Palm hands on video

.

Palm Pre promises to bring ailing Palm back from the depths of financial ruin. With its innovative design, high-end feature-set, and intuitive UI (courtesy of Palm’s other new product, the Web OS), the palm Pre has the potential to rock the smartphone world, redefining what it means to be connected to the web and how you manage all the information sources in your daily life.

No longer will your business and personal lives need to be separated, the Palm Pre integrates all aspects of your life in an easy-to-use platform that’s still powerful and flexible enough to take your virtual office with you.

Palm Synergy is possibly the coolest feature of the Web OS.

Enter your Facebook credentials and Synergy will search out all your contacts and automatically add them to your contacts list - complete with profile information (like phone numbers and email addresses) as well as pictures. 

Synergy can also draw contact information from multiple sources, like other social networks.


Another interesting feature is the universal search tool. Simply bring up the search box and start typing for whatever you need - food, a contact, and email, a song, or a movie theater - and Universal Search will automatically scour your device for appropriate content. If the Web OS can’t find anything on your Palm Pre that matches your search, it’ll search Google, Wikipedia, or even offer to map the location for you.

Oh, and then there’s the 3.1-inch capacitance touchscreen that’s just a joy to use. Combined with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and the gesture-control area directly below the display, the Palm Pre offers intuitive navigation and sleek design. 

But, it doesn’t stop there. Oh no, not in the least.


The Palm Pre sports a 3 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, EVDO Rev. A data connection (3G), 8GB of on-board storage, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a super-fast CPU based on the OMAP3 architecture (the Palm Pre is the first mobile phone to use the processor , in fact).

We’re looking for the Palm Pre to hit market in the first half of 2009 (1H 2009). And there are rumblings about the Sprint subsidized pricing coming in around $400 on contract, but we’re not going to hold our breath. Palm would do well to get this little baby out as quickly as possible.

Needless to say, we’re enamored with the Palm Pre. We’ve already offered a sacrificial intern to the Palm reps in exchange for a early review unit - it would be totally worth it.

Latest leaked of the samsung galaxi SIII

Curious about the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S III which will be introduced on May 3, 2012. Check out the video below. Samsung Galaxy S III in the video above is the usual test units were distributed to wholesalers or operator to test the device. And it looks like the final design of theGalaxy S III will not be as shown in this video.

For hardware specifications, Samsung Galaxy S III will be powered by a 1.4GHzquad core processors and GPU Mali-400MP (same as on the Galaxy S II), SuperAMOLED screen measuring 4.6 inches with a resolution of 720p, 8 megapixelcamera, 16GB internal memory, NFC, and the battery capacity of 2050mAh.

Samsung Galaxy S

The Samsung Galaxy S is a smartphone with several bells and whistles and a beautiful display. With 4G capabilities, video chat, the Android 2.2 operating system and a 4-inch display, this cellphones offers the features you want in a smartphone. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t offer anything extraordinary to set it apart from other advanced cellphones

A 4-inch touchscreen display is a key feature on this cell phone. The touchscreen is large and is ideal for video chats, playback of video or simply surfing the internet. The screen is responsive and the keys on the virtual keyboard are large and easy to press. Unfortunately, you may notice some little lag time after pressing the virtual keys or while opening programs.

The AMOLED display is beautiful and with 480 x 800 pixel resolution, images come to life. The resolution on this display screen is high enough you can see the image’s details, and it makes watching movies, TV shows or even playing games much more enjoyable.

Video chat capabilities are available through the application QIK and the front-facing camera. Using these two features, you can chat with anyone, anywhere around the word. If you're using the 4G network, the video chats are quick with few problems during a video call. When using a 3G network, you may experience several more complications.

We were disappointed to see a 5MP (megapixel) camera available on the device. This camera takes adequate photos, but for higher quality, we would like to see at least an 8MP camera included on the Samsung Galaxy S. There are HD recording capabilities which worked well, and there is a 4x digital zoom available to enhance the quality of your photos and video.

