Samsung Demonstrates World's First LTE Netbook
It's funny how our world has changed in the past couple of years. For the longest while, new technologies came to mainstream, full-size notebooks first. For those willing to pay the premium, they also had to pick up a larger machine. Now, with netbooks being as huge as they are, newer technologies are hitting those small machines first. Who would have thought that one of the world's first LTE-integrated laptops would be a netbook?At Mobile World Congress in Spain, Samsung took a break from showcasing their new

Windows Phone 7 Series Springs To Life, Windows Mobile Now History
Microsoft has been taking a beating over the past couple of years in the mobile market, with operating systems such as webOS, iPhone OS and Android really stealing the thunder that was once owned by Windows Mobile. Even Windows Mobile 6.5.3 was way behind those other next generation systems in many ways, and Microsoft knew it. The software company certainly took their precious time before jumping head first into the new world order surrounding the new breed of do-it-all smartphones, but Windows Phone 7 Series

Sony Ericsson Announces XPERIA X10 mini and X10 mini pro
Mobile World Congress has opened up in Spain, and the cellphone/smartphone news is overflowing.

Researchers Find Way For Clothes To Power Gadgets: Ready To Exercise?
There's no denying that we live in a world full of amazing technology, but most of that stays far, far away from the washing machine. But what if your gadgets were safe for washing, and what if your gadgets were on your clothes? Or what if they were your clothes? Those are the questions being asked and answered at the University of California, Berkeley, where new research is leading to what can only be described as a "power suit."Researchers have somehow managed to create "energy-scavenging nanofibers that could

Microsoft Pulls Troublesome WinXP Patch, Continues Investigation
Microsoft seems to have quite the issue on their hands. Just a few days after the company began to receive complaints that a company-issued patch was causing seemingly random freezes and reboots on select Windows XP systems, there has been yet another update from the company to inform us all that malware may be to blame. Or maybe not. But it's still investigating.It's kind of unsettling, particularly for those poor Windows XP netbook users who rely heavily on that as their main machine while on the road. As

Microsoft Shows Off Bing Maps With Augmented Reality
Mapping and routing are two technologies that have become huge over the past few years, and they're only getting bigger. As more and more of the world becomes digitized for mobile consumption, companies are looking for more ways to interact with roads, geography, directions and reality of the live world itself. Google has already shown its innovation arm with Google Earth and Street View, and now Microsoft is hoping to steal some of that thunder with a showcase at the TED 2010 Conference in California.

Samsung Introduces Bada-Based Wave Smartphone With Bluetooth 3.0
With Windows Mobile, webOS, Android, BlackBerry OS and iPhone OS dominating the smartphone scene, you might think that yet another mobile platform would just be overkill. But not if you're Samsung. The company has unveiled its first major Bada-based phone (the Wave) at Mobile World Congress in Spain, and aside from bringing a new face to the smartphone OS wars, it also has a few other "firsts" for consumers who love the cutting edge.Reportedly, it's the first smartphone that is equipped with both Bluetooth 3.0

MSI Wind U135 Netbook Review
We have been fans of MSI's Wind series of netbooks. They have consistently rivaled Asus' Eee PC range and HP's Mini line, and the competition has been good for the industry. MSI's Wind line has remained relatively consistent over the years, with the design staying mostly the same, but the internals progressively getting more advanced with newer hardware platforms from Intel and fresher operating systems from Microsoft (and Linux, truth be told). The Wind U135 is the first major contender

Microsoft Pulls Troublesome WinXP Patch, Continues Investigation
Microsoft seems to have quite the issue on their hands. Just a few days after the company began to receive complaints that a company-issued patch was causing seemingly random freezes and reboots on select Windows XP systems, there has been yet another update from the company to inform us all that malware may be to blame. Or maybe not. But it's still investigating.

It's kind of unsettling, particularly for those poor Windows XP netbook users who rely heavily on that as their main machine while on the road. As of now, the patch that started this whole mess has been removed while the company investigates further, and a quote from them notes that they "are not yet ruling out other potential causes at this time." We're thinking that the malware could have reacted negatively to the patch (which was aimed at fixing something else) and now that very exploit could be utilized by things other than malware. In other words, Microsoft may have just created a lot more trouble by attempting to patch up a 17-year old DOS exploit that was essentially not harmful in 2010.

