaders Sharp and Panasonic, which hold about 18.8 percent and 16.6 percent of the market, respectively.
And people said the iPhone would never be big in Japan....

Top 5 Google Android phones

Unless you are living in an eco-pod under the ground, chances are you have seen adverts about Blackberry and iPhone smartphones. Next up on the market is the Android which due to the current buzz and large amount of advertising you also probably recognize.
However, what you may not know is that Google Android mobiles are now storming the market given how many have hit the carriers over the last year. The following is a quick breakdown of Android smartphones to help you decide which cell phone is the best fit for you.
Motorola Droid 2- The Droid 2 has garnished positive critical ratings given that fact that it has a nice QWERTY keyboard that is easy to use with a reasonably long battery life. Although it does not have some of the nice perks and features found on other more expensive Android models such as HDMI out, noise cancellation, and HD video recording; if you want a simple but effective phone the Droid 2 is the perfect match. (On the other hand, if the extra features make the phone for you, check out the Droid Incredible or Droid X both of which are fully loaded with almost any feature you could dream of.)
htc »”>HTC Droid Eris- Named after the Motorola Droid, the Eris offers users a slim, simple mobile that does not come with the keyboard for those who prefer a compact mobile phone. Small does not mean empty however, as the Droid Eris still offers a full spectrum of Android features but due to the missing keyboard only costs a bargain $99 with a new or upgraded Verizon contract.
HTC Evo 4G- The EVO 4G is known for its quick processing speed as well as how many multimedia features and specs are jammed into the small, sleek mobile. Easily the best smartphone on the Sprint network, it also comes with the added ability to connect to 4G networks which will continue to spread across the country as time moves on.
Samsung Galaxy S- Packed with features, the Galaxy S is known for its large attractive screen. While the pre-packaged software in the mobile is pretty impressive, it is loaded with all of the top hardware and the brain and ease of use that Android mobiles are known for helping keep it on the top of the market.
Google Nexus One- Google has pretty much never produced a flop, which is why it should come as no surprise that the Nexus One is simply a beautiful and impressive mobile. Complete with great, fast performance without any handing and an amazing AMOLED screen that will bring tears to the true techno-geeks’ eyes, it also has some fun tweaks added into the standard Android OS given Google is the creator of the operating system. The only problem holding it back from market domination is a few issues between network carriers.

eBay buys mobile-app developer Critical Path

eBay said yesterday that it has bought Critical Path Software, a mobile-app developer that had already been working with the auction site for the past couple of years.
Helping to design several eBay mobile apps, Portland, Ore.-based Critical Path has partnered with eBay's mobile group to create eBay for the iPhone and eBay Classifieds. Critical Path and eBay also teamed up to develop StubHub, a ticket-buying app, and Shopping.com, a shopping comparison app.
The acquisition is part of eBay's move to focus even further on the growing mobile market. The auction site has also been busy scooping up other businesses this year. In June, eBay bought RedLaser, developer of an iPhone app that scans bar codes to compare products and prices. And earlier this month, it picked up Milo, a shopping service that tries to tie in online and offline shopping.
"We're very serious about innovating in mobile commerce, and this acquisition underscores our commitment to bringing the very best and brightest in the field to eBay," Mark Carges, chief technology officer and senior vice president of global products for eBay Marketplaces, said in a statement. "Integrating the Critical Path Software team into eBay will be a big win for mobile shoppers around the world."
The purchase price and other terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Dealing with LCD pixel anomalies in Apple displays

Liquid crystal displays (LCD) use a grid of definable points on a screen to display information. Used in many of Apple's products, including Cinema Displays, MacBooks and MacBook Pros, and the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, LCD screens can be subject to pixel anomalies. As Apple puts it:
Each pixel has three separate subpixels--red, green and blue--that allow an image to render in full color. Each subpixel has a corresponding transistor responsible for turning that subpixel on and off.
If any of these subpixels or transistors fails, it can result in a "dead" pixel on your display. Pixels generally number in the millions, depending on the size of your display. Apple's 27-inch iMac, for example, has a display resolution of 2,560x1,440, resulting in 3.7 million pixels.
Once you take into account the subpixels, you're talking about over 11 million elements involved in displaying images on your iMac.
Pixel anomalies can present themselves in several different ways. Occasionally, dust or other debris can appear to be a dead pixel on an LCD screen. Though Apple is generally one of the best quality-control companies out there, the sheer volume of displays the company produces can result in anomalies. According to Apple:
Foreign material is typically irregular in shape and is usually most noticeable when viewed against a white background. Foreign material that is on the front surface of the glass panel can be easily removed using a lint free cloth. Foreign material that is trapped within the screen must be removed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store.
(Credit: Apple)
Pixels that have actually failed may appear as either dark spots or bright spots, depending on what's wrong with them. Apple's pixel anomaly replacement policy was recently leaked, revealing how many anomalies need to appear on a display for Apple to consider replacing it.