This smartphone excels at being a regular cell phone. The Galaxy provides all the features you need for placing and receiving calls. There are conference-calling capabilities along with call holding. You can look through your call history and see calls that you dialed, received or missed, along with the duration of each phone call. There is call waiting, and you can give your contacts personalized pictures and ringtones.

The Samsung Galaxy S offers enough battery life to make it through a day on a single battery charge as long as you aren't constantly using it. This smartphone provides up to 390 minutes of talk time on a single battery charge. This means battery can quickly drain if displays are active or a phone call is in progress.

There is plenty of memory available to store all your photos, videos and music on this cell phone. There is 32GB of available memory, which gives you plenty of room for your important documents and your entertainment media.

There aren’t any significant features that are unique to this smartphone. However, all features perform excellently with few problems. The Android 2.2 operating system makes the user interface simple to use for those new to Android or for the experienced user. The operating system makes it possible for you to customize your separate homescreens or turn your device into a mobile hotspot. This means you can provide wireless internet for up to five separate devices at once.(http://cell-phones.toptenreviews.com)

Nokia Asha 302 review and specifications

The Nokia Asha 302 comes between the Asha 300 and the Asha 303 in Nokia's updated featurephone lineup, but it doesn't quite follow the numerical order. Although obviously not a smartphone, this S40 messenger is almost halfway there. It aims to bring good connectivity and more than reasonable processing power without unnecessarily complicating the interface.

Touchscreen and dual-SIM support are the two extremes in the Asha lineup but the Nokia Asha 302 sticks to the middle, finding balance and confidence in robust functionality and good build quality. It's a value package with plenty to offer to many potential upgraders looking to replace their S30 or S40 phones.

The Asha 302 is compatible with any GSM network worldwide and features both 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. It makes sure your email, Facebook and Twitter accounts are never more than just a click away. That's where the QWERTY keyboard is most welcome too. On the outside, a side-mounted memory card slot and metal accents make the best out of a classic messenger design. Here's what goes on inside.

Key features

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• Penta-band 3G with 14Mbps HSDPA and 5.76Mbps HSUPA
• Asha S40 platform
• Four-row hardware QWERTY keyborad
• 2.4" QVGA 256K-color TFT display
• 1GHz processor
• 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM
• 3 megapixel fixed-focus camera
• VGA video recording at 15fps
• Wi-Fi b/g/n
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• Bluetooth v2.1 (with A2DP)
• Standard microUSB port (charging enabled)
• USB On-The-Go support
• microSD card slot (32 GB supported, 2GB included)
• 3.5mm audio jack

Main disadvantages

• No multitasking
• Fixed-focus camera
• No smart dialing
• No video-call camera
• No document viewer

So, the Nokia Asha 302 is raising the stakes in the low-cost telephony but makes sure it doesn't get into fights it cannot win. Halfway between a Nokia C3 and an E63, it looks on the safe side of the line. We cannot think of a better example to follow than the immensely popular Nokia C3 but it should be aware of the potential pressure of affordable smartphones - Symbian and android alike.

HTC One X for AT&T review

With its international sibling receiving accolades left and right, it is time for the AT&T exclusive, LTE sporting HTC One X to take the stage. While the newcomer has retained the gorgeous looks of the global version, it is yet another case of a character makeover, received prior to crossing the Atlantic. In order to get along with AT&T's LTE network, the US residing HTC One X sports a Qualcomm chipset and CPU, rather than the NVIDIA silicon featured in the globally available smartphone.

The HTC One X for AT&T packs Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon S4 chipset, featuring two Krait CPU cores, clocked at 1.5GHz. While this is quite a sharp departure from the quad-core sporting Tegra 3 from NVIDIA, it is the only way to enjoy LTE on the smartphone at the moment. And besides, our previous encounter with the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, packed in the HTC One S, clearly showed that, due to its brand new architecture, it stacks up quite well, and even outperforms the Tegra 3 silicon at times.

