How To Speed Up Your Mobile Web Surfing

No matter what type of mobile device you have, there's a fairly simple step you can take that will have a noticeable effect on how quickly web pages load -- at least for some people. All you have to do is change the DNS server your web browser is using.

This only takes a moment, and can decrease the time it takes many devices to start loading all web pages.

What's a DNS Server?

Please forgive me if the explanation for what's going on here is a touch technical. If you don't care, or don't need an update from Internet 101, then skip down to the "What to Do" section below.

You may be accustomed to nice friendly URLs for your web sites, but computers don't think that way. Whenever you put a URL into your web browser (www.brighthand.com, for example) the browser first goes out to a DNS server (Domain Name Server). This translates the people-friendly URL into a computer-friendly IP address, something like 63.84.188.135. This IP address is what your browser uses to find the web site you want.

Whatever Internet Service Provider (ISP) you're using assigns you a DNS server. Problem is, these servers are often slow because they are over-loaded. If you request a web page and your browser pauses for a long time before it begins loading it, the problem is often caused by a slow DNS server. Switching to a faster one will eliminate most of this delay.

Before I go into how to change which DNS server you're using, I want to give a couple of caveats. First, not everyone has a slow DNS server. If you're currently using a fast one and switch to another fast one, you won't see any change.

Also, this can only speed up one part of the page loading process. After your browser has the IP address it needs, then the DNS server's involvement is over. How quickly files are downloaded to your browser after that depends on other factors, like how fast a wireless connection you have.

Still, if you're currently using an over-loaded DNS server, changing to a fast one can speed up the process of opening every web page by several seconds, something most people would welcome.

What To Do

Of course, the process for changing your DNS server depends on what type of device you are using. That's why I've broken the instructions up into sections.

Before I start, though, there's something I need to tell everyone who is going to try this, no matter what model you're using. If during this process you discover that your device already has the addresses for its primary and secondary DNS servers set, then you're definitely going to need to carefully write these down. If you change to different DNS servers and find that your web browsing is slower, then your going to want to change back. To do that, you'll need the server addresses you started with.

OK, on with the step-by-step instructions.

Pocket PC

1. No matter what application you're in, open the Start Menu and select Settings.
2. At the bottom of the resulting screen will be a tab labeled "Connections." Select it.
3. Tap on the Connections icon near the top of the screen.
4. Select the link labeled "Manage existing connections."
5. You'll see a list of possible connection methods. (For many people there'll only be one.) Select whichever of these is your primary connection, then tap on the "Edit..." button near the bottom of the page.
6. Starting on the next page, hit the Next button twice.
7. You should be on a page with a button labeled "Advanced." Tap on it.
8. At the bottom of the resulting screen will be a tab labeled "Servers." Select it.
9. Hit the radio button for "Use specific server addresses."
10. Below that will be text boxes where you can enter the addresses you want to use. Change DNS to "4.2.2.1" and change Alt DNS to "4.2.2.2"
11. Click OK and then hit the Finish button.

Windows Mobile Smartphone

1. While on the Today Screen, select the Start Menu.
2. Choose Settings on the resulting screen.
3. Choose Connections from the list of options
4. Now select GPRS
5. Pick your GPRS connection from the resulting list of connections.
6. Scroll down this screen until you come to "Primary DNS," then enter "4.2.2.1"
7. For Secondary DNS, enter "4.2.2.2"
8. Press the Done button at the bottom of the screen, then hit the red Phone button to return to the Today Screen.

Palm OS

1. While in the application launcher, find the Prefs application and open it.
2. Choose the Network option.
3. From the drop-down list of Services, pick your GPRS connection.
4. Tap on the "Details..." button at the bottom of the screen.
5. There probably be a checkmark next to "Query DNS." Uncheck this.
6. For "Primary DNS," enter "4.2.2.1"
7. For Secondary DNS, enter "4.2.2.2"
8. Hit the OK button, then the Done button.

Now go and test to see if web pages start to load any faster. They should, if you've previously been using a slow DNS server.

If you don't notice any change, there's no reason why you should go though the process of changing your primary and secondary DNS servers back.

If web browsing is actually slower, though, you can undo this process very easily.

If you already had specific DNS servers before you started this process, simply use those.

If you didn't and you have a Pocket PC, go back to where you selected "Use specific server addresses" and switch to "Use server-assigned addresses."

To reverse this process on a WM Smartphone, just erase the DNS server addresses you entered.

On a Palm, put the checkmark back next to "Query DNS."

Benefits from Mobile VoIP Phoenix AZ

Although VoIP can benefit just about anyone, its rewards are particularly great for mobile phone users. That's partly because using VoIP to call overseas can help them avoid cellular carriers' exorbitant international rates. But it's also because the technology can save time and make calling more convenient. Various applications of VoIP technology to mobile communication can in fact bring users many benefits they may not have expected. Here are 12 ways to get such benefits.

1. Converge your fixed and mobile communications. Trivial as it may seem, having both your desk and mobile phone numbers on your business card can be enormously wasteful. It means people who don't know where you are may try your mobile number first, to avoid having to make two calls and leave two messages. And if you're actually at your desk, that needlessly boosts your cellular bill. Basic FMC (fixed-mobile convergence) makes it possible for incoming calls to your business number to ring both your office and mobile phones, as well as any other phones you specify, at the same time or in sequence. Most IP phone systems offer some such capabilities. Check to see how easily the one you plan to use lets you transfer calls from one phone to another.

2. Unify your communications to gain mobile access to your corporate system. Taking a big step beyond sharing calls between desk and mobile phones, UC (unified communications) lets you make use of business phone systems' functions and features via a mobile handset. You can access corporate directory information from your smartphone, for example, as well as detect users' presence and availability. That saves you lots of time finding who you want to call. You can also IM (instant message) colleagues, even if they're away from their desks. And you can access your voice mail via a PC or mobile email. UC requires downloaded client software, so make sure it works with your handset. Avaya Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are leading the charge to deliver UC to companies.

3. Use Web-activated mobile VoIP. The advantage of setting up VoIP calls through a Web interface is that it doesn't matter what kind of phone you're calling from. Just go to the specified Web site and enter the number you want to call from and the one you're trying to reach. The service calls both numbers from nearby exchanges and connects the two calls via cheap long-distance circuits. You can in some cases even set up the calls through your mobile Web browser, an approach that also falls into the following category of handset-activated mobile VoIP. A slew of VoIP companies offer Web-activated mobile VoIP, including JAJAH Inc., jaxtr Inc., MOBIVOX, Raketu and Voxofon LLC.

