Projector mobiles! The latest technology creeping into the market step by step – inbuilt projector in a mobile. Spice and G’Five entered the projector phone market quite early, they were the first in India. Now MAXX mobiles have launched their projector mobile.
Named as MAXX Focus, it stands very much advanced from its pioneers. It has a Full Touch Screen, Two sockets for the sim – A Dual Sim, and inbuilt projector. Not only these special features, but it has a decent 5MP camera and 2.8 inch displays, runs on a 208MHz processor. It includes the basic features – bluetooth, wireless radio, video and audio player, USB support and a memory slot. These are more-than-enough features that can be expected from a mobile priced at 6999 INR.
Java Games and Applications comes pre-loaded in the handset.

Import Orkut Photos to Google+

by Leave a Comment

Long back, by the end of June 2011, Google plus a.k.a Google+ was released as an ‘invite only’ trial product. Lucky me, I got an Google plus account on July 4th. It was great exploring the new concepts – Circles, Sparks, Hangouts. Everyone should be having an account in Google’s New Social networking site as its no more a test product and it was officially launched to the public on September 20th. To read more on Google plus have a check on Google’s Official Blog.
With so many Social sites available its really tough to be in just one site these days. Myspace, FaceBook, FourSquare, Friendster, Last.fm lots more and even Google’s own products like the Orkut, Google Buzz, Google Wave, iGoogle. Its definitely impossible to upload photos in all the sites you have an account. Why not transfer photos from one to the other?
As Orkut started dying due to the exponential sudden growth of Facebook, my friends naturally shifted to Facebook, and again when Google plus came, most of the people who are die hard Google fans starting moving again (I’m one among them.)

Too many steps huh? Now there is an option in Google plus itself.

Simply click it, You will get redirected to Orkut Photo Importer. Select your albums to be transferred. Click ‘Import selected’
Ta!daah..!! Its done!
But dont forget to change its privacy settings, Thats most important in security as well sharing!

YouTube gets ‘Face’ change

by Leave a Comment

Google is a lot changing these days, Changing all its colours to pure clean white and shades of Black and Red. We had its social networking site G+ with a new theme, different from other Google products. And after its official launch, Google has been shutting down many of its unused (better to say less used) applications like the Wave, Buzz and lot more. And in the past two months we saw our Google Sign-in Page change, followed by its Reader, Blogger, Gmail and Picasa had a name change – thats all what I use much from Google.
2nd of december we see YouTube getting a new face! It has got no Static bars, but still its Pretty cool. This generation would have hardly a few who doesnt know YouTube.
In its general look, we have its categories listed at its left, you hit on a tag, the central white strip shows you a list of videos and followed by right most bar having the ‘Featured videos.

And looking into the changes in the personal profile, we have our subscriptions on our left dark bar, contents of selected subscription in the centre whit strip and ‘Recommended videos’ on the right most bar.

 Everything is changing in Google! After all Change keeps you High!

Napster dies! Officially joins Rhapsody

by Leave a Comment

Napster, originally co-founded by Shawn Fanning, John Fanning and Sean Parker was started as an independent peer-to-peer file sharing service. It soon gained a pack of High Profile enemies because music sharing made them look hardly legal. They were defeated, noone is fully successful. They did come back, a great comeback with a legal music sharing service. And for past few months they are into a lot of trouble until they joined with Rhapsody on december 1st.
They got their service fully shut down officially and the domain Napster.com has got some changes, directs its good old customers to Rhapsody. And they got this proud banner saying ‘America’s largest community of music lovers’.

Rhapsody’s home page has got changes too. Invites its Napster customers.

Samsung Champ 2 – Coming Soon

by Leave a Comment

    Samsung leads the smartphone market, despite its too many battles against the gaint Apple, spread over half the continents. The company has let down its low end models. The Korean company, launched its low end Java Touch mobiles long back in the June of 2010, Under the series named Champ. Samsung C3300K (or C3303 Champ) was the first model of the series. As it was the beginning of the Smartphone trend, the mobile had a decent welcome in India, It started replacing the basic mobiles.

    Touch Phone era has brought desire in most of the people (atleast for those who are aware that something revolutionary is happening in the mobile technology). The Entry of Android, battling against the existing giants like the iOS, Blackberry OS, WP, Meego made the number of smartphones available increase in great numbers. Growing development enhanced the Touchphones with Android OS and lots of mobiles were pouring out. Every week there were atleast 2 mobiles newly releasing in the near end of 2010. Sammy took the advantage of the craze  for touchmobiles and the interest in Dual sim mobiles and gave a hybrid mobile combining the features of the Duos series and Champ series as Samsung Champ Duos E2652 announced.
    World is getting too hasty. Everyone needs speed. Everyone needs things done quick. Why not mobile users wish speed? 3G Technology provided us with download speeds of 7.2 Mbps. Samsung announced Samsung S3770 (a.k.a Samsung Champ 3.5 G).
Still Samsung feels, its customers are not satisfied. The Former released Champ had just 1.3 MP camera which was so disappointing. FM recording was not included. Added with this features is the next ‘Coming Soon’ Samsung Champ 2 (model number C3330).
Improved Features:
  • Camera – 2 MP 1600×1200 pixels (1.3MP 1280×1024 pixels is the previous model)
  • FM recording
  • Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP (v2.0 is previous model)
  • Increased Stand-by time and Talk time
  • Social Integration
  • Memory Card slot capacity upto 16GB (8GB previous model)
Cons:
  • 3G radio and WiFi wasn’t added (though is was available in Champ 3G)
  • No secondary camera
  • No GPS facilities
  • Internal memory is just 20MB
User Point of View:
  • Not many Java Apps are supported.
  • The device is not robust. You may get the camera damaged if you drop down, But still nothing happens to the device.
  • But still considering the money you pay for the device and considering the facilities, the Cons are not to be worried about.
  • I personally suggest one can have this device for doing the original mobile functions like Call, Messageing, Browsing and use another high end for the other extra features like Watching movies, Capturing 1080p videos, HDMI connection with your Big TV
