Samsung Wave 723: An Amazing Mobile

September 13th, 2010

Samsung has offered a number of spectacular mobiles in the market since they entered the industry. In fact they are already considered as one of the leading mobile manufacturers around the world.

The Samsung Wave 723 is yet another impressive Smartphone from Samsung that features the Bada operating system. The look and design of this mobile is considerably stunning as well. Now, let us talk more about this exciting offering.

The Appearance

At first glance it is noticeable that the Samsung Wave 723 has a resemblance to the Samsung Star. It is primarily because both of them have a leather flap located in the front of the mobile to protect the screen. However, its metallic body makes it distinct from the Samsung Star.

The capacitive touch screen measures 3.2 inches that offers a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. It is compatible with 256k colours making the display more vibrant thus enhancing the viewing experience.

The colour scheme of the Samsung Wave 723 is plain black. It projects simplicity in design but at the same time exudes elegant look as well. It is perfect for those who like a simple yet fully functional mobile.

Functionality

This handset is compatible with both 2G and 3G networks, so Samsung Wave 723 contracts should be available for both. In terms of data connectivity, it offers GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, and Wi-Fi of course. It is fair to say that this mobile is very reliable when it comes to internet browsing as it offers faster speeds as well.

It also sports a 5MP camera perfect for those who love taking pictures. There are some added features to enhance the picture quality like auto focus and smile detection. An LED flash is present to help capture beautiful photos even with minimal lighting. Video recording is available as an alternative to capture special occasions or events.

Flash Available but No Devices are Compatible

It seems that in all of Adobe’s excitement in releasing the new mobile version of the Flash Player, they have forgotten that there is only one smart phone that makes use of the new feature –and as it is, the number of Google Nexus One owners is just a very small fraction of the Android community.

Still, it is a big step for the web format developer in their quest to show critics and the market that Flash is still a widely used web format. And they are right. While Adobe also recognizes the need for HTML5 development and they also support the new media (Adobe has confirmed that they are currently working on HTML5 development software), Flash is still a well accepted medium.

Anyway, the launch of the Flash Player 10.1 is still big news. So far, none of the existing mobile phones are compatible with it simply because Google’s launch of Android 2.2 Froyo is still not applicable for a vast majority of Android devices.

And that is an issue that Google needs to fix as soon as possible. While it has been confirmed that the HTC Desire will be getting a 2.2 update in the next few days, there are plenty of other impressive Android handsets that have yet to taste the power and versatility of the new Android version.

According to the original announcements, Android 2.2 features a whole host of new features such as tethering and support for turning a handset into a WiFi router. Froyo also improves existing Android performance by boosting the performance speed up to two times faster and the browsing speed up to three times faster.

Naturally, the new Flash Player support is considered to be the main attraction of the new OS, and once it is available for other smart phones; many mobile users will be able to enjoy Flash content on the go.

Will the World Prosecute Google?

May 24th, 2010

Google is the largest and fastest search engine in the world. Since the rise of Google to success, the company has expanded to include more and more services ranging from Gmail, Google Docs, Maps, Street View, Translate and more.

In their efforts to bring in more services and features, there have been times when people witnessed that the company can become a little too eager –such as the case with Google Buzz where the hasty implementation of the social networking feature and the haphazard way it was tied up to existing Gmail accounts caused many to wonder if the company is losing its touch.

Recently, the Google Street Car became a familiar sight in the UK and many neighboring countries as Google pursued its Street View service implementation. The service provided users with a 360 degree view of all the major streets in the major cities of the world. This data, when combined with GPS technology, provided a unique navigational tool that was very useful for its use of actual images and also provided people with a way to visit distant cities from the comfort of their computers –small business also benefited from the extended exposure of their stores as well.

However, not all has been good. While the street car was taking images, it was also running a program that Google had already scrapped –the mapping of WiFi networks. The street car had been making a log of unsecured WiFi networks and has also managed to capture bits of data. Google CEO Eric Schmidt has already admitted to the problem and has stated that Google is doing everything in its power to delete the 600 GB of information.

Various countries such as Germany and Spain are already investing the data on Google. UK and Ireland on the other hand, have accepted Google’s decision to destroy the data –the action was monitored by a third party to ensure the accuracy of reports.