4. Use handset-activated mobile VoIP. The main advantage of setting up VoIP calls through your mobile handset is the flexibility it provides. But since it often requires a download of client software to the device, it means you have to have the right kind of mobile phone.

There are several ways of initiating calls. The software may direct the handset to dial a local access number of the VoIP service. Or it may instruct the service to call the handset. EQO Communications Inc., 8x8 Inc., Raketu, iSkoot Inc. (which uses Skype to deliver the calls) and Truphone are among the companies offering handset-activated VoIP calling.

One approach that doesn't require client software involves services that assign you local numbers corresponding to specific overseas numbers you want to call. In such cases, all you need do is put that number in your mobile address book. JAJAH, jaxtr and Rebtel use assigned local numbers.

5. Use VoIP over cellular or wifi data networks. Cellular 3G data networks are fast enough to carry VoIP traffic. Using them for that purpose, though, requires client software, and, more importantly, the cellular operator's permission. The latter is unlikely to happen for some time in the U.S., though European and Asian carriers are more open the possibility. Fringland Ltd. and Nimbuzz are two services that let users at least make an attempt to use up their cellular data plans, although Nimbuzz doesn't natively support outbound calling to the PSTN (public switched telephone network).

VoIP over wifi using dual-mode handsets, including iPhones, is a better bet. Several companies offer such services, including fringland and Nimbuzz, as well as DeFi Mobile Ltd., JAJAH, MediaRing Ltd., sipgate Inc. and Truphone.

6. Dial and transfer by speaking instead of by pressing keys. Those using mobile phones often find it inconvenient or impossible to dial using their tiny cellular keypads, In such situations, it's good to be able to dial by voice alone. MOBIVOX is a leader in providing voice-activated VoIP. Once you've set it up, it lets you call someone just by speaking their name. You can even add a person's name to your contact list by saying it. The list remains on MOBIVOX servers, so there's no need for client software. That means the service is not limited to users with specific types of handsets. You can also transfer calls between cellular and landline phones by speaking a command such as "transfer home," "transfer mobile" or "transfer office." One bit of manual dialing is necessary, however: You have to initially call (or speed dial) a local MOBIVOX access number to reach the pleasant-sounding automated "MOBIVOX assistant," who will ask you whom you want to call.

7. Send voice messages to lots of people at once. When you need to send an urgent message to many people on short notice, you have several options, each with its own limitations. You can email them, but many may not be at their computers. You can text them, but that takes time and provides limited information. You can call them and, if they don't answer, leave a voice mail message, but that takes even more time. It's easier if you can just call in from your mobile phone, record a message and have it delivered by automated calls to people's phones — sort of like personalized robocalls. Phonevite offers such a service and has strict safeguards so that recipients can block calls from people they don't want to hear from. Calls to up to 25 recipients are free.

8. Keep business and personal cellular voice mail separate with YouMail. Like many active people, you may now receive almost all of your calls on your mobile phone. If so, you'll want to treat personal and business callers differently. YouMail Inc.'s voice mail service lets you record different greetings for different callers or categories of callers. Greeting buddies with "Whassup" and business callers with "Your call is very important to me" could make all the difference in both your social and professional lives. YouMail also lets you "ditch" callers, who hear a message but are unable to leave one for you. You can of course also listen to voice mail as audio files in email or on the Web. Voice-to-text transcription, which lets you read your messages online, as email or as mobile text messages, is in beta.

9. Listen to your mobile voice mail messages as audio files. It's almost routine for VoIP users to be able to receive their voice mail messages as email. It's a little trickier to do so with mobile voice mail, since mobile users are likely to be away from their computers. One popular way of getting voice mail more conveniently than through dialing into an automated key-press system involves using a smartphone with appropriate client software. The service generally sends messages to the handset as a .WAV or other audio file. Other services may send not the audio message itself, but rather a text-based message containing information about who called, providing more detail about the caller than typical cellular "missed call" notifications. Pinger Inc. and YouMail offer different variations on such capabilities, as do the previously noted UC players.

10. Read your voice mail as text. There are also times when it's easier to read messages than listen to them. That's especially true if you spend a lot of time in meetings. Calling and key pressing your way through a voice mail menu could earn you unwanted attention, especially if you have a couple dozen messages in your inbox. A good solution is services that turn your voice mail into text using voice-to-text transcription. That lets you read your messages as email, including mobile email, or as text messages. You may also be able to text a reply that the service will convert to voice and deliver to phones you specify. GotVoice Inc. and MOBIVOX offer such services, and YouMail, as noted above, offers it in beta.

11. Send audio messages other than voice mail. Sometimes you don't want to talk to people, you just want to send them a short message. But most methods for doing so have limitations. For instance, your intended recipient may not have access to email at the moment, and you may not be able to cram everything you want to say into a text message. After setting up an account, Pinger lets you send individuals in your contact list a short spoken message by simply dialing a special number and speaking their name. Record the message, and the person soon receives a text message that says there's an audio message from you. The person dials another special number and can immediately listen to your message. It's perfect for those who have to communicate quickly and efficiently while on the go.

12. Talk to anyone in China without learning Chinese. This one will save you five or 10 years of pricey language lessons. Call a local JAJAH number in China, and say the phrase you desperately want to convey. JAJAH, in partnership with IBM Corp., will translate the phrase. Give your handset to your Chinese companion, who can then hear the phrase in Mandarin Chinese. It costs nothing but the price of a JAJAH VoIP call. In addition to the cost of language lessons, it could save you a fortune in fares. It also works in reverse, which can help you avoid having food the likes of which you weren't expecting appear on your plate in a restaurant.

Tips to Buy HP second / Used

Be careful and more thorough if you want to buy a former goods especially related to the Communication Technology, Electronics, and Hardware (Hardware) HP lainnya.Banyak circulating goods from mainland China who are not eligible to use the waste to indonesia Rekondisi.Mungkin this situation in a few tips to avoid and prevent you from fraud victims and HP you need to Keep, That is:

Handphone warranty or non-BM (Black Market)
Try not to buy a mobile phone that BM, as many risks that can happen in it. As an example, jamper on its PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that sometimes it is an error, or if the installed flash original program, it will happen “Contact Service”, as well as other damages that may be difficult to be returned as they are.

