GADGETS 11 Predictions for 2011

Every December since 1990, I have published a list of predictions for the New Year. If you've followed my predictions over the years, you know that I have had a lot of hits and some spectacular misses, such as my prediction two years ago that Microsoft would buy RIM and its BlackBerry products. At the time, Microsoft was way behind in the smartphone industry and it was not clear that it had an answer to the Apple iPhone. But to be fair, I clearly stated that this was a wild prediction and not necessarily one that I thought really could happen.

HONEYCOMB READY From GOOGLE ON TABLETS

Finally Google unveiled the tablet-friendly version of the Android OS last night. Rubin showed off Android 3.0, aka "Honeycomb," on a prototype Motorola tablet—and promptly threw the nascent Android tablet market into further confusion.

MAC APP STORE vs GOOGLE EBOOKS STORE

before Mac app store launched.Google has launched their ebook store today. This new ebook store sort of tries to be a unified playground for all the ebook needs for tablets, PCs and ebook readers alike. The Kindle is obviously not part of this ecosystem because Amazon has its own format (amz) and does not support epub format which is a standard in most other ebook readers. I am a proud owner of the Barnes and Nobles’ Nook and I love reading books on it whenever I have time.

GOOGLE EBOOKS STORE IS NOW LIVE

before rumors MAC APP STORE LAUNCH DECEMBER 13TH, Google has just unveiled new eBooks Store that brings library of over 3 million eBooks readable using Web Reader, free Apps for Android as well as iOS and even on Nook as well as Sony Reader. Google eBooks is available only to US Citizens as of now and users can browse through over 3 million book titles. As of now, Google didn't announce any plans to make eBooks available outside US.

MAC APP STORE LAUNCH DECEMBER 13TH

AppleTell claims that Apple may be targeting a launch of the Mac App Store as early as December 13th.

An inside source has just told us that Apple is targeting a Monday, December 13th launch of the Mac App Store. The company apparently told developers to have their software prepared for a launch as early as Monday the 6th of this month, but our contact would be shocked if that happened at this point. Apple has made no official announcements regarding this, and delays could always happen, but there’s a push to be launched before Christmas, well ahead of the previously estimated January release.MAC APP STORE LAUNCH DECEMBER 13TH

Why Dell Inspiron 17R is the best?

From : http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5941&review=dell+inspiron+17r

The newly designed Inspiron 17R is the latest 17.3-inch desktop-replacement notebook from Dell. Equipped with the Intel Core i3 and i5 processors with Intel GMA HD graphics, this budget-friendly system is aimed at the masses. In this review we take an in-depth look at this new system and see how it performs.

Our
Dell Inspiron 17R (N7010) Specifications:

Intel Core i3 370M processor (2.4GHz, 3MB cache)
17.3-inch 1600x900 display with LED backlighting
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
4GB DDR3 memory
500GB 5400rpm HDD
Intel HD integrated graphics
10/100 Ethernet, 802.11n wireless, and Bluetooth
6-cell Li-ion 48Wh battery
Dimensions: 16.54 x 10.87 x 1.24-1.38-inches
Weight: 6.67lbs starting
MSRP: $679

Build and Design
The newly redesigned Inspiron 17R offers a much cleaner and sleeker look and feel compared to past models. Similar to the Adamo-series, the layout has a hinge-forward design with the screen positioned just slightly in front of the back edge of the chassis. This has the added benefit of moving the screen closer to the keyboard and bringing the action to you. The outside appearance of the new 17R is very stylish, with a faux-brushed metal screen cover. The look gives the appearance of metal, although with an easier to clean painted surface. This look it also shared inside the notebook, with the palmrest and keyboard trim.

Build quality is great with a strong chassis and very durable feeling plastic. Even with its large footprint, the thin chassis resist flex and doesn't creak when you lift it up from the corners. The keyboard and palmrest both have more than adequate support, and don't sag under strong pressure. The screen cover has moderate protection for the LCD, with only strong pressure to the back of the panel causing ripples. The large 17.3-inch screen has no problem staying put with two strong hinges that get the display into position and hold it without any wiggle.

Users looking to upgrade the Inspiron 17R will find it easy through one access panel on the bottom of the notebook. With a few Phillips head screws removed, you gain access to the system memory and hard drive. Components like the wireless card and processor require more disassembly to get at.

Ports and Features
For a budget 17-inch desktop-replacement the Inspiron 17R offers plenty of inputs. We counted three USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA/USB connection, HDMI and VGA-out , audio jacks, and Ethernet. It also featured a SDHC-card reader, but an ExpressCard slot was missing.

