Toshiba's four new Regza Android ICS tablets
Toshiba is coming up with four new Regza branded tablets in Japan.The
basic specs of these four devices are some what same. But Toshiba has
claimed that the four models will have differences in processor, display
and resolution. They all are running on the latest Android 4.0 ICS
operating system. The four tablets feature a 5 megapixel rear shooter
and a 2 megapixel secondary camera having video chatting option. It is
decent and good enough to capture images with clarity. These new tablets range in size from 7 inch to 13 inch. The four new tablets are named as Regza AT830, Regza AT570, Regza AT500 and Regza AT700 respectively.
Toshiba’s
business strategy seems interesting. Though, launching 4 models with
differences mainly in display and processing efficiency seemed quite
confusing, but the company has a clear plan behind this. They plan to
give customers flexible options to choose one as per their needs and
budget. Tablet market is quite hot and competition is getting intense
with Toshiba too joining the fray quite aggressively along with Samsung
and Apple.

How to use Gmail Canned Responses on Android
Good tips When you're traveling, there may not
always be time to write a response to those who contact you. It's easy
to forget what you need to do with an e-mail you've already read sitting
in your inbox. Maybe a family member sent you something they want
feedback on, or maybe a business client needs a question answered. In
either case, you want to let the person on the other end of the e-mail
know what's going on with you and when you'll be able to devote time to
their requests.You may recall a Gmail Labs feature called Canned Responses that
lets you set up prewritten responses to your e-mail this app is the
mobile counterpart to it. After all, you're more likely to be away from
your computer when you actually need these canned responses. Here's how
to get started with the
Android version: Step 1: Install a copy of Gmail Canned Responses on your Android device.Step 2: Sign-in to your Gmail account so the application can access your saved canned responses in your account.Step 3: Open the app and then tap on the response you want to use. The response will be copied to your Android clipboard.Now all you need to do is press and hold in the response area of your Gmail message to paste the canned response.One drawback to this app is that it stays in your notification shade
while you're signed in to access the responses. There doesn't seem to be
a setting to turn this off (yet), but in the meantime it's a good
option for fast and nicely formatted responses while you're mobile.that's it....

TDK's new ST700 headphone
One of the technological advancements that TDK claims for the ST700 is
that they were developed by its Audio Research Lab to create pure sound
that doesn’t display any signs of artificial tuning. According to TDK
these headphones offer true sound.TDK has provided ST700 with a matte-rubber finish around the ear cups
and over the adjustable headband. A rotary metallic piece is at the
centre of each of the ear cups. From the ear cups comes a thick cable
that connects to a really stiff extension cable of 30 inches. The
thickness of the cable ensures that it doesn’t get tangled easily. But
some reviewers also claim that the thickness actually makes it harder to
manipulate. Specifically, TDK claims that ST700
does away with distorted sound by not cranking the bass or resorting to
any such tricks.TDK’s on-ear high fidelity ST700 headphones live up to the company’s
reputation for quality audio products. They offer great audio
performance though reviewers suggest it could get a tad uncomfortable
during long hours of use.The foldable TDK ST700 headphones come with:
- Soft-touch ear cups,
- 40mm drivers,
- Extension cable with a length of 0.79m and 6.3mm, and
- 3.5mm adapters

Google's Android

place, accounting for 33.3 million of the 101.2 million smart phones
shipped worldwide in the fourth quarter 2010.Canalys, which crunched smart phone shipments across North America, Asia Pacific, EMEA and Latin America, said Android edged the struggling Nokia, which sold 31 million units for the quarter.Android's
market share closed slashed to its
shipment total, at 32.9 percent,
while Nokia was at 30.6 percent share through Q4. No. 5 smart phone
provider Microsoft's unit shipments and market share were 3.1 million
and 3.1 percent, respectively for Q4.Android partly prompted by the first major marketing push of Verizon's Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris in the 2009 holiday season."Verizon
will move its focus away from the Droid range, but the overall market
impact will mean less carrier-exclusive deals, while increasing the
AT&T opportunity for Android vendors, such as HTC, Motorola and
Samsung," Shepherd added.Most market analyst expects iPhone to
easily outshine Android in the United States, nailing 10 million to 20
million unit sales via Verizon alone.

