Sony's just announced a latest E-Series Walkman, the E350. Available in blue, red or black, these bad boys come in both 4GB and 8GB varieties. Simple players, they proffer up to 50 hours of music playback, and up to ten hours of video, and hold a variety of formats. additional than that -- well, there's not much more than that. If you can't wait to get your hands on one, well you'll have to wait until next month, but it will cost you $70 for the 4GB and $80 for the 8GB version once available at Sony Style.

Rumor: AppleTV Renamed iTV, Will Have Apps but No 1080p Playback video
According to an Engadget basis—the same one that said the next AppleTV would be a $99 unit with iPhone guts—Apple's next TV device will be rebranded iTV. And it will have apps, but it won't play 1080p video.
That final bit has apparently been a point of contention for Apple, but apparently the new unit's internals—reportedly an A4 CPU and 16GB of flash storage, can't quite handle 1080p or 1080i playback. The basis says that the iTV will bring apps to televisions, though there's still no information on how that will work, or if it will be able to run apps designed for the iPad or iPhone.
While the idea of apps on the TV seems like a grand get through in (d)evolution of the Couch Potato, it'd certainly be a bummer if Apple's new push into the living room couldn't play our biggest and best files. And I still want amazing like this.

iPhone 4 jailbreak enables FaceTime video calling more 3G
We had really already hacked up a 3G FaceTime video call using an iPhone 4 and a MiFi, but now that Apple's newest handset has been jailbroken, you can toss the extra hardware, you just need a little Cydia app called My3G, which lets you run WiFi apps over 3G. FaceTime video quality appears to be unchanged, but from what we have seen the framerates experience depending on your connection attractive much what you'd expect to get when running a video flow optimized for high-bandwidth connections on a smaller pipe. Still, it is right away the best reason to jailbreak your phone check a video after the break. See the below video:

New iMacs Core i3 review
There is nothing externally different about the new iMacs Apple just released last Tuesday, but the hardware beneath that familiar aluminum chassis has gotten faster -- particularly on the low end, where a new 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor and separate ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics chip have in use over for the previous gen's 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo and included NVIDIA GeForce 9400m. That's a big boost Apple claim the new version is some 50 percent faster -- and so we really turned down the hot-rod 27-inch 2.93GHz Core i7 iMac in favor of a stock $1,199 21.5-inch Core i3 when it came time to pick up a review unit. We required to see just how much bang Apple's delivering for the entry-level buck, and we weren't frustrated when the tests came back.

All eyes on RIM in smartphone face-off
Analysts say, Tuesday’s announcement is critical for company’s long-term achievement.
Tuesday is the day for Research in Motion – as in “do or die” day – say technology analysts, who consider the Waterloo, Ont.-based BlackBerry maker needs to fight back against lost smartphone market share to Apple and Google. While detail are scarce, RIM and U.S. carrier AT and T have called a news conference in New York City for Tuesday. It’s believed they will unveil the long-rumoured BlackBerry Bold 9800, their first “slider-style” smartphone that not only has a touchscreen but a glide-out QWERTY keyboard for messaging.
According to MobileCity Online, a web store that is already taking preorders for the smartphone, the Bold 9800 will feature a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of onboard storage, A-GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11n and a camera/camcorder. Cyberspace is also abuzz about the opportunity of RIM unveiling an iPad-like tablet that would run on its BlackBerry 6 OS, as well. In fact, the company has already registered the domain name called blackpad.com.
RIM is also expected to show off App World 2.0, a redesigned online store with enhanced navigation and additional bells and whistles. Levy said Apple and Google’s Android platform are “gaining fast,” with mutual operating systems that account for almost half of all smartphones sold in Canada and the U.S.
RIM’s share of the smartphone market cut down from 55 per cent in early 2009 to roughly 41 per cent in the first quarter of 2010, according to leading technology market research firm Gartner Inc. By comparison, the BlackBerry App World has only about 7,000 apps – plus, they’re usually more expensive than the iPhone and Android contributions, and more difficult to sift through.
Levy said Tuesday’s declaration is “critical.”
He said, “It’s difficult to understate just how critical this launch is to the very survival of the company”.

