How to convert DVD/Video to Android phone MP4, AVI, WMV, MP3, etc.

Google's I/O developers’ conference was held on May 19, finally named "Froyo frozen yogurt" of the latest version 2.2 Android operation system officially be issued. Then, we need to wait that the new smartphones with new generation of Android 2.2 operating system will be launched. Google bring us the Android system, which interface has more free and affinity and software development has more dependent on the individual developers. Especially in 2010, with the new version, we can see a more excellent intelligent system operation. Now, let’s have a look at which smartphones will have Android 2.2 system.

Motorola Droid2 – it don’t have more high technology then Droid X, but get more attention from people, mainly because of it will be running on the newest Android platform. The Motorola Droid 2 has been snapped in the wild and it looks very similar to the first Motorola Droid. The Motorola Droid 2 which is set to come out this month runs a 750 MHz processor with a 3.7 inch touch screen. Internal storage is at 8GB, augmented with the addition of another 8GB on a flash card. Verizon are set to be the first carriers of the Droid 2, but still no word if other carriers will come on board.

Samsung Galaxy S - The good news is that this handset will come equipped with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box. As reported from BGR, the information has come to us courtesy of MobileCrunch. Specs of the GSM-based Galaxy Q include a 3-inch Super AMOLED display screen with multitouch, an 8 megapixel camera with separate 1.3 megapixel camera on the front, a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor and 16GB of internal memory. Some of you might also be excited to hear that the Samsung Galaxy Q will also come equipped with a QWERTY keyboard.

Samsung Moment 2 - As reported from Phandroid, the device has just passed FCC testing, meaning that a release could be available before the end of the year – likely to be on Sprint first of all. A few images were supplied with the FCC listing, with the main one giving you a decent look at the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Phandroid mention that the Moment 2 is likely to come packed with a 1ghz Cortex-A8 processor, along with at least a 3.5-inch AMOLED screen.
Will this device run the latest version of Android 2.2 Froyo, or will it still come packed with Android 2.1? Now, we don’t know. But according the on-sale date, it maybe updates the new Android 2.2 version.

LG Optimus and LG Chic - The Optimus devices will apparently be running a range of operating systems and will include Android tablet PCs -- that's a pretty comprehensive slice of the market. Two smart phones are already in the pipeline, the LG Optimus One with Google and the LG Optimus Chic, both of which will ship with Android 2.2, aka Froyo.
The LG Optimus One with Google has what's almost certainly the silliest name in the history of smart phones, and we take our hats off to LG, we really do. There's no word yet on whether LG will be skinning this phone with its own version of Android, but the use of 'with Google' leads us to believe it'll be focusing on hardware and leaving the nitty gritty of the phone's features and operating system up to Google, à la the Google Nexus One.
The LG Optimus Chic will appeal to fashion aficionados, we're informed. Here's some of LG's marketing guff: "[The Chic is] challenging the perception that advanced Android devices need to appeal to a hardcore tech crowd to gain widespread acceptance." Yeah you big nerds, stop demanding such ugly phones.
All of them are also good multimedia player. It is really wonderful that we can enjoy our movies and music with smart portable players anytime and anywhere. But you may also get confused with the problem: how to get movies and music into your favorite portable players?

Samsung Epic 4G v.s. iPhone 4G: how to play DVD/Video with new 4G mobile phone

Recently, after several exposures in the network, Samsung in the help of America's third-largest operator - Sprint eventually officially released latest smartphone -- Samsung Epic. As the name "the Epic", it is not only the perfectly followed the strong function of Galaxy S, and provided the support of the Wimax network on the basic of the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. So it became the first sided-out touch screen 4G smartphone in North American. What are main features of it? We are comparison with iPhone 4G.

Display
Epic 4G sports AMOLED 4” screen. It measured 124.8 mm * 64.6 mm*14.2mm and weights 155 grams. Talking about iPhone 4, the screen of size is 3.5” and measured 115.2mm*58.6mm*49.3mm and weights only 137 grams.
At keyboard aspect, Epic has a QWERTY keyboard and iPhone 4 does not include a QWERTY keyboard.
Processor and Operating system
Epic will run Google’s Android 2.1 operating system which can be upgraded to Android 2.2 or Froyo in the future and it is equipped with 1 GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird application processor with a six-axis accelerometer which is known for its speed.
And iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4 and is equipped with 1 GHz processor. But it could be able to offer you a lot more apps, sure enough, so many you won’t know what to do with them. The Epic is not going to offer you as many apps as the iPhone 4.
Connectivity
The Epic get access to 3G and 4G speeds, which should get you download speeds somewhere between 3-6Mbps (according to the release — your real world results will differ on a constant basis). It also be turned into a 3G/4G mobile hotspot, which will allow you to connect up to 5 WiFi-enabled devices at once. As for iPhone 4 finally support 802.11n.
Multimedia
Epic 4G comes with a dual camera with a 5MP and Flash (front facing:VGA) and the ability to record video at 720p. Samsung has its own version of DLNA sharing, called AllShare. You’ll be able to share your music, movies, and pictures on all DLNA-supported devices in your home, wirelessly. And one of the better reasons to do that is Samsung’s new Media Hub, which makes the Epic 4G the first and only 4G-enabled device that is fully optimized to serve HD-like entertainment on a handset’s screen. But most of movies are DVD format. How could I watch them on Samsung smartphone? I search this question on Google and find good software named Nidesoft DVD to Samsung Converter which could help you convert DVD movie to many video formats to support the Samsung family devices, including DVD to Samsung MP4 and MP3 player YP series and Samsung mobile phone. You’ll be able to rent or purchase movies and TV shows wherever you want.
iPhone 4 also has the dual camera settings, the primary in the rear is 5MP with Flash and the front facing is a VGA for video chatting. iPhone 4G lets you record and edit incredible HD video and the popular tap to focus feature now works while recording video. You can use the iPhone 4G‘s LED flash for both still photography and video recording. The new iMovie? app for iPhone lets you combine movie clips, add dynamic transitions and themes and include photos and music, and users can buy it for just $4.99 through the App Store right on their phone.
With its’ build-in powerful multimedia player, iPhone 4G supports lots of audio and video formats. Such as: audio formats: AAC, Protected AAC, HE-AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV. And video formats: H.264, stereo audio in .M4V, .MP4, and .MOV file formats. But the iPhone 4 could support WMV formats. Don’t worry; Nidesoft Video converter could help you! It could convert all other video files into iPhone 4G. It is powerful video conversion software which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats and could support lots of other smartphone, such as : Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, etc. You may try it for your phone.
In addition, Epic 4G supports DLNA, which uses standards-based technology to make it easier for consumers to use, share and enjoy their digital photos, music and videos. iPhone 4 does not happen to support Media Streaming
Battery lift
Epic 4G comes with a 1500mAH battery (Stand by time and talk time has not been published.) and iPhone 4 incorporates a 1200mAH battery (its supports seven hours of talk time on 3G networks, up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi and up to six hours on 3G, and up to 10 hours of video playback and up to 40 hours of audio playback)

Unfortunately, the Samsung Epic does not have photo and video geotagging like the iPhone 4. I would stick with the iPhone 4 since it does offer more of the latest specs. There is no info on when the Samsung Epic is going to become available or how much it is going to set. So, we have to wait and hope it could be published as soon as quickly!