The full statement is below, but the take away here is to but a manual hold on your Windows XP updates if you haven't already. You don't want an automated patch to crash your system, do you?


In our continuing investigation in to the restart issues related to MS10-015that a limited number of customers are experiencing, we have determinedthat malware on the system can cause the behavior. We are not yetruling out other potential causes at this time and are stillinvestigating. Please review our blog post from yesterday for additional information.

Oneof the key components when investigating issues like this are obtainingmemory dumps from computers experiencing the problem. In order to getthe information we need to fully analyze the issue, some of our supportengineers have actually driven to customer locations and picked upaffected systems so we can get the needed crash data directly and helpinform our investigation. For more information about memory dumps,please see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/254649.

We encourage customers to follow our “Protect Your PCâ€‌best practices and always have up to date anti-virus software runningon their systems to help prevent malware infections. For customers whodo not have anti-virus software, you can either scan your system usingour online tool at http://safety.live.com or you can install Microsoft Security Essentials for free.

Thiscan be a difficult issue to solve once a computer is in an un-bootablestate so we encourage customers who feel they have been impacted bythis to contact our Customer Service and Support group by either goingto https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com or by calling 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338). International customers can find local support contact numbers here: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx.

Sony Ericsson Announces XPERIA X10 mini and X10 mini pro
Mobile World Congress has opened up in Spain, and the cellphone/smartphone news is overflowing. It's pretty much the CES for mobile phones, and Sony Ericsson is on-hand to deliver two of their newest devices. Following up on the nicely styled XPERIA X10, the company has issued the XPERIA X10 mini and XPERIA X10 mini pro, both of which are shrunken versions of the Android-based original.

It seems that SE is going for a new market segment here. In the past, any "tiny" phone was generally seen as a featurephone or dumbphone at best. No real "smartphones" have arrived in a form factor so small. Both of these phones have Google's Android operating system, a customizable "UX" platform, and enhanced one-hand usability, while the pro version has a slide-out QWERTY keypad. The company's own Timescape feature also brings together all forms of communication, enabling owners to see their Twitter updated, Facebook profile updates, missed calls and text messages in one place. It's sort of like BlackBerry's all-in-one notification area, and it's something we wish the iPhone had as well.



Final specs include a 5MP camera, "four corner control," a multi-media and YouTube player and HSPA 3G support. The X10 mini will be available in select markets next quarter in white, black, pink, lime, red and silver, while the X10 mini pro will be available in Q2 in black and red; pricing has yet to be disclosed for either.


Xperiaâ„¢ X10 mini and X10 mini pro

  • Sony Ericsson Timescapeâ„¢ -آ brings together all communication in one place
  • Four corner control – applications, calls, web, the consumer decides. Four customisable icons for ultimate control
  • 5 megapixel camera and video - share creations via the web
  • Music player links to music stores and YouTubeâ„¢ - access the world of music
  • Android platformآ - with Googleâ„¢ services and Android Marketâ„¢
  • QWERTY keyboard - slide and text for quick and easy messaging (Xperiaâ„¢ X10 mini pro only)

X10 mini and X10 mini pro supports HSPA 900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA 850/1900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.

Windows Phone 7 Series Springs To Life, Windows Mobile Now History
Microsoft has been taking a beating over the past couple of years in the mobile market, with operating systems such as webOS, iPhone OS and Android really stealing the thunder that was once owned by Windows Mobile. Even Windows Mobile 6.5.3 was way behind those other next generation systems in many ways, and Microsoft knew it. The software company certainly took their precious time before jumping head first into the new world order surrounding the new breed of do-it-all smartphones, but Windows Phone 7 Series promises to make up for lost time in a big way.

The new mobile operating system was unveiled this afternoon in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2010, with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on hand to usher in the next generation of WinMo and hopefully brush aside the painful memories of lagging behind the "other guys" for so long. This is definitely the most exciting, and potentially game-changing, announcement at MWC. Consumers have been waiting for a new move from Microsoft in the mobile area for far too long, but all of the code that WinMo 6 was built on has been scrapped in favor of taking a brand new, fresh approach to the mobile OS.



