  • Samsung Corby 2 S3850 Unboxing and Review

    Samsung Corby 2 S3850 Unboxing and Review

    The Samsung Corby 2 is the successor to the original Corby, a might successful college/ ladies phone. So, the corby 2 has huge shoes to fill, the question here arises weather or not it can fill them. We take a look at the new Corby 2 and see its capability in the exact situation where a lot more competition is available even from the likes of Samsung themselves.

    BUILD QUALITY and HARDWARE

    The build quality of the new Corby 2 is far superior to its predecessor. The plastics are well weighed and the switchable panels are form moulded and fit perfectly like a glove without creaks or sounds.

    As far as hardware is concerned the Corby 2 has two major changes (corby 2 = 2 changes hah). Seriously the addition of a capacitive touchscreen will definitely attract previous Corby owners to buy the new improved Corby 2. But wait there is WiFi onboard so that means faster internet and easily downloaded Apps.

    MULTIMEDIA and CAMERA

    The Speaker is nice and loud, Wifi enables users to watch youtube videos (read iGyaan videos) directly on the phone, The lack of 3G somewhat limits the Multimedia aspect on the go, the screen resolution is also somewhat a disappointment at 240×320 px with only 256 colors. Although, movies and videos can still be streamed via wifi and loaded onto the memory card and the device is ready to serve its master.

    The camera is a poor demonstration of keeping the price of the phone low. But, then what all do you expect in a phone that costs merely minimum wage + couple of hundred. But, hey there are effects and scene modes and brightness setting and movie mode, The quality of which is as bad as you think it is. If you want a phone with a camera, that you will use, this is definitely not it.

     

    PHONE and MESSAGING

    Thank you Samsung for making us work hard with the resistive screen to make us understand that a capacitive screen is heaven sent. The dialer and messaging on the keyboard just seem to improve tenfold simply because of the touchscreen improvement. The call quality is decent with little or no dropped calls. Volume at both ends is good and no issues there. An overall performer in the phone department.

    The messaging in portrait does not bring up a QWERTY keyboard but switch to landscape and “boom” a QWERTY experience the keyboard is fast and intuitive with the text prediction and large keys make it fun to use. So, Messaging and Phone systems are  sorted in this device and will not disappoint basic users at all.

    OTHER

    The Touch-wiz 3.0 UI is a great add-on , the BADA-esque interface is a great improvement, with widgets and a notification panel make this device a better Smart-phone than the Corby ever could have been. The interface is hugely colorful and the icons are large and easily readable. The interface is pleasing to the eyes and the menus are fast and responsive.

     

    CONCLUSION

    The Corby 2 is a huge improvement over the Corby, But, is it enough with a host of Android devices from companies like Micromax and Spice the corby seems lost. There is still however a charm about the Corby brand and those loyal to it should definitely upgrade to the new Corby 2. Build and Phone is impressive along with good multimedia, But, a poor camera and a average display. The touchscreen is a massive improvement and Wifi adds to the experience.

  • PlayStation 3 system update 3.61 goes Live with a Phase wise PSN Deployment (PR)

     

     

    Sony has just announced that they will re-enable Playstation Network Services in Phases, and the first phase has been initiated. The online gaming, Music Unlimited, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and MLB.TV should rolling out right now in Europe and North America.

     

    PRESS RELEASE

    Restoration of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity Services Begins

    Increased Security Measures Implemented Before Service Restoration; Consumer Data Protection a Full-Time, Company-Wide Commitment

    TOKYO, May 14, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced that Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will today begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity Services. The phased restoration will be on a country by country basis beginning in the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Middle East.

    The first phase of restored services for these countries and regions will include:

     

    • Sign-in for PlayStation®Network and Qriocity services, including the resetting of passwords
    • Restoration of online game-play across PS3 and PSP
    • Playback rental video content, if within rental period, of PlayStation Network Video Delivery Service on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
    • Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity, for current subscribers, on PS3 and PC
    • Access to 3rd party services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and MLB.tv
    • ‘Friends’ category on PS3, including Friends List, Chat Functionality, Trophy Comparison, etc
    • PlayStation Home
    • Increased Security Measures

    As the result of a criminal cyber attack on the company’s data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services on April 20, in order for the company to undergo an investigation and make enhancements to the overall security of the network infrastructure. Working closely with several respected outside security firms, the company has implemented new and additional security measures that strengthen safeguards against unauthorized activity, and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information.

    The company has made considerable enhancements to the data security, including updating and adding advanced security technologies, additional software monitoring and penetration and vulnerability testing, and increased levels of encryption and additional firewalls. The company also added a variety of other measures to the network infrastructure including an early-warning system for unusual activity patterns that could signal an attempt to compromise the network.

    “I’d like to send my sincere regret for the inconvenience this incident has caused you, and want to thank you all for the kind patience you’ve shown as we worked through the restoration process,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “I can’t thank you enough for your patience and support during this time. We know even the most loyal customers have been frustrated by this process and are anxious to use their Sony products and services again. We are taking aggressive action at all levels to address the concerns that were raised by this incident, and are making consumer data protection a full-time, company wide commitment.”

