Technology & Gadgets

Archive for October, 2009

When it comes to keep ourselves up-to-date with the gadget especially handphone, really we need to accept the fact that we cannot fullfil our desire. New handphones keep coming with function improvement and no way that we can have a brand new handphone everytime there is a new release. But for now, I would say that if you bought the iPhone from Apple, it would be a precious and time-resistant handphone/smartphone maybe for next 2 years to come. Are you agree with me? Hehehe

The hand phone that I select today is not from Apple, it is BlackBerry Curve which I think worth to have it. The size appearance are;

• Size (LWH): 4.29 inches, 2.36 inches, 0.53 inches
• Weight: 3.87654320987654 ounces

The interesting part is, the keypad or we can say the KEYBOARD is full QWERTY and it was announced to be the thinnest keyboard. You can access the internet to view emails, web and all related to the internet conveniently like surfing in front of the desktop PC using that keyboard with 480 x 360-pixel LCD screen. It has a Wi-Fi connectivity for this purpose. But I would say that for people that have tiny fingers, it would be very convenient to use the keypad but if not, you cannot use that small keypad in an efficient way.

Not to highlight about the digital camera but I must say that the fact is the camera comes with 3.2 megapixel with flash and video capture and the storage is expandable up to 16GB through MicroSD memory. Other features are;

**Synchronizable with Microsoft Outlook: stay to your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook

**Editing of Microsft Office application such as word, Excel and Power Point. It is just same with the desktop PC, the option of copy-paste, font and size; just to name few

**You can synchronize iTunes files with your BlackBerry Curve!

**RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds support: With RSS, you don’t need to check important websites for updates, new content can be pushed to you automatically.

**Not to forget the conventional features of sending and receiving text and picture messages (SMS and MMS)

**Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR with the following profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), PBA (transfer contacts)

As Apple launched their iPod last time, the mp3 player industry seem to be dominated by them. Adding to that fact, the emerging technology implementation on the handphone that have everything in it including the mp3 player, the single function gadget of mp3 was left behind.

The idea of mp3 player was so nevel at time as it is handy, and easy to use; replacing the cd and cassette player. To make it revolutionary, the mp4 player invented together with mp3 and somehow attarct a lot of attention from youngsters. As iPod also have this function, other manufacturer need to compete with them and most of the strategy is to compete in term of price. Just found and mp4+mp3 with a very cheap price compared to iPod and for me the features are comparable with iPod.

It is really an affordable mp3+mp4 player. The screen is wide enough and for me the expandable memory by SDMemory is the best feature available adding to the standard features such as FM radio and record-ability. For those who can’t affod to but iPod or Creative Muvo, just try Sansa from SanDisk!
