4 Products Fail in 2010

Year 2010 that will end soon leaving the interesting stories around the business and economics. Technology sector in this year back into the sector showing rapid development. In the technology sector recorded some splashy events and amusing throughout 2010. Some of the following events may be your own experience and make you smile wryly. Enjoy! (23/12)

IPhone Antenna Gate



for the audience of Apple products, iPhone 4 is the most awaited product in the year 2010, but poor on the first day of sales, Apple directly received complaints from users of the iPhone 4. Some owners report, several times the signal reception is very bad, even disappear altogether.

Apparently the problem is related to the new antenna design that is applied on the iPhone 4. Apple makes the stainless steel lining that surrounds the device as the external antenna in hopes of capturing a better signal. However, touch the hand of the antenna can cause interference that would undermine the ability of signal reception.

Steve Jobs deliver information to consumers who protest to "avoid holding the iPhone the wrong way. " This is certainly unacceptable and not defuse protests from users who are already disappointed with this product. Although the time to insist that the iPhone antenna is not problematic, but finally on July 16, and a press conference, Jobs acknowledged that "We're not perfect. "

Microsoft's "Kill 'Kin


Microsoft Kin is Microsoft's smart-phone which reportedly require funds worth nearly 1 billion dollars for development and release. Age of this product is very short, only about 1.5 months. After its first launch on 13 May, the product was discontinued on June 30, due to extremely poor sales (some sources state that this product is only sold over 10,000 units). However, Kin is slowly returning to arise in the market on November 18th, though with a much lower price. Kin ONEm sells for 50 dollars while Kin TWOm only be priced at 20 dollars.

Though the price adjustments that achieve a discount of 60% of original price, the sale of this device does not improve, Kin deemed unfit holds the status as a "smart-phone ".


The failure of Google's Doubles



Google Buzz is a Google product before its launch highly touted. This product was announced on February 9, 2010 at a news conference at Google headquarters in Mountain View and launched on the same day, at 11.00 am (local time) for the first wave.

Google intregasi Buzz is a social networking tool and a communication tool created by Google, designed and in intregasi to one of Google services ie Gmail. Links are divided and a message appears on the user's inbox. Buzz intregasi focus in her photos, videos, and links that take some of the aspects of the "conversation" of Gmail like a series of discussions or conversations on Google Talk. IT experts say that Google buzz to take some elements of social networking that already exists such as the ability of Twitter microblogging and the element of "Like" from the up with a simple view, map view similar Foursquare.

However, direct Buzz hated by Gmail users. Buzz breach of privacy because Gchat status should only be viewed by certain people who are permitted by the owner of the account, it turns out automatically appear on Buzz feed people who never send an email with the account owner who also uses the Buzz.

For the exploitation of this privacy breach privacy sued Google on 16 February. Fiasco has made Google must spend the settlement funds of 8.5 million dollars.

Not enough to make trouble with Google's Buzz feature, following the second failure in the features of Google TV. Who wants to relax on the sofa with a laptop on your lap? Is not the essence of watching TV is so that we could take a break from the computer? That's why 55% of users said in a survey that they "hate" Google TV.



Google TV also tripped over licensing issues from several television networks. Fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC has reportedly pulled from their access to Google TV. Google was expected to announce the extension of cooperation with the network next month, but seeing the lack of agreement seems to interest the users will be delayed.

Advantages of LCD Screens

With the increasing demand and rapidly growing technology, large computer screens or monitors have seen significant drop in price. For instance, the price for a 21-inch monitor is reduced down in price to $600-$1200 which is a drop from $1500-$2000. In addition, the size of the monitor is increasing everyday like the one measuring 24" has become common in use.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has gained huge popularity in recent years and most of the market analysts have a prediction that LCD will replace CRT in less than 5 years from now at least for those being bought new. There are several benefits that LCD screens offers in comparison to traditional CRT monitors except they are highly priced, which again is understandable because of the latest technology used. In addition, we all know as the demand will go up, the price will automatically go up rapidly.

The most important benefit of an LCD screen is it has significantly low radiation emissions that enable the monitor to be used in the environments sensitive to the radiation like hospitals. Another disadvantage of the CRT is its heavy weight with the increase in size. A 21" CRT monitor can be triple the weight of an LCD of the same size.

Another visual advantage of LCD monitors is the quality of image it produces. Because of LCD's cell level picture display, it has almost no flicker and very clear display quality. Because of cells placement per pixel, LCD monitors are costly to produce and hence the higher price. With the technological advancement and increasing demands, an LCD monitor will also offer competitive pricing structures in near future.

Laser Printer Vs Inkjet Printers - The Ultimate Debate

When asked to make a decision between laser and inkjet printers, consider several variables, such as the tasks involved, your overall budget, and the amount of room you have to house your machine.

