HTC Touch Pro
Despite some performance issues, the HTC Touch Pro is one of Sprint's most feature-packed and powerful smartphones for business users.
iPhone lost leadership
The Samusng has all the chances to sell before the end of the year, more than 10 million smartphones Galaxy s., now with shelves took about 9.3 million units.
Note another Browsers IntoMobile interesting fact about Galaxy s. this device is the top selling smartphone in South Korea, but only after the iPhone Palm Championship. More than a year, Apple sold 1.8 million phones in the country where the mobile phone Galaxy S took less than six months to reach the milestone of 2 million units.
Many market experts surprised high performance Samsung which turned out to be even higher than that of HTC. Taiwanese company, not only is the first manufacturer of Android-Smartphone, but also has a record of a rich lineup of “smart” phones.
New Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS 3.1 OS Unlock Software Released
The actual iPhone 3G/3GS unlock here at iPhone Unlocking Solutions. The current generation phone, iPhone, has the features of a PC, an iPod, a digital camera and a mobile phone. It is one of the most preferred phones having features of networking and browsing. But it gets expensive to buy an iPhone because it comes with a contract of limited use and you cannot run your iPhone after some time as mentioned in the contract of its provider. Unlocking helps you to run iPhone on any carrier of your choice and it releases an iPhone from Apple’s network. It simply means you are not bound to any network to run your iPhone and your iPhone is usable even after the end of the contract. Benefits of unlocking an iPhone are that it helps you to run third party applications and play retro-games.Wednesday, June 6, 2012
BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300
 |
Does this mean that you should completely disregard the BlackBerry Curve 9300? No, not necessarily. At under fifty bucks on contract, it’s one of the cheapest smartphones on the market today. Then again, are you better off spending a couple more bucks to get something monumentally better? Let’s find out.
Features and Specifications
As a Curve, the BlackBerry 9300 is a very clear step down from even older devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9700. The price reflects that, but be prepared to make some sacrifices.
For instance, it only has a 2.0-megapixel camera and that doesn’t even come with flash. There’s just 256MB of internal memory, but you can expand that with the included microSD memory card slot. The rest of the specs are better than some Curves from the past though.You get both 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and GPS, as well as the aforementioned 3.6Mbps HSPA 3G connection. Other specs and highlights include the usual BlackBerry accoutrements like the QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad, BIS/BES support, and TeleNav. The 2.4-inch display is just QVGA and, strangely enough, BlackBerry App World does not come pre-installed.
Keyboard and Trackpad
If you’re a fan of the QWERTY keyboards from the days of the 8300 series, you’ll feel right at home with the Curve 9300. It has the same “separated” key layout as its predecessors, which is quite unlike the “connected” keyboard on the Bold 9700.
This is largely a matter of personal preference, to be sure, but I don’t like the 8300/9300 style keyboard. It wasn’t comfortable trying to type with the pads of my thumbs, forcing me to use my fingernails or the absolute tips of my fingers instead. The keys are quite hard to the touch too, instead of using a slightly softer plastic which may have been more comfortable.
The trackpad is exactly the same as every other contemporary BlackBerry, so it really came as little surprise. It does its job and I definitely like it better than the old trackball. I did find that after some oil from my fingers got on the trackpad, as is bound to happen, it got a little less responsive.
Camera and Multimedia
One of the more disappointing aspects to the BlackBerry Curve 9300 is its camera. When other smartphones are pushing upwards of eight-megapixels with dual xenon flashes and 720p video recording, the Curve 3G comes in with a paltry two-megapixel shooter and no flash in sight.
The pictures it takes are mediocre at best and don’t even think about taking pictures under low-light conditions. Granted, this is largely a business-oriented device and corporate types may not be TwitPic’ing all that much, but a lackluster 2.0MP camera won’t cut it in today’s smartphone world.
The multimedia player is the same as every other BlackBerry, but it is nice to see the dedicated music controls on the top of the phone. There’s a back button, forward button, and a play/pause button, the last of which doubles as the usual mute button for ‘Berries. Playing music through the built-in speaker is actually not bad, since it can be pretty loud for a phone.
Calling and Web Surfing
The call quality, for both ends of the conversation, is pretty middle of the road on this phone. I don’t have any real complaints regarding call clarity or reception, but I wouldn’t say that it’s particularly great in any way either. It just works and, let’s face it, we all use our smartphones for so much more than just voice calls. They’ve become an afterthought.
