Hands on with LG's watch phone

This looks pretty cool and easy to carry around, but is this gadget user-friendly enough? I am not too keen in this though!

"Clean" Windows phone 7

Microsoft is said to go clean with the Windows phone 7 gadgets. The company has published a few guidelines for developers who intend to produce applications for the new operating system. There shall be no intense violence or programs that have sexual themes.

It seems like this clean approach may help win parents over. Apps developers are advised not to include images or themes that are sexually suggestive, or anything that show the private privates, including the nipples and buttocks.

However, there is a limit the level of violence that would be allowed. Extreme gore and violence such as exploding body parts, cruelty to people or animals, decapitation, sexual interactions will also not be allowed. This is compared to the Apple as well, where there is a very clear understanding that sexually explicit nature is also not allowed in the iTunes. This is a totally different tune to that of the android market, where "some" sexual content is allowed.

Would you buy a Nokia in future?

I came across this gadgets website the other day, and I saw this question that was posted there. If you were to ask me this question several years back, I would have answered 'yes' for sure. However, I beg to differ today. It seems like Nokia is losing out on its technology in terms of operating systems, applications, etc.

I strongly believe that Nokia is losing out on its market share, especially when the iPhone was launched several years back. It seems like Nokia has not recovered from this. To make things worse, Google joined the mobile industry with its android platform, which I think is pretty cool. I'm not sure how big the android market is, but it has already overtaken the iPhone.

Many have long abandoned their phones for other brands, including me. I was an avid fan of Nokia until I start using the Samsung Galaxy S. What about you? Would you get another gadget, or would you continue using Nokia? Go to the link here and voice your opinions.

The top five mobile phones

If you're looking for a new mobile phone, then you may want to find out which are the best gadgets for 2010. The search stops here. Here are the top five mobiles that you can find, as reviewed by t3.com.

1. The first mobile is none other than the Apple iPhone 4. The new improved iPhone comes with a five megapixel camera and a new videoconferencing feature. It's faster than the previous iPhones and this allows you to do multi tasking like never before.

2. HTC Desire. I'm not sure about this phone, but it comes with android 2.1 processor that makes web browsing and rather easy.

3. HTC Legend. It has a bright screen, with the fast Internet browser. However, the battery life is rather short.

4. Samsung Galaxy S. I'm currently holding onto this phone and I simply adore the AMOLED screen. It's a lot better than my previous Nokia phones.

5. Google Nexus One. This is Google's first attempt at the smart phone industry and it comes with a 1 GHz processor. It has a responsive touch screen. However, this phone is often compared to the HTC Desire, which is a lot better in a few other aspects.

My conclusion? I've tried the Samsung Galaxy S and my vote goes to this phone. :)

Sagem Puma phone review

This phone offers a completely different mobile experience, trying to create a new experience in this saturated market. This is a sports phone and I am not sure if this is even a mobile, although there are some interesting features in here.

What is strange about the selling point of this phone is the solar panel and operating system, and not the functionality. From the review that I have read, I think this is by far one of the most 'outdated gadget' launched so far this year. I think Puma has to look for alternatives.

Samsung Galaxy U unveiled

Samsung Galaxy U may not have seem as impressive as the Galaxy S, but it is still worth checking out
It is still in a class of its own, and deserves our attention.

The Galaxy U features network specifications for J-CDMA and CDMA Rev.A, and it features a 3.7 AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen display with 16M colour support. This is the main reason why I like the Galaxy S. Awesome and beautiful display.

It comes with a 1GHz processor and there is also a 5MP auto-focus camera on the back, with the record video up to 720p HD. It runs on the Android Operating System, but we are not sure which version would it be. No word on exact release date or how much it will cost, but that should come soon enough. Oh, and it comes in white and black. Read the full details here http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-u-specifications-revealed-20100818/

It is legal to jailbreak your iPhones and mobiles now!

The US Copyright Office has given the world the power to mess around with the software found on iPhones. This decision has upset Apple, since users are now able to "execute software applications". The law will allow users to unlock their devices so that they can run apps that Apple do not allow.

Apple argued that this decision to allow jailbreaking the gadgets would result in "copyright infringement, potential damage to the device and other optential harmful physical effects, adverse effects on the functioning of the gadgets, and also a breach of contract".

However, these claims were denied on the considerations that jailbreaking can enhance inter-operability of the phone, and thus should be legal under fair uses. The rules, however, do not affect the warranty rules set out by these companies. The new rules apply to any other mobiles as well.

Free Samsung Galaxy S for unhappy iPhone 4 users?!

You could have landed yourself with a free Samsung Galaxy S mobile if you are living in UK! Apparently, Samsung has come up with an incredible offer for unhappy iPhone 4 users in UK. I am not sure if this is a marketing strategy, but it has definitely caught my attention.

Samsung has claimed that is Galaxy S is way better than iPhone 4, and is giving it away for free so that users can compare which is better just to prove this point. A pity I don't stay in UK! How about extending this offer to Singapore as well when we launch the iPhone 4 here? LOL!

Android Market VS Apple Apps Store - Battle Of The Giants

There are quite a number of discussions lately regarding the differences between Apple's iPhone and Google's Andriod. This is a largely debated issued with the operating systems and the gadgets themselves that are in use today. There is less emphasis on the apps stores though. There are a few differences between the Apple apps store and Android market, and you should decide which is the best for you.

Clearly, Apple is closing its doors to open apps. Applications must be submitted to Apple for reviews and Apple will then decide if that app can be sold or not in the Apple App store. On the other hand, Andriod Market is an open system, where developers can directly publish their apps to the market without having to go through any authority. This would mean that the Android Market wil have more varieties, but you migh need to sacrifice quality for quantity. Thankfully, there is a rating system and comments section which can help eradicate those poorly designed apps. The iPhone and Android-based mobiles are probably one of the best gadgets today, thanks to these apps.

Android Market also allows a full refund if you are unhappy with your purchase. All you have to do is to uninstall the app within 24 hours of buying. This is a lot better and makes shopping for the right apps more convenient. If the app does not work properly, or is something that you don't like, then uninstall it and you get a full refund. Apple does not allow that though. Make sure you like the app before buying it! If you wish to buy either of these gadgets, please check your right for more information!

Samsung Jet mobile gadget

Samsung has come up with a feature gadget that is even smarter than a smartphone, that only push people and review sites gaming for a test. The touchscreen phone packs an 800 MHz processor, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support and a series of other wireless features.

It is compact and fits into the pocket rather well, and the buttons are well designed. However, you can leave your fingerprints rather easily. No real complains about it, since most mobile gadgets have this problem anyway.

There is this Speak call accelerometer-based functions found on the Jet. Moving the phone away from your face during a call and placing it on a flat surface activates the speakphone. I thought this is rather cool. With an onscreen alphanumeric pad or a QWERTY keyboard, you can send messages with ease. All in all, this is a cool gadget that is worth looking into.