The Big Locomotive

Laser printers are luxurious, provide high quality results, and use a xerographic process to bond toner to paper. While initially the cost is higher than an inket printer; over the long-term, expenses are significantly lower. Toner is stored in special cartridges which provide a fairly large printing capacity. These printers produce excellent quality results with distinctive detail. Because of this superior detail, they are able to print even the smallest fonts clearly and produce excellent monochrome text results. However, laser printers are usually large and heavy and require more space than other inkjet hardware.

The Little Engine that Could

Inkjet printers are available in many affordable options, with basic models retailing for $100 or less, making them a cheaper alternative. Inkjet printers spray liquid ink out of cartridge heads in order to produce print. While they print slower than laser printers, they produce high-quality photos and other image publications. They take up less space and are moderately lightweight. An inkjet photo printer that produces standard-sized photographs can fit almost anywhere.

Laser printers are better suited for businesses due to their high quality output while inkjet printers are ideal for photographers and other creative people who want to print images. Determine your printing requirements, space and budget to choose the best option for your needs.

Acer Aspire One D255

Let’s take a close look under the hood of Acer Aspire One D255 netbook. What makes this new model special? Well, it’s one of the few 10″ models with dual core 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 processor. Now, this makes it special!! This laptop is about 15% more efficient than single core netbook. Battery still lasts up to 8 hours. Last pro we mention is that it can handle 720p HD Flash video nicely. In some parts of the world this netbook is offered with Android dual boot option but not here in states.

Now, let’s take a look at cons. Acer Aspire One D255 screams under pressure of HD QuickTime files and the cursor doesn’t respond well to the touchpad.

Acer Aspire One D255 will cost you about $349. Similar machine we should mention is Acer Aspire One 521 for about the same money, but with significantly better CPU and graphics performance, but you won’t get 8 hours on a charge. Maybe 5 tops.

A Slide Scanner - A Fantastic Method To Digitize Your Old Photos

A slide scanner is a device which can be connected to your computer or laptop that reads a conventional 35mm slide and provides you with a digital copy of the picture. Those devices could be compact standalone gadgets which are specific to the purpose of scanning slides, or they may be an attachment to a standard flat bed scanner.

Slide scanners are becoming more and more popular as more and more people take up digital photography and realize that they don't have electronic versions of their old photographs. The benefit of scanning a slide vs scanning a photograph is that there seems to be a lot better definition and less noise in the output photograph.

There are a variety of slide scanners available and these vary in price from a quite low budget to extremely high price, as is the way with most things nowadays and you actually do get what you pay for. If you do want to spend some more money it is possible to get a 35mm slide scanner, which has a built in drum that automatically feeds the slides into the scanner in almost the same way as an old slide projector would.

This kind of auto-feed scanner might be well worth the investment, should you have a large quantity of slides to scan. Another advantage of scanning those old slides is that you could then tweak the output images using application such as PhotoShop, which is something that would have been unknown when the pictures were originally taken.

For this reason a slide scanner might be the perfect gift for any enthusiastic photographer who has moved from a standard 35mm SLR to a latest Digital SLR camera and who's now comfortable using applications to get just the correct picture.

HP Photosmart 7960 Review

HP's Photosmart 7960 may well appear costly, but you get a great deal for your money. A built-in LCD enables you to preview as well as change images ahead of printing, or you may print straight from digital media as well as an HP Direct Print camera. Best of all, the machine produces among the best photos we've viewed so far from a photo inkjet. It's an excellent selection for anyone who loves to take and print digital pictures.

The 7960's 19.5-inch width is wide with respect to an inkjet, but its over all size can easily allow for a great deal of extra features. Under a clear plastic cover, a range of digital-media slots allow you to print direct from CompactFlash, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, and also xD-Picture Card media. Additionally you get a USB port allowing you to connect a notebook computer or perhaps a direct-printing camera. The three ink cartridges needed in the Photosmart 7960's eight-colour printing need the print carriage to be a bit larger compared to normal. The Photosmart 7960 takes a USB cable, which is available separately.

On the front panel, a 2.5-inch colour Liquid crystal display enables you to examine and edit pictures prior to printing. A few buttons handle the LCD's options.

The Photosmart 7960's paper handling is around the average for an inkjet, however it is tuned towards picture printing. The input tray holds 25 sheets of photo paper, 100 sheets of plain paper, or 15 envelopes. Output capacity is 20 sheets of photo paper, 50 sheets of plain paper, as well as 10 envelopes.

The Photosmart 7960 works with Windows 98 or higher as well as Mac OS 9.1 or higher. Set up is an easy question of loading the best suited drivers from the provided Compact disc and then plugging in the machine to an accessible USB port.

The 7960 model is really user-friendly that we employed the printed handbook only once - to determine how to place the photo paper.