Motorola ATRIX HD
Motorola ATRIX HD is a big-screen dual-core Android
smartphone that ships with Android 4.0 ICS.The main features of the ATRIX HD are the 4.5" 720 x 1280
pixel display enhanced with Color Boost technology that Motorola
says gives the handset more vibrant and sharper images. On the back
is an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture capabilities,
plus a 1.3 megapixel video calling camera on the front. Inside is
a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU coupled with 1GB of RAM. The ATRIX HD has
a micro SD slot, although it isn't clear how much flash memory it
has internally.This
is an Android 4.0 device (although remember that Android 4.1 is
now available on some rival devices) and as such it has dispensed
with the physical buttons on the front, reserving an area of the
screen for them instead. All the usual Android features are here
such as WiFi, 3.5G support, GPS, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
There's a media player but no FM radio, but there is an HDMI port
and when combined with the 720p HD display this should be a very
decent portable media player.The ATRIX HD has inherited the Kevlar back from the RAZR, although
it's a little thicker than the RAZR at 8.4mm thick with a footprint
of 134 x 70mm. The ATRIX HD weighs 140 grams and comes with a 1780
mAh battery.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 for Windows 8
Lenovo has really been upping its game this decade. It has generally
been the fastest-growing PC company in a world that seems to think PCs
are dead. Apparently, Lenovo never got that memo and is doing pretty
damn well as a result. Last week, it announced its Windows 8 halo
product, the Lenovo
ThinkPad Tablet 2 for Windows 8.
The Lenovo Tablet 2 is the product that now sets the gold standard for Windows 8, in that it is lighter than the iPad, almost as thin, has similar battery life, and still runs a full suite of Windows products, including all the new ones from the Windows 8 app store.
Lenovo didn't rip off any Apple designs either; its design language is an updated variant of the ThinkPad classic look.
Lenovo typically builds the most robust business laptops in the market, and I'm expecting similar things from this product, which also conforms to security and management requirements in large enterprises.

Sony Vaio E-series notebook
The Vaio E-series does look quite powerful. This is powered by
the Intel Core i5–2450M (2.5GHz) processor, with the Turbo Mode taking
it to 3.1GHz. There is 4GB of RAM to help this along. Just to make it
clear, this isn’t from the latest Ivy Bridge series of processors, but
the previous gen Sandy Bridge oneThe moment this laptop emerges from the box, your attention is going to
get torn between multiple visual elements. The first is the black finish
that gets a thin red border almost around all sides of the laptop. The
second one is the lid is slightly smaller than the base area, which is a
standout design.The matte black finish does have a slightly shiny element to it, but
doesn’t catch dust and scratches, since it isn’t exactly a glossy
finish. On the lid is the small Sony logo and a bigger VAIO logo in the
middle.Framing the lid is a red stripe. Open it, and the same matte
finish carries on around the keyboard and on the bezel, albeit in silver
colour. This finish does spill over for a bit to where the keypad
begins.Port placement is spread around the side spines – 4 USB ports (all 3.0
variety), HDMI out, Ethernet as well as the optical drive. No
experimentation with placing the ports on the back. The cooling vent
seems to be quite generous, and actually it is needed, since the machine
inevitably heats up when taxed.

