Record sound of your friends on your Pocket PC

July 3rd, 2008 by hn

Many mobile users would like to record music or speech, with respect to quality, length, portability or power consumption: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Speex, WAV and RAF. There is an application that can do all with just One button. It lets you record anytime just by pressing one button.

 

All DSP filters use the most effective algorithms designed especially for ARM architecture: Equalizer, Real VAS, Noise filter and Gain control, Convert WAV to MP3, RAF to WAV, SPX to MP3, … everything is possible. Browse the folder with your music and tap the Play button. Playback will start and with "Auto Play Next" enabled all songs within the folder will be played. Simple, isn’t it?

 

Create, rename, delete, copy, move, send, beam, sort and organize files and folders. It has all you need. Recorder"Record and organize every incoming or outgoing call." Program startup and recording of whole phone call. Store to a special subfolder and name the recorded file with caller/callee’s name. Scheduled recording or playback"Reliable recording and playback at desired time." Who would ever think that we have even a wakeup alarm inside? Set startup time at 7:00 AM for every day from Monday to Friday and choose a song to be waken with.

 

Adding a bookmark during recording or playback is easy. But did you know that you can jump to first 9 bookmarks using keyboard numbers 1-9? Seeking was never easier. Falling asleep along with your lovely music. The program will stop and turn the PDA off after certain time (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes).

Smartphone users wish to have iPhone 3G

July 2nd, 2008 by hn




Who can wait for the iPhone 3G to hit market? I guess no one now. As the price has dropped and it is going to be more economical for the people. It seems most of the US smartphone consumer market is thinking along those same lines. RBC Capital Markets has just released the results of a study that indicates a majority of consumers in the market for a new smartphone are seriously considering the iPhone 3G as their handset of choice.

 

 

The study, which surveyed 3,600 RBC Technology Adoption Panel members after Apple’s iPhone 3G unveiling at WWDC earlier this month, showed that a full 56% of mobile consumers looking to buy a new smartphone in the next 90 days planned to buy and iPhone 3G after its July 11 launch.

 

The results offer a glimpse in to the blooming smartphone market in the US. Just this past March, RBC conducted a similar survey to estimate potential iPhone 3G interest. The study was conducted prior to Apple revealing the surprisingly low iPhone 3G price-point - and showed that only 35% of consumers planned to buy the iPhone 3G.

 

It seems that the $199 admission price for the iPhone 3G-show has hit a sweet spot among consumers. With an entry-level iPhone 3G costing little more than a few tanks of premium gas, interest has increased significantly.

 

And, more encouraging for Apple, the RBC study showed that only 23% of smartphone buyers were waiting it out for a new BlackBerry handset in the next 90 days. Palm limped in with a 3% planned buying-share. HTC, Nokia, and Samsung managed to swing 2% of the votes their way, while Motorola barely managed to convince 1% of respondents that theirs was the smartphone to own.

 

So, the iPhone 3G is set to take the US smartphone market by storm - that much is clear - but why? The lower price-point and faster 3G data access were indicated as the most compelling reasons to buy the Apple handset, with 67% and 63% of survey respondents indicating such aspects as most-important in their buying-decision. The addition of GPS was listed as most-important to 47% of survey participants, while 35% and 20% place a premium on enterprise support and third-party applications, in that order.

Creative Zen X-Fi has all what you won’t find in iPhone and Zune

June 30th, 2008 by hn

Creative has a better answer to the iPod touch and Zune. Creative is up with a wireless music player with Wi-Fi media sharing capabilities called the Zen X-Fi. As it can be seen in pictures those show the device sporting a chrome-and-black plastic look that’s vaguely reminiscent of the iPhone, along with a nine-point directional pad. Besides certain Internet features, X-Fi will also come with an SD card slot and a built-in speaker.

 According to leaked specs, the nine-point pad will offer users the option of instant messaging on Windows Live or Yahoo Messenger in a phone-style typing schema. The device will also use wireless to share media between home networked computers and access an Internet-based media pool, called a Public Home Server.

The player is named after Creative’s X-Fi audio technology, which restores lost data in compressed music files to create concert-like audio effects. Users can turn to two X-Fi options—Crystalizer makes audio richer and clearer, and Expand repositions the music to sound like it’s coming from in front of you, simulating listening to a live performance on stage.

Motorola launches its Blaze with touchscreen

June 30th, 2008 by hn

We can observe the fact that touchscreen mobiles are being bombarded by OEMs. This technological advancement seems to be getting more and more interesting. The latest to hit the open, or at least leaked status is the Motorola Blaze, which seems to be a mix-match of already announced phones. While it does have a good look, we cannot help to feel that the large plastic covering is somewhat reminiscent of an old and outdated PDA design. 

While a full touchscreen device, the Blaze is not a smartphone and will be running a custom OS for Verizon, however, it still does offer a decent set of specs. The Blaze will feature haptic feedback, a 2-megapixel camera, EV-DO Rev. A support, GPS, Bluetooth, MobileTV. As of now we can be pretty sure, thanks to the big Verizon logo of where the Blaze is headed, but we are still left wondering how much it will retail for and when it will become available. Hopefully, the Blaze will fall on the lower end of the pricing spectrum.

Keep searching for another image of the Blaze. Try Youpark for latest mobile games.

Mercedes Benz offers iPhone integration

June 23rd, 2008 by hn

Mercedes Benz has always been a trend setter when it comes to technology. If technology was already there and introduced by someone else, benz never thought about being bad to adopt good things in its own way. A lot of cars, whether they be budget-minded econoboxes or high-end luxury utility vehicles, seem to have an option for iPod integration these days, so Mercedes-Benz is going a little further by offering iPhone integration. It’s an optional accessory, but the iPhone dock allows you to control just about everything on the iPhone through steering wheel controls and the in-dash touchscreen display.