Building Windows Phone 7 Series from the ground-up seems like a great decision. There's obviously a lot of tight integration with Xbox LIVE and Zune, and in many ways, the user interface resembles that already seen on the Zune HD. Microsoft isn't giving out too many details about when we'll see this new OS on phones, but we are told that partners have begun to build them and they should be available on a great deal of carriers (and from a great deal of phone builders) by the holiday season of 2010.



What's interesting is that Microsoft seems to be taking a Palm/Apple approach that they haven't taken in the past. Previously, with WinMo 6.x.x, phone makers were allowed to customize and skin the OS how they wanted. TouchWiz and Sense overlays made Windows Mobile look much differently than Microsoft's stock build, but none of that tweaking will be allowed this time. Microsoft is being fairly strict about what kind of phone can run this new system, and it will be holding more of the power. We know that sounds harsh, but it's likely that this will ensure that more users have a positive user experience. Before, Microsoft was trying to cater to everyone, and it seems that Windows Mobile became "okay" for the weakest link, leaving even high end smartphones lacking due to a weak and buggy OS.

Early reports seem to suggest that the new system is leaps and bounds better than before. In fact, many are saying it looks nothing like the Windows Mobile of old, and instead looks more like the Zune HD but with a phone interface. Even the traditional "Start" menu is gone in favor of new "tiles," and while most every major smartphone platform uses tiles in some form today, Microsoft has managed to create something that honestly looks new and fresh.


Microsoft Silverlight required for this video demo

So, let's count: iPhone OS, BlackBerry OS, webOS, Bada, Android and Windows Phone 7 Series. The smartphone world just got a huge boost, and the other guys are certainly going to have to look at their portfolio in order to keep pace with the bombshell that Ballmer just dropped. We're excited to see more competition in this space. As devices continue to shrink and converge, the smartphone will become ever more important in the grand scheme of things. We'll be able to use them for more and more tasks, and given that Windows is such a dominant force in the desktop/laptop OS space, it only makes sense for the company to be a real threat in the mobile area. We'll be keeping an eye out for new Windows Phone 7 Series (yes, that's the full name, which is a bit long in our opinion) phones from Mobile World Congress, but it sounds like Microsoft will only be showcasing a prototype from a nameless OEM for awhile.آ

Here's a snip from the official Microsoft PR...
Windows Phone 7 Series creates an unrivaled set of integrated experiences on a phone through Windows Phone hubs. Hubs bring together related content from the Web, applications and services into a single view to simplify common tasks. Windows Phone 7 Series includes six hubs built on specific themes reflecting activities that matter most to people:آ

Microsoft Shows Off Bing Maps With Augmented Reality
Mapping and routing are two technologies that have become huge over the past few years, and they're only getting bigger. As more and more of the world becomes digitized for mobile consumption, companies are looking for more ways to interact with roads, geography, directions and reality of the live world itself. Google has already shown its innovation arm with Google Earth and Street View, and now Microsoft is hoping to steal some of that thunder with a showcase at the TED 2010 Conference in California.



Blaise Aguera y Arcas is an architect at Microsoft Live Labs, and he has worked on Seadragon, Photosynth and of course, Bing Maps. At the show, he demonstrated a new look at Bing Maps, which was ultra-fluid and demonstrated a whole new way of looking at things. He showed Seattle (near Microsoft's campus) as an example, and as he zoomed in, the maps automatically switched to an astounding 3D view of buildings and roadways. The new take was deemed to be "Sim City-like."



In a way, it's a lot like Google's Street View, but it goes a step further. The maps even displayed the inside of Pike's Place Market, and augmented realityآ was made live for the demo from the online map. It's hard to do it justice in mere words; give the video below a look and prepare to be amazed.


As Blaise explained, Bing Maps pulled in the street-view Bing map and then overlaid an augmented version of it, based on a voice and video chat conversation he was having with his colleagues who were on location, otherwise known as "telepresence" but virtually, or perhaps literally, anywhere in the world.آ Talk about absolutely and utterly amazing technology; man has no limits.آ It's clear to see this and companies like Microsoft are pushing the envelope quite literally, of the human existence.