Nokia new C6 simple review: full QWERTY and easy to enjoy DVD/Video

Nokia a Finnish mobile giant has unleashed a new touch screen Smartphone in the form of Nokia C6. It is the second member of the Nokia’s C series. The Nokia C6 looks like a trimmed version of N97. With inclusion of sliding QWERTY keyboard, it will be liked by heavy texters. It features 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, resistive touch screen, good battery, social networking, and 5 megapixel camera. Now, let’s look at the more detail of information about Nokia C6.
Design
To look at initially, the C6 resembles many recent Nokia devices that also boasted a touch screen, such as the 5800. The difference is that the C6 does not rely just on the touch display for data entry, with the inclusion of a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The keys on the keypad are of a good size, and text entry shouldn’t be an issue. Closed up the device measures in at a respectable 113 x 53 x 17mm, and weighs in at the top end of the acceptable scale at 150g. The touch display is a TFT screen, supporting up to 16 million colors, with a pixel resolution of 360 x 640 and measuring 3.2 inches across. The display has a built in auto rotate option, which kicks in when the QWERTY keyboard is opened, as well as within applications that support this feature on the device, such as the web browser. A proximity sensor disables the screen when in call, to stop you accidentally activating apps or undesired in call features.

Nokia C6’s features
The Nokia C6 is running on the Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5. It is pretty much same as other Nokia Symbian phones. The Symbian has lost its sheen with the market is ruled by Android and other smartphones OS. However, the Symbian OS has done a good job her. The Menu system, Icons and interface is very nice.
And its data is saved on a micro SD / SDHC flash memory card that can be inserted in the card slot that can be found on the side of the Nokia C6 handset. Officially, 16GB is named as the maximum storage capacity, but most likely the maximum storage capacity for micro SDHC, namely 32GB, will also be supported. The Nokia C6 phone also has wireless LAN built-in, and VPS and 3G support.
At in multimedia function, the C6 includes a 5.0 Megapixel camera, with autofocus and LED flash, with face and smile detection options available in the settings menu. Video recording is enabled, and there is a front facing camera for face to face video calls over 3G.
General media support on the phone is strongly represented, with a stereo FM radio with RDS included, plus a media player which supports multiple formats including MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC+, WMV and MP4. The layout of the music player is very intuitive, and adding additional playlists to those automatically available is a simple process. But, I find that this Symbian smartphone could not play all video or audio format file. Could I rip DVD to this phone supports format? I search this question on Google and find good software named Nideosft DVD to Nokia Converter. It could help you to convert DVD movie to many Nokia video formats: 3GP, MP4, MP3, WMV, etc., which could be played on your Nokia mobile phone, such as Nokia 5800, Nokia N95, Nokia 5320 XM, Nokia E71, etc.. almost all the Nokia mobile phone family. At the same time, Nidesoft Nokia Video Converter provides perfect solution for you to convert your favorite video files to Nokia mobile phone format, preserving the best quality of picture and sound. This movie converter software could support almost all source formats, including MOD, MPEG-1, VOB, MP4, M4V, WMV, ASF, AVI, 3GP, FLV, YouTube, etc..

The handset also has a built in GPS receiver, which allows you to add location information to captured images via geotagging, and also allows you to use the device as a portable SatNav device, with full a GPS support. Nokia OVI Maps is available, which gives you full access to voice turn by turn navigation, for free. The web browser on the handset is very capable, and presents most web pages well. Kinetic scrolling allows you to flick through long web pages, and support for Flash Lite 3.0 is also included.

Review
The C6 may not have high-end features or run the latest software, but its estimated price of 220 Euros before tax and subsidy will be a great draw for mass-market consumers. The Nokia C6 will be available in either Black or White, and should start shipping before the end of the current quarter. Although the features of the handset clash with other Nokia devices in the mid tier market, the aggressive pricing point should help to ensure that the device sells in good numbers, and will be a particularly attractive option on many free gift and half price line rental deals

iPhone 4G V.S. HTC EVO 4G which is better player for DVD/Video?

Android and iPhone are always old rivals. So, not long after Apple Company released iPhone 4G, HTC released the HTC Evo 4G. But when the iPhone 4 hits retail shelves it will have to battle a gaggle of Android devices for consumer attention — the most significant of which is the HTC Evo. The Evo has one big advantage that Apple can’t beat. It runs on Sprint’s 4G networks, while the iPhone is stuck on AT&T’s 3G service. Sprint 4G, though, is not available in most major cities, including San Francisco and New York. If you are considering upgrading to the latest version of the iPhone or getting an Android device, take a look at how the iPhone 4 and HTC Evo 4G compare
Display
iPhone 4G: 4.5*2.31*0.37 inches with 3.5 inch screen and 960*640 pixel resolution. Apple's designers have also gone a more angular route, switching the old iPhone's rounded back for something completely flat and made from the same aluminosilicate glass material as the front panel. The new design aesthetic is topped off with a stainless steel border around the entire device.
HTC EVO 4G: 4.8*2.6*0.5 inches with 4.3 inch screen and WVGA 800*480 pixel resolution. The EVO is big - relatively speaking. And unlike the iPhone, it features a rounded back with softer edges, a protruding camera lens, as well as a built-in stand for propping the device up on surfaces.
Operating System
We know, iPhone 4G’s system is iOS and HTC EVO 4G is Android.
Apple’s iOS undoubtedly lacks the flexible open ecosystem of Android, which allows software like game console emulators that Apple has banned, but Apple holds the upper hand in selection, boasting 225,000 third-party apps to Android’s 70,000 or so, at last count. The latest release also alleviates some of the most frequent complaints about previous versions, like the lack of multitasking and folders for apps.
Connectivity
That “4G” in the EVO’s name isn’t just for kicks, although we happen to think it rolls off the tongue nicely. It’s actually the first phone in North America to ride on a blazing fast 4G network.
How much faster? HTC claims 10 times, but that’s based on comparing the very slowest end of average 3G speeds (600 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps), to the high end of its own 4G claims (3 to 6 Mbps). That said, even 3 Mbps is more than you could ever hope to wring from most 3G phones, and the EVO 4G can do things that the iPhone 4 just won’t, like videoconferencing without a Wi-Fi connection.
Camera
Both the iPhone 4 and EVO 4G sport both back cameras for snapping photos and front cameras for video conferencing. The EVO 4G gets the sharper vision on primary cam, shooting at 8 megapixels to Apple’s 5 megapixels, and on the front-facing cam, which shoots 1.3 megapixels to Apple’s VGA (0.3 megapixel) cam. Higher resolution doesn’t always mean a better camera, but we’ll have to give the EVO 4G the upper hand until launch time. The EVO 4G also supports a dual-LED flash rather than a single-LED flash, potentially making it more potent for night-time shooting.
For video, both cameras are capable of high-def 720p recording, but the iPhone 4 can shoot at a full 30 frames per second while the EVO 4G can only do 25.
And on the other aspect – Multimedia, with its’ build-in powerful multimedia player, iPhone 4G supports lots of audio and video formats. Such as: audio formats: AAC, Protected AAC, HE-AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV. and video formats: H.264, up to 720 high-definition at a constant frames per second, Main profile up to level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48khz, stereo audio in .M4V, .MP4, and .MOV file formats; with ulaw audio format and PCM stereo audio in. AVI file format. And HTC EVO 4G’ player also supports a respectable range of audio and video formats. But, I find smartphones could not play DVD, including both phones. If you want to play DVD with smartphones, you may use Nidesoft DVD Ripper which helps you convert DVD to all popular video or audio formats easily to convert DVD files into your favorite smartphone compatible formats or you have some video or audio files which your phone could not support in some case, you may select Nidesoft Video Converter to convert all other video files into your phones. It is powerful video conversion software which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats. With these two assistant software, you may enjoy your DVD or any video and audio files in your favorite smartphone at anytime and anywhere.
Storage
The EVO 4G comes with an 8GB microSD card preinstalled, but you can potentially expand it up to 32GB with a larger card. Unfortunately, 32GB models remain quite rare and you’ll need to drop at least $200 for one. By contrast, the least expensive ($200) iPhone 4 comes with 16GB of built-in memory, and it only costs $100 to upgrade to 32GB. The iPhone 4 wins on all accounts.
Battery Life
HTC hasn’t released complete battery life estimates for the EVO 4G, but we managed to get six hours of only on-and-off 4G data usage, while Apple claims the iPhone 4 will do six solid hours on 3G. Talk time also seems to suffer, with HTC claiming 360 minutes on the EVO 4G and Apple claiming 420 on the iPhone 4.
Price:
The EVO is available from Sprint right now for $199 if you sign up for a two-year contract, Premium Data plan, and after a $100 mail-in rebate. Sprint's plans range from $69.99 for unlimited data and 450 anytime minutes, up to $189.99 for an unlimited family plan that includes two lines. The required 'Premium Data' plan costs another $10 per month.
Apple will be releasing the iPhone 4 on June 24 to the tune of $199 for the 16GB model, and $299 for the 32GB model, both with two-year AT&T Contracts. Their plans range from $39.99 - $69.99 a month for voice and $15.00 - $25.00 a month for data. Or, if you've got the money, you can buy the iPhone 4 with no contract for $599 (16 GB) and $699 (32 GB)
Conclusion
HTC’s biggest bragging point – 4G connectivity – proves to be less of an advantage in real life than on paper after factoring in real-life network speeds and issues with 4G battery life. It also has a small leg up on the iPhone 4 in camera resolution, but less fluid 25fps HD recording also helps diminish that minimal edge. Meanwhile, the iPhone 4 is substantially smaller, has a higher resolution screen, and offers more storage for the money. So, which one do you like? You may select it by yourself.