Sony Ericsson shunts Yendo phone back until Feb. 2011

Arriving as the latest handset maker to delay a major product release, Sony Ericsson has today announced that its Yendo phone won’t be available until February of 2011.
Initially announced back in the summer of this year, the handset’s delayed arrival isn’t likely to upset many prospective buyers—not least because it’s fairly light where desirable features are concerned.
Citing an unnamed “Sony Ericsson exec”, technology site T3 reports that the Yendo has been shoved back on the calendar due to issues with the current version of the phone’s software.
Set to bolster Sony Ericsson’s existing line of Walkman phones, the Yendo is expected to come equipped with a modest 2.6-inch touchscreen, a 2.0 mega-pixel camera with digital zoom, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and media support via Touch TrackID, PlayNow and MediaGo.
For those keen on snagging a snazzy handset with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Yendo is also worryingly deficient, which is a shortfall reflected in the handset’s projected price of $100 USD.
Earlier this week, Nokia pushed its upcoming flagship E7 smartphone back from its December shipping date—apparently in order to hone its user interface ahead of an early 2011 release.

Google Phone Nexus S Finally Released By Samsung

By Matthew Lentini | Friday | 17/12/2010
The Samsung Nexus S, running on the latest version of the Google operating system, Android 2.3, has just been released in the US.
Google has delayed the public release of the open source software for Android 2.3, or ‘Gingerbread', until sometime after the Nexus S release.

The Google partnered mobile could see a release in Australia in early 2011.

"Samsung Electronics Australia is excited at the prospect of bringing the Nexus S to Australia. We are currently reviewing our options on how to bring this to market locally and look forward to sharing more details at a later stage," said a spokesperson for Samsung's Australian division.

Vodafone carried the Google Nexus One in Australia which suffered diminutive sales both locally and abroad, but the telecom is yet to confirm their partnership for the Nexus S.

Best Buy in the US currently retails the phone at around US$200 on a T-Mobile contract while Google has reported that the mobile will go for US$530 outright.

Consider a ‘Pay as you go’ phone

Mobiles phones are the best way to stay in touch with family and friends wherever you are. The global mobile phone market is massive and still growing with advances in the technology and choices increasing too.
When choosing a mobile phone it is not only the model and make the consumer has to consider. The option of Pay as you go or SIM free phone needs to be considered. Both of these options come with their own features and advantages. The one you choose depends upon your requirements and budget.
PAYG phones offer flexibility and ease of purchase and use. They can be bought cheaply and easily off the shelf from retailers all over the UK. They come fitted with a SIM for a specific network and often include financial benefits such as text and call bundles, call-time vouchers, cash back schemes or discount offers. These phones are excellent for students, young people and individuals who do not want the burden of a long term mobile phone contract. PAYG phones provide the consumer with a cost-effective and efficient option.
With a PAYG phone, talk time is purchased in advance and credited to your account removing the need for a monthly bill. Thereafter the user can top up their credit as and when they need it. This method of payment lets you control how much you are spending on talk time and avoids the pitfalls of running up large bills. PAYG is an excellent way keep in touch with your loved ones and contacts while staying in budget.
The PAYG and SIM free phones offer consumers a way to easily and economically use the mobile phone of their choice. However SIM free phones are very different. Mobile phones that are purchased SIM free can be used on any network.
The consumer can then choose their network of choice and purchase a SIM accordingly. Mobile phone retailers in the UK offer a wide range of SIM free mobile phones from brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung. A key advantage to this type of phone is that if a user changes location to a different country, their SIM can easily be changed for one using a local network. This avoids expensive international charges.
A mobile phone that is either SIM free or PAYG offers the consumer flexibility and choice. These phones free you from taking on the long term commitment of a contract. You can enjoy the freedom of having a mobile phone that suits your budget with out the worry of an expensive monthly bill.
You can choose from a wide variety of brands and models and in the case of a SIM free option, you can also choose your network. Both options offer flexibility and economy for consumers. The one you choose depends purely upon your personal needs and budget but you will find great advantages in both