Web surfing is what you’d expect on a BlackBerry with a trackpad and a QVGA display. It does the job most of the time, but it’s far from the best mobile browsing experience. You really need to zoom in to get legible text on non-mobile sites, which forces you to do a lot of both horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Conclusion
The BlackBerry Curve 9300 is definitely a lesser BlackBerry, but the price reflects that. The camera leaves much to be desired, the keyboard isn’t the most comfortable thing in the world, and web surfing can be an exercise in frustration.
Considering that you can get a much better phone in the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (which runs BB OS 6 now) for just fifty bucks more on contract, I’d much rather opt for that over the Curve 3G. Or, if you want to spend more and wait a little longer, the new-gen Bold 9780 should be just around the corner.

Don't try this at home
What Japenese restaurants are near a cinema showing a film i want to see?
A regular search engine - even one with maps - will mean you have to manage several separate queries with several separate maps and pages: find cinema listsings; see what's showing at each; try to remember where they are. Then look for restaurants featuring your chosen cuisine; see where they are located; try to bring the maps together to see if they're near each other. Then go look for recommendations or menus about the restaurant.
mSpace mobile lets you explore information in more natural ways -
exploring context, association, and relations
mSpace mobile makes it easy - and keeps everything in view. mSpace mobile's innovative interface lets you explore dozens of areas of interest while keeping your original query/quary in sight. So you can find where a movie's playing relative to where you're standing right now, and see just how close or not restaurants are that suit your taste. And it you're curious, you can just as easily head off to explore information about different kinds of cuisine, or the biography of an actor in that film you're seeing, all without leaving your initial context. And mspace makes it easy to keep track of what you've discovered, too: see easily that your movie starts at 7:10; that you're catching the 11pm train home, and so on.

Morph is one of the newest and most innovative ideas today coming to us from the great minds at Cambridge and Nokia. Together, they have devised a new way to present their phone to the world: with true flexibility of design. Morph is an idea that will demonstrate to the world how mobile handsets of the future can be made of material that will allow them to stretch and flex into radically different shapes. Can you imagine being about to sculpt your mobile phone? Well now you can! This new idea will demonstrate the functionality that can be achieved using nanotechnology in the creation of our phones of tomorrow. The goal was to reinvent the form and functionality of today’s mobile phone, and they really hit the nail on the head with this one
T-Mobile To Require Data Services On All Smartphones Purchased Effective August 8th
The new evidence in the hunt for "DB Cooper"
After hijacking an airplane and extorting $200,000 from the FBI, DB Cooper calmly made a daring escape via parachute. Forty years later, new evidence suggests law enforcement may finally be hot on the trail of America's most elusive fugitive. But what is this new evidence? On the night before Thanksgiving of 1971, a man who called himself Dan Cooper (a reporter working for one of the wire services misheard the name of the hijacker, and ever since then he has been referred to as DB Cooper, rather than Dan) wearing a suit and raincoat, walked up to the Northwest Orient desk at Portland's airport and spent $20 on a one-way ticket to Seattle.
On the plane, he donned a pair of dark sunglasses, ordered a whiskey, lit up a cigarette and coolly handed the stewardess a note. In capital letters, it read:
Cooper asked the stewardess to relay the following request to the plane's captain: he wanted $200,000 and four parachutes, and in return, he'd allow 36 people to leave the aircraft when the plane landed in Seattle. The FBI, quickly contacted by ground control, organized the swap, and when the plane was sky-bound again, with just the pilot, co-pilot, one stewardess and Cooper on board.
The hijacker's instructions were to head for Mexico, maintaining an altitude under 10,000 feet. Then, somewhere over the lower Cascade mountains, 25 miles north west of Portland, Cooper released the plane's aft stairs, stepped out, and, with one of the parachutes strapped to his besuited back, jumped into the stormy, cold November night and was never seen or heard from again. By the time military helicopters were scrambled, on November 24th 1971, to search the land north of Portland for a six-foot-tall white guy weighing 170 to 175 pounds, "DB" Cooper was long gone — presumably either dead or packing away his parachute and trudging through mud and rain to make his escape.
Over the past 40 years since that cold night, there have been more than 1,000 Cooper suspects, several deathbed confessions, a film (starring Robert Duvall), and well over a dozen books. As one person told legendary Cooper tracker Alex Hannaford, Cooper is the "Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest."
It makes sense why Cooper holds such an important place in American folklore — the hijacking is the only one in U.S. history to go unsolved and offers, for many, an opportunity to see one lone man thumb their nose at "the" man — the government. Also, there's been tantalizing little in the way of clues.
The first major "break" in the case came in February of 1980 when, nine years after the Cooper skyjacking, an eight-year-old boy found three packets of the Cooper ransom money on a local beach, still bundled up in rubber bands. It was just under $6,000 — the bulk of the $200,000 was still missing — but it was enough to put Cooper back in the papers.