Front: Activity lights	Rear: DC-input, one USB 2.0, VGA-out, one USB 2.0
Left: One USB 2.0, audio jacks, HDMI-out, SDHC-card slot	Right: Optical drive, eSATA/USB combo port, LAN, Kensington Lock slot

Screen and Speakers
The main attraction to the Inspiron 17R is its large and rather spacious 17.3" display. The display comes in 1600x900 resolution only, with a glossy or glare-type surface. We didn't find the reflections or glare to be as bad as all-glass style panels, but it was still greater than matte finishes. For a budget system the screen rates slightly above average with a strong backlight, measuring a peak of 215nit with our Gossen Mavo-Monitor light meter. The brightness was a bit low for outdoor viewing, but worked quite well under bright office lighting.

We also measured screen contrast as being 215:1 with an average darkness of 0.98nit and minimal backlight bleed around the edges. Color quality was good, although maybe not as vivid as more recent multimedia-oriented systems. Vertical viewing angles were good to about 15-20 degrees before colors started to sharply invert. Horizontal viewing angles were better, staying true to about 60 degrees off-center before reflections started to overpower the panel.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard on the Inspiron 17R is a cross between a Chilet and standard keyboard. The tops of each key are flat with sharp edges, but instead of an inner-bezel they broaden out to meet the sides of other keys. This design is comfortable to type on, although it lacks some of the cupping that is nice to have to center your fingers over each key as you type. The layout is full-size with numberpad, which doesn't feel in any way cramped with the large width of this laptop. The only complaint I have with this keyboard are the directional keys, which are micro-sized for a keyboard this big. They are roughly equal in size to the function keys on the top row. I am guessing it was done this way to maximize the size of the palmrest and get users to use the numberpad for direction keys.

The touchpad is a spacious Synaptics model, which thankfully doesn't incorporate buttons below the touch-sensitive surface. The response times of the touchpad were excellent, exhibiting no lag whatsoever in our testing. The surface texture was a light matte finish that was easy to glide over with a dry or slightly damp fingertip. The touchpad supported multitouch gestures which worked well and with the external buttons, didn't interfere with normal operation of the cursor. The touchpad buttons offered shallow feedback, but they did have slightly more travel than other short-throw buttons. When pressed they emitted a very soft click that didn't make your presence known in a medium to large-sized room.

Performance and Benchmarks
System performance on the Dell Inspiron 17R was great thanks to the Intel Core i3 and i5 processor selection, as well as Intel GMA HD graphics. While our review sample was a budget-oriented configuration, Dell does offer a dedicated graphics option with the ATI Radeon HD5470 and 1GB of VRAM. On compatible systems this option adds $100 to the purchase price.

Overall we were very pleased with the performance of the 17R in our tests. Our base configuration included the Intel Core i3 370M with 4GB of DDR3 memory, and a 500GB 5400RPM hard drive. After a partial cleaning of pre-installed software, the system was quick to respond and handled most of the tasks we asked of it. The Inspiron 17R handles office productivity applications as well as any web-browsing without a problem. Although playing most modern games is out of the question with the Intel integrated graphics, the 17R had no trouble streaming HD video or playing locally stored 720P and 1080P videos. For a "budget" system the Inspiron 17R offered plenty of power.

Heat and Noise
Throughout our testing the Inspiron 17R handled heat very well without excessive noise or hot spots. The large chassis handled the Intel Core i3 370M processor with its GMA HD graphics with ease, spreading out the thermal load over a large area. Under normal use the fan stayed off, only coming on in short bursts to cool the heatsink. The fan was very quiet at low speeds, and just above a whisper at high speed. Under a full load while performing benchmarks, the system reached a maximum of 88F on the top edge of the keyboard.

Battery Life
The Dell Inspiron 17R comes standard with a 48Wh 6-cell battery, which worked surprisingly well in our tests. An optional 9-cell 90WH battery is also offered with some configurations if you needed extended runtime. In our tests with the screen brightness reduced to 70%, wireless active and refreshing a webpage ever 60 seconds, and Windows set to the Balanced profile, the Inspiron 17R stayed on for 3 hours and 43 minutes. For a 17.3-inch notebook on a mid-sized battery this was a pretty good time and should easily get you through a few classes or meetings if you so desire.

Conclusion
For shoppers interested in an affordable 17-inch desktop replacement notebook, the Dell Inspiron 17R is a very good choice. Starting at $499, the 17R offers the latest Intel Core processors, Intel GMA HD integrated graphics, optional ATI HD4570 dedicated graphics, and optional Intel Wi-Di for viewing HD movies wirelessly. The new design looks great, with equally impressive build quality inside and out. The full-size keyboard was very comfortable to type on, with a design that crossed between standard and Chilet-style. Overall we were very impressed by all the features of the Inspiron 17R and highly recommend it if you are in the market for a large laptop.