Sony Xperia Go
Sony Xperia Gois The device is really slim at 9.8mm thin and really light too weighing a mere 110 grams. It is lighter than the HTC One V (read our review) and the Motorola Atrix 2 (read our review) that weigh 115 grams and 147 grams respectively.
On the face of the Sony Xperia Go is the 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 480x320 pixels. Even though the resolution of the display seems a bit less, it is enough to get the job done as the LED display is quite crisp to use in day to day activities.Below the display rest the standard three touch sensitive buttons – back, home and menu.
In terms of connectivity, the Sony Xperia Go has the on/off/sleep/wake button at the top. The microUSB port rests on the right of the device and the headphones jack rests on the left. The best part is that these ports are well covered by rubber flaps sealing them from dust and external hazards. Even though it is nice that the ports are covered, they are rubber finish that acts as a cover is inconvenient to remove each time. The right of the device also houses the volume rocker. There is no dedicated camera button on the device and this is missed.All in all, the Xperia Go has a candy bar form factor and the design isn’t stellar enough to turn heads. But that's the price you pay for a rugged build. The phone is capable of surviving quite a few drops and bumps.

Huawei to start smartphone manufacturing in India
Huawei is planning to start production of smartphones for the
Indian market in its Chennai plant, helping it expand its presence in
the country to over 200 cities and 20,000 outlets, in three years.
Huawei right now has a presence in over 35 Indian cities , with 2,500
outlets across the country.
Currently, Huawei’s Chennai plant makes networking equipment, such as the recently introduced E355 data card with Wi-Fi hotspot support.
The company is reportedly doing quality testing and strengthening
logistics channels before it embarks on smartphone production.
Speaking to the Financial Chronicle,
Victor Shan, President of Huawei India’s device business department,
said: "Low-level feature phones are preferred in rural areas while
smartphones are preferred in tier I and tier II cities." Tier I cities
reportedly account for 60 percent of its smartphone sales.
According to Shan, the Indian market has
a large demand “smartphone look-alikes”, which are priced at less than
Rs. 10,000, yet offer form factors and features of smartphones. They
make up roughly 80% of Huawei’s mobile phone sales in the country.

Survey reveals, price is the biggest barrier for 3G services adoption in India
After much deliberation, the 3G auctions concluded in May 2010, the first private 3G service began their rollout by Q1 2011.
It’s been nearly one and half years since the 3G services began their
proliferation of the Indian mobile data market, with a slowly growing
infrastructure accompanied by a steady drop in prices.
Our poll was conducted to gauge just how well 3G services
have penetrated the Indian market, and finding out what were the
primary reasons that consumers shied away from them. We asked you, ‘Are
you using mobile 3G services in India?’
533 readers, or 34 percent of the
respondents, said ‘Yes.’ This figure also contains those readers who use
3G services, but are not necessarily happy with them. Of the 1579 poll
takers, only 91, or 6% said ‘No, I don’t need 3G.’
The highest number of votes (704) was
cast by readers (44%) who chose the option ‘No, it’s too expensive right
now,’ plainly indicating that a large portion of the demographic for 3G
services finds them unaffordable. About 16% of the votes, cast by 251
readers, chose “No, the 3G coverage in India is awful,” indicating that
the telecom operators have a long way to go, at least in public
perception, before they can provide comprehensive 3G cover across the
major portions of the country.

How To Install Android 4.1.On Galaxy S3 Through Leaked ROM?
Samsung
unveiled the Galaxy S3, its flagship smartphone in May as a biggest
threat to the Android heavyweights in the smartphone arena. The handset
with its massive display and exclusive features made the enormous heads
turn towards itself.
A
month after the smartphone’s release, Google unveiled the next
iteration of its Android operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which
created a crave among the users to have Jelly Bean on their Galaxy S3
handsets.
Relatively,
on Thursday a leaked build of the OS surfaced in the tech media world
claiming to give users “the chance to test the first Jelly Bean ROM by
Samsung.”
A
video on YouTube has been posted by AndroidMX, which looks like an
evidence to prove that Samsung is working hard on the Android 4.1 Jelly
Bean upgrade for the Galaxy S3. In the video, a Galaxy S3 handset is
seen running an early build of the Jelly Bean ROM which is quite stable
and resembles a final release build. This early ROM build is dubbed
i9300XADLG4.
The
build in the video shows all the features of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean –
Project Butter, Google Now, Google’s voice search, virtual keyboard and
expanded notifications. Also, a new clock (in line with JB vanilla) in
the notification bar, a function called “Dormant mode”, a couple of new
Live Wallpapers, “Palm swipe” allowing screenshot, Reboot into “safe
mode”, however, there were some bugs as well.
According
to SamMobile report they faced “some troubles, for instance the
internal SDCARD got formatted and some apps can’t be installed due to
problems with smdl2tmp1.asec (which can’t be found at all).”
These
problems could also be local to the specific device. A good suggestion
is to prepare a backup of everything prior flash,” said the report.
At
the same time, the site also provided the steps for flashing the ROM.
Although, the user should be careful enough to know a some important
points before attempting flashing.