Nokia Kinetic model exposed in prototype form
Impressed by Jeremy Innes-Hopkins Nokia Kinetic idea the other day? Then take a high-quality look at the image above. This is the actual prototype of the device, which unfortunately doesn't power on (or have anything to power on), but it look extraordinarily like the previous renders we have seen, and gives us a far better idea of the scale of the device. In case you missed it, the real clip of the concept is an electromagnet in the phone's base that allows it to stand up on reminder, and be flipped down to release an action, like an alarm or a video call. We also know that now Innes-Hopkins worked on the project at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London under the guidance of former Nokia Senior Designer Silas Grant, who was responsible for many of Nokia's first-class phones like the 8800 Scirocco. Beat up the gallery below for a closer look.
Update: Just to be real clear. This is not an actual Nokia theory, but a project completed by Innes-Hopkins for his final year at university -- so don't get your hopes up about it ever going into manufacture.

Apple get an Online Mapping Company
Apple owns an online mapping company called Poly9 almost without anyone knowing it. Poly9 offered a 3D globe that companies could put on their websites for a fee. Even though the Poly9 globe can be seen on customer’s websites, the service has been discontinued.
Similar to Google Earth, the Poly9 globe was built on JavaScript and that means the technology might be compatible with Apple’s recent evangelism of HTML5. Right now, there isn’t any confirmation from either Apple or Poly9, but the website has been unchanged, as well as, the Twitter feed, some are saying that is sign enough there have been changes.
Other sources are saying the main offices have been closed and just about every single employee has moved to California’s Silicon Valley, where Apple is located. This is actually the second purchase by Apple, of a geo-technology site. Last year Apple purchased Place base, which is also an online mapping service.
Picking up a couple of these sites will no doubt give Apple a boost against Google and Microsoft, who have been making their own investments in mapping and location based services. Apple has also been ramping up its data center capacity so they can offer more robust online services and web applications.

Methods to Install Flash on your jailbroken iPad
We just saw Flash 10.1 ported to the iPad established in video form by Comex, and now you can get in on the action too, as long as your iPad is jailbroken. It is called Flash, and while the plugin is still pretty early and does not do video playback yet, you can absolutely play games and other animations right now, and we're told video support is forthcoming. Full instruction we are provided:
1. First Confirm your iPad is jailbroken. It is pretty easy, just run Spirit and you are done.
2. Download Flash.deb and keep it close.
3. Choose how you are going to get files onto your iPad. For Mac users, it is dead simple -- just install Netatalk, which will manually pop up your iPad in the Finder's Sharing list. But Windows users can try out this guide at iClarified to get OpenSSH installed and running and use WinSCP -- it's just as easy.
4. Once you have got access to the iPad's filesystem, navigate to /var/root/Media as shown here:
5. Previously there, open Media and create a folder called "Cydia."
6. Then Open the new Cydia folder and create another new folder called "Auto Install"
7. Upload Flash to that new folder.
8. Restart your iPad a couple of times.
9. You are set! Now just navigate to a page in Safari with non-video Flash content and knock the F logo to play it.

iPhone 4G got troubles from a Mathematical Erroneous formula
iPhone 4G is again set in the first page. Some consumers complained about poor signal quality of the iPhone 4G. Apple has come to step out of the analysis against the signal problems of new mobile iPhone 4G and, on this time, pointed out that the low coverage is due to “an erroneous formula” useful to signal strength. In a statement of the company says the apple he was “amazed” by this discovery, which will attempt to resolve through the recommendations of the U.S. Telecommunications Company AT & T.
Our formula, in many cases, it incorrectly shows two bars of power more than they should for a existing signal of iPhone 4G. For example, occasionally shows four bars when it should display only two, says Apple. Conversely, the company said that if users are not ‘fully satisfied’ with the new iPhone 4G device, they can return the damaged iPhone 4 at any Apple store, also in the on-line, and recover the payment if within 30 days after purchase.
A large number of users have previously reported two weeks ago to hold the iPhone 4G with his hand and seal the base left corner moved out coverage at times and was unable to receive phone calls. The supposed solution for iPhone 4G antenna problem was projected by the Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, just hold it differently or buy a case. These statements motivated the response of a Club of lefties in the UK, expressed his disagreement with the policies of the company’s iPhone 4G.
Interestingly as Apple said, the announcement, these coverage problems also occur in earlier versions of the terminal: iPhone 1.0, 3G and 3G and now iPhone 4G, though it was not pending the arrival of this fourth manifestation of the terminal.