Pros:

Stylish looks
Very good build quality
Comfortable keyboard and touchpad

Cons:

Some options not available on all configurations

Android 2.3 Gingerbread Features

Google's method of rapidly and regularly dishing out updates to their Android platform is a great way to get people more and more excited about their smartphone platform. But its negative effect is that existing owners of Android phones (other than the Nexus One) crib and cry about the delays till an update comes to their phone. For example, owners of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 have gotten their Android 2.1 update just now, something Google had put out to the world in the beginning of January 2010.

Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion seems determined to have as many applications as possible available for the launch of its newly unveiled BlackBerry PlayBook tablet PC, and the company has just announced plans to unveil more info on what building apps for the tablet PC is all about in a webcast today

The new “Develop for the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR” webcast is aimed mainly at offering developers the possibility to learn some more info on what installing the SDK and coming up with applications for the slate involve.

“We’ll have both Research In Motion (RIM) and Adobe experts on hand to take you through the process and answer your questions during our Q&A period,” a recent post on the company's blog reads.

According to the blog, Prosanta Bhattacherjee, Application Development Consultant, Research In Motion Limited, and Renaun Erickson, Adobe Developer Evangelist, Adobe Systems Incorporated, will be there to talk about app development for the PlayBook.

At the same time, the blog post notes that this is only the first webcast from five-week series aimed at enabling developers to come up with compelling applications for the new platform.

The plan is to cover new things each and every week, and more advanced topics will be covered as things move forward.

The webcast is aimed both at ramping up the development of applications for the new device, as well as at enabling more developers to benefit from the aforementioned offer.

“Our goal is to make the development process as easy as possible, so you can qualify for the free BlackBerry PlayBook tablet offer,” the said blog post continues.

More info on the matter, as well as details on what developers have to do to register for the webcast, are available on RIM's said blog page, here.

The tablet will have a 10 inch touch screen among other usuals.Provided Smsung’s Galaxy S success, we have Galaxy Tab in hands so why not a Motorola Tablet when Motorola has made huge sales with its Droid series phones? Seems very much natural. But a Gingerbread tablet as soon as November 2010? I can’t believe that. Well, I assume that Motorola might announce the device in November with a 2011 release date.No other specs of the device are known yet. We are not quite sure if this is really going to come out or not but let’s hope for good.

Motorola Droid X and Droid 2

Motorola Droid X and Droid 2: The Droid X and Droid 2 are the two Android based phone that has finally given Motorola the profit the deserved. Motorola had a $109 million profit the third fiscal quarter of the year. Revenues have hit $4.9 billion, which is up by 13 percent from Q3 of 2009. Motorola's gamble with Google’s Android operating system has paid them off really well in the third quarter.Motorola had a good profit in its Q3 of 2010. The profit is 13 percent from the Q3 of 2009. Motorola had a $109 million profit its third fiscal quarter of the year. Revenues collected this quarter is $4.9 billion. Motorola is paid well with the Google’s Android operating system. The profit this time is $12 million more than earned in the year-ago quarter.The revenues for the phone maker have hit $4.9 billion, and are up 13 percent from last year. The stocks of Motorola rose to $8.71 from the previous close of $8.09. Sanjay Jha, Motorola co-CEO, said in a statement that the mobile device segment sales have topped $2 billion, which is up 20 percent from last year and have reached profitability for the first time in three years. The sales have lead to 3.8 million Motorola Smartphone shipped, which include both Droid X and Droid 2.Jha said, "Droid X continues to sell extremely well, and we have had several other successful smartphone launches globally, including the Droid 2, the Ming series in China." It was just a few short years ago, when Motorola was beaten by Samsung, Apple's iPhone and others in the mobile phone market. The inclusion of Android platform is a strategic decision to influence the open-source.Motorola had launched Motorola Droid on Verizon Wireless' network in November 2009. Since then there has been a steady climb in the sales. The company released the Motorola Droid X and later its sequel Droid 2. The Droid X had followed the Sprint HTC Evo 4G and offered a 4.3-inch screen; the Droid 2 offered a faster Droid with much better slide out QWERTY keyboard.Motorola has the biggest best coming up in the fourth quarter, with the launch of the Droid Pro on Verizon's network. The Droid Pro is designed for the enterprises and is based on the Android 2.2. It includes a remote wipe of device, SD card and a complex password support.In spite of Motorola's absolute success, analysts for the Jefferies and Co. consider that Motorola's reliance on Android might be an competitive disadvantage, since Samsung, HTC and others are ready to "tap into the same ecosystem." Moreover, they have said that the development and manufacturing of Motorola still remains at the compassion of Android's release schedule.

Motorola Droid 2 discontinued at Best Buy, two Droid 2 Globals on the way?