Moto new Flipout review and how to enjoy DVD/Video with Motorola phone .

Motorola recently announced the Flipout phone which is an Android 2.1 based smartphone with a square-shaped design. The Motorola Flipout is the latest mobile device in a line of Motorola phones attempting to push the envelope in style, interaction, and form factor by using innovative and sometimes outrageous-looking designs. Everyone all over the word pay attention to this phone, so do I. I got that this phone have the below main functions:
Design
As the latest MOTOROLA phone with Android system, MOTOROLA Flipout, takes the most attractive places is obviously not possess the function, and how the machine have square appearance and rotating design. Although this design is not the first, but the MOTOROLA Flipout has 45 keys in all the keyboard but truly unique similar type, add up to seven color selection machine, not only for young people reflects the positioning, and believe that will make many fashion expert at first sight. The Flipout goes one step further in its unique design and hides the QWERTY keyboard until you pivot the phone open—in the same manner you might fan out a deck of cards. Pivoting the Flipout open reveals a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row specifically for numbers, and transforms it from a tiny, pocket-sized screen to a full mobile phone. When closed, the Flipout measures just 67 x 67 x 17 mm and weighs only 120g.
Main features:
As a young people for the social cell phones, MOTOROLA Flipout has a good standard in the wireless network function. It is not only support GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA network, but also has Wi-Fi /WAPI wireless LAN users to function, let more ways to connect to the Internet. For other functions of mobile phones, MOTOROLA not only has GPS navigation and electronic compass function, as well as a traditional 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, with 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM and support bluetooth technology and memory expansion function, etc.
Like other social media services, Motoblur gathers incoming and outgoing feeds from your friends, emails, text and multimedia messages, and Facebook, Myspace and Twitter updates and events and combines them into a stream with continuous updates. Likewise, Motoblur merges your entire home and work contacts with corresponding information and conversations to let you see your interactions with each person in your address book. However, in addition to providing a stream of updates and organized correspondence, Motoblur also offers backups of your social data which is fairly unique among social networking services. Furthermore, the new enhanced version of Motoblur provides more direct control of the Happenings and Messages widgets, allowing you to filter out updates and messages that aren’t important to you so you’re left with the most relevant info about your friends and what is happening. Keep in touch with your friends via instant, text, and multimedia messaging or utilize corporate and personal email clients to send messages on the go, and then allow Motoblur to track your conversations to help you stay connected.
Additional Flipout’s multimedia features include a 3MP camera with digital zoom and KODAK PERFECT TOUCH technology for better, brighter pictures and gallery mode for tagging and labeling of photos. Along with the improved sound quality on calls, the Flipout features high-quality audio and video playback. With a 2.8” 320×240 TFT LCD screen, you can watch video clips and streaming video on the go, and FM radio support as well as support for common music formats allows you to bring your music with you. It supports playable formats: eAAC+, MP3, MPEG-4, H.264, AAC, WMA9, AAC+, AMR NB, WMA v9. But, I find a question; Motorola Flipout could not support all of video or audio formats. But, what should I do, if I have some files which Flipout could not support. I search it on Google and find good software –Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter which could help to convert your video files to MP4, AVI, WMV, MP3 and play on Motorola phone easily. Below I’ll share you how to use it!
Firstly, download this software and install it.
Step 1: Launch the program and Click "Add File" button to load source video files to be converted
Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “Motorola MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start to convert video format.
After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your Motorola and enjoy your newly created video. Another, I know Nidesoft DVD to Motorola Converter could rip DVD to Motorola phone video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for MOTOROLA mobile phone users.
Additional features of the phone include full Google services including Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail and access to thousands of apps on the Android Market. The phone ships with a Li-Ion 1170 mAh battery that can provide up to 365 hours of stand-by time and up to 6 hours of talk time.
Summarize
After Backfip, MOTOROLA FLIPOUT is another personalized design with the Android system mobile phone, of an innovative square pivot design that opens to reveal a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row for numeric keys let’s easily remember it. Rich fuselage color also increased the favorable impression of good young users. In addition, FLIPOUT not only show the new construction of MOTOROLA stylist, but also let the Android system take a important step towards diversification

BlackBerry 9650 with new OS 6.0 review and enjoy dvd and video with it

Sprint customers disappointed by the lack of Wi-Fi on last summer's BlackBerry Tour 9650 will be pleased with the latest BlackBerry coming to the network. The BlackBerry Bold 9650 offers Wi-Fi and twice as much memory as the Tour. It also sports a superb keyboard and excellent messaging features and any sports and recreation apps which BlackBerry Company provides. Although badged as a Bold, the styling dimensions and feel of the device point more to a revamped BlackBerry Tour than a CDMA-based version of Bold 9700, which is offered by the GSM-based carriers AT&T and T-Mobile.

