New Sony PSP Phone Concept

The long-rumored PSP phone is one such device that makes a comeback every now and then, but now when its back it will be available to consumers. According to its sources, Sony is developing a host of portable media devices and the PlayStation-compatible phone is one of them. The report comes days after Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) SVP of publisher relations, Rob Dyer, told Industry Gamers that the PSP Go has turned out to be confusing and expensive.

Another device mentioned in the same report is a “multifunction” media device to rival the Apple iPad. Plus both rumored devices are said to be compatible with Sony’s version of Apple’s iTunes.

Personally, I think this is the best Sony PSP phone concept yet! Just look at it. It has a sliding keypad, or rather a game controller, which you can hide under the touch-sensitive screen whenever you quit playing and use the device as a phone.


Sony Ericsson, why don't you guys take this model into consideration? It's a real gold mine, people! Don't get left behind by Nokia and Apple!

Sony Ericsson FH Concept Phone: Specs and Release Date Unknown To Mankind

A lot of concepts have been coming out when it comes to mobile phones which are primarily intended to make mobile phones more exciting and enjoyable to use. Concept phones have been always something that most people have been dreaming about since majority of these concepts have never been turned into reality. And one of these latest concepts is shown by the Sony Ericsson FH concept phone.

Apparently, Sony Ericsson has been trying to come out with new innovations to increase the popularity of its products. And just recently, designer Du Jun introduced the concept of having a fan-made flip phone that amazingly pivots vertically as well as horizontally under Sony Ericsson. This is called the Sony Ericsson FH which is a clamshell and rotator phone at the same time.

The Sony Ericsson has basically these 2 main features. Amazingly, its body can be divided into two halves, each part has been equipped with a touch display and it can even turn into one big screen just like in a tablet PC when it is in its unfolded state. Another one is its ability to interact wirelessly with each other, when split into two the phone also serves just like an intercom or walkie-talkie providing easy communication between the two parties at the end of each line.

The Sony Ericsson FH mobile phone appears to be merely a stylish concept phone. And it certainly offers more functionality than the usual and traditional handsets we have in the market. Although the concept is a little different from those mobile phones featuring reverse-flipping QWERTY keyboards, since it flips the phone itself vertically and horizontally using a pivot point.

Many people have been amazed by this concept phone especially upon seeing the photos showing its amazing features. But there were some who also wonders if it is really possible for this phone to pivot horizontally and vertically and if its two-display feature will be able to function well even when they are positioned side to side.

This concept phone definitely looks amazing and appealing and many will surely get impressed upon seeing its photos. But beyond its stylish looks and amazing design concept, we can’t help but wonder whether this concept phone is really possible or will just remain a concept phone like just the others.

We can’t deny the fact that technology has brought us a lot of amazing devices that seems to be impossible at first, so who knows this concept phone might really turn into reality in the future. Let’s just wait and see.

New Window Phone Concept

I don’t know about your city, but the weather bureau of my hometown is often sniggered at, for their in-accurate predictions. When they say it will rain (like they predicted a couple of days ago) you can be sure it will be bright and sunny. I would like to gift them this “Window Phone”, that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors. Maybe I should keep the phone for myself and bug the bureau with my updates.

Seven Little Known Windows 7 Features that Will Improve Your Computing Experience.

Microsoft Windows 7 is one of the best operating systems that we have seen in years from this software giant. While many have bad memories about slow performance and obsolete features in other versions of Windows such as Vista, Windows 7 is filled with both performance and features that make it an excellent choice.


Many great features such as Snap and an enhanced Media Center have been featured in many headlines over the last year. While these well known features have been well received, Windows 7 has many new cool things that most people have never heard of. There are so many new features that some of them can be considered as Windows 7 secrets. In this article we will feature 7 new and often not known "secrets" that will help you to have a better computing experience.

Secret-1

Ever wish that you could have access to all the important operating system controls in one place? If so then "God Mode" is for you. This handy addition to the system allows you to create a new folder that will hold most of the important settings. These settings include access to mouse pointers, create a new hard drive partition, network settings and many more. To use "God Mode", simply create a new folder on your hard drive. Once this folder has been created and then change the name of the folder to,"GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}". Now that you have done that the icon for that folder will change to resemble a control panel. It will contain dozens of powerful windows settings.