iPad burst out past Android in usage share
According to the data collected by web metrics firm Net Applications, the iPad OS has bursted past Android in conditions of usage share in three months. The Collected data’s are,
• March 2010: Android: 0.07% | iPad: 0.00%
• April 2010: Android: 0.09% | iPad: 0.03%
• May 2010: Android: 0.11% | iPad: 0.09%
• June 2010: Android: 0.14% | iPad: 0.17%
Consider, this is a usage share, not market share, and since the Android platform has hugely outsold the iPad, this is a suggestion of how much browsing iPad owners do. As an iPad owner myself, I can give evidence to just how easy it is to while away the hours browsing on the thing.

Comparison of Motorola Droid X vs iPhone 4
The newly released iPhone 4 is having some troubles in the press at the moment and may face some resistance from the new Droid X. If Apple do not resolve these iPhone 4 problems, unsure likely customers may move over to Motorola’s new Droid X as their communication device of option. There are some similarities and differences to think. This includes the operating system iOS 4.0 from Apple and the alternating Android 2.1, complete with Moto blur from Motorola. Apple’s iOS4 is a proprietary operating system, and only allows software that is first accepted by Apple, and made available from Apple’s online store. In the meantime, however, Android is an open source platform, and allows developers to freely develop new software and plug-ins for the operating system.
The memory from the iPhone is 512MB in the Droid X. The iPhone 4 weights 4.8 ounces, while the Droid X is 5.4 ounces.The iPhone keyboard is onscreen. The Droid X also utilize an onscreen keyboard, but also takes gain of SWYPE technology. Mostly, SWYPE allow users to drag their finger across the screen, touching all of the letters that fit in in a particular word, without lifting their finger. This device then automatically detects the word that the user was “swyping.”
On-board storage has iPhone as an easy winner with a choice of either 16GB or 32GB, even as its rival only offers one option of 8GB. The Droid X, though, comes with a 16GB MicroSD card built-in, bumping its default storage capacity to 24GB. Storage hungry users can also upgrade the microSD card, making the DroidX capable of conduct more overall data storage than the iPhone4.
Screen size gives the iPhone 3.5 inches, and 4.3 inches from the Droid, clearly making the Droid X a better choice for users that need lots of screen real estate. The Screen resolution, however, is far better from the iPhone 4 with 640 x 960 pixels, compared to 480 x 854 pixels. Compare to cameras, the iPhone 4 offers a 5MP camera with LED flash, at the same time Droid X offers an 8MP camera with a dual LED flash. The iPhone 4 offers a touch-to-focus feature, while the Droid X repeatedly focuses on human faces.Both phones have inspiring specs and features. but, the iPhone 4’s recent trouble is it will be interesting to see how many consumers opt for the Droid X vs the iPhone 4.