Safe use of mobile chat rooms

Mobile phone chat rooms are enjoyable places where children can learn social skills and interact with others. Unfortunately, there are also a number of risks associated with them.

There may be occasions when young people come into contact with other chat room users who behave in a negative way. These include bullies, who engage in abusive, threatening or harassing behaviour, and other young people and adults who try to get personal contact details with a view towards meeting in the real world. Such young people and adults may begin a process of manipulation known as grooming, which involves befriending a young person and developing a relationship with them, until the young person feels confident enough or pressured into meeting up. In extreme cases, this can lead to sexual abuse.

Making our chat rooms a safer environment

We're working hard to make the internet a safer place for children. We have separate chat rooms for under-18s and over-18s, so that we can better moderate the services used by our under-18 customers. We regularly moderat our public chat rooms and check all public user profiles, text messages, pictures and audio files to make sure they are appropriate and safe.

Although we moderate our public chat rooms, some private forums are not controlled in this way. Young people should always take care when using a private chat room, which is a one-to-one chat that may be used by an adult looking to befriend or meet a young person.

Worried about the safety of a chat room?

If your children ever feel uneasy about what's going on in a chat room, they should follow these steps:

• Tell a parent, a teacher or a trusted adult immediately
• Report any abuse to the police
• Report what happened to us by calling customer service on 0870 521 4000
• Contact the Child Exploitation Online Protection Centre at www.ceop.gov.uk

Talking to young people about online safety

You don't have to understand the technical ins and outs of the internet to be able to protect your children when they are using their phone to go online. You just need to be able to talk to them about internet safety with respect to 'chat friends' and reassure them that they can be open about it. We think it's a good idea for you and your child to agree some tips on how to safely use their phone before they get started. That way, you can feel more relaxed when they're accessing the internet.

Some young people are afraid to tell their parents about any negative online experiences they have, because they think will have their internet access stopped or their mobile confiscated. So it's very important to make sure your children know they can be honest to you about all of their online experiences, whether good or bad.

Here's a list of things you might like to remind your children about when they are online:

• Try to make sure that your online friends are genuine and keep away from chatters who are sometimes dishonest. Have they claimed to be 14 years old one day and 18 years old the next, for example?
• People in chat rooms sometimes ask personal questions. You don't have to give chat friends any information that you're not happy to pass on.
• It's especially important that you don't give out your mobile number or your address or any details about your school. You would not share this information with a stranger on the street. It's better to be vague by saying, "I live in the UK", rather than saying the name of the place you live.
• If you are thinking about posting a picture of yourself, it is important to consider the type of picture and the kind of attention it might attract. Also be aware that photos can easily be copied, changed and used elsewhere, and can potentially stay online for ever.
• There's no need to keep friendships secret. If somebody asks you to keep an online friendship secret, you should tell an adult who you trust straight away.
• You can stop talking to someone in a chat room any time you want to.

Protecting phones from theft

Mobile phones are valuable things, but they aren't as valuable as personal safety. If someone feels threatened in any way, the most important thing is for them to protect themselves rather than be harmed just for the sake of hanging on to their mobile.

If your child's mobile is stolen, you should contact customer service on 0870 521 400 to get a restriction put on the number. By doing this, nobody will be able to make or receive calls with the missing handset or SIM. You should then report the theft to the police, who will give you a crime reference number.

If a phone that has been stolen or lost is later found, it will help the police to identify it if it's been 'property marked' with your postcode. Your local police will have more information about this. It will also help the police if you know the phone's IMEI number. This is a 15-digit serial number that is unique to every mobile phone. It can usually be found on a label behind the battery.

Taking care in public with a mobile phone - advice for children

• Avoid drawing attention to your phone. When you're out and about, try to stick to texting rather than calling. If you do make calls, don't talk too loudly and maybe use a hands-free earpiece.
• Keep your phone hidden and separate from your other valuable things. An ideal place to keep it is in your inside jacket or coat pocket.
• Never leave your phone where you can't reach it quickly and don't lend it out to strangers or people you don't know very well.
• It's more difficult for someone to grab your phone from you if you hold it firmly when you're making calls.
• Stay alert. Don't become so caught up in talking or texting or playing a game that you aren't aware of what's going on around you.
• Try to keep to well-lit areas when you are out and about. Before using your mobile phone, look around you to make sure it's safe.
• Switch the ring tone off and use a vibrate alert instead. You can also let calls go straight through to your voicemail and ring or text back at a time when you feel safer.
• Your personal safety is much more important than your mobile phone. Remember that you can always get another phone if you need to.

Using camera phones safely

Many mobile phones now include built-in digital cameras, so people are able to communicate with photos and videos as well as with a voice or text. The pictures are often of a high quality and they can be sent to other camera phones or to any email address. Camera phones can also receive photos taken by other people.

Camera phones need to be used with a degree of care. It is important that young people do not misuse them or allow others to exploit them in any way.

Anybody with a camera phone can also use multimedia chat rooms. This is where photos or video clips taken on camera phones are placed on public message boards. The photos can be viewed by anyone in the chat room. They can also be copied and sent to other people.

If your child receives an offensive picture or video message, or has been the direct victim of a potential offence recorded on a camera phone, you should contact the police immediately. You should also report offensive messages to O2. Try to hold onto the message if you can, as we may be able to trace it.

Some things to discuss with your children about camera phones

• It is not possible to withhold a number when sending a photo from a mobile, so any photo you send or receive can be traced.
• A photo can be forwarded to other people or posted on the internet. So a picture sent to a small group of your friends might end up being seen by millions of people all over the world.
• A picture could contain something that could help someone find out more about you. Clues to personal information can often be found in the background or can appear by accident.
• Some people might try to take pictures in inappropriate situations or places, such as at the swimming pool or the beach. If you think you've spotted something and feel worried about it, you should tell an adult who you trust straight away.
• You should also tell an adult if you receive a photo or a video that shows someone being hit or hurt in some other way. Taking pictures or filming someone being attacked can be illegal and is a very serious offence. It is also illegal to send this sort of photo or video clip to another person.
• Make sure that you never send a picture that is offensive in any way at all. Sending pictures that are obscene, indecent or menacing may result in you getting into serious trouble.

battery saving tips for Samsung i8510 INNOV8

Even though the Samsung INNOV8 comes equipped with a lush 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery, you may still want to tweak it to minimize power consumption.