The Liquid crystal display allows you to carry out basic editing tasks, for instance getting rid of red-eye, improving brightness, and adding a frame. You can also produce an album or even print an index page without the need for a Computer. Mailing pictures through e-mail calls for a Computer, however it is simple: press the E-mail button and then continue with the measures layed out within HP's excellent software.

The included Compact disc includes a selection of helpful software that should allow you to accomplish a good many jobs you're liable to wish for with ease.

Photo output when using the HP Photosmart 7960 ink cartridges was in fact some of the best we have actually witnessed. It printed skin tones smoothly and also consistently. The unit reproduced with no trouble difficult juxtapositions of textures, colours, and shading in the test photo. Graphics output on the HP inkjet paper was in addition excellent. Actually, we'd never seen such vibrant shading and also gradient parts with our evaluation document; and the line drawings as well as fine details were all spot-on. In general, having said that, the colour seemed basically pale in comparison with that of the original. Text was decent as well as dark yet slightly fuzzy about the edges. Nevertheless, when we did some everyday printing with higher-quality, coated inkjet paper, the text seemed significantly crisper.

The Photosmart 7960 unquestionably takes its time. Our tests revealed a common photo printing rate of 5.3 minutes per 8.5x11 page. Text documents printed at 2.2 pages per minute, about average with regard to a photo printer.

10 Tablet Computer Replacement iPad - Part two

5. Dell Streak





Dell Streak was originally wanted to become the first serious contender for the iPad, but unfortunately not for various reasons. Streak Dell only has a 5 inch screen, so the visual impact iPad tablet can not be replicated by Dell. Second, Streak can be used as a phone, assuming you do not mind holding something sized loaf of bread into your ear.

But Streak has shown that Android is suitable for a device that is significantly greater than the telephone. One of the things that is disappointing is that Dell chose to launch Streak with Android 1.6, not version 2.1, which complements the majority of phones at the time.

Dell Streak is a different product with the iPad, but also a very good, so Dell may enter the Streak for your consideration. So, if you are looking for a tablet device that is smaller than the iPad, Dell streak worthy of consideration.


4. Toshiba Folio




Toshiba's new tablet showcased at IFA Folio told reporters last month. Folio with 10.1-inch screen it is intended to compete with the iPad, through a visual experience similar to Apple iPad.

The Folio uses Nvidia Tegra platform 2 and run the latest Android Froyo 2.2. The version we saw at IFA supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, but without 3G. Toshiba had planned to make a 3G version, but the first version of the Folio clearly intended to compete with Wi-Fi version of the iPad.

Features that are owned, among others, an SD card slot for expanded storage, front facing webcam for video calls and HDMI output for playing back HD video content on a TV or monitor. The downside is the weight of 760g, makes Folio 80 g heavier than the iPad, which is not too mild.

The selling price in Indonesia for Toshiba Folio approximately 5.8 million, making Folio cheaper than the WiFi version of the iPad.

3. HP PalmPad



HP Slate may not appear, but that does not mean that HP has been surrendered. When HP bought the Palm, it was obvious that WebOS is one factor driving the acquisition. Now, armed with touch-based interface that is really impressive, HP just come with the hardware alone.

HP has acknowledged that the tablet-based WebOS is being prepared for launch early 2011, so we probably will see it at CES in January. HP officials, Todd Bradley also said the devices will come as a "PalmPad", but is it true?

No word at all about PalmPad, but given how good is on the smartphone PalmPre WebOS, it's fair to assume that it will be very impressive on the device larger and more powerful. And, HP clearly knows how to make good hardware.

2. RIM BlackBerry Playbook


RIM BlackBerry artificial, in effect, managed to create a mobile email application. But in the case of devices with touch screen, RIM needs to struggle to compete with the iPhone and Android devices. Even so, RIM has the courage to enter the tablet market with the BlackBerry Playbook.

Blackberry Playbook is a 7-inch tablet with a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. Using processor 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and storage capacity to 32GB, depending on the model. The screen uses capacitive screen type and RIM promised that it will create some unique touch technology.

Playbook also equipped with front and rear camera, with 3-megapixel resolution and a 5-megapixel camera. Connectivity owned include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but no 3G, at least for the first generation product.

Blackberry Playbook will run the QNX operating system homemade RIM OS, making it unique in the market. He also promised to support the video codec is impressive, with DivX quality of the original, so biased to the heavy competition from Archos tablets.

Blackberry Playbook will start shipping in early 2011 in the United States, while other parts of the world have to wait until mid-2011.
 




There are many reasons why the Samsung Galaxy Tabs are on top of this list, but the most important thing is that you can buy it. Well, at least you will be able to buy it in a short time. Unlike Playbook new BlackBerry will be marketed in mid-2011, Samsung has officially announced that Galaxy Tab has been sold on 1 November.