Design
The Bold 9650 measures 4.4 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.5 inch thick. At 4.8 ounces, however, it is slightly heavier than the 4.6-ounce Tour. The Bold 9650's body combines a muted chrome bezel with smooth black rubber and textured plastic. The texture contributes to the phone's comfortable in-hand feel. Like the Tour, the Bold 9650 has a 2.4-inch 480-by-360-pixel display.
App
Call Quality – it is spot-on with this version of the Bold. From low to high volume the speaker supports a range of sound from deep to high. The speakerphone is sufficiently loud as well.
Messaging – it is the strongest point of the BlackBerry. Connections to Gmail accounts sync messages and contacts seamlessly. A message sent from a computer will show up as a sent message on the device, which creates an incredibly useful completely current email record at all times.
Wireless – it boasts 802.11b/g, GPS, Bluetooth with profiles for streaming music, and support for UMTS/HSPA, CDMA/EV-DO and GSM based networks.
Operating system – it was announced alongside BlackBerry OS 6.0, it ships with OS 5.0, which we also saw on the BlackBerry Strom 2. BlackBerry OS 6.0 won't ship until Q3. BlackBerry OS 5.0 has sharper icons, brighter colors, and blacker blacks than BlackBerry OS 4.6 (which shipped on the original Bold). The interface is clean and simple to navigate, thanks to its easy-to-identify icons.
Multimedia
The 3.2 megapixel camera on the Bold 9650 features auto-focus, video recording and flash.
Using the camera has been made easier with this model. Previous auto-focus BlackBerrys required users to first focus and then completely presses the key to capture an image. With the Bold the process has been simplified to a simple point and click - the device will focus itself.
Like its siblings, the Bold's multimedia features are fairly middle-of-the-road. The vanilla music player lets you view your library by song, artist, or genre. During playback, a miniature album thumbnail appears. The app also has playlist and shuffle features, and a headphone equalizer. You can download music via Verizon's Rhapsody service.
The advanecd player supports video format including MPEG4 Part 2 Simple Profile, H.263, WMV and audio format such as: MP3, MIDI, AMR-NB, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, and so on.
While, I find two powerful software to let you enjoy such wonderful experience: Nidesoft BlackBerry Video Converter which could convert video and audio files to your Blackberry movie and music format( for example, you may convert “Vuvuzela” of standing for South Africa World Cup to your ringtone by it) and Nidesoft DVD to BlackBerry Converter which could convert DVD to Blackberry video and music. These powerful BlackBerry Converters supports all the BlackBerry family, including BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry 8830, BlackBerry 8820, BlackBerry Pearl 8800, BlackBerry Curve 8300, BlackBerry Storm 2, BlackBerry 9700 and even the new released Storm! If you want to enjoy your DVD with Blackberry, you may try it! It is easy to see these two software is the best assistants for Blackberry.

Sports and recreation apps at Blackberry App World
In order to make the fans are better able to watch the South Africa football World Cup, the Blackberry Company launched a lot of software about the game for blackberry user.
“South Africa on BlackBerry” - Enjoy all the action of World Cup Football in South Africa, right on your BlackBerry? with the "South Africa on BlackBerry" app.
“ScoreMobile” - is a true application that's been built from the ground up for all recent BlackBerry? smartphone models. It provide up-to-the-minute sports scores, boxscores, player stats, betting odds, game previews, recaps, top stories, and league standings. In addition we publish exclusive live blogs for key games. Coverage currently includes: American Football (NFL, NCAAF, CFL), Baseball (MLB), Basketball (NBA, NCAAB Men's), Hockey (NHL), Golf (PGA), Auto Racing (NASCAR Sprint Cup, Formula 1) and Soccer (World Cup, EPL, Champions League, Serie A, Liga, MLS). If you have interesting about it, you may get more information from BlackBerry website.

It’s true that RIM hit the mark with the BlackBerry Bold 9650. And the Bold 9650 is the top. It's got a very good keyboard (though small, especially compared to the relative behemoth Bold 9000), good looks, good build quality and rock solid stability. We find the small, relatively high resolution display hard on the eyes, especially when web browsing and would put up with a larger phone to get a bigger screen. But for consumers, I'd say check out the competition before jumping aboard the BlackBerry bandwagon.

More powerful features: new iPhone 4G review

Apple CEO Steve Jobs opened the 2010 Worldwide Developers Conference on 8th, June by announcing the latest iPhone incarnation, the iPhone 4G. It will be available exclusively with AT&T starting June 24, with 5 countries at launch (US, France, Germany, UK, Japan), with 18 more following in July. The price with service is fair--US$199 for the 16GB phone or US$299 for the 32GB device--and both models come in white and black versions. Then let’s have a close look at the new iPhone 4G: How does the new iPhone improved compare with the iPhone 3G S?
Display
The iPhone 4G features a 940 * 640-pixel (or 326 pixels per square inch) Apple calls it a "Retina Display", which is four times the resolution of previous iPhone models. It's rated at 326ppi, which Apple claims is beyond the human eye's limit of distinction. Check out an example of the new screen up against the iPhone 3G after the break. Similar to the iPad, it's an IPS display, offering 800:1 contrast. The thickness of it is only 9.3 millimeters, 24% thinner than iPhone 3GS. Apple Company says, iPhone 4G is the thinnest smartphone in the world.
New features of iPhone 4G
Firstly, iPhone 4G comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. With over 100 new features, it includes Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform. With Multitasking, users can now instantly switch between any of their apps while preserving battery life. With Folders, users can easily organize their apps into collections by simply dragging one app on top of another. A folder is automatically created and named based on the category of apps selected. Users can change the name of any folder at any time. In addition, users can now customize their lock and home screens with an array of supplied wallpapers or with any of the photos on their phone.
Secondly, the iPhone 4G will feature the same A4 chip that’s found in the iPad. The result is a faster processor plus improved battery life (its supports seven hours of talk time on 3G networks, up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi and up to six hours on 3G, and up to 10 hours of video playback and up to 40 hours of audio playback).
Thirdly, the iPhone 3GS gave us a compass, but the iPhone 4G raises the bar by offering a three-axis gyroscope. Like on an airplane, you'll get pitch, roll, and yaw, and it's tied with the accelerometer to provide six-axis motion sensing. Though by all means it will be useful to app developers, it also just looks like a lot of fun.
Moreover, the iPhone 4G’s front-facing camera is a 640-by-480-pixel camera (three-tenths of a megapixel, if you’re curious) designed to be used primarily with the new FaceTime video-chat system, though it will also work well as a way to take self-portraits. With the FaceTime, you can see your loved ones and friends anywhere there is Wi-Fi. Using FaceTime is as easy as making a regular voice call, with no set-up required, and you can instantly switch to the rear camera to show others what you are seeing with just a tap.
Camera Changes and Powerful Multimedia functions
iPhone 4G features a new 5 megapixel autofocus camera with a 5x digital zoom, a backside illuminated sensor and built-in LED flash that allows you to take amazing pictures even in low light and dark environments. iPhone 4G lets you record and edit incredible HD video and the popular tap to focus feature now works while recording video. You can use the iPhone 4G‘s LED flash for both still photography and video recording. The demo looks great, even if the iPhone isn't the first cell phone to offer this capability. The new iMovie? app for iPhone lets you combine movie clips, add dynamic transitions and themes and include photos and music, and users can buy it for just $4.99 through the App Store right on their phone.
With its’ build-in powerful multimedia player, iPhone 4G supports lots of audio and video formats. Such as: audio formats: AAC (8 to 320 kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV. and video formats: H.264, up to 720 high-definition at a constant frames per second, Main profile up to level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48khz, stereo audio in .M4V, .MP4, and .MOV file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple profile with AAC-LC audio format up to 160 kbps, 48khz, stereo audio in .M4V, .MP4, and .MOV file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, with ulaw audio format and PCM stereo audio in. AVI file format.
But, it is a small shortcoming that iPhone 4G could not play DVDs. If you want to play DVD with it, you may use Nidesoft DVD Ripper which helps you convert DVD to all popular video or audio formats easily to convert DVD files into iPhone 4G compatible formats or you have some video or audio files which iPhone 4G could not support in some case, you may select Nidesoft Video Converter to convert all other video files into iPhone 4G. It is powerful video conversion software which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats. With these two assistant software, you may enjoy your DVD or any video and audio files in iPhone 4G at anytime and anywhere.
Conclusion
Through the above description, we know iPhone 4G have improved much more functions than iPhone 3GS, such as FaceTime, Processor, Camera, Gyroscope and application system and so on. And, “iPhone 4G is the biggest leap since the original iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. So, iPhone 4G is filled with the hope of us. Of course, nobody knows the result before it is published; let’s just wait for its official release date of June 24th.