With its many advanced features and multimodal connectivity, the INNOV8 also makes for a power hungry handset.

In a spirit of brotherly love and humanistic altruism, I have therefore taken it upon myself to compile a list of the most awesome, battery saving power tweaks, you are likely to ever come across.

I have divided the list of battery tips into two categories: a) Settings that affect the power consumption, and b) user (your!) behavior that minimizes power consumption.


BATTERY FRIENDLY SETTINGS

WLAN scanning - turn it off…scan manually, or turn scanning on when needed («Settings» | «Settings» | «Connection» | «Wireless LAN» | «Show WLAN availablity» | «Never»).

Display brightness – turn off auto brightness («Settings» | «Settings» | «General» | «Personalisation» | «Display» | «Auto brightness» | «Off»).

Display brightness level - turn it all the way down («Settings» | «Settings» | «General» | «Personalisation» | «Display» | «Brightness level»).

Lower the light time-out - mine's set to 10 seconds («Settings» | «Settings» | «General» | «Personalisation» | «Display» | «Light time-out»).

Dim time…set to the lowest possible value: 5 seconds («Settings» | «Settings» | «General» | «Personalisation» | «Display» | «Dim time»).

Turn off 3G - especially in areas with poor coverage, where the INNOV8 otherwise might spend power searching for networks («Settings» | «Settings» | «Phone» | «Network» | Set «Network mode» to «GSM»).

Keep bluetooth off unless needed. Put bluetooth management on «active standby» screen for easy access («Settings» | «Settings» | «General» | «Personalisation» | «Standby mode» | «Active standby apps..»).
BATTERY FRIENDLY BEHAVIOR

Keep your firmware up to date. Although Samsung has yet to provide a way to update firmware on the INNOV8, I am sure it will happen soonish. New firmware revisions usually provide optimized power consumption.

Set your mobile offline during the night, unless your life depends on receiving calls and messages. It is even possible to automate the process of switching between profiles, by using the free application Y-Profile Scheduler. Once set, you can forget about it.

Do not walk around with “live” camera viewfinder. The INNOV8 camera appears to be quite power hungry (is it just because of the display?).

Be aware what applications you leave running in the background - shut down those that use any of the radios, i.e. GSM/UMTS(3G)/WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS.

Tips iPhone 3G Battery Saving

Following its previous hit (read iPod) that has revolutionized the portable music player now Apple has also decided to join the mobile-phones market.
Here comes the impressive iPhone 3G with its Multi-Touch capability. With elegant design and massive built-in features, Apple has once again successfully become the trendsetter. But it also come with some flaws mainly for the battery issues. For some users, the capacity of iPhone 3G battery is still not sufficient to cope with all of its power-hungry features. As a 'on-the-go' gadget that combines communication, Internet, and entertainment functions, battery here holds critical role to enjoy this gadget to the max. The battery duration which can last for only 1.5 day is a bit annoying for most users.

Heard from its name, you should've known that this latest version comes with 3G support as its new feature. As 3G excels in Internet speed, browsing becomes faster and more enjoyable. But, its battery capacity really lets you down here, you can't browse or download for too long before the battery finally runs out of power. So, in this post I'll give some tips and tricks to prolong your iPhone 3G battery:

1. Lower the brightness level

iPhone 3G has brighter screen compared to its elder brother. That's a nice upgrade, but it consumes more power as well. So, try to lower the brightness level if you are inside a brightly-lit room.

Go to Settings>Brightness

Turn off auto brightness, then slowly slide down the level till everything still visible on screen. I think 10% brightness is still possible.

2.Turn off WiFi and 3G if not used

One of the advantages of iPhone 3G is its 3G and WiFi capability to browse in a hotspot area.
But, that does not mean you should activate it all the time. Though it is idle, battery energy will still be used to stabilize the phone network. This become worse in poor 3G signal area.

Go to Settings>General>Network

3. Turn off vibration on games

Though it gives you more realistic and thrilled experience, vibration will further consumes more energy. Try to turn off that feature when playing games
4. Download and purchase applications through iTunes on PC

Though it is viable to do it directly on phone, try to search and download the applications on your PC. Since it will consume much energy to browse and download the data.
Hence, it's better to download via PC and then manually synchronize from iTunes to your iPhone 3G.

5. Set auto-lock function in minimum time

This is used as precaution only. So, it's not possible to activate some features accidentally when you forgot to lock the screen.

Go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock

6. Turn off Push Data

Turn off to reduce energy consumption. Don't worry! You can still fetch the data per time interval.

Go to Settings>Fetch New Data

7. Charge iPhone via PC

You can charge iPhone by connecting to USB port without synchronizing it. Or if you have a car charger, charge it when you are driving.

N91 vs N81 vs N95 8GB

Well today I decided to do a music test among Nokia's best Music Nseries Devices. I got my friend's N81 and N91, as they are one of theBest music Nseries Devices.

Nokia N91: As we all know this device was Nokia's first official Music Nseries device that came in two versions namely the N91 and N91 8GB. The N91 comes with a 4GB hard disk.

This was the first nseries device to come with a 3.5 mm. slot for headphones.

It has volume keys on the side and the music keys(play/pause, stop, backwards,forwards) on top of the 'actualy keypad.

I've used standard Nokia headsets that is the 'AD-54' that I got with my N95 8GB. The sound quality on the N91 is very impressive. It can give a good fight to many of the music players in the market. The sound was extremely clear and the volume was really good.Also speaker sound quality was good enough. Music on this phone is a really good experience plus we it has wi-fi. But there are many drawbacks of this device. First of all is the device design. The phone is really too BIG and heavy for pockets and to carry around. Secondly is the SLOW user interface. The device is way too slow to use and when it comes to the 'start-up' of the 'music player' it just takes a serious amount of time to load the music on the device.

But I must say that being a quite 'old' device, its music and sound qualities are just too good!

Nokia N81 : Most people say this device is a successor to the N91 in terms of music quality. Well yes this can be called the successor to the N91 and more exciting that this phones is an all together better and 'SMALLER' package compared to the N91.

This device also has the same Music keys like on the N91. Its a much more smaller and lighter phone compared to N91. User -interface is obviously fast and smooth and just flows nicely!

