The ever growing demand for richer and sophisticated applications on mobile cell phone has greatly influenced the exponential growth in wireless communication. Even before the penetration of 2.5G in to the rural market already urbanites are counting days for full fledged 3G network with great expectation.

Many developed countries are already functioning with full stretched wings in 3G. In India government is yet to auction the bandwidth that 3G is demanding.

As 3G is having very large  bandwidth compared to its predecessors, consumers are expecting much luxurious services from it, such as high speed internet, video conferencing on move, high quality picture, online streaming video & audio etc. Nearly 5% of mobile users have already upgraded themselves with 3G handsets.

While service providers like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea cellular etc are still working out strategy for their legacy systems and infrastructure to fulfill consumers need, handset manufacturers like Nokia, LG, Kyocera, Fly and applications developers are already much ahead and racing towards 4G networks. Nokia N series is said to be the best suited mobile for 3G network in Indian market.

The application developers are using SDP and IMS for developing many multimedia applications suited to 3G and beyond.

But in spite of all these what needs to be seen is will service providers really meet the required/expected bandwidth for individual consumer?. There is a possibility that the extra bandwidth will be used to serve more number of customer with existing voice based services and limited VAS. But they may also introduce premium services with higher service charge to limited customer.

Hence its still a “wait and watch” scenario for end user whether he will be really able to enjoy the facilities what 3G has promised.

But for everything this digital Swiss Army Knife can do there’s an inevitable tradeoff: battery life.

While Apple has added a few clever battery-saving tricks — such as turning the screen off when you hold it up to your face to make a call — there are still a few things you can do to squeeze more life out of the smartphone (aside from buying a battery pack, of course).

A few suggestions:

* The iPhone’s built-in radios — such as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth — can be draining on the battery. Therefore, if you don’t need them, turn some of all of these radios off in the Settings options. That being said, if you like to surf the web, do so via Wi-Fi instead of cellular connectivity as it’ll be easier on the battery (and wallet).

* Dim the brightness on your iPhone using the slider, as the brighter you keep your screen, the faster it’ll eat away at your battery. Also, make sure the iPhone screen is set to turn off if it detects inactivity for a minute or two — this can be selected in the Auto-Lock area in the General Settings menu.

* Like a BlackBerry, the iPhone is capable of “push mail,” meaning your messages are pushed to the phone automatically instead of logging online to pull them down. But push mail can drain the battery faster since it’s constantly logging into your mail server to send you new messages. If you don’t need it, disable this “push” feature in the Settings area.

* Don’t leave your iPhone in extreme heat or cold, such as in a car for a long period of time, as it could compromise the battery life for your smartphone (and its overall longevity). Also, only charge up the iPhone only when you need it — not when it’s 80 percent charged.

* Finally, always download the latest software updates for the iPhone via iTunes, as Apple engineers always try to find new ways to extend battery life. You should be prompted with new software updates automatically, but it doesn’t hurt to click the “Check for Update” tab when in iTunes as a back-up.

*We supply all kinds of batteries such as replacement iPod Batteries, Apple, Creative, Canon, Fujifilm, Kodak, Nikon, Panasonic, Casio, JVC, Konica/Minolta, Kyocera/Yashica, Minolta, Olympus, Samsung, Sharp.

Research / IP companies: researching OLEDs, trying to get hold of important patents relating to OLED manufacture, OLED materials and related inventions. Chemical companies: mostly involved in OLED material production and IP OLED manufacturers: the actual panel makers OLED gadget companies or resellers: companies that embed OLEDs in their products (cell phones, TVs, etc.) or simply resell those panels.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there are competing techs within the OLED world – Polymer based OLEDs vs Small Molecules, for examples. So even if OLED are booming, it might be that not all OLED companies will benefit… Here are some suggestions for publicly traded OLED companies: Small companies, who focus on OLEDs are more risky, but the rewards here may be larger.

3. Nokia 6555 – Striking Display features

At first glance, Microsoft’s msn.com replacement looks surprisingly familiar. It has a search box in the middle of the screen, some links along the top to sign in or create an account and other links that access “images, videos, shopping, news, maps and travel.” So, upon first look, it seems that Microsoft spent 100 million dollars to create… Google! But this is really where the similarities stop.

Bing is livened up by a crisp background image that links to some interesting facts and videos about the pictures when you rollover certain areas. Neat, but it is not exactly going to make Bing the search engine of choice.

So how about their search results?

Search results are displayed in the same format as Google and even their results are similar. When I searched for “Kyocera Kansas City” Tekniq popped up as #1 on both search engines. But on Bing I was able to hover my mouse over a little symbol to the right of the results and see a text preview of the page and what the page links to. This little feature could be handy, but with high speed internet it’s probably just faster to click and go to the site to see it yourself.