Hannaford claims there have been over 1000 suspects these last four decades:
Hannaford recently met with Dietrich, who told him:
On the plane, he donned a pair of dark sunglasses, ordered a whiskey, lit up a cigarette and coolly handed the stewardess a note. In capital letters, it read:
I HAVE A BOMB IN MY BRIEFCASE. I WILL USE IT IF NECESSARY. I WANT YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME. YOU ARE BEING HIJACKED.What happened next would give Cooper a place in the pantheon of American folk heroes.
Cooper asked the stewardess to relay the following request to the plane's captain: he wanted $200,000 and four parachutes, and in return, he'd allow 36 people to leave the aircraft when the plane landed in Seattle. The FBI, quickly contacted by ground control, organized the swap, and when the plane was sky-bound again, with just the pilot, co-pilot, one stewardess and Cooper on board.

Hannaford claims there have been over 1000 suspects these last four decades:
"As for suspects, there have been more than 1,000 over the past four decades. Military veteran William Gossett had had parachute training and was widely known to be obsessed with the Cooper hijacking. Towards the end of his life he reportedly told his sons and a retired judge that he was the hijacker.But that's not to say the FBI isn't still pursuing Cooper. In fact, Ayn Dietrich, a former analyst with the bureau, is still now tasked with handling inquiries about the Cooper case.
According to attorney and Cooper sleuth Galen Cook, Gossett also owned a safety deposit box which contained $200,000 and that he ended his days on the run in Utah. The FBI, however, says there is no firm evidence implicating Gossett at all.
Another suspect is Kenny Christiansen, a former paratrooper who died in 1994. Eight years ago, after watching a documentary on the Cooper case on television, Christiansen's brother, Lyle, became convinced his elder sibling was Cooper. His efforts to persuade the FBI, however, proved futile."
Hannaford recently met with Dietrich, who told him:
"Being an open but not active case, we respond to every report or lead. Our case agent will check them out and determine whether they're credible. We're not out there combing for more evidence but we've kept it open in the belief that there could be something out there. The money has surfaced before and perhaps more will surface."She insists all the suspects still being touted by Cooper sleuths have been ruled out — either because they don't match the DNA or fingerprints they have on file, or because the descriptions just don't match up. But then she opens up with something new — and this is where the latest evidence revealed this weekend comes from:
"You're the first to know this, but we do actually have a new suspect we're looking at. And it comes from a credible lead who came to our attention recently via a law enforcement colleague." I'm stunned. Dietrich says she can't tell me much more, but like all the Cooper sleuths I've met over the past few days, I too have become a little obsessed with the case. "The credible lead is somebody whose possible connection to the hijacker is strong," she says. "And the suspect is not a name that's come up before." Dietrich says agents have sent an item that belongs to him for testing at the forensics lab in Quantico, Virginia. "We're hoping there are fingerprints they can take off of it," she says. "It would be a significant lead. And this is looking like our most promising one to date."
It's a pending investigation, and she can't tell me any more. I push her to see if she can say whether the suspect is still alive. "Generally, the large majority of subjects we look into now are already deceased based on the timing of this," she says. I follow up with Dietrich a week after my visit, but she says it could be some time before the FBI gets the results back.

On Call: What we'd really lose in an AT&T-T-Mobile merger Read more: http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-20084383-85/on-call-what-wed-really-lose-in-an-at-t-t-mobile-merger/#ixzz1TnpwtrXM
On Call runs every two weeks, alternating between answering reader questions and discussing hot topics in the cell phone world.
By now I'm sure that you're familiar with the arguments against the proposed AT&T-T-Mobile merger. As critics see it, the deal will put too much power in the hands of one carrier (and one GSM carrier at that), it will reduce customer choice and innovation, and it will lead to higher prices and poorer customer service.
Those all are valid points, but I'm more worried about something that hasn't received a lot of attention. If this merger goes through, I fear that T-Mobile's gutsy approach to expanding its smartphone lineup will be killed by AT&T's stodgier culture. Indeed, over the last year, T-Mobile has greatly outshone its potential partner in both the range and quality of such handsets. AT&T produced slightly more smartphones during that period (21 versus 19), but T-Mobile has taken more risks and its lineup has earned a higher average score from CNET editors (7.7 versus 7.2). I don't really know where the carrier gets its aggressive spirit, but customers will lose if it disappears.