Here goes the full list of features, which the HTC One X for AT&T has to offer, followed by some of its disadvantages.

Key features

• Quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G support
• CAT3 LTE network support
• 21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA
• 4.7" 16M-color Super LCD 2 capacitive touchscreen of HD resolution (720 x 1280 pixels); Gorilla glass
• Superb build quality
• Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with latest HTC Sense 4.0
• 1.5 GHz dual-core Krait CPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset
• 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of storage; 25GB of free Dropbox storage for 2 years
• 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash; face detection and geotagging
• 1080p and 720p video recording @ 30fps with stereo sound
• 720p front-facing camera for video-chat
• Wi-Fi b/g/n and DLNA
• GPS with A-GPS
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• Accelerometer, proximity sensor and auto-brightness sensor
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
• microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v4.0
• MHL TV-out (requires MHL-to-HDMI adapter)
• Smart dialing, voice dialing
• DivX/XviD video support
• HTC Locations app
• HTCSense.com integration
• HTC Portable Hotspot
• Office document editor
• Beats audio enhancements

Main disadvantages

• No microSD card slot, no alternative options in terms of storage
• No dedicated camera key
• Non-user-accessible battery

With the spec sheet ticking almost all the boxes, only the pickiest of users will find something to complain about. The HTC One X for AT&T is a proper Androidpowerhouse, ready to take on any competition.

The smartphone's weakest point will undoubtedly be the limited amount of built-in memory - it's non-expandable and 13 gigs worth of storage are not too likely to cut it for heavy users these days, considering the fact that graphic intensive video games easily hit the 700MB download mark. Not to mention the high-definition videos you might want to enjoy on that HD screen.

So, how much has the AT&T flavored HTC One X changed during its trip across the pond? Read on to find out. As always, we'll kick things off with an unboxing, followed by a design and build quality inspection.(gsmarena)

Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III vs. HTC One X

There's no battle to end all battles in this industry but there's no point either trying to reason with two deadly droids, armed with the latest technology. We have two of the season's hottest smartphones in combat mode and android supremacy is the prize. The HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S III are cast in the same mold and stand at the pinnacle of Android revolution. Two big, scary droids and room for only one.

The two flagships have a lot in common - both run heavily customized ICS on quad-core CPUs and pack huge 720p displays. There's more to these droids though - each tries to squeeze every drop of known technology for a feature set that goes way beyond what vanilla Android has to offer. The HTC One X has the advantage of a market headstart, impressing users with its build and finish, latest Sense UI and the ImageSense technology of its camera.

The delayed launch of the Galaxy S III seems to have let Samsung make sure their flagship can match the functionality of the One X down to the last spec - and even raise the ante.

Here's a quick glance at what each phone has in its favor:

HTC One X over Samsung Galaxy S III

• Impressive polycarbonate unibody
• Brighter IPS LCD2 screen with a full set of subpixels
• Beats Audio
• Already on the market
• Likely a bit cheaper

• Bigger screen - 4.8" over 4.7"
• Higher display contrast and better sunlight legibility
• More storage options- 16/32/64GB + microSD over non-expandable 32GB
• S Voice natural language commands and dictation
• S Beam for easy and fast file transfers
• User-accessible 2100mAh battery over non-removable 1800mAh battery
• 1.9MP front-facing camera with Smart Stay

We've reviewed the HTC One X and did a couple of previews of the Samsung Galaxy S III, so we know both phones fairly well. But it's still hard to pick a definite winner. Both are excellent phones, but there are tradeoffs to be made. For one, the polycarbonate body of the One X looks and feels cooler, but it locks away the battery and precludes memory expansion.

  
Samsung Galaxy S III • HTC One X

Many of the Galaxy S III advantages are software-related (S Voice, Smart stay, etc.) or narrow wins in terms of hardware (screen size, thickness). And it even gets more complicated with things like battery life. Sure, the S III has a bigger battery (2100mAh), but the Exynos chipset lacks the extra power-saving core of Tegra 3.(gsmarena)