But the main problem was that the music sound quality on the N91 was slightly better than the N81 ! shocking! though the volume was almost the same on both the devices, somehow the sound quality was better on the N91. In an earlier post (you can read it here) I had tried out the music on the N81 and I found that it was quite good and even beat the N95 8GB for music qualities on headsets, but today I was shocked to find out that it wasn't as good as the N91. Speaker sounds are almost same as the N91. But I must say that the N81 is a very good package. A neat and small device with N-gage and wi-fi connectivity. Also the N81 comes in the 8GB version that is the N81 8GB, so you can have more space for music.

Nokia N95 8GB : The N95 8GB maybe an 'all in one' device but the sound quality and volume isn't that good when compared to the N91 and N81. This is surprising, I mean why doesn't Nokia make thier similar devices have same sound quality etc. ? the music keys are placed at the top and the slide needs to be slided downwards to see them (we all know this)

But its not that disappointing also, I mean its not hat bad its good enough! The speaker volume on the N95 8GB is the highest among all 3 phones. We all know when all the technical speciafications are compared the N95 8GB stands on top of all the 3. But it qould be really nice to have N91 sound capabilities on the N95 8GB.

So as we see even though being for quite a long time in the market the N91 has a better sound quality among nearly all nseries devices I guess (cause i haven't heard music on N82, if you have please let me know!) Please let me know about your Music experience!

It would be really nice to have better sound quality integrated onto latest Nseries devices like the N96, N85 and N79 etc. Music on Nseries has improved a lot, and I hope it improves even more further in the future. With Music store and Internet radio and other stuff Music on Nokia is a really good experience!

ZTE to Assemble Mobile Phones in Ethiopia

China's ZTE is to start assembling mobile phones in Ethiopia after signing a ETB50 million (US$5.2 million) deal with the Organization for Rehabilitation and Development of Amhara (TIRET). According to the agreement, TIRET and Janora Technology will build the assembly plant in Bahir Day City of the Amhara State within 14 months.
ZTE will be supplying the necessary machineries for the establishment of the plant and inputs to the new assembly plant.

The new assembly plant will have the capacity to produce between 3,000-4,500 mobile phones per day.There is huge pent-up demand in the country for mobile phones, as was shown in the recent surge in the cost of handsets after the sole mobile operator, ETC released more capacity following a network upgrade. The sudden release of new SIM cards caused a run on handsets leading to shortages and price rises.ZTE recently added 1.2 million GSM lines to the network capacity to cope with demand and a WCDMA overlay is also planed for some parts of the network. The company is currently deploying a 2.4 million line capacity CDMA network in the country.The state owned monopoly ended Q1 '08 with an estimated 1.6 million subscribers, which according to figures from the Mobile World equates to a population penetration level of just 2%.

Upgrade Software Sony Ericsson

Articles this time, I want to decompose the problem in Sony Ericsson mobile phone that do not start performing maximal. Accident several days ago my Sony Ericson K610i have a problem on the Application and Games, the folders can not be open [Operation Failed]. First thing, I was panic, I try to search info to customer service Sony Ericson and they said to me to take it to the service center. Because the time does not relate possible, to go to service center and that time I hear much of complaints from consumers about services that are less satisfactory from customer service Sony Ericson in Indonesia, this thing make me strengthen to make my own experiment to service my own problem Sony Ericsson with upgrade the Sony Ericsson Software. My be your Sony Ericsson begins start slowly, often hangs and error. You don’t need to confuse, you only need to upgrade or update the Sony Ericsson software version mobile phone with the new one.

This is the step you need to do :

-PC with OS Windows XP(tm) (Home or Professional) with SP2 or the new, or Microsoft® Windows Vista(tm) (32/64 bit) that connect with the internet explorer
-USB cable and,
-Software Update Service, this software you can get with free download in www.sonyericsson.com or in here for Sony Erickson like my type I have.

After the Update Service software downloaded and installed on your PC, do not forget to back up first all of data stored in your phone’s memory. After all the back up, then you can start to upgrade your phone, how? This is the step :

-moving the software Update Service, click start => click recive, choice your phone type
-connect USB cable to the PC
- turn off the phone, remove the battery than re-attach with still hold C button with still connect the USB cable to the phone and in software Update Service screen click continue, wait until the release button C.

After you released C button, automatically software Update Service will be connected to the internet to download new software for your phone. If the download mobile phone software has been completed, disconnect the USB cable from the phone and then remove the battery and re-attach, than trun on your phone. Now you will fell your phone like a new phone because you use a new software for your phone.

The thing that you need to highlight is don’t use slowly connection because its can make the performance of the installation need a long time, about 30 minute. And if its work, try to have the UPS to anticipate powerless at the process upgrade. Do not be afraid to fail, if its fail the service center door always open to service us hehehehe…

Tips For Finding IMEI number On Handphone

IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is used to help companies and handset users to track the use of the handset. If the phone stolen, the handset or the phone company will enter the IMEI number into the database, and then disabling the phone permanently. In fact, if the SIM card is replaced, the phone can not work. Here are some ways to find the IMEI number of mobile phone :

Open the battery cover on the phone and lift the battery. IMEI number should have been there in a white label under the battery. IMEI number is usually number 15 to 17 digits with no letters or slash marks.

Insert the battery and turn on the phone. If the IMEI number is not in the battery, then waiting on the phone a flame.

Press *#06# from your phone keypad, even though not all phones are compatible with the. When the final # sign is entered, then the 15 digit number with titile "IMEI number" will appear. Record the number and store for guard if the phone is lost or stolen.

If the second step has not been successful, so if Motorola brand mobile phone, then you have to press #, *, (menu) and then press the right arrow to quickly, without a pause when pressing the key. IMEI number will then appear on the screen.

You can also check the menu on the phone, if you have a SIM card. Scroll the menu to find the IMEI or SIM ID, select to display the IMEI number.

Video iPod`s ads

IPod video was a surprising new device at its appearance, due to the new and exiting quality that it could offer: playing videos. Besides this, the iPods have known, since their appearance on the market, a constant evolution, which lead to the fact that the public and the potential customers had more and more expectations regarding this product. With a new offer and design, the new product iPod video had a series of new ads, some authentic and some suspicious, because of their fake or less real aspect.