How to convert dvd and video to play on iPad, iPhone, Nokia, MP4, AVI,etc.

With the development of technology, several of media portable players emerged and have enriched our daily life greatly. We enjoy our favorite movies and music with all kinds of portable players such as iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, mobile phone and so on. Now, several of the most popular players are:
iPad - is an unprecedented device. It doesn't shoot rainbows or make puppies, but this roughly 8x10-inch tablet computer melds your laptop, smartphone, gaming console, and iPod into a single, affordable, unfortunately named thing. If you've ever used an iPhone or iPod Touch, the iPad will feel immediately familiar. Out of the box, you get many of the iPhone's capabilities, including Apple-designed applications (apps) for Web browsing, e-mail, maps, photos, music, video, YouTube, and more. More apps can be installed using the built-in App Store software or by connecting the iPad to iTunes via your computer using the included cable. If you already own apps purchased for an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can transfer these apps to the iPad, as well.

iPhone 3GS - In many ways, the 3GS is a mirror image of the iPhone 3G; externally there's no difference. It's inside where all the changes have happened, with Apple issuing a beefed-up CPU, new internal compass, larger capacities for storage, and improved optics for its camera. More to the point, the release of the 3GS coincides with the launch of iPhone OS 3.0, a major jump from previous versions of the system software featuring highly sought after features like cut, copy, and paste, stereo Bluetooth, MMS, tethering, video recording, landscape keyboard options for more applications, and an iPhone version of Spotlight. It's important to remember that real-world use will be a better judge of the iPhone 3GS' endurance. The large color display, frequently switching between different applications, and heavy 3G or GPS use will drain the battery faster than just making a call. As it's difficult to develop an accurate benchmark for testing battery life while multitasking, your experience will vary widely depending on how you use your iPhone 3GS. There are quite a few things you can do to maximize battery life, but we recommend using Wi-Fi over 3G whenever possible, limiting GPS use, and dimming your display's brightness. The 3Gs is the first iPhone to show the percentage of battery charge on the Home screen.

Nokia N900 - Nokia has equipped the N900 with decent hardware: it has a 600Mhz processor that integrates a PowerVR SGX 530 graphics processor. Finally, the N900 runs Maemo, a Linux-based operating system that is backed by major players like Intel. At the moment, the best way to enjoy the N900 as an entertainment device is to copy media files to it. There's ample room (up to 32GB internally+16GB via micro-SD) and that's how you'll get the best image quality for the videos. Music is pretty easy to acquire, but videos formatted to the optimum size and bitrate is another story. As a voice device, the Nokia N900 does very well, and as a communication tool, it is very good too. With Maemo, Nokia's smartphone future seems a lot brighter than it is with Symbian OS. In additional, the Web experience is the most complete: the vast majority of sites work perfectly. All the functionalities are there, including Flash and Ajax support, but in some situations (Flash heavy sites).
And other players, etc. I am not list one by one.
It is really wonderful that we can enjoy our movies and music with smart portable players anytime and anywhere. But you may also get confused with the problem: how to get movies and music into your favorite portable players?

Microsoft Kin mobile phone review

After have manufactured more smartphones for the enterprise users in many years, Microsoft finally launched own-brand Kin (Kin.com) for consumers, and released Kin tow and Kin two models. These two mobile phones by Verizon Wireless exclusive sales finally published on May 13. With stripped-down interfaces, deep social networking integration, and a focus on very particular type of user, Microsoft is aiming for something altogether different with Kin. Now, below is a brief introduction about them.
Display
The Kin One and Two should look a little familiar -- they come off like mutated cousins of the Palm Pre. The One is short and squat, sort of disc shaped, with a smaller display that slides down into the center of the handset; the Two, meanwhile, is a larger, elongated device with a wide landscape keyboard. Both devices feature capacitive touchscreen displays (a 2.6-inch, 320 x 240 QVGA screen on the One and a 3.4-inch, 480 x 320 HVGA version for the Two) with thick, plastic coatings. Around the sides, the phones both feature the same complement of buttons: volume rockers, a dedicated camera key, a sleep / power button, plus a "back" button on the lower faces of the devices. The phones use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, take micro-USB cables, and have cameras equipped with LED flashes on their backs.
Internals
Both the One and the Two sport the Tegra APX2600 CPU -- the same as in the Zune HD, so you've got plenty of horsepower -- and have 256MB of DDR RAM on-board. The One has a paltry 4GB of storage for your pics, music, and video, while the Two ups the game to 8GB... Neither of the devices support microSD. The devices have light and proximity sensors, an accelerometer, and GPS chips inside, along with 802.11b/g, EvDO Rev. A, and Bluetooth 2.1 (which supports A2DP and AVRCP profiles).
Camera
Now Microsoft has been making a big deal out of the cameras on these phones, having equipped the One with a 5 megapixel shooter, and the Two with an 8 megapixel version that does wait for it... 720p video. For starters, just the act of trying to take a photo with the hardware buttons on these phones is really quite uncomfortable; somehow, both the One and Two seem to force your hand into a position where you're blocking the lens with a finger or two. On the One, it's usually good for taking a picture after a firm press, but sometimes there's no reaction at all, while on the Two, it tends to focus in and out and then never snap a photo. Both the One and Two are equipped with autofocus lenses, though the One seemed to struggle much less with focusing in on subjects. On the other hand, its images looked more washed out to us. To sum up, taking still photos with both Kin devices was a frustrating, unrewarding affair that yielded more bad than good.
On the video aspect, as we mentioned, it's capable of shooting 720p video. With a Zune Pass subscription and Zune software on your PC, you can listen to millions of songs from Zune Marketplace on your KIN while on the go, or load from your personal collection. What is worth mentioning, Kin One and Kin Two become the first mobile phones support Zune player in global. But what should I do, if I don’t have Zune videos? I search this question on Google and I find good software –Nidesoft video converter which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats to convert AVI file to MPEG-4 format. Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Tips: Click a file in the list and you could use the preview control buttons to play the file.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format, such as to “Zune Video –MPEG Format (*.mp4)” for Zuen.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your video files to some formats which Zune player supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Software
Kins are labeled as a Windows Phone, but bear little resemblance to Windows Phone 7, and none at all to Windows Mobile. The interface is heavily paneled, but the panels can be all kinds of things. Feeds! Shortcuts! Twitter, MySpace and Facebook items! Contacts! Throw your screen from side to side and you move between a homescreen with links to obvious functionality, The Loop, which is a collection of social networking feeds combined with RSS feeds, and you’re Favorites. In addition, the Kins are messaging phones centered not on texts, but around the services young people actually use nowadays. It prompts you to sync with Twitter, Facebook and Myspace immediately, which it (fairly) intelligently gleans for contact information. (It's like WebOS in this respect.) Once you've got everything loaded up, your entire phone is basically overrun with social chaff, be it Twitter updates, friends' Facebook albums, or items from the surprisingly competent RSS feed reader. And beyond the features you can see and interact with on the handset itself, there's the Kin's killer app: Studio. It's basically a blown-up version of your phone, with all its contents, accessible via a web interface. Uploads are automatic and nearly constant, so when you log on, your stuff is just there.
Battery life
Microsoft told us that its goal was for users to be able to take off for a weekend road trip with these things and leave their chargers behind. In particular, the One was left off the charger quite a bit, yet still managed to go for more than two days with sporadic use.
Conclusion
Microsoft finally introduced own-brand mobile phone, which means it has position in the aspects of hardware and software. The two Kin series of phone looks very small, no good spot, but we can see Microsoft for mobile phones and music market value, and the two mobile operators will bind sales, service and mobile terminal market price don’t so high, also fit young consumers' demand. Just feel strange, Microsoft's first mobile didn't use WP7 operating systems, even the two Kin series are not smartphone. Why do Microsoft? We can only continue to focus on its further development.