Better phones
Just consider that in the four months since the merger was announced, T-Mobile has continued to pump out one worthy smartphone after another. Not only did we see two CNET Editors' Choice winners with the LG G2x and the HTC Sensation 4G, but also we had the shutterbug-friendly MyTouch 4G Slide 4G, the wallet-friendly Samsung Exhibit 4G, and the Sidekick 4G, which brought the Sidekick family back to life. That's lot of handset power in a short time.
Yet, if we go back further to last August, we find even more examples. There were the Galaxy S 4G, Dell Venue Pro, Samsung Nexus S, Motorola Defy, BlackBerry Bold 9780, and MyTouch 4G. Of course, none of these devices was perfect--and the T-Mobile Comet failed to win us over--but all scored well in their CNET reviews and most offered access to T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ network. And keep in mind that it took AT&T a lot longer to offer any HSPA+ access of its own.
What's more, most of these T-Mobile phones had a unique element, even if it was small. One brought stock Android, one offered quality Dell hardware to a major carrier (I don't count AT&T's awful Dell Aero), and one packed smartphone features in a durable design. In comparison, AT&T has relied too much on the iPhone to hold up its smartphone family. Granted, Apple's device has brought the carrier unparalleled success, but that's come at the expense of other smartphone operating systems. Outside of the Motorola Atrix and AT&T's slightly better record with Windows Phone 7 devices (we prefer the Samsung Focus), the carrier didn't blow us away during the same period. On the upside, it had the HTC HD7S (a close relative of T-Mobile's HD7), the HTC Inspire 4G, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 (RIM's first handset with OS 6), and the Samsung Infuse, but it also saddled us with the Motorola Flipout, HP Veer, and Sony Ericsson Vivaz.
It's interesting, though, that T-Mobile hasn't always taken such risks. Quite the contrary, actually. For much of the carrier's early life, its device lineup was decidedly unimpressive and it took a long time to deploy 3G. Sure, it had its unique Sidekick series and a fair selection of BlackBerry and Windows Mobile smartphones, but most of its handsets were functional and relatively unremarkable. But then, as the iPhone blew into AT&T, T-Mobile responded with alternatives. It introduced the first Android phone just over a year later, and after a selection of duds (hello, Samsung Behold II), it showed its carrier rivals exactly what Android could do. AT&T, meanwhile, waited until March 2010 to jump on the Android train with the awkward Motorola Backflip. The carrier was late to Google's OS and it still shows.
T-Mobile also had a leading role in making HTC a handset player in the United States. Its earliest HTC handsets like the MDA and SDA would be beyond clunky by today's standards, but they offered something new when they debuted in 2006. Cingular also dabbled in HTC at the time with the 2125 and related handsets, but T-Mobile grabbed HTC and ran with it. The carrier offered a Motorola Q alternative that same year with the Dash and quickly followed with the Wing, Shadow, Dash 3G, and eventually the G1. If T-Mobile hadn't invested in HTC so heavily, perhaps another carrier would have. But I suspect that we'd be missing out on some excellent devices today.
Keep it coming
I'm not saying AT&T has a poor smartphone lineup. In fact, the carrier offers a lot to like. But when compared with T-Mobile, its lineup over the last year is less innovative, offers less choice, and is, frankly, much safer. Yes, it has the iPhone, but Apple's device is just one handset in a crowded field. It doesn't automatically trump every other smartphone on the market and there are many people who won't even consider it. For those people and everyone else, T-Mobile is doing a better job. I don't know where T-Mobile gets its focus, but it's made the carrier a smartphone leader. And if the merger goes through, I'm concerned we'll see its position disappear.

Air Guitar Move for iPhone G 5 Mobile
In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.
We're not sure proper air guitarists would ever consider adding a bonafide pick to their cherished imaginary pastime, but what if a petite plastic plectrum could turn those strokes into stringed acoustics that more than just you can hear? That's the idea behind Air Guitar Move, a $50 motion-sensing guitar pick that pairs with a dedicated iPhone app using a single dock-connected string. The minds behind Move aren't new to product design -- Colin Karpfinger created Thumbies, a suction cup-based gaming control accessory for iPhone, and Ronald Mannak has launched other freestyle electronic toys, including the V-Beat AirDrums and AirGuitar -- so if they meet their $25,000 funding goal, we imagine that we'll have a very solid iPhone accessory on our hands.
A $39 pledge gets you a single Move with a 20 percent discount, and a pledge of $49 will net you a pick from the first shipment, so you'll be strumming away a month before folks in the first group. The creators have yet to commit to a ship date, but head over to Kickstarter if you'd like to make a pledge, or jump past the break for the intro video and an update on our last featured product, ZionEyez.