Due to the fact that the product was not yet in stores and people didn’t expect such a product to appear, there were a number of teasing and controversial ads (regarding their authenticity) which appeared and circled on the Internet. By bringing a new and relevant feature to the device, such as the video feature, the potential customers were surprised by the evolution of the product and so, the ads purpose was established. One of these ads represents the iPod video in an unreal shape (meaning that the authentic iPod has other optical features and another design). The ad was very short, as it lasted only 15 seconds. The video begins with presenting some corners of the new device, which are revealed in a computerized manner.

This one side of the device turns and the other one presents a screen which played the most recent music video belonging to the band Black-Eyed Peas (Pump it). The music and rhythm were dynamic and fast and so were the characters, who were dancing while driving. Suddenly, the slogan Introducing the new hand held movie theatre appeared and shortly after, the phrase new hand held movie theatre was cut out and the new phrase new iPod appeared on the screen, resulting Introducing the new iPod.

The controversy around this ad is focused on the fact that the actual iPod video doesn’t have the same characteristics as the one in the ad: the actual device looks very similar to the 1st to 4th generation of iPods, meaning the screen is over the buttons, but the one revealed in the ad presented a very large screen, which completed one side of the device.

Still, there are many ads of the new iPod video which are, for sure, authentic. The main idea of these is the fact that music can be seen, as well, besides just being heard. This is why the Apple company opted for integrating famous artists in the ads for their product: one of the ads featured U2's Original of the Species from the Vertigo - Live From Chicago DVD and another two featured Eminem and Wynton Marsalis. The ads featuring these artist were much longer than the usual ones and they basically played famous songs, but not together with their videos; instead, the producers opted for some more authentic images illustrating performances of these artists, which would look natural and more spontaneous. The ads for this new product were focused on the video playing capabilities of the device and the producers wanted, at the same time, to symbolize the new range of possibilities that the new model of iPpod had to offer.

The main idea of the ads was clear, even though these 3 ads had very different targets. Based on the fact that the clients of the new device come from different backgrounds and are of different ages, the producers and the marketers managed to pick some artists that represent generations and symbolize best their tastes and lifestyle: Eminem stands for teens and hip hop music, Wynton Marsalis is representative for adults who like classical and jazz music and U2 is somewhere in between the other 2 opposite styles.

In parallel, the ads with the dancing silhouettes continued with more specified backgrounds, which were representing the video options. The iPod`s video ads show that the product has definitely evolved, has a more mature image and optimized new features.

Video iPod`s accessories

Different accessories are compatible with iPod video, fact that increases the importance and great success of the new video device. There are cases for all tastes, requirements and preferences. You may not worry about the age or special preferences of the persons you may bring as a gift the iPod and the case for it.

Other accessories are the chargers, the earphones, headphones of different models. There is also a speaker especially created for the new iPod video. You may also find different types of skins, sticker decals, carrying cases, pouches, remote control, iPlug 3.5 splitter, backpack w/ speakers and, of course, various connection cables and adapter very useful for the new iPod video.

There are also different available adapters – iPod video cassette adapter for 3.5 mm devices, iPod video 3.5 mm to RCA audio cable adapter, iPod video car charger cigarette lighter adapter for Apple iPod, iPod video USB black car charger cigarette lighter adapter, iPod video USB travel/home charger adapter, iPod video car charger adapter, iPod video wall-car charger 12V-AC adapter. You may also find different transmitters for the iPod video and this is the case of the iPod video tune-free audio FM transmitter and the iPod video WALL-II audio FM transmitter.

Various cables are also of great use and are needed while having the iPod video - iPod video firewire 1394 data dync dable for Apple iPod & iPod mini, iPod video retractable USB 2.0 data sync cable for Apple iPod, iPod video USB 2.0 extension cable, iPod video USB 2.0 data sync cable for Apple iPod. You may also need iPod video USB data transfer key fob, extended battery pack w/ carrying case for the iPod video, walet carrying cases, metal cases of different colors, protector shields of various colors.

There are also some other useful accessories for the new iPod video and you may choose from different types of cases - Kroo G5 belt clip leather cases, Kroo Melrose belt clip carrying cases, iPod video Optimum Armband carrying cases.

You may also buy an iPod video Cellet universal PDA holder and a special holder for the iPod especially designed for the car. Other accessories are also useful and have an interesting design – iPod video Cellet Rhinestones 100, iPod Cellet Rhinestones assorted.

Some other accessories point out the new generation style technology – iPod video creative CB2530 bluetooth digital wireless headphones, iPod video Naztech boom station N20 speaker and docking station, iPod video fold-up amplified portable speakers for MP3 and music players. Other accessories are iPod video desktop dock cradle, iPod video idock desktop dock cradle for Apple iPod w/ USB and FireWire.

All these accessories denote the fact that a simple portable audio device is of a great importance taking into account all different designs for the carrying cases and skins. The iPod video has many accessories, some of them are designed for suiting the lifestyle, the preferences and the tastes of the customers. Others are needed for transferring the information, for adapting or other useful activities in the technologic domain.

Another important aspect to mention is the fact that all the accessories are especially designed for the thinner models of the iPod video with a larger screen and smaller dimensions. The cases, skins and sticker decals have the role of pointing out the beauty, simplicity or vivid colors. On the other hand, they have a protective role and a decorative one, pointing out the personality, the lifestyle of the user. These aspects are extremely important for the younger users of the iPod video – the teenagers.

The other accessories are more or less needed taking into account how much into the fever of the iPods the user is and how much he uses all the other activities related with the iPod video. Anyway, in a world in continuous movement, almost all the accessories and special devices may be of great need for a modern person with a modern lifestyle.

Video iPod`s package

The trend that the Apple company set for their packages is redefined with every new appearance of a product. Actually, the permanent search in finding the right package and aesthetics and adapting the box to both the product and the customers` needs is focused on discovering a more compact way of packaging and, at the same time, with an expressive, yet subtle artistic touch. Due to the characteristics of the product, the packaging of the video iPod tries to be both practical and aesthetic, in order to symbolize somehow the visual characteristics and quality of the new product.

The original package of the iPod was a 6" cube box. The box was supposed to be removed out of the sleeve, after which, it was unfolded as a flower. The first iPod package reflected the image that the company was trying to promote: exuberant style, expressive elements, brisk and intense colors and sounds. After the appearance of the next types of iPods, this image of the product changed into a more mature one, an image which was expressed through the campaigns, the package and the general design of the product.

