Hands-on smartphone shoot-out coming soon  

0 comments

Exciting news, smartphone fans. I've got my hands on four of the latest all-singing all-dancing smartphones, and will be reviewing them in depth over the coming days. I've already posted my hands-on Nokia E90 review, which is my own phone that I've been using since November 2007.
When I bought it, I was torn between the E90 and the Toshiba G900 Portege smartphone. Although I've no regrets at all with the choice I eventually made, I've always wondered how the G900 would have compared as a day to day smartphone.
Well, now I don't need to wonder, as I have its successor, the Toshiba Portege G910, here with me right now, and am half way through its review. I've also got my hands on a MWg Atom V and MWg Zinc II, two other Windows Mobile-based smartphones, and I'll be reviewing them individually and together, in one gigantic smartphone shoot-out.
If you missed it the first time, check out my Nokia E90 review. I should have the Portege G910 review posted on Thursday (13th August), followed by the MWgs early next week.
You'll be pleased to know this is just the start of a series of hands-on reviews. Stay tuned for more phones coming your way.

iPhone 2 release spoiled by Samsung i900 Omnia  

0 comments

Just as Apple fanboys are being whipped into hysteria over the iPhone 2 with an expected announcement at 6pm this evening at the Apple WWDC Developers Conference, Samsung comes along and dumps all over their party with the announcement of the Samsung i900 Omnia. Now Samsung announcing a new phone is nothing new; indeed, the Korean manufacturer has so many phones in its line-up it seemingly announces one every day. But the Samsung i900 Omnia is different from the rest. With a 3.2" haptic touchscreen interface, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi, and a gloriously updated touchscreen interface, it's nothing less than Samsung's very own iPhone 2 challenger. Has it got what it takes to take on the latest Apple Jesus-phone? Find out after the jump... Actually, you won't be able to find out until after 6pm tonight, when Apple finally get around to announcing the iPhone 2! But we can at least speculate on a few things. Firstly, the Samsuing i900 Omnia will trounce the Apple iPhone 2 in the features department. We know this, because the original iPhone was roundly trounced by virtually all other phones. I mean, a poxy 2 megapixel camera and no video recorder on an up-market phone released in 2007? Ridiculous! However, it was the quality of the iPhone's interface that made it what it was, not the features. With the Samsung Omnia, though, things may have shifted against the iPhone. People have now become used to the concept of the touchscreen interface. Seemingly, every new phone released since the iPhone has come with one as standard, and the Omnia is no exception; neither, then, will the iPhone 2 be. It'll become just another touchscreen mobile phone. Speculation surrounds the iPhone 2 coming with both a-GPS and HSDPA. We know for sure that the Omnia will come both, and that its HSDPA connection will be able to transfer data at an almighty 7.2Mbps. What will the iPhone 2 offer? And then there are the camera facilities. The Omnia will offer a 5 megapixel camera complete with autofocus, image stabilisation and geo-tagging, as well as video recording and playback in both DivX and XVid formats. The original iPhone never even had a video camera; what will the iPhone 2 bring? In fact, that's the question that's now being asked by every tech enthusiast; what will the iPhone 2 bring to the party? The original iPhone, though flawed, revolutionized the mobile phone industry. The new iPhone 2 looks set to make the iPhone right by finally providing the features the original iPhone should have had right from tbe start. In itself, this would be great news for both Apple and its users. However, the mobile phone industry doens't stand still, and Apple's biggest mistake would be to release a phone that does what its previous model should have done all along, while the competition races ahead and releases genuine next-gen phones. It happened to Motorola, who only began making genuinely good RAZRs years after the original launched, but which were hopelessly outgunned by the competition even as they were released. I hope the iPhone 2 has everything its fan-boys want, as Apple have so obviously disrupted the mobile phone market for the good of us all. One thing's for sure, though - just as the iPhone raised the bar for mobile phones, so the Samsung i900 Omnia has raised it further still. The iPhone 2 has a lot to prove if it's to take on the new pretenders to its crown.

Google turns mobile phones into remote controls  

0 comments

Our sister-site MediaMentalism.com, which is undergoing something of a renaissance ("about time," somebody shouted!) has news of a new Google app that enables a mobile phone to stream music, pictures and videos between your PC and any suitably-equipped home device such as your TV or Hi-Fi.
You can use your phone to select videos from your PC, and then wirelessly stream them onto your TV, all via the comfort of your armchair. Effectively, your mobile phone becomes your new remote control.
Of course, not all mobile phones are capable of doing this, but a surprising number are. Read on for more details of what's involved.The gadget in question is the Google Media Server, which is basically a desktop-based UPnP server. For those who don't know what UPnP is, it's a standard for seamlessly transferring media across devices. In order to achieve this, all devices must support UPnP. Nearly all PCs already do (and they certainly will if you install the Google Media Server), as do an increasing number of home devices, including PlayStation 3, XBox 360, certain HDTVs, Hi-Fis and Personal Media Players (just look for the acronyms UPnP or DLNA to see if yours does).
More recently, a range of mobile phones have also supported the technology, including most of Nokia's N-Series range (the N95 and N80 are particularly well-suited to this). It's with these phones that you really can stream media effortlessly from PC to any UPnP-equipped device in the house, all controlled via your mobile phone, and all thanks to Google's nifty new gadget.
Media streaming and UPnP in particular are really shaping up to be a ground-breaking set of technologies that will transform the home and the gadgets within it, and Google, as ever, are right there in the thick of things!

Sony Ericsson kills Paris and BeiBei  

0 comments

Things really are being all shook up in the mobile phone world. Hot on the heels of Motorola splitting itself in two comes news that Sony Ericsson has canned two of its eagerly awaited smartphones - the Sony Ericsson P5i, codenamed Paris, and the Sony Ericsson G702 (codenamed BeiBei). These phones have been talked about and debated for months now, with people split on whether the liked the design or not.
Clearly the same debate was happening within Sony Ericsson, too, and those people who decided that the phones were not up to scratch won out and killed them. Fevered debate around the blogosphere speculates that the P5i was killed off because its feature-list was already behind that of its competitors even before it was released. This would be bad enough for a low-end phone, but for a smartphone, it's techno-suicide!
However, that's not all - the blogosphere itself may have had something to do with their decision...Some reports suggest that the phones were canned because of their bad reception in the blogosphere. If true, this is an extremely smart move by Sony Ericsson. Tech blogs reflect the opinion of early adopters and people who love a particular product. If the unanimous verdict of a series of tech bloggers is poor, there's every chance the product will fail. This won't, of course, be the case for low-end devices, but it most definitely will for particularly tech-heavy devices such as smartphones, whose core market is tech-savvy people who generally spend all day reading tech-blogs!
So congratulations to Sony Ericsson for having the foresight and the bravery not only to listen to the blogosphere but to act on its collective opinion. If only Motorola had done the same!