Secret-2

The "Problem Steps Recorder" is a great new tool to help you figure out why the programs that you run may be misbehaving. To use this new tool, click on the start button. In the search bar type in, "PSR" and press enter. A small window will show up. Simply hit the "Start Record' button. Pressing this button will allow you to record the clicks and key presses that you make. It also take screen grabs and package everything up in a tidy MHTML file. The you can either review the results yourself or email them off to your favorite support person.

Secret-3

Windows 7 has been advertised as so easy to use that a young child can operate it without assistance. This presents both good and bad things. On one hand your children can do almost anything with your new computer. On the other hand you may not want them to do somethings that you may not want them to do. A great solutions to bar kids from running unwanted applications is to use the new "AppLocker" tool. To use this feature click on the start button. In the search line enter, "GPEDIT.MSC", and then press your enter key. A new window will open and the computer configuration screen will be available. From this point navigate to Configuration > Windows Settings > Application Control Policies > AppLocker.

Secret-4

Windows Movie Maker allows users of all ages to edit and share video. One draw back to this program is that out of the box it does not support importing files over a network. This is not very useful if you store your files on another computer or if you use products like Microsoft Windows Home Server. To enable this feature you have to use the REGEDIT program. Word of caution the registry editor can have significant impact on your computer. Please be careful when using this too. To begin click on the start button and enter, "regedit" in the search bar and press enter. When the registry editor appears navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Movie Maker value. Once you are there add a "DWORD" value called AllowNetworkFiles and set the value to 1. Now you can import files over the network.

Secret-5

There is a new and mostly unheard of feature in this version of Windows. Virtual WiFi turns your computer into a software based router. Now you can use your computer to allow other WiFi devices such as, an other desktop computer, laptop computer, IPod, and other devices access to your home network and the internet. One note this will only work if your wireless adapter support this feature. It is advised that you get the latest drivers available for your adapter. Once you have a supported driver then your best approach to getting this set up is to get a network too that can set up your Virtual WiFi for you. I recommend Virtual Router (http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/). It is free and easy to use utility that will have you up in a jiffy.

Secret-6

Have you ever wanted to put your own picture up on your logon screen. This used to take complicated editing of the system. There are a couple of good tools that will let you change your logon experience. Ones free tool that does the job is Logon Changer (http://tweaks.com/software/tweakslogon/). This utility accepts one picture. If you want to have different images in rotation, Logon Screen Rotator (http://lukepaynesoftware.com/lsrotator/), may be the tool for you. This tool accepts multiple images and is also free.

Secret-7

The UAC or User Account Control was meant to be an easy way to manage how programs react related to system security. This feature was added to Windows Vista but was a bit chatty and not very easy to use. The people at Microsoft did listen to the complaints that people had about this feature and have done a lot to make it a better user experience. It is now much easier to manage the UAC. To set your UAC preferences, click on Start > Control Panel > Change User Account Settings.

If you take the time to explore these seven Windows 7 Secrets you will be on your way to a better windows experience.

Why Does Nokia Sell More Phones Than Apple?

If you compare Nokia and Apple you would naturally think that Apple and its iPhone is more popular than Nokia. You would also have to reconsider once you looked at the numbers. Take a look at this article to find out who really sells the most mobile phones.

Nokia is on deck to sell around 500 million units this year. Apple by comparison, until the third quarter of this year ( 2010 ), has sold a “paltry” 8.4 million iPhones. Will Apple make up the other 491.6 million iPhones by the end of the year ? No, they will not. So, why is Apple so popular ? One reason is that Steve Jobs is a master at marketing. The Apple company knows how to create a “buzz” about their products. This makes them sit at center-screen for months before they actually release a product. The internet loves a good rumor as much as those daytime soap operas. Nokia, on the other hand is behind the scenes, giving people good quality at a good price.

Not many know that Nokia-Siemens recently bought out part of Motorola. Nokia also recently bought the whole Symbian operating system and set the code up as open source to the world. Symbian is the world´s number one most popular mobile operating system. Would you know that from the news on the internet ? Probably not. What has Apple been buying ? They have been buying things to offset their lack of advertising base against their Google nemesis. Google outbid Apple on the Admob advertising system, so Apple picked up seconds. Their choice turned out to be Quattro Wireless, which they paid $275 million dollars for. It may sound like a big deal to you and I. Not to Nokia. They paid $410 million dollars just to take Symbian. They immediately made it true open source software.