The main color of the iPod video is plain black, which is rather risky, yet original, considering the fact that the main aspect that the device has is the video, meaning colors, motion and diversion. Still, there are various silver accents on the box, which represent the Apple logo and text. Still, the color of the box fits with the colors of the actual iPods: black and white, just like the iPod nano. By choosing these colors and this style of packaging, Apple wanted to create a more sophisticated and stylish look of the new product; together with this, the ads for the product changed to a more series and mature tone.

The shape of the box differs, as well, from the first flower-like box of the first generation of iPods: this iPod`s video box is rather flat and square, more stylish and more serious looking. Actually, this box works as a sleeve, as well, with one open end, similar to a DVD box set, but it also contains another inner box, which is very well fixed inside. The inner box opens in 2 distinctive parts: one part contains the iPod device and the other contains a monolith.

The package lacks a manual guide (still, it has a small Quick Start Guide); instead, it has a CD which contains all the needed usage instructions of the iPod video. Besides these, the box contains a relevant and think copyright statement and a protective sleeve for the actual iPod. The CD which contains the instructions displays an appropriate PDF file that suits any computer, using the languages English, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Another inside package contains an USB adapter cable and the ear buds; this type of iPod has even smaller ear buds, which need to be protected while opening the box.

The new product iPod video has, besides various improvements in the technical department (among which, the video feature is the most relevant one), another package, another image and way of presentation. The new package manages to remain practical, yet it becomes safer. Besides these, the new package offers a more sophisticated and elitist image of the product, concentrating on refined touches and neutral colors.

The target buyers of the iPod video

Every new release of a product gets the interest of a particular type of people. While men seem more interested in technology and women in beauty products, while teens are fond of games and music and adults more of books, the marketers precisely know, before launching a new product, the main target of their new item. For example, the iPod video is one of the new releases which defiantly have a specific type of buyers.

The target buyers of this new device are, for sure, young people and adults which are trying to buy a great present for their children. In this example, the critics say that in many cases, the adults do not know the features of the new device well and all the things that it can be used for. So, one of the most important worries that parents should have is the fact that some children might use the iPod to directly download (as this new iPod video allows to do so) some materials from sites destined to adults only. More precisely, the target customers of the iPod video are somewhere between the ages of 16 and 30, but there are various categories which don’t fit in this group, too. Among these, there are the people above 30 years which want to remain modern and keep focused on the new releases in the technology department. Even more, there are various customers which own an iPod from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation and simply want to upgrade their item and to be able to watch clips and movies on the device, as well.

On the other hand, the sales so far clearly indicate the fact that the new iPod video is bought more by men then by women. In many cases, the iPod is bought in order to be offered as a gift for various occasions, as it is consistent, original and useful.

Due to the fact that the new iPod video represents quite and investment, there are rare cases in which teens might purchase one of these with their own money. Still, parents seem disposed to pay the necessary amount of money in order to see their children happy. The sales of the iPod video showed the fact that the device sells best before Christmas and before the summer holiday. Due to the fact that the usage of the new iPod video is one of the most pleasant ways to spend the time, (as it offers both video and audio possibilities), the iPod is intensely used while people are on vacation.

The new iPod video has a lot of fans so far and even more people are interested in the new features that the iPod can provide, thinking of purchasing the item themselves. So far, the sales say that the number of the buyers is increasing and the people become more and more receptive to the device and its capacities. At the same time, people adapt fast to the new technology, so they expect even more from the next iPod of the Apple Company. Due to this, the team of engineers already works on the next and more optimized iPod, which will bring, besides many new features and accessories, an innovative new capacity, which will surprise the market.

The style of the new iPod video

Technical devices are, firstly, devices which provide a practical usage. Still, an increased concern in how these devices should look and what their particular style expresses is not insignificant, either.

The design of the new iPod video is rather unique and different from all the other models of the iPod series, which basically includes 4 generations of this device. Firstly, the design of the new iPod had to be adapted to the optimized features of the product. Secondly, the most important factor when designing this item was the fact that it had to have a large and colored screen, in order to provide the video feature at a high level. Even more, even though it is a technical device, the iPod always had a fashion of its own, which made the item, besides a provider of music (photos and now, videos), a trendy accessory, which young people preferred to wear. Considering this, the design engineers of the Apple team managed to pay an increased attention to all the aesthetical features of the device and took care of all the tiny details which actually made the iPod look great at the end.

The iPods were found on the market in various colors since their appearance. From the intense and bright pink iPod of the first generation to the elegant and popular white, the iPod managed to keep the same style, even through different colors. Even more, the most famous iPod ads were always focused on bright colors, such as orange, green, intense turquoise and lots of shiny pink. The iPod video is found on the market today in two basic colors: white and black and the choice of these colors is owed to the fact that, on one hand, the previous iPod nano had the same colors and it was a big hit product since it was launched and, on the other hand, the fact that with the new iPod video, the marketers and the advertising team wanted to promote a more serious look of this device, with a subtle and more elegant style. Still, the ear buds for this device are kept in the same color, white, as they have been since the first appearance of the iPod on the market in the year 2001.

The reviews that regard the aspect and design of the new iPod video mention the fact that some black ear buds were expected, as well, in other to fit better with the elegant look of the black iPod video. Even more, regarding the colors of the new iPod video, the reviews mention the fact that, while people expected the white iPod video to require more maintenance than the black one, the reality shows the fact that the dirt is much more visible on the black device. At the same time, Apple offers in the large package which includes the iPpod a protecting sleeve for the video device. This sleeve is colored in light grey and manages to protect the iPod and keep it clean, at the same time.

The new package of the iPod video brings many new aesthetic and stylish features: the text and the Apple logo on the box are embossed with silver, which makes the black package look elegant and elitist, which is exactly what the company wanted.

The sales of the new iPod video

The iPods have been a market hit since their launching in 2001. With the appearance of the new iPod video on the market in 2005, the iPod became even more popular, as it achieved high umbers in sales and an increased interest from the public. The sales of the iPod video were, in general, better than the expectations. Considering the fact that the new product brought, indeed, something new to the market, which was never tested before and the customers were used to the idea that iPod stands for music and, in a smaller part, it stands for photos, the sales surprised the producers just like the product surprised the customers and the users.