So where does it really excel?

Bing may be similar in appearance and functionality to Google for searching, but where Bing really dazzles is with its other programs.

1. Bing Images

Bing allows for better image searching and displaying. You can customize the layout of the images and there is no flipping through pages to see more results, simply scroll down and more images appear.

Bing also has a “Show similar Images” link on every image. This is great for finding the type of image you want. So if you want an image of a person talking on a phone, you can type in “phone” and then find the image that you want and click “Show similar images” and you will see more like that image.

2. Bing Videos

Bing has a searchable video service that has video’s from YouTube, ABC, BBC and other sites. It also has a quick preview feature where you can roll over the video and it will start streaming it immediately so you can preview the video before even clicking on it.

3. Bing Shopping with cashback

Perhaps one of the best features that Bing has is their shopping feature. It is easy to use and similar to Google shopping but they have a cashback program that pays you up to 10% for buying from certain vendors.

Some of their prices seem to correspond to the wrong products, but one can only assume that it is because the service is new. If they fix this then why would you ever shop online any other way?

4. Bing Maps

Bing’s mapping feature is leftover from live.com. But if you have never checked it out, I think you may be impressed. It has great satellite and areal imagery that let you view your house from all four angles instead of just a bird’s eye view. It also has a plug-in that you can install to access true 3d mapping.

Though it doesn’t have an answer to Google Streets, it is still a nice tool and good in its own right.

Conclusion

Bing really does deliver some impressive features without losing what most love about Google. If Google doesn’t respond to some of these features by making changes of their own, then Bing may be something to reckon with. My guess is that Google responds in a big way and is able to leverage their name to once again increase their market. But for now, Bing may be the search engine of choice.

Brother MFC-685CW

Brother MFC-685CW is a pure multifunction printer and also inexpensive. The footprint of the machine is very less, with 18.4” width, 14.6” depth, and 7.1” height. The 10-page document feeder is flush with the lid of the scanner, thus saving lot of space. The PictBridge USB port and the 2 memory card slots are mounted in the front. A rare 3.3” widescreen color LCD control panel is provided in this machine to preview pictures on one side and information on the other side.

The message center allows you to play back or erase voice messages. The fax panel lets you preview, pause/redial, hold, and operate the speaker phone. The corded handset enables manual phone calls. The paper tray could hold 100 plain papers, while the dedicated photo tray could contain 20 sheets of 4×6 photo paper. The black brother ink cartridge tank provides about 500 pages, while the cyan, yellow, and magenta tanks offer about 400 pages each.

The multifunction printer comes with a scanner, copier, and fax functions, apart from a built-in answering machine. The fax options are highly sophisticated in this low-priced machine.

Canon Pixma MX700

Canon Pixma MX700 is a printer with fast operations and high quality output. The 1.8” color LCD panel is not fully sufficient for photo previewing but it is alright for other menus. The front paper input tray could hold 110 sheets of plain paper. The rear tray is recommended for photo paper or thin T-shirts. PictBridge port and memory cards are not provided in this printer. Further, the limited fax functions, as well as the other limited task speeds, make it fit only for light printing needs.

HP Officejet J6480

HP Officejet J6480 comes with lot of high-end hardware like autoduplexer, optical character recognition scanner, wireless setup, etc. Still, the machine does not have PictBridge support and fax functions are limited to three. The printer is slower and larger in size than other similar models. The trays do not fold into the body. If you need a very rugged multifunction printer that you would not move around very much, then you could opt for this machine.

Epson Artisan 800

Epson Artisan 800 is a machine for high quality photo prints and documents. The footprint is reasonably small and the output speed is the maximum, compared to other similar models. However, the software in the machine has got lot of bugs and work is continuously disrupted. The output tray is made of flimsy plastic and the input tray is also quite delicate and is prone to frequent paper jams.
Kodak ESP 5

Kodak ESP 5 comes with functions of printing, scanning, and copying. The photo editing software is a watered down version and not suitable for professional photo edit jobs. The printer also suffers from various mechanical errors and problems. The print speed is average and the graphics quality does not have high definition. Price is high for such a poor model.

Sony Ericsson offers the HCB-300 and HCB 700 Bluetooth car kit models, also highly rated.

A Bluetooth car kit comes with multiple functions and options that will suit just about any customer need. The most basic function controls within a Bluetooth car kit include but are not limited to volume, mute and voice activation capabilities as well as answer and end functions. Most models come with a stand-alone speaker, though many customers prefer to hook up the Bluetooth car kit to their vehicle speaker system. Many models automatically mute stereo systems, but check ahead of time to make sure this feature is available on the Bluetooth car kit model that you’re thinking of purchasing. Other models offer noise cancellation as well.