Motorola Droid 2 discontinued at Best Buy, two Droid 2 Globals on the way? Do you like this story?It appears that the end of the original Motorola Droid 2 is just about here, a lifespan that lasted a whole two months. So if you really want one, and I’m not sure why you would with what’s on the horizon, you probably want to head out and grab it as soon as possible.That’s right San Francisco; Best Buy has discontinued the Droid 2. In-store displays are being removed and the store’s inventory shows it as being discontinued.Don’t believe me?Check out that internal photo courtesy of Droid-Life.You know what this means right? The release of the Motorola Droid 2 World Edition aka Droid 2 Global is just around the corner. Same deal with the Motorola Droid Pro. In fact, rumor has it that both phones could be out with a bunch of other Verizon devices on November 11th.And if you are still not convinced that the Droid 2 Global exists, Engadget got their hands on a rebate form that shows not only the Droid Pro but two versions of the Droid 2 Global which has led to some speculation that there is going to be a camera-less version for your covert business folks out there.And hey, guess what?The Samsung Continuum is there too, further proof that the ‘Nexus Two’ won’t be the device that’s revealed by Samsung on November 8th

Will HP, Dell, Sony answer 11-inch MacBook Air? | Nanotech

After new arrival 11 inch macbook air,Will HP, Dell, Sony answer 11-inch MacBook Air? Neither Dell nor Hewlett-Packard nor Sony have laptops that compete directly with the 2.3-pound, 11.6-inch MacBook Air. Is this a new market segment that those three laptop leaders and others will have to address?Sony has the Vaio Y series, but that hardly compares with the 11.6-inch MacBook Air.Sony has the Vaio Y series, but that hardly compares to the 11.6-inch MacBook Air.(Credit: Sony)Apple has a knack for creating new markets, the iPad being the most recent example. Though not as groundbreaking or broadly market-defining as the iPad, the smaller Air is clearly unique: wrapped in aluminum, while considerably lighter than a typical 3-pound 11.6-inch laptop. And it packs higher-end silicon--and better performance--than Netbooks. (I spent some time in three different Apple Stores in the Los Angeles area right after the new Airs were announced, and from what I saw, the 11.6-inch MBA elicited the most oohs and aahs--hands down.)I would submit that the Air has wedged itself (pun intended) into an elite sub-2.5-pound laptop segment where little direct competition currently exists. There are hordes of 10-inch class Netbooks out there. But, again, a $350 Windows 7-based Netbook is a very different class of laptop. Then there are products like Dell's 11.6-inch Inspiron M101z. But that is a low-end plastic Netbook-class product.2010 MacBook Air2010 MacBook Air(Credit: Apple)Lenovo--though not listed up top--warrants an honorable mention with its IdeaPad U160 11.6-inch laptop, which has the screen measurements to match the 11.6-inch Air but is about a pound heavier and for all intents and purposes is a fairly conventional Intel Core i series-based laptop that's been squeezed into a tight form factor. And Acer has the 11.6-inch TimeLineX series, but this is three pounds and really not in the same class as the Air.

Apple iPhone Leapfrogs RIM BlackBerry in Smartphone Rankings

Apple iPhone Leapfrogs RIM BlackBerry in Smartphone Rankings on this Enterprise Mobility story.iPhone 4 sales launched Apple over RIM and into the top-5 list of handset vendors during the third quarter. Smartphones are now a major factor in the overall handset market.Rate This Article:Poor BestE-mail Print PDF VersionApple, Research In Motion and Android phone producers such as Samsung put in strong performances during a third quarter that showed smartphone sales to be very much dictating the global handset market. The handset market also seems to be rewarding phone vendors that are constantly innovating and producing the strongest possible portfolio of smartphones. The launch of the iPhone 4 helped Apple, according to Oct. 28 reports from research firms IDC and Strategy Analytics, join the list of top-five performers for the first time. Apple, such as competitor RIM, only contributes smartphones to the handheld market, and both vendors posted highest-growth rates among the top five vendors during the quarter. “The mobile phone makers that are delivering popular smartphone models are among the fastest-growing firms,” Kevin Restivo, an IDC senior research analyst, said in a statement. “Vendors that aren’t developing a strong portfolio of smartphones will be challenged to maintain and grow market share in the future.”

How the New MacBook Air, Slate Define Apple and HP

This might seem like a weird comparison and perhaps it is, but if you think about Apple's new MacBook Air and HP's Slate, these high-profile products say a lot about how Apple and HP approach their markets. Both likely will make it into business, the first likely over the objections of IT organizations that haven’t yet blessed the Mac, and the second in planned adoption in markets like real estate and health care. One product will likely sell very well, the other not so much and both are overshadowed by the iPad.

New MacBook Air Doesn’t Come With Adobe Flash

Jobs’ attempt to rush the Flash Castle have just taken another step. New Apple MacBook Air laptops (the ones announced at the Back to the Mac event recently) are coming with one thing missing – the Adobe Flash plugin for web browsers. While previous Mac OS X computers came with the Flash plugin, it’s noticeably absent from the new Airs. Think they just forgot?