New member of Android: Acer mobile phone series reviews

Acer has well and truly thrown its hat into the smartphone ring, with a slew of Android phones announced February. It’s not just the Liquid e that Acer is bringing out here at MWC 2010 and the company also has a number of o Android devices to choose from. Acer expect the beTouch E110 to arrive in March 2010, with the beTouch E400 following on in April. Across the board there’s 3G and Bluetooth, while on the E110 lacks WiFi b/g. No vast processor speeds here, though; at most you’ll get 600MHz. Both have a 3.2-megapixel camera together with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack. I have a short comparison summary about what the same features and what the different of both two phones.
Design
The Acer E110 is an attractive mobile phone that comes complete with 2.8 inches TFT resistive touchscreen with 240 x 320 pixels resolution that can display up to 256k (65K effective) colors. It runs on Android OS, v1.5 (Cupcake) and is powered by ST Ericsson PNX6715 416MHz processor. Weighted at 105 grams Acer E110 physically measures 103.5 x 54 x 13.4 mm.The handset is available in two colors - Black & Dark Blue
And The Acer beTouch E400 has a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen resistive display that features a 320 x 480 pixel resolution with 256k colors. It measures 115 x 59.3 x 12 mm and weighs 125g that makes it very stylish and sleek. P300 packs an Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, Digital compass, Acer UI and Smart LED notifications also. This smartphone works on Android OS, v2.1 and has a processor of Qualcomm 7227 600 MHz processor that renders it great functionality. It comes in Soft-touch Black, Ceramic White and Pearl colours.
Memory
The Acer E110 comes complete with 256 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM internal memory that is expandable with the microSd card slot option. While the Acer beTouch E400 feature comes complete with 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM memory that can also be expanded with microSD card slot.
Both two phones’ phonebook memory allows entry of unlimited entries and fields, Photocall in the phone and it can also store unlimited call details.
Connectivity
The Acer E110 and Acer E400 both come with EDGE Class 10, 236.8 kbps and GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots), 32 - 48 kbp technologies that gives high speed data transfer rates. The inbuilt Bluetooth Yes, v2.0 with A2DP and miniUSB connection allows the user to transfer data to another devices wirelessly. In addition, the E400 is 3G enabled phone has HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 384 Kbps also embedded.
Multimedia
To keep the user entertained, both two phones come preloaded with MP3 and MP4 players that very well supports numerous music formats, such as: MP3 and WAV as well as MP4, WMV, H.264, H.263 etc and also equipped with alert options like vibration, downloadable polyphonic. The only one difference: the E110 has a stereo FM radio, but the E400 don’t have. They could not support all of video and audio formats. If I have a AVI file, what should I do? I search this question on Google and find good auxiliary software which named Nidesoft Video Converter which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats to convert AVI file to MPEG-4 format. Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Tips: Click a file in the list and you could use the preview control buttons to play the file.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format, such as to mp4 for Sony or iPhone.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which The E110 and E400 supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Camera
The Acer E110 and E400 are equipped with 3.15 megapixel camera that comes with 2048x1536 pixels resolution that is able to capture still as well as moving video footages and video recording feature. But E400 could support autofocus, LED flash and Geo-tagging and E110 don’t support.
Battery LifeTime
The Standard Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery of the Acer E110 comprises of 400 hours of standby time and 5 hours of talk time.
The Acer beTouch E400 has a Standard Li-Po 1090 mAh battery that gives 400 hours of standby time and 5 hours of talk time to its users.
Messaging
Both two phones can keep you connected with your family and friends easily with the inbuilt with SMS, MMS, Email and instant messaging features.
Network
The Acer E110 works on 2G GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and 3G HSDPA 850, 1900, 2100 as well as HSDPA 900, 1900, 2100 networks.
The Acer beTouch E400 comes complete with GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming on 2G in configuration of 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz. The 3G network enabled on phone is in HSDPA 900 / 2100 and HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 configuration.
Conclusion
Shame about some of the specs, removing certain aspects to reduce the cost such as WiFi, the accelerometer and compass means this handset will fail to take full advantage of Android and won't be compatible with many of the apps which take advantage and use these features. The beTouch E110 does however look stylish and will come in Black & Dark Blue so take your pick if you still interested!
Other useful functions of the E400 include the GPS-enabled Google Maps, which will help you find your way around cities and/or towns and includes both Street View and Latitude. The excellent media player will play a full range of file formats and there is a built-in 3-millimeter audio input jack allowing you to plug in your choice of headphones. There is even the very useful Acer Synch feature, allowing the user to wirelessly synchronize with their desktop or notebook so they can easily maintain and keep files and contacts up to date, which is great for when you are ultra-busy and need to save time. Now, which one do you select, Acer E110 or Acer beTouch E400?

Review new HTC Legend and Desire: which is better for video playing?

With the mobile phone market increasingly fierce competition, each big brands manufacturer is to launch new products to get bigger market. Now HTC successively introduced two phones – HTC Legend and HTC Desire in the first half of the year 2010. But which is the one for you to spend your hard-earned on? The Hero-a-like Legend or the insanely powerful but stupidly monikered Desire? Below is our brief summary.
Form/Factor Design:
These HTC smartphones share a bar-style design that's dominated by a large touchscreen display but they differ in appearance. The Legend retains the traditional Android chin in a thin aluminum body and the Desire looks similar to the Nexus One.
Touchscreen Display:
The HTC Desire is the clear winner in this category with its 3.7″ (480*800) WVGA AMOLED capacitive touch screen with pinch-to-zoom capability. The Legend comes with a 3.2″ (320*480) HVGA AMOLED capacitive touch screen with pinch-to-zoom capability
Operating System/ User Interface:
Both the Legend and the Desire run on the latest Android 2.1 OS and feature the updated Sense UI concept.
Camera:
These smartphones are more or less equal in the camera department. The Desire and Legend both come with 5 megapixel cameras. However, the Desire comes with more camera features including face detection, widescreen photo capture, geotagging, auto focus and flash
Processing Power:
Again the HTC Desire takes the cake in the processing department with its 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 512MB ROM / 576MB RAM. The Legend offer less powerful processor specs with 600MHz MSM7227 processors and 512MB ROM / 384MB RAM.
Multimedia
Both of these two phones’ music players are great. The interface is simple to use but attractive.
They support FM Radio and video recording function. Both of Legend and Desire’ build-in players support same video and audio formats. Such as: Audio supported formats: AAC, AMR, OGG, MID, MP3, WAV, WMA and recording formats: AMR; And Video supported formats: 3GP, 3G2, MP4, WMV and recording formats: 3GP etc. We find that both phones could not support DVD formats. But what should I do, if I want to play DVD files on the phone. I search this question on Google and find good software to solve this problem – Nidesoft DVD Ripper which could provide you an easy and fast way to rip DVD movies to most popular formats easily and quickly, such as: Rip DVD to MP4, Rip DVD to 3GP, DVD to WMV, etc. Below is the simple process.
Firstly, you may download this software here: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/dvd-ripper.exeAfter download and install this powerful software, only four steps are needed to complete the conversion.
Step 1: Insert the DVD disc into the DVD Drive.
Click the Open DVD button, browse your computer, and find the DVD folder of the movie. (It is not only load DVD disc, but also could open a disk backup’s directory.)
A DVD may have multiple titles and each title contains one or more chapters. After your DVD movie is loaded, its contents will be listed. Click “+” to show the chapters in a title. Then you can click any title or chapter to preview it in the preview window on the right.
Step 2: Click the "profile" button and select the format for your player.
Step 3: Click the "convert" button. Please wait before the conversion succeeds!
Ok, you have ripped your DVD movies to other format you want, now just enjoy it. Another, I also have a try Nidesoft Video Converter which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats. If you have some video files which your player don’t support. You may use it! I think these two software are good assistant for media player and for your HTC mobile.
Other features:
Each phone also sports the features that are becoming more standard every day: Accelerometer, GPS, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, etc. And each of these phones are a joy to use, that’s no question.
Battery:
The Desire comes on top of this category with its 1400 mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion battery with 390 mins talk time and 360 hours standby time. And the Legend comes in second with its 1200 mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion polymer battery with 440 mins talk time and 560 hours standby time.
Conclusion:
So, circling back to our earlier questions, for the extra cost of the Desire over the Legend you get a larger and sharper screen, faster processor, live wallpapers and video capture at a slightly higher resolution. On the other hand the Legend's button positions may provide better single-handed operation, and some may even prefer its silver metallic look and feel to go with certain Apple products, so you'd best get your hands on the two devices before handing over the cash.