A Bluetooth car kit is compatible with just about every major brand of cell phones, computer brands and models out there, in addition to PDAs. Such compatible models include Blackberry LG, Audiovox, HP, iPAQ, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson brands. The leading Bluetooth car kit on the market today is the Motorola IHF1000. This model goes beyond just simple voice activation and allows the owner to voice dial numbers one at a time. The voice menu on most major brand of Bluetooth car kit systems allow users true hands free options when it comes to answering calls, dialing by name or via storage of over a dozen contacts, and dial by number on mobile phone keypad options. Most Bluetooth car kit systems come with keypads, directional microphone, module, wiring connectors and mounting hardware, everything you need for true, hands free communication.

The first commercial mobile ring tone was created and delivered in Finland in 1998. It was when a Finnish mobile operator Radiolinja had begun with their downloadable mobile ring tone service called Harmonium. The Harmonium comprised of tools for general public to create monophonic ring tones and a mechanism to deliver them over-the-air (OTA) via SMS to a mobile handset and to bill customer on their phone bill. These ringtones supported only one tone at a time at varying pitches. Most of the first generation mobile phones were embedded with this kind of monophonic ringtones. These ringtones were available in various formats depending on the phone model. One of the most common formats for monophonic ringtones was RTTTL, which was in a text format and could be sent over-the-air (OTA) to a mobile handset via SMS. Most of the initial versions of Nokia handset include ringtones in this format. Some of the cell phones also included melody composer software that enabled us to create our own ringtones with the help of “keypress editor”. At this stage, other manufacturers developed their own formats like eMelody and imelody by Ericsson, and KWS by Kyocera’s and many more.

After the monophonic phase, came in the polyphonic ringtones, which are embedded in almost all the recently launched handsets of major companies. These ringtones have been originated from Japan circa 2001. They are different from monophonic ringtones because they enable different types of notes to be played at the same time. These ringtones were most commonly found in MIDI formats. However, later on, other formats like SP-Midi and SMAF had also evolved.

Lastly, the third generation ringtones known as “truetones” or “realtones” are ringtones encoded with high fidelity formats such as MP3, AAC or WMA format. Truetones allow hi-fi recordings like vocals, to be used as a ringtone. The first format of truetones was AMR-WB, which were incorporated into Nokia handsets around 2004. This format allowed the extracts from the original recording or master track to be used as a ringtone, whereas the other two were purely instrumental. This is one of the reasons, why truetones have an edge over monophonic and polyphonic ringtones. It is also one of the medium used by the music industry to generate revenue, as extracts of the labels are often released as tones before the singles, in order to promote the album in the market.

Initially, ringtones were only available for download by the service providers and people were charged for it. But thanks to the World Wide Web, Bluetooth and infrared technologies, getting ringtones is a much simpler task now.

Satellite Internet
Satellite Internet connects between a satellite receiver on your roof and a orbiting satellites. In order to use satellite Internet, you generally only need a clear exposure to the Southern sky. The two primary service providers are HughesNet and WildBlue.

In most cases, you will be required to purchase and maintain the equipment (e.g. software updates). Satellite Internet is much faster than dialup Internet, however download and upload speeds may vary greatly, and there typically is a latency period which makes VPN or voice-over-IP (VoIP) connections impractical.

Furthermore, additional costs are typically incurred for antenna re-alignments or adjustments.

Pros: Much faster than dialup (20-40X faster). Only requires a clear sight of the southern sky. Available at any location, no matter how remote.

Cons: Latency period which makes VPN or voice-over-IP (VoIP) connections impractical. Static IP address may be unavailable or available for an additional charge. Speeds may vary greatly. Threshold limits imposed (e.g. daily or monthly maximum usage). May be affected by weather conditions.

Cost: Typical costs are $50-150/month. Equipment and installation costs $329-$600.

Cellular Phone Wireless (aka Mobile Broadband)
Several cell phone companies now offer high-speed wireless Internet via a cellular wireless card connected to your laptop. This cellular wireless card is not the same as a laptop wireless card used to connect to a home router or wifi network at a hotspot location (e.g. Starbucks).

A cellular wireless card works like dialup Internet access, but uses your cell phone to connect to the Internet. Cell phone wireless gives you the flexibility of connecting to the Internet from anywhere where you have cell phone signal. Speeds are much faster than dialup but you cannot “share” your connection with other users, and you may incur per-minute charges (depending on the plan you select).

Pros: Much faster than dialup (20-50X faster). Available at any location where you have cell phone coverage. Great for mobile professionals (e.g. realtors, field operators, etc.).

Cons: Internet connections drop (just like regular cell phone calls do). Cannot share the Internet connection with other computers. May incur per-minute charges (depending on the plan you select).

Cost: Typical costs are $50-150/month. Setup fees may be required.