    “During the past 18 months, we’ve seen a dramatic rise in the volume of cyber attacks, their sophistication and their impact on businesses. Thwarting cyber-crime requires an evolutionary approach to security that is well integrated, reduces risk exposure and improves efficiencies,” said Francis deSouza, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Security Group, Symantec. “Today’s cyber crime attacks are proving to be more covert, more targeted and better organized than those we’ve seen in years past. In working with Sony on the move of their data-center, it’s clear they’re implementing measures to reduce security risks moving forward.”

    As an additional measure, Fumiaki Sakai, president of Sony Global Solutions Inc. (SGS), has been appointed acting Chief Information Security Officer of SNEI. In addition to his current role at SGS, Mr. Sakai, in his role at SNEI, will work to further reinforce overall information security across the company’s network infrastructure. Mr. Sakai will lead the recruiting effort in finding a new and permanent CISO for SNEI. As CISO, Mr. Sakai will report to Tim Schaaff, president, SNEI, as well as to Mr. Shinji Hasejima, CIO, Sony Corporation.

    “While we understand the importance of getting our services back online, we did not rush to do so at the expense of extensively and aggressively testing our enhanced security measures. Our consumers’ safety remains our number one priority,” Hirai continued. “We want to assure our customers that their personal information is being protected with some of the best security technologies available today, so that everyone can feel comfortable enjoying all that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer.”

    The restoration of the services across the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Middle East are beginning, and consumers will be able to enjoy some of the online functionality provided by both the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. Phased restoration in Japan and other Asian countries and regions will be announced in due course. The company expects to have the services fully restored by the end of May 2011.

    The company will be offering customers a “Welcome Back” package of services and premium content to all registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity account services. The details of this program will be announced in each region shortly.

  • App a Day: Waze |Social Maps for iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Blackberry

    App a Day: Waze |Social Maps for iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Blackberry

     

     

    Waze. The new social navigation app which provides you with real-time traffic updates as well as turn-by-turn navigation. The app is really fun to use and comes with a host of features. Since the maps are crowd-sourced, they’re always up to date and accurate in areas where google maps fail. The social aspect of the app comes from its ability to create local traffic groups, which help all drivers in the group by providing traffic updates, accident reports, speed trap data etc.

     

    The app is more of a game than a navigation app as it has a PAC-MANesque interface that has little dots that your car can gobble up while you drive, you also have toffees that appear from time to time  for extra points. If you’re in an area where there are no maps or the maps are wrong, you can re-map them by switching to dozer mode, which turns your car into a bull-dozer so you can pave your own road! This is a great feature and the first time we’ve seen a navigation app providing this level of detail. A full feature list of the app is below.

     

    NAVIGATION FEATURES:

    • Voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation
    • Live crowdsourced traffic information
    • Real-time monitoring of road conditions and automatic re-routing as conditions on the road change
    • Alternative route options
    • Notification when approaching police traps and speed cams
    • Learns and personalizes your preferred routes
    • Free, community-updated map

    SOCIAL DRIVING FEATURES:

    • Road reports from nearby drivers – speed cams, police traps, accidents hazards and more, with the ability to add a photo to your report
    • Ability to create or join local driving groups
    • See your Facebook friends on the map
    • Check in via Foursquare to earn the ‘Road Warrior’ badge
    • Fun avatars to choose from
    • Ability to ‘ping’ other wazers
    • Twitter integration to share your road reports
    • ‘Road goodies’ for extra points, scoreboard, plus other cool geo-gaming elements

    SAFETY AND OTHER FEATURES:

    • Typing disabled while car is in motion
    • Voice-alerts when approaching a hazard
    • Automatic shut-down after 10 minutes of no movement to preserve battery life

     

    You can download the app from the following links. Remember to join the iGyaan Waze group called iGTraffic.

  • How many GB does your average filing cabinet hold?

    How many GB does your average filing cabinet hold?

    What if you wanted to store all your data in a Filing Cabinet? How many GB could it possibly hold? Lets find out using songs as our data…

    • Well, we can say that the average song is 4MB
    • 4MB = 33554432 bits
    • One bit would be a 1 or 0
    • One printed page hold approx 6460 characters
    • So one song would take 5194 pages
    • Average paper is 24lb/ream or .0048″ per sheet
    • So, we’re looking at about 25″ of space needed for one song
    • Looking at a file cabinet of average thickness, we would say that one drawer is about 18″ deep
    • And the average file cabinet has 4 drawers
    • So we have a total of 72″ of space
    • Or 2.88 songs per cabinet
    • So one cabinet holds about 11.52MB of space
    • Or, about .01125GB

    So we can conclusively say that a file cabinet stored about as much data as one and a half IBM 2311 Direct Access Storage Facility Hard Disks.

  • The Gecko Nano Pad

    The Gecko Nano Pad

     

    The Nano Pad is a hand-sized pad that makes use of nanotechnology to create a vacuum system onto which cellphones and other devices stick. One can put it on the car dashboard to hold iPods, mobiles, PDAs, MP3 players, pens, coins or even reading glasses. The pad forms a vacuum seal “like a gecko’s foot”, making your cellphone, camera or other small gadgets “hands-free” while you are driving or busy with something else. The Nano-pad only comes in one size but will stick by being placed on any part of a hard, flat surface. It comes in a variety of colours and can be used indoors as well as in your car. It is said to be heat and cold resistant so we shouldn’t face any issues leaving it in our cars in the Indian summer.