Sony X10 V.S iPhone 3G: simple reviews and comparison

After countless fans waiting for a long time, Sony Ericsson finally introduced its first android smartphone – Sony Xperia X10. It is said that the Xperia X10 is perhaps the most promising of Sony Ericsson's confusing crop of modern smartphones, combining attractive hardware with killer specs, Android, and an intriguing custom skin. Does it hold its own against modern competitors like iPhone which most people like? And more importantly, can it keep Sony Ericsson from going over the brink? Read on to find out.
Design
The XPERIA X10 measures 119*63*13 mm and weight 135 gm and capable of displaying movies and photos in 262k colors on its high 854*480 resolution 4-inch screen.
While iPhone measures 115.5*62.1*12.3 mm and weight 135gm in16 million colors on 480*320 pixel resolution and 3.5-inch screen.
Conclusion: There is not much difference between the form factor of the two smartphones except for the fact that Xperia X10 is slightly, but unnoticeably, bigger.
OS
Xperia X10 runs on Google Android 1.6 OS while iPhone runs on the proprietary iPhone OS 3.1x.
Connectivity and wireless
Both the phones are quadband and GSM-based. Both the phones boast of 3G, WiFi, EDGE, GPRS and Bluetooth (with A2DP) and both lack infrared port.
Browser
Both have ability to optimize web pages to fit the screen and zooming in and out of web pages is a breeze. Both are also slick in checking for or doing stuff. However, unlike Xperia X10 has a Webkit web browser, iPhone comes with Safari browser which doesn't support Flash.
Storage and Memory:
Xperia X10 has 1GB onboard flash memory and microSD card slot (capable of holding up to 16GB, Xperia X10 also ships with 8GB miroSD card). On the other hand, iPhone comes with 256MB onboard flash memory and a choice of 16GB or 32GB internal storage.
Camera and video recording:
Xperia X10 boasts of a whopping 8-megapixel camera with up to 16x digital zoom, image and video stabiliser, auto-focus, touch to focus, face and smile detection, geo-tagging, LED flash and WVGA video recording (@30fps).
On the other hand, iPhone has a 3.15-megapixel camera with auto-focus, tap to focus, VGA video recording (@30fps) and geo-tagging.
Music and Video Player:
Both the smartphones support multiple audio and video playback formats. The Experia X10’s audio player offers a great number of options for filtering content and accessing additional information (via the Infinity button), but lacks equalizer. And it only supports MP3 and AAC formats. While its’ video player recognizes MPEG4 videos coded in H.264 only and does not support DivX and Xvid, which is a shame really, since the huge screen is extremely suitable for watching videos. Another, iPhone supports audio formats: AAC, MP3, WAV and video formats: MP4, H.264 and MPEG-4. Both don’t support all of video formats. If you have avi files, what should you do? I search this question on Google and find good auxiliary software which named Nidesoft Video Converter which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats to convert AVI file to MPEG-4 format. Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Tips: Click a file in the list and you could use the preview control buttons to play the file.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format, such as to mp4 for Sony or iPhone.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which Experia X10 and iPhone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Power and Battery:
Xperia X10 is equipped with a Li-Po 1500mAh battery that should be able to provide 8 hours of continuous talk time and keep the handset operational for 425 hours in stand-by on 3G networks. While iPhone has a built-in Li-Ion battery that ups to 10hours for talk time and 6 hours on Internet use.
Others:
Xperia X10 and iPhone have some common features such as accelerometer, Push email, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, GPS, SMS, MMS, 3.5mm audio jack, Digital Compass, Google Maps and 3D games.
With Xperia X10, you have access to Android Market and PlayNow arena from where you can download apps, movies, video podcasts, TV shows, music tracks, games etc. It also promises an intuitive UI by introducing signature social media applications like Mediascape and Timescape and also has web feeds, speakerphone, gesture control, flight mode, world clock, and pre-installed useful apps.
On the other hand, iPhone has many cool features including a landscape keyboard for all core apps; an innovative and useful implementation of cut, copy, and paste; push notifications, an improved call log that shows details like the time and length of a call; a spotlight search for searching apps, e-mail, music, and more. It also offers a very useful service called MobileMe, a feature that allows you to remotely track the location of the phone when it goes missing, backup data, wipe data from a lost or stolen phone and restore it in a new one.
Conclusion:
As you can clearly see from the comparison chart above, it really drills down to what the end-user wants from his or her phone. If you want a phone with high quality camera, then Xperia X10 is the answer since it boasts of 8.1 megapixels autofocus camera. On the other hand, one clear advantage that iPhone has over Xperia X10 is its huge number of apps offering, which is a big attraction for most users. But when it comes to sheer hardware power, Xperia X10 comes out as a clear winner. So it really comes down to what you want from your phone and which platform are you more comfortable with.