Nokia bought a software company recently to help them make Ovi Maps. They paid $8.1 billion ( with a “B” ) dollars for the Navteq company that created the mapping software. People on the go are obviously going to need maps to help them get to and from their destinations. Apple has just gotten started with this area of mobile services. They nearly secretly bought out a mapping company called Placebase. They also bought a “geographic 3D globe” company called Poly9. Apple bought them around a month ago. It is a good thing, the only other choice an Apple user has had recently is Google and their maps.

Nokia simply has more money and more power to expand because it sells more phones. Nokia started making phones in 1992 in Texas. Apple started in 2007. Just one mobile network that Nokia covers has half a billion subscribers. That is with that letter “B” again. AT&T is the exclusive network that handles the iPhone. AT&T was happy to report they added 2.7 million wireless subscribers this year. As of last November, they had 79 to 82 million wireless subscribers. Looking at how those two numbers compare, you see that just one 500 billion subscriber-base compared to one exclusive 82 million subscriber-base for Apple shows a clear advantage for Nokia.

The chief executive of Nokia has stated; ” We have the widest portfolio in the industry and the deepest understanding of it, as opposed to having one or two hit products at a time.”. This is what makes Nokia superior in selling mobile phones over Apple. Now to keep our eyes set on Samsung, which is the real competitor for Nokia.

Beautiful Unusual Golden Tabby Tiger

The very unusual Golden Tabby Tiger is sometimes known as Strawberry Tiger has light gold fur, pale legs and faint orange stripes. Its fur tends to be much thicker than normal. There are extremely few Golden Tabby Tigers in captivity, around 30 in all.

A Golden Tabby Tiger is one with an extremely rare color variation caused by a recessive gene and is currently only found in captive tigers. It is a color form and not a separate species. These tigers tend to be larger and all Golden Tabby Tigers have mainly Bengal parentage like their cousins -the White Tigers.

Zero Emissions | 4 Wheel Electric Motorcycle

When you first see the vehicle above you instantly notice its unusual, futuristic design. This 4 wheeled beast is a zero emissions motorcycle concept developed by designer Wes Rhoad. The presence of an electric motor for motorcycles is nothing new, but this is not just a electric motorcycle. “Zero Emissions” – is a concept design of a 4 wheel motorcycle with an electric motor that is placed in the front and rear wheels complete with an on-board processor that controls the torque. Expected maximum speed of the motorcycle is about 90mph with operating range being around 124 miles and hits 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.More images and information after the jump!

Concept phone – Mobile script

A contemporary mobile phone must maintain such functions, as: mobility, constant Internet access, access to the documents, games and to give the best possibilities and means of communication and contact. A new generation mobile phone “Mobile script” gives all these possibilities!

It has two touch screen (small and large), which provide the best access to information and provide a wide field of communications, such as:

Ability to view movies
Using the browser
Targeting areas with the help of internet services
All of these functions is more convenient to use on a large screen, which is located inside the phone in the collapsed state.

Big screen consists of 2 layers: a soft OLDE – touchscreen and soft nano material hardening in the filing of low-voltage nego. At the time opening screen hard and bouncy, after work on the side of the screen is pressed Eject, and becomes soft and mosey inside.
The “Mobile Script” mobile phone does not require a power charge, its case is covered with a nano material, converting the Sun light into the energy for your phone feed. At your phone’s display you can watch how much charge is left at the battery and how strong the power of the light which charges the battery is. The mobile phone will automatically give the pieces of advice and clues, when a power recharge is needed, also it is possible to put the mobile phone for a night on a special wireless recharge rug or to recharge the device with a similar wireless way in any public place, where this service is rendered, whether it be: the public transport, a bar or a club.

Diagonal internal screen is 9.5 inches. And you get a Laptop in Your Pocket.

Top 10 Smart Phones 2010

LG-Optimus GT540

LG's been cranking out these popstar phones for a while now. Low on specs, high on shine. Case in point - the Optimus GT540. I'll call it the GT 540 because there's nothing Optimus (Prime) about it. It's ok on the resolution (320 x 480) but low on onboard memory (114 MB). And for some heathen reason, doesn't have Stereo Bluetooth or predictive text. What am I supposed to do without the two? I can't call or text conveniently.

seemed interesting, but then it got out-specced by The Blackberry bold

Blackberry Bold

It could have been the Curve 3G. Or not. Because the Bold out-specs the Curve 3G. Let's see:
the phone is a wee bit bigger and heavier, but don't you want a bit of heft (just an ounce more) than the the 3G. Poetically, that one ounce can be justified by a richer screen (480x320), a better camera with added zoom.