Watchdog tackles confusion over phone call charges

by Clinton Manning, Daily Mirror
WATCHDOGS are seeking to clamp down on “rip-off” phone charges costing consumers almost £2billion a year.
Ofcom says there is widespread confusion about the cost of calling 03, 08, 09 numbers used by businesses, charities, government departments and TV shows such as X Factor.
And it says customers are often paying over the odds, leaving them “hundreds of millions of pounds” out of pocket each year.
Worse still, the high call charges hit poorer households hardest as many have ditched land lines in favour of pay-as-you-go mobiles, which often have the most expensive tariffs for calling these numbers.
The biggest change Ofcom proposes is making it free to call 0800 from all phones. At the moment it can cost up to 40p a minute for a 0800 call from mobiles.
Ofcom is also planning to axe 0870 numbers which have become particularly controversial and cap the amount inquiry services, such as 118118, can charge. At present, this ranges from a flat 30p fee up to £2 a minute.
Ofcom’s research showed users had little idea of the cost of calling “non geographic” numbers such as those starting 0845.
Advertisement - article continues below »

People polled guessed the cost of calling a premium 09 number at up to 70p a minute when the reality is up to £1.50, more than twice as much.
Ofcom wants to introduce a traffic light system to improve clarity.
Calls in each band would have an upper limit. It is also pressing mobile operators to charge a flat rate for non geographic numbers so callers can compare costs.
Ed Richards, chief executive of Ofcom, said: “There is clear evidence of widespread uncertainty about the cost of these numbers.
“Consumers need to have more transparency about the price they pay.”
Hannah Bullivant, of Consumer Focus, welcomed the “long overdue” attempt to simplify a “bewildering” range of numbers.
“It’s unfair that someone phoning a number that is free from a land line can pay up to 40p when calling by mobile,” she added.

Gigabyte GSmart Rola is a Dual-SIM smartphone with Froyo

Gigabyte is preparing to launch a dual-SIM smartphone running on Android v2.2 Froyo. It’s called GSmart Rola and it will launch on the bargain 175 euro in the beginning of 2011.
After the decent dual-SIM GSmart S1205 running on Windows Mobile 6.5, Gigabyte is ready to take their dual-SIM business over at the Android camp. The GSmart Rola runs Android v2.2 Froyo but packs barely decent specs – a 3.2-inch resistive WQVGA touchscreen, a 528MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 3 megapixel fixed-focus snapper and a microSD slot.

The Rola’s connectivity however has everything covered – Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM, 3G with HSDPA support, GPS (with aGPS support and digital compass), Bluetooth and even FM radio. We suppose the 3G would be available only on one of the SIMs though.

Powerful dual-core LG Star previewed ahead of launch

The rumored LG Star droid equipped with a promising dual-core CPU hasn’t been made official yet but it’s just been reviewed and liked. The Tegra2-based smartphone specs turned out great not only on paper: the thing sure is pretty powerful too.
LG Star previewed ahead of launch • image source
But you already knew that from the previous leaks involving the LG P990 Star. Speaking of the LG Star features, most of them are no longer a mystery: the thin device has a Tegra2 processor (benchmark test caught on one of the videos below), packs an 8 megapixel sharpshooter with 1080p Full HD video recording and an HDMI port.

Up until now it was unclear how large the large-looking display is but thanks to that preview we now have the answer: the LG Star screen measures some healthy 4 inches and is of 800-by-480-pixel resolution. By the way, while the blacks aren’t AMOLED deep its viewing angles seem pretty good.

As seen before, the LG P990 Star is running Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo, but Gingerbread (Android 2.3) should come on board right on time for launch. The Android smartphone is expected to be announced at the next year’s CES, which is due in less than a month.

Google Nexus S up for pre-order in the UK, will set you back £550

Brits can now pre-order the sophomore Google smartphone - the Google Nexus S. It will be the first ever phone to run Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Google has its eye on the future with this one with NFC built-in and a unique curved display.
The Google Nexus S starts off with an excellent technology base (the Samsung Galaxy S) and builds on top of that - the specs sound great on paper and it got positive nods in early previews.
But all that gadget power is sure heavy on the wallet - UK’s Carphone Warehouse offers a SIM-free Nexus S for £550 (€657, $870). Of course, you have the option to get it for free on a two-year contract for £35-a-month.
The Google Nexus S should ship by the end of December (the initial estimate was December 20) and it's available for all major UK operators with plenty of plans to choose from. The only little perk is that it's exclusively sold by Carphone Warehouse.
Still, the price seems a bit steep - as a comparison the Samsung Galaxy S costs £415 SIM-free and is very close feature-wise to the Nexus S. Samsung is still undecided on whether the Galaxy S will get a Gingerbread update but at least it has a proper microSD card slot and HD video recording, which the Nexus S strangely lacks.

Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone benchmarked on video

The long rumored PlayStation Phone (or should we call it Zeus) just can't stay away from the news. This time it got benchmarked with the Qualcomm's Neocore, but it scores far less than the Google Nexus S.
The whole benchmark process was shot in a brief video. Here it is:

The Sony Ericsson gadget managed to score 24.4 fps on average. It doesn't look bad, but the recently announced Nexus S did 55.6 fps on the same benchmark.
Sony Ericsson PlayStation phone is still in the rumorland and it was not announced yesterday as it was supposed to. The benchmark score here can't be objective, since it's done on a prototype of an unannounced phone, with hardware and software nowhere near their final version.

O2 UK's Dell Streaks will be getting Froyo this week

O2 UK is wrapping up a gift for Dell Streak owners - an update to Android 2.2 Froyo. The Streak, which launched in June running 1.6 Donut, has made the jump to 2.1 Eclair and now, it's getting ready for another update.
Unlocked Dell Streak tablet/phones have been running Froyo for almost a month now, but carrier-branded devices had to wait till December. And while munching on frozen treats are probably not the best you could do in the cold weather, we're sure Streak owners will enjoy Froyo and that new Stage UI that comes with it.
If you've missed it, the previous 2.1 Eclair update has added 720p video recording to the Dell Streak and it also brings compatibility for many apps, improved keyboard, pinch zooming and live wallpapers.
Anyway, the Froyo update for the Streak should come out this week and it will give apps a performance boost and enable Flash in the browser as well.

LG Star called Optimus 2X, may be getting to Europe too

http://phandroid.com/2010/12/13/lg-star-su660-to-be-optimus-2x-in-korea-more-videos-uncovered/South Koreans just got their version of the LG Star officially announced. Dubbed LG SU660 Optimus 2X, the smartphone made its first official appearance on the Asian shores, but the even better news is that its worldwide availability is fast approaching.


Unfortunately LG kept their tradition and revealed next to none of the new handsets's specifications (not to mention the lack of an official photo). Good thing a preview surfaced the other day and did the job for them.

We did stumble upon a new video though, which showcases the Optimus 2X computing prowess. In case you’ve been wondering how much of an improvement the dual-core Tegra is over the current best CPUs, you should definitely check it out. The Hummingbird-powered Galaxy S gets a trashing it won’t be forgetting anytime soon. While one synthetic benchmark is not necessary too meaningful for the real-life performance, the SU660 Optimus 2X certainly possesses impressive computing skills.
LG had a pretty quiet 2010, but could it produce the smartphone to get in 2011? The good news is that LG Benelux has got itself a new domain - the LGOptimus2X.nl, so an European announcement might not be too far away.

Skype for Android updated, becomes Galaxy S compatible

The Android version of the popular Skype app was first launched only a couple of months ago and now we can welcome its first major update which makes Skype for Android fully compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S devices out there and allows you to store the app on the device's SD card.


The recently updated Skype app for Android-powered devices brings along only two improvements but those are definitely worth mentioning. First off, if your smartphone or tablet is based on the Froyo, you'll be able to store the app on your microSD memory card.

As for the other novelty brought by the refreshed Skype app, the version released back on 5 October had some issues with Samsung Galaxy S smartphones but those should now be done with.

Oh, of course, there is a tiny little catch: the latest version of the Android-loving Skype will only be compatible with your Galaxy S if it's running the Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo (or higher).

To get the new Skype app up and running on your device, just visit skype.com/m using its web browser or check the Android Market.

Vodafone UK puts a spell on HTC Magic, updates it to Froyo

Continued support from manufacturers for old Android devices has been a hot topic lately. So HTC is bound to win some good karma - they are updating Vodafone UK's HTC Magic droids with Froyo, not so long after the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and 3G Slide started getting their updates.


The HTC Magic was one of the first Android phones and getting updated to Android 2.2.1 Froyo is a big deal as Android has come a long way since 1.5 Donut - new and improved Gmail and Market apps, installing apps on the microSD card, tethering support and enhanced Bluetooth and camera UI.

The HTC Magic will also get a speed improvement and wider support for some of the coolest apps in the Market (which require Android 2.0+). Don't bet on the other big selling point of Froyo though - the Flash 10.1 plug-in requires a newer CPU than the Magic has to offer.

Anyway, Vodafone UK is beginning a staged rollout of the update and users should get a notification in the coming weeks. Once you get the notification, you can update immediately or put it off for later - it's a big download so you might want to wait until you're in range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.

We hope that updates for old phones become commonplace - though not all manufacturers are very enthusiastic about it. The idea that you have to buy a new phone just to get a few software updates is certainly putting off some potential Android buyers.