Motorola Backflip review: more fashional, functional and attractive

This was a complete surprise, but AT&T made it official in February and introduced the Motorola Backflip as its first Google Android device. The Backflip made its grand debut at CES 2010, where we awarded the smartphones category for its unique design, which includes a rear-facing QWERTY keyboard and a trackpad behind the display. Unfortunately, after now spending some time with the device, this seems to be the only real highlight of the phone. The Backflip suffers from performance issues and runs Android 1.5, making it a rather disappointing Android debut for AT&T. Now we have a close look for this model and find what the main characters of it are!
Design
The Motorola Backflip is powerful, handsome and fast. It comes with a manual keyboard and a great screen and is still only 15.3 millimeters (.6 inches) thick. They put the manual keyboard on the back side of the reverse flip. It opens like a book with the keyboard on the back being exposed at all times. The screen is also a big part of the Motorola Backflip, of course. It has a capacitive touch screen that comes in at 3.1 inches. This is an average size for a screen on a smartphone now. The physical resolution of the display is 320 by 480 or HVGA. It is not the AMOLED style. It still uses the TFT LCD style that can chew up battery time a little quicker than the AMOLED. The Backflip does come with an accelerometer to change the mode of the screen from portrait to landscape and back again automatically. This is handy for texting and for viewing web pages.
Connectives
Inside the same processor as in the CLIQ runs Android 1.5 complete with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR social networking integration. There’s triband 7.2Mbps WCDMA (850/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE, along with WiFi b/g and Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage is via microSD, with a 2GB card in the box and up to 32GB supported.
Software
Similar to the Cliq and the Motorola Devour, the Backflip uses Motoblur software, which helps merge contact information from various e-mail accounts and social networking sites, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Exchange, Twitter, and Picasa, into a master list. In addition, e-mails (aside from Gmail) are combined into a universal in-box and appointments are also combined into one calendar.
Multimedia
One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2.0 is the built-in media player. You still get support for MP3, AAC, H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, WAV, MIDI, and AAC+ etc formats and support video playback. Music quality was quite good. Thanks to the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, we plugged in our Bose On-ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding songs. Unfortunately, the Motorola Backflip does not support DivX and Xvid files, but at least H.264 videos with resolution of 320x480 pixels played without any issues.
But if I don’t have mp4 files, what should I do? I search this question on Google and I have good software Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats such as convert AVI to MP4, MP3 to WAV, WMV to MPEG, MOV to AAC, etc. We could convert our files to mp4 format through using this software.
Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/motorola-video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which MOTO phone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Camera
The camera is a five megapixel model with LED flash, autofocus, geotagging and video. The Backflip can record at 25 frames per second in the MP4 (MPEG-4) format. This is nothing to write home about but is acceptable.
Battery life
The Backflip ships with a 1400mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated talk time of 6 hours and up to 13.5 days of standby time. We are still conducting our battery drain tests but will update this section as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the Backflip has a digital SAR rating of 1.37 watts per kilogram.
Conclusion
Although in some hardware, MOTOROLA Backfip does not calculate very prominent, but in the fuselage on modeling and the system optimization, Motorola deserves credit for trying an innovative design and for offering a unique way of moving fingers off of the touch screen. But the Android machine, how to compare common problems homogeneity let a person shine at the moment, is the most difficult problem. The manufacturers can back flip smartphone also succeeded half and the other half, still need to test by customer.

MOTO milestone review: how to enjoy dvd and video with your mobile phone

In 2008, the MOTO Company has said, foreign markets development center will turn Android operating system. Since then, the development of Gphone industry will focus on MOTO For a long time, the MOTO users has been looked forward to its new product, until the Droid (BBS, offer, picture, and parameter) published, just let everyone believed MOTO - with Android operating system the return of the king. So, Motorola are back with a bang and the MILESTONE is one of the best spec’s phones to ever run Android
Display
This is one of the thinnest landscape-sliding QWERTY devices available on the market. Its overall footprint is similar to the iPhone 3GS, except for the fact that it’s slightly thicker (13.7mm) because of the inclusion of the physical QWERTY. It is rather big (116 x 60 x 13.7mm) and heavy (169g). In addition, it is the first Android phone to sport a 3.7” TFT touch screen at 480 x 854 with support for up to 16 million colors. Flipping it over to its back, it has the 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash towards the upper portion while the external speaker grid is lined up towards the bottom. When removing the metal back cover, the battery and microSD card slot will be exposed.
Battery
According to the manufacturer, the battery of the Motorola MILESTONE should be able to provide 6.5hrs of continuous talk time and keep the device operational for 350hrs in standby.
Interface
MOTOROLA Milestone is the first to have the latest build of Android – version 2.0 and has been taken several improvements than old version. Firstly, the system interface visual effect is more outstanding. Some ICONS on the edge design beautification and whole feels more clean and neat. One thing we found useful quite often was the Google Search function to accomplish a mix of operations. You can execute the search by holding down the dedicated touch sensitive button – which will then prompt you to speak. Although no built-in MOTO Blur interface, but the MOTOROLA Milestone is been introduced double-click zoom function. In our web, you just can zoom via double taps; the current web page can be realized zoom. It is not only convenient browse, but in operation tiny hyperlinks function is also help.
Connectivity
The Motorola MILESTONE is a quad band GSM with dual band 3G (900/2100MHz) that allows for fast, wireless internet connectivity on networks across Europe and Asia. Naturally, you can use the Wi-Fi anytime if there is a hotspot nearby. Motorola has promised support for Flash 10 in the first half of 2010, but until then you will have to put up with the fact you simply cannot relish the full beauty of the Internet. The HTC Hero has the advantage of being able to visualize Flash elements, but scrolling is more sluggish on the overall. All told, the Motorola MILESTONE is equipped with one of the best web browsers on Android handsets today.
Camera
The 5-megapixel camera takes pictures in three resolutions and boasts a slick user interface. Fortunately, Android fixes that problem by adding four white balance settings, several "scene" modes (night, landscape, sunset, and so on), three image quality choices, an autofocus, a macro setting, and seven color effects. The Droid also has a dual-LED flash.
Camcorder settings are fewer, but you can edit the video quality and the length allowed for each clip. You can film for 30 seconds if you're adding the video to a multimedia message, but you can go for up to 30 minutes in normal mode. Video quality is actually fairly good--it could handle action better than its Android counterparts and there was little pixelation. Indeed, a closer look at the specs told us why. Not only do videos record at a 720 x 480 resolution, the Droid films at 24 frames per second (fps) (video playback can go up to 30fps).
Multimedia
One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2.0 is the built-in media player. There aren't any major enhancements to the player in terms of interface or functionality, which is too bad. You still get support for MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI, and Windows Media Audio 9 formats and the player includes shuffle, repeat, and playlist creation. As it is right now, you have to use the old drag-and-drop method using the USB cable or sideload them using a microSD card.
Music quality was quite good. Thanks to the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, we plugged in our Bose On-ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding songs. Unfortunately, the Motorola MILESTONE does not support DivX and Xvid files, but at least H.264 videos with resolution of 720x306 pixels played without any issues.
But if I don’t have mp4 files, what should I do? I search this question on Google and I have a good software Nidesoft Video Converter which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats such as convert AVI to MP4, MP3 to WAV, WMV to MPEG, MOV to AAC, etc. We could convert our files to mp4 format through using this software.
Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which MOTO phone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Email, calendar, and contacts
The Droid now offers native Microsoft Exchange synchronization out of the box for email, calendar, and contacts, in addition to support for Gmail and POP3 and IMAP accounts. With Android 2.0, you can have messages from various accounts displayed in one unified in-box; messages are color-coded by account so you can visually differentiate them at a glance.
Unfortunately (well, depending on your preference), it doesn't appear that you can combine work and personal calendars as you can on the Palm Pre. Instead, you'll find separate apps for your corporate calendar and your personal one.
With the support for various accounts, contact management could get a bit dodgy, but the Droid offers a pretty smart contact management system. Similar to the Palm WebOS Synergy feature, the Droid merges contact information from various accounts, Exchange, Gmail, and Facebook, and combines them on a single contact card for an individual.
Android Market
You can download free and paid apps and games from the Android Market. The Market's interface received a much-needed upgrade with 1.6--we like the white background and the more intuitive search. Android 2.0 doesn't appear to offer any additional changes, which is fine in the short term. Of course, you must store apps on the handset's integrated memory, which is limited to 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM. The Droid's memory card slot is only for saving photos, music, and other attachment files. You get a 16GB card in the box, but the slot is compatible with cards up to 32GB.
Conclusion:
Hands down, the Motorola MILESTONE is one of the best smartphones on the market today. The build quality is great and the device sports awesome functionality, including capable browser and probably the best camera found on Android phones today. On the other hand, the MILESTONE is not exactly exemplary in terms of advanced software. All told, the Motorola MILESTONE is an excellent device that is one of the first steps in the comeback of the manufacturer. We hope to see more MOTO models based on the Android operating system; after all, MOTOROLA in Android market has brought us much surprise.