Galaxy Tab Samsung is equipped with 7-inch screen, with 1024 x 600 widescreen. Galaxy Tab Froyo using the latest version of Android 2.2, which is supported by a 1GHz CPU processor ARM Cortex A8. You get full connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G data. There is also a microSD card slot to expand storage easily and cheaply - something that may never be available in Apple products.

Tablet computer device from Samsung is quite beautiful, although not as sweet as the iPad. However, smaller and lighter than the iPad. The experience overall was not too disturbed by a smaller screen. It appears that 7-inch screen is ideal for tablet devices.

Overall, Samsung Galaxy Tab beat iPad in many ways. However, keep in mind, that this will push Apple to soon release a second generation of the iPad next year.

And even though the BlackBerry Playbook seem to have better specs than Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab, however, we do not know what Apple and Samsung have to offer at launch BlackberryPlaybook.

So, if you are looking for the best tablet computer today, a tablet computer that is rich in features, the Samsung Galaxy Tab should be on your list at the top.

10 Computer Replacement Tablet iPad - Part one

Apple not only revive interest in the tablet computer, even a kind of hysteria has been created so that now all eyes are on a tablet computer.

There was no denying that IPAD is the charming and fun to use, but not everyone wants to buy Apple products and are influenced by their marketing tricks.

With that basis, we make ten iPad alternatives and put them in a certain order to prove that Apple is not the only one.

10. Amazon Kindle




Amazon Kindle seems no real competition for the tablets with a feature complete as the iPad, but actually this is their origins. Apple iPad has more functions than just an e-book reader. So if that's the main reason you buy the iPad, you really should consider the latest Amazon Kindle.

The best development in the latest generation of Kindle Amazon Kindle is available in the UK, complete with shops Kindle in the UK to support it. Additionally a simple model, which is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, only sold about 1.6 million only! While the version equipped with Wi-Fi and 3G data only sold about 2.2 million alone, making it a very affordable alternative to a tablet e-book reader.

With 4GB of storage media, the Kindle can store about 3,500 books. With a battery life of about one month Kindle, iPads battery life of only 10 hours, should be unattractive. Characteristics of e-ink displays that allow it to happen. In addition, the eye is much easier to read on-screen e-ink rather than read an LCD display. The difference is the e-ink screen look gray and static.

So, if the main reason you're interested in buying iPad is as an e-book reader, consider carefully whether to buy the Amazon Kindle before spending your money.

9. HP Slate





Although it was promoted at the CES in January, HP Slate never made it to the production line. A few months ago everyone, including us, think that the Slate will be the main competitor for the iPad, but then rumors that HP has killed Slate flooding the web.

The original specification for Slate including Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM and up to 64GB flash-based storage. However, the issue is the choice of Windows 7 as the operating system. Many people doubted whether the display quality can match the iPad.

Then HP bought the Palm and its WebOS platform, and rumors about a tablet device that is equipped WebOS Slate will replace flooded the internet. With WebOS, HP Slate might be able to compete directly with the iPad. Meanwhile, with operating system Windows 7, this product would be better suited to fill the corporate market.

Fitu-features in Windows 7 will facilitate integration with IT infrastructure in a company. This will enable corporate users to enjoy the experience of tablets, with functionality as a traditional notebook.

So what ereader will you choose? Well, we will need to take a better look at both of them and see what they can do.

Readability: Both of our devices are very much excelling at this chapter, but they are different in some regards. When it comes to the iPad, its screen is a very complex and good IPS LED screen that is backlit. When it comes to the Kindle, it just uses a standard screen that features no backlighting options. But regardless of this, I am prone to giving the Kindle the win here, for it is way better than the iPad.

You will see that the e-ink technology behind the Kindle will make the text look better than on the iPad and it will not cause that much eye strain when using it, as compared to the iPad. So when it comes to the technology, the Kindle is very much the winner here as it let us immerse in a very pleasant reading session and even after reading 3 hours my favorite book, Peter Pan, my eyes were still feeling great.

It doesn't mean that the iPad is to be left aside and when it comes to it, it still has a screen that will make many similar devices very jealous. In certain situations, the iPad's screen utterly blows the Kindle's screen away.

Ease of use: This is a point where both devices are very good and you will be let in a very pleasant experience. So, if you are looking to buy an e-book, then you will not have any problems doing so, for with both of these devices you can connect to a bookstore and buy the one you need in just a few seconds. But what is better about the Kindle is that you can take the books you want on it and be able to read them on any other device you want. This is something that you will never be let in on while using the iPad. Thumbs down and a slap for that!

Cost: Well, the iPad can cost between $499 and $799 while the Kindle is just $250. You do the math.