Samsung Demonstrates World's First LTE Netbook
It's funny how our world has changed in the past couple of years. For the longest while, new technologies came to mainstream, full-size notebooks first. For those willing to pay the premium, they also had to pick up a larger machine. Now, with netbooks being as huge as they are, newer technologies are hitting those small machines first. Who would have thought that one of the world's first LTE-integrated laptops would be a netbook?

At Mobile World Congress in Spain, Samsung took a break from showcasing their new smartphones to demonstrate the planet's first LTE-enabled netbook. The N150 features Samsung's own Kalmia LTE modem chipset, and it could ship with 3G as well in order to hop between networks. Aside from the new connection option, the device remains largely unchanged; there's a 10.1" display, an Atom processor, 1GB/2GB of RAM and the rest of the usual netbook accessories.



Samsung isn't saying when it will ship this, nor for how much. Instead, they're saying they'll ship where there's market demand, which basically means "where there's LTE installed."

Sony Ericsson Brings Slide-Out QWERTY Keypad To Vivaz Pro Smartphone
Sony Ericsson just unveiled their Vivaz phone a few weeks ago, and already the device's successor (or partner, at least) is being released at Mobile World Congress. The Vivaz pro follows the X10 mini and X10 mini pro in being a standard upgrade to an existing handset, with the main addition to the Vivaz pro being a real QWERTY keypad. The standard Vivaz relies on a "soft" on-screen keyboard, so this one aims at smartphone users who prefer the hard keys instead.

Of course, the full touch panel is still here, so you're really getting the best of both worlds. The phone is just marginally thicker than the original Vivaz, but the 3.2" wide touchscreen will help you forget all about it when playing back HD video footage. There's also integrated Wi-Fi, HSPA 3G and availability in black or white colors.



Other specs include a 5.1MP camera, Bluetooth, a multi-media player, speakerphone, video calling, 3D gaming support, a-GPS, Google Maps, turn-by-turn navigation, a 3.5mm audio jack, DLNA certification, 8GB microSD card and a 640 x 360 resolution display. There's no word yet on pricing nor availability, but we guess it will ship first in Europe.

Asus Goes Multi-Touch With 10.1" Eee PC T101MT Netbook/Tablet
Touchscreen computing still has a long ways to go before it's popular in the mainstream, but if anyone can help, it's Asus. This company basically started the netbook craze that's still going on now, and they have just announced their latest in the famous Eee PC, which just so happens to feature a multi-touch panel that swivels around and becomes a tablet PC.



The Eee PC T101MT is the first Eee PC Touch device to go multi-touch, and it ships with Windows 7, a 10.1" display, PenWrite technology that enables note-taking and doodling, unique Touch software to take advantage of the screen and an additional 500GB of data storage courtesy of the Asus WebStorage feature. In many ways, the design here is just like other Eee PC units, but the screen is real showstopper.



It's a LED backlit panel with a 1024x600 resolution, and other specs include 1GB or 2GB of DDR2 RAM, Wi-Fi-, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a 160GB or 320GB hard drive, 0.3MP webcam, stereo speakers, a microphone input, one VGA output, three USB 2.0 ports, an ethernet jack, a card reader that supports SD, SDHC and SDXC and a battery that can last up to 6.5 hours. It weighs ust 2.86lbs. and will ship in black or white, though there's no clear indication of when it will be available and for how much. Something tells us Asus could have a hit on their hands here. It's a lot like the T91 that we reviewed last year, but Windows 7 should make for an entirely new (and better) experience.

Samsung Introduces Bada-Based Wave Smartphone With Bluetooth 3.0
With Windows Mobile, webOS, Android, BlackBerry OS and iPhone OS dominating the smartphone scene, you might think that yet another mobile platform would just be overkill. But not if you're Samsung. The company has unveiled its first major Bada-based phone (the Wave) at Mobile World Congress in Spain, and aside from bringing a new face to the smartphone OS wars, it also has a few other "firsts" for consumers who love the cutting edge.

Reportedly, it's the first smartphone that is equipped with both Bluetooth 3.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi.