How To utilize Google Voice On iPhone 4
Google opened up Google Voice to every person nowadays. While there is still no dedicated application for the iPhone, don't let that stop you. Here's how to use Google Voice with the iPhone 4 as follows:
First remember the big message between Apple, AT&T and Google over the Google Voice iPhone app through the summer of 2009? The FCC doesn’t make any real decisions between Apple, AT&T and Google, but that doesn't mean Google has been sitting around waiting for the FCC to make up its mind. In starting of this year January, Google launched a new version of the Google Voice application that Apple doesn’t able to approve (or disapprove). Why? Because it is used from the iPhone's browser. Since it workings in Safari, which means it will work from the iPhone 4 too.
The HTML5-powered Web app will let iPhone users access Google Voice without the need for a third-party application. The new Web application will work on iPhones using OS 3.0 and up. In this version of Google Voice will also work with Palm's web OS devices. The Google Voice disaster extended last year when Apple first accepted a Google Voice application from Google and then later pulled it. Many of they believed that it was pulled from the iPhone Apps Store at the request of AT&T. Google Voice lets users make cheaper long-distance calls and forward calls to several other numbers. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission opened an inquiry of sorts and asked all the companies involved for an explanation of why the application was removed. The results of that investigation have still not yet been exposed, 10 months later.
If you Want to use Google Voice with your iPhone 3G, 3GS or your iPhone 4? Visit m.google.com/voice in your mobile browser.The Web-based app certainly doesn't work as well as the more fully-featured Google Voice for Android application, but it gets the fundamentals done in a pinch. Google says, "For fast access to the most significant features like 'Dialer', 'Compose SMS', 'Inbox' or 'Contacts,' you can easily add shortcuts to your iPhone home screen or Palm Launcher. So cheap calls and messaging will be just a one touch away. "

This trouble could be resolve with the iPhone 4G and features a battery 16 per cent larger than the one found in the iPhone 3GS. Which will be crucial for one of the most talked-about original features.
Multitasking: The iPhone 4G will run the new iPhone operating system, iPhone OS 4 (same as iPhone 3G and 3GS users, and owners of the most recent models of the iPod touch). The main key features of the new software is multitasking. The capacity to run multiple apps at the same time and switch easily among them.

A subject of philosophy : Google v Apple
In this two companies used to be best partners. One CEO was even on the board of the other firm. But now a days Google appears to be sneering at Apple almost every day. The motive is simple - after days when they had very special ambitions, the two are now challenging on the same position. With machine, Google has previously made a land-grab for leadership in the smartphone business, yesterday it made clear its ambitions to advance on Apple's digital music and video territory.
Google TV is a somewhat hazy plan to combine television and the web, which will see Google grant the software and likes Sony and Logitech make hardware. In music, Google plans to initiate one of the deficiencies of machine phones, the trickiness of getting easy admission to your digital music album, which is still much easier with an iPhone. It's beginning an Android music store in the darken, with an easy choice to sync your music wirelessly to your phone.
Google is determined to paint a picture of itself as the friendly, open huge which just wants to help content owners and users meet each other to the profit of all. Apple's idea is that for most consumers, ease of use is the top priority, and they're happy to hand over some control to the company if that's going to make the products easier to use. So far, that strategy seems to be working with sales of the locked-down iPhone and iPad booming. But Google believes it can draw a far bigger crowd.

iPhone Top Device Downloading
iPhone and iPod Touch users download entertainment content and applications than users of Internet-connected game consoles and Blu-ray players. 75% of users of the Apple devices download software, music, video, games, and other Web content compared to 19% of game console users and 17% of Blu-ray disk player owners, the NPD Group found in a survey of Americans released Tuesday. generally, 16% of people age 13 and elder are using devices other than their home computers to download Web content.
"Music now competes with games and other apps for share of device, share of wallet, and share of time," Crupnick said. "Entertainment companies need to start to think of apps in broader terms, not only as a way of garnering direct sales from downloads, but also as a pathway to paying for additional entertainment content." For example, an application that reviews movies could also be used to sell DVDs, Blu-ray disks, or movie downloads. NPD's America survey was based on responses from more than 10,350 U.S. consumers age 13 or older.
"It is not shocking that Apple users are ahead of others when it comes to downloading Web-based content, given the breadth of the company's app catalog and the head start iTunes had selling music for the iPod. As Internet-connected devices become added common place and the number of online request stores increases. Really in February, ABI reported that the Apple iPhone misplaced market share in the fourth quarter of 2009, as smartphone rivals Motorola and Nokia gained share. Among iPhone and iPod Touch users who download content, free applications from Apple's App Store are the most popular download category, followed by games and music. Among game- relieve users, game add-ons were the most fashionable category, followed by entire games and movie rentals. Movies were the most popular download among the third of Blu-ray player users who linked their devices to the Internet.