Basically, the iPod video present 2 variants of the device: the 30 GB model and the 60 GB one, which both play QVGA H. 264 videos. Over the last holiday season, the sales were very high, as people seamed to be more interested in purchasing such an item before taking the summer vacation. Due to this fact, the new iPod video turned out to be a great choice of spending the time during the holiday. In fact, the last holiday season brought a 30 % increase of the sales, which is a consistent amount. Even more, the new iPod video turned out to be an excellent Christmas present, as the sales indicate the fact that the sales of the iPods increased significantly before this important religious holiday. Another sales hit in the history of the iPods was the Apple iPod + hp, which was launched in the year 2004. In the first months of 2006, Apple reported sales of 565 million dollars, which was the highest number in the company’s history. In fact, Apple managed to ship 6, 16 million iPods during the first months of 2005, meaning a 66 % increase over the same period of time in 2004.

The new range of iPods are supposed to be even more improved and have a new variety of features and new accessories, which will increase even more the popularity of these products. After the famous exposition called Macworld, which was held on the 10th of January 2006, the official speakers reported sales over 42 million dollars, which included a part of 14 million dollars, gained in the first quarter of the year. With even more expectations in sales for the future, the engineer team of Apple is focusing even now in producing a sixth generation of even more optimized iPods.

Till the appearance on the market of the iPod video, the best selling product of the iPod series was the iPod nano, which had great results since the launching. The studies and researches show the fact that most of the part of the consumers want and easy personalization of their video content, meaning quality and inexpensive solutions that satisfy their needs. IPod video brought, at its launching, a new set of features that were about to change the perception that people had about this small, yet powerful device. With a memory that could now include a play list of 15, 000 songs, 25, 000 pictures and up to 150 of hours full with videos and movies, the new iPod was an innovative new product and the market embraced its originality and new and exiting features.

The photo features of the new iPod video

One of the newest and most popular digital devices on the market today is, without any doubt, the new video iPod. The small device has improved significantly since the last model` s launching and the main evolution is represented by the capacity of playing videos.

Still, the new iPod video is not all about watching movies or music video clips, as it has various improvements since the last model, different accessories and improved capacities. As the producing company Apple claims, regarding the evolution of the product: Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then pod casts. Now iPod plays video. Importing and saving photos was an important characteristic of the last models of iPod and it still is, even with the new video feature.

IPod video, just like the previous generations of iPods, can import photos in digital format from either a camera or a card reader. One of the best options for these is the Apple Camera Connector, which works with both a camera and a USB card reader. Still, the usage of the Apple Camera Connector or Belkin Media Reader (for the other generations of iPods, excluding the iPod video, which is not compatible with Belkin) might cause the intense usage of the battery of the iPod, as well. With the USB 1.1 camera, the battery remains half charged after the procedure. While transferring the pictures with the UBB 1. camera, the iPod shows the thumbnails of the imported images. At the end of the transport, the images can be browsed, but they can not be displayed on TV.

The new iPod video provides some options for the photo album, due to the high quality of the images and pictures. These can be rated or they can form slideshows and a major plus this fact that the new iPod video provides full-size thumbnails of photos.

Another characteristic of the 5th generation of iPods which is connected with the photo feature is the large color screen that this version of the iPod provides. The screen is the largest-yet display which was created since the appearance of these items on the market. Even more, the screen shows sharp texts and optimized brightness; so long titles can be read easily. Due to this fact, the photos are large and sharp, as well. Even though the company Apple advertises the new battery life (which became 20 hours from 16 hours of the last model of iPods), the battery runs down quickly if the backlight is on. Still, the backlight is not necessary in most situations, as the text is readable and the images have a good visibility in sunlight or in intense indoor light.

The photo importing and saving feature of the new iPod video has significantly changed in comparison with the last model of these devices, which lead to a better response from the public and a more optimized device. With the new range of importing and saving pictures, the video iPod presents improvements in this domain, together with the obvious improvements in the video processing. The Apple company symbolizes the capacity of the new iPod video, mentioning that the new device can store up to 15 000 songs, 25 000 photos and up to 150 hours of video.

The latest in iPods – iPod video

IPods have been a great market hit since their appearance in 2001, almost 5 years ago. Since listening to music is one of the favorite activities of today’s individuals, the constant evolution of this device was an important request, so the new product presented a diverse range of new features, accessories and capacities. The iPod evolved from a simple and basic music player to a sum of music player, recorder, and photo viewer and now to a both music and video device.

The most important new feature of the latest generation of iPods, meaning the 5th generation, is the video. Basically, these inventive and technologically advanced, yet small devices support both MPEG-4 and H.264 videos at significantly high resolutions, which are not far from a VSH tape. Actually, in more precise terms, the H.264 codec can play video at frame rates up to 30 frames per second, video bit rates as high as 768 kilobits per second and pictures as big as 320 pixels wide by 240 pixels high. Comparing the iPod video with the TV 27 FPS or the movies 24 FPS, it is obvious that the small device it is much better. Regarding the audio qualities, comparing to a CD quality, the iPod video is superior. On the other hand, the MPEG-4 video supports a bit rate of 2,500 kilobits per second and pictures as big as 480 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, meaning three times the size of the actual screen (in comparison with the H.264 video, which supports pictures the same size as the screen pf the iPod).

The reviews on this item are so far, excellent – the quality of the motion images is great, with almost perfect colors, even when the device is connected to a TV set in order to watch a video. Even more, watching the videos on the actual iPod is possible due to a larger screen, which also allows the high visibility of sharp texts and photos. Still, even though the battery is claimed to last around 20 hours, which is an evolution since the last iPod model, the battery is much rapidly consumed when watching videos.

The range of improvements since the last model of iPod is impressive: the new video iPod comes with a new design, but in the same black and white colors and with a new set of accessories, which range from world clock, smaller earphones and a thinner slipcase to AC adapter and FireWire cable. Concerning the new package design, the iPod video comes with a new look: the box is flat and in a square shape; the color of the new box is black with silver accents, such as the Apple logo and the text.

The latest generation of iPods surprised the market in many ways: from the video capacities to the other improved features since the last model in 2005 and from the design and package changes to the wide and evolved range of accessories that are available together with the new iPod video. The evolution of the iPod shows an increased interest in constantly developing this device and always considering the needs and desires of the consumer. It is expected that the next generation of iPods to be even more optimized, with a lot of changes in the video settings and a longer capacity of the battery when watching videos.
