Costea Lestoc — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:23:22 +0000

iSwifter iPad is an application that allows users to view Flash content directly on their tablet. Videos, games, almost any kind of content are displayed but unfortunately the application is not among the best. Running content is cumbersome, errors can occur when you access certain sites but the audio runs without any problem in most cases.

If you were disappointed that your favorite flash games on Facebook, Google + or other sources are not available on the iPad, then iSwifter is your remedy – without losing the warranty.

iSwifter is a Web browser that supports Flash and the iPad will cost $ 4.99. Install it, go to any site with flash games (I tested with Facebook and Armor Games) and play as you want. Price of five dollars is a bit high for IOS application, but instead get a competent browser that is capable of playing flash, and access to games optimized for iSwifter through various partnerships between producers creator browser and flash games. If you think a bit, if you play 5 free online flash games that otherwise would have had to buy on iTunes, then you’ve put money.

If you want to try before you buy iSwifter, then you can download and try free for 30 minutes before you upgrade to premium satellite transponder.

Costea Lestoc — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:30:06 +0000

In this article we’ll try to present some tips for saving your mobile phone battery. By appliyng these indications you can extend the life of the battery:

- If you have a phone with Wi-Fi connection close when no longer used. Most people forget the connection open after using it.
- The above advice applies if you forget your Bluetooth connection on.
- Always turn off 3G when not in use, use it only when needed.
- Try to use function “vibration” as rare as it uses a lot of energy.
- Turn down the volume keys and ring tones as much when you are in a peaceful environment.
- Reduce as much brightness. The phone uses enough energy to light, especially in the visible touch-screen phones (with large screens).
- Some phones can be programmed as X at Y time to stop lighting keyboard, ex.Samsung E250. Others can be programmed to stop vibration and ring tones in a certain time frame.
- Try to use a background as simple as animated backgrounds (*. Gif) uses more energy.
- Try to load the phone only when it discharged – this advice was particularly true for NiMH batteries, but it seems that newer Li-Ion have a longer life if charge/discharge cycle is observed.
- In the user’s phone, you will find the battery temperature limits functioning normally. Try, if possible, to respect (the phone will not feel good summer looked in the car, but no winter to below 0 degrees)
- If you are a gaming enthusiast phone remember one thing: you will reduce the period of stand-by, so do not be surprised when your battery will take far less than you used. Games use much CPU, along with the LCD are the largest consumers of energy from a phone.

HTC Titan brings Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

Costea Lestoc — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:23:07 +0000

Lately, things on the market of smartphones and mobile operating systems have been clear as possible. I witnessed a bitter duel between Android (supported by nearly all phone manufacturers) and the iOS from Apple releases that we had more or less sound and most anticipated, the new devices, ambitious and powerful. Somewhere on this confrontation have tried to come to light and other models from Nokia or BlackBerry, but without much success.

But the world has forgotten Windows Phone devices? Very famous in the past, especially until the advent of Google desserts, smart phones out of the yard of Bill Gates began to gather dust and that’s all.

However, it seems that people from Microsoft are working on a long-awaited comeback and so is that with the new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, slowly but surely starting to make their appearance and new terminals. First responders in the mission to resuscitate the smartphone market with Windows have been those from HTC Titan launching.

Phone name inspires size, the terminal is large, the display too and it fits in the category of the diagonals of 4.7 inches less common. Somewhat logical question would be: What’s to build a plasma Windows Phone 7.5 when the operating system currently only supports resolutions of 480 x 800 pixels? Where the idea that as more and more see less and worse than better? It is perfectly true that we are dealing with a splendid Super LCD which displays a black and convincing enough contrast and brightness is enviable, but what would you do with the shameful report of 199 pixels per inch, when most phones have 300ppi?

If we look at the specifications of the terminal, Scorpion 1.5 GHz processor, 205 adrenal graphics processor, 512 MB RAM, Wi-Fi, DLNA, 16GB memory, you rightly tempted to believe that you are dealing with a titanium in multimedia.

Basically the new version of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango should bring many improvements and fill some gaps or bugs present in previous releases. He managed a better integration of social networks, synchronizing contacts and messages from the phone with those of Facebook or Twitter. Another positive aspect would be easy implementation more or less success of the idea of multitasking. If we back button open applications will appear in the number of 6 and every new opening, the last of the list will be closed. Since Windows still talking about a terminal I find hilarious that he still discussed the semi-multitasking.

So, HTC Titan may be regarded as a somewhat exotic specimen. This phone needs updates closing and elimination of bugs, but still sold at a price equal to the most titled Android rival: about $600. From this point of view there are two scenarios: either outright price is adjusted, or are delivered as soon as the necessary updates. Without one of the two variants, HTC Titan is likely to remain an exotic phone.

Samsung presents an improved version of the popular Galaxy S i9000 Smartphone model.

Samsung GT-I9070 Galaxy S Advance welcomes us with a refreshed design, which includes a curved screen to use more natural touch interface and 3.5 mm jack connector for attaching your favorite headset.

Included first for Galaxy S series, the dual-core processor open new options for the Android operating system, delivered on version 2.3.6 Gingerbread for now, but with the prospect of upgrading to the version Ice Cream Sandwich.

Motorola Droid Bionic – Details

Costea Lestoc — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:20:29 +0000

Verizon says taht Motorola Droid Bionic is the thinnest 4G phone, measuring just 0.43 inches thick. It’s a bit bulky side, though, as Bionic Droid stands 5 cm tall by 2.6 inches wide. That’s just about the same size as the Motorola Sprint 4G photon, and is big enough to make a very small aspect iPhone 4 in comparison. As 4G Photon, weighs 5.6 oz Bionic Droid.

While they are the same size, Bionic Droid and 4G Photon are significantly different in shape. If the Photon 4G sports an angular look, Bionic Droid is a more traditional rectangular phone. That’s not a bad thing, however: his face shining glass, slightly curved edges and soft-touch back gray, Bionic Droid is beautiful.

The front screen of the phone is dominated by its 4.3-inch qHD, which has a resolution of 960 by 540 pixels. Screen is certainly large and very bright – is equipped with a coating that makes it easier to see outdoors – text and images looked beautiful clear. But even with high resolution, this screen can not compare with the iPhone Display retina. When viewed side by side, text and images on the Droid Bionic slightly pixilated and grainy were compared with their looks good on display iPhone 4.

Below the display, Droid Bionic has four touch sensitive buttons: menu, home, back, and search. Like the touch screen itself, the buttons are nicely responsive – and they are more attractive than physical buttons that some Android phones such as Samsung Conquer 4G sport.

Bionic Droid includes some standard fare media, such as a basic media player, access to Amazon MP3 downloads, and a YouTube application. You also NFL Mobile App, which allows you to watch live video, access fantasy teams, and more. In addition, phone support DLNA so you can connect to compatible devices such as set-top box.

What’s even more impressive, however, is included in the phone application ZumoCast. It provides remote access to files stored on your PC. When you run the application on your phone and PC at the same time, you can access content wirelessly from your desktop, including documents, photos, videos, music and playlists right on your phone.