IPhone 4

Is the iPhone 4 here for old times sake? The antennae issue (which, Apple assures is, " is even smaller than we originally thought.") brought it back into MensXP top-ten consciousness. While reports of it's various glitches and vulnerabilities (buggy proximity sensor, the frail rear camera with poor white balance, breakage on the glass that is “Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer…30 times harder than plastic,”. It's still shattering the world over.

We keep it in the list for iOS, the Mac after sales service and Retina Display.

Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung's here for daring to talk on the iPhone by launching the Galaxy S, and specifically the Samsung Galaxy S. Super AMOLED for the Retina Display, Android 2.1 for iOS, 1GHz for i GHZ, and Accelerometer sensor, Proximity Sensor, Digital Compass

HTC Desire HD

The awesome display, fast performance, and flawless touchscreen/trackpad experience are something to behold.

On the other hand, there's the weak battery.

Nokia C7

The only reason the N8 isn't on this list is because the N8 isn't here (yet).
However, the stainless steel and glass C7 (inspired by someone?), a powerful 8 MP camera with HD video, and 32 GB of expandable memory (8 GB onboard). What's really new for the C7 is Symbian ^3. The OS has gone social; tie your contact to their social profiles.
Your email accounts have their own widgets, and display everything on the home screen.
What's really cool is noise cancellation; a second microphone records ambient noises, and creates opposite frequencies to mute it out.As for email, you can setup one Microsoft Exchange account, and up to ten other email accounts such as Gmail or a personal address. These can have their own widgets, displaying a list of your most recent messages right there on the home screen.

HTC Desire HD

A satisfying 3.7 inch touch screen with AMOLED, and 7 home screens, and the necessary 1 GHZ Snapdragon processor to power it all.Froyo will fix the missing HD video recording and low internal storage. It'd have been awesome, but for the HDMI, quiet earpiece and the battery life (charge it everyday, if you want to use it like a smartphone ought to be)
5 MBP cam, fm radio, wifi, lots of RAM (576 MB)

Nokia N900

The N900 ranks high on smartphone sweetness. 5 MP camera,32 GB of space. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. However, limited access to apps, no syncing with Exchanger Server 2003 and it's boring interface mean it needs to go back to the workshop.

HTC HD2

3.5-inch for the iPhone 4. The Samsung Galaxy S is 4 inches.
The biggest HTC yet, the HTC HD 2 is 4.3 inches.
The big-ness of the HD2's physicality is present in the buttons - there's the good old fashioned red and green Start and kill-call buttons, but then there are also buttons for start, home and back. It comes preloaded with Windows Mobile® 6.5 Professional (which I frankly don't care much about, roll out Windows 7 already!), and the Froyo (Android 2.2) is out for HTC HD2.
The HD2 has also embraced a simpler way of displaying notification from email, SMS, phone logs, and Facebook right next to a person's photo.

There's the subtle too: the ringer volume level scales down when you pick up,
Forget the challenge of jumping from your calendar to your phone application while trying to find and memorize the number for your next conference call. On HTC HD2, conference call reminders conveniently appear with a big dial button ready for you to press, even the PIN is displayed, so you’ll never miss out on the latest strategy session.

Blackberry Pearl 9105

The Pearl 9105 is an introductory Blackberry. No QWERTY, if you've gotten spoiled on the QWERTY-for-less fleet of Chinese phones. it's the smallest Blackberry yet, but the same reliable access to the Blackberry feature suite. Doesn't have a radio.

Xperia X 10 Mini Pro

The X 10 Mini Pro is compact. However, that doesn't bode well for an expensive Android smartphone. Maybe the QWERTY ate up the space.
Sony Ericsson's added maybe 3 mm in thickness to the Mini Pro, and 30 grams more. If you want to buy it for cuteness, it's a yes - primarily because the specs aren't compromised.5MP camera, Wi-fi, GPS, 3.5G.
The screen is low-res, and that's not fair. the Android's old 1.6) - that's just wrong, especially if you compare it's price to the HTC Widfire's bigger screen, Android 2.1 and HTC's 'Sensual' UI.