Nokia Lumia 610
The most affordable Windows smartphone from Nokia
yet, the Nokia Lumia 610 takes advantage of the latest "Tango"
release of Windows Phone 7.5, aimed at making Windows available
on more modest smartphones.
Priced at just €189 before tax and subsidy, the
Lumia 610 is a fair bit cheaper than the Lumia
710 and an awful lot less than Nokia
Lumia 800. But then, the hardware is a lot less powerful too,
the Lumia 610 only has an 800 MHz processor, 256MB of RAM and 8GB
of internal memory, plus a mid-sized 3.7" 480 x 800 pixel TFT
display.
On the back is a 5 megapixel camera capable of VGA
resolution video capture, and on the front.. is no camera at all,
because Windows doesn't yet support it. All the usual smartphone
features are here including GPS, 3.5G and WiFi support, Bluetooth,
a multimedia player, a web browser plus some pocket versions of
Microsoft Office. One key selling feature with the Nokia Lumia range
is Nokia's own mapping application, included as well on the Nokia
Lumia 610.
The Lumia 610 measures 119 x 62 x 12mm and weighs
132 grams. The 1300 mAh battery is quoted as giving up to 9.5 hours talk time and 30 days standby time on 3G, which is pretty impressive
if accurate.

Microsoft revamps SkyDrive;Should Dropbox be scared?
As
a measure to cope up with the increasing competition in the cloud
storage segment, Microsoft has brought some remarkable modifications to
SkyDrive.com, the browser based interface of its online cloud storage
service Sky Drive.
The
cloud storage service has evolved from the preview stage and has been
turned into a fully functional service. The most visible change is made
in the user interface which organizes the files and documents and
presents them in a tile-based fashion similar to that of a Windows Phone
and Windows 8. Apart from the modifications with visual elements,
Microsoft has also incorporated a whole lot of new features like instant
search, a contextual toolbar and multiple select and drag and dropping
options.
Sky
Drive app for Android will reach the customer base in the next few
weeks and will have features similar to that of the Sky Drive apps
available on iOS and Windows Phone. Apart from browsing, uploading and
sharing of files, users will also be able to open Sky Drive files from
other apps, and upload and save files from other apps to Sky Drive.
Developers
who are looking out for ways to integrate Sky Drive into their apps
will also reap benefits from the revamp of the service. Sky Drive is
slowly transforming itself into a beneficial cloud service; however it
remains to be seen if it manages to make its mark in the segment ruled
by Dropbox.

Now Google adds support for Hindi, Chinese and Russian in Google Docs
In
a recent development, Google has added extended support for Hindi,
Russian and Chinese languages in Google Docs with the launch of its new
text input tool . With this new text input tool, users across India,
China and Russia can from now on type in their own native language.
Google team was quoted as saying, “Depending on the language you’re
typing in, the tool will allow you to input text using the phonetic
spelling of a word or using a virtual keyboard that mirrors your
physical keyboard.”
The
new text input tool is designed to provide users with a wide range of
word choices within a list. A user can choose a word from the given list
by tapping on it. Users can navigate through the list with their
keyboard arrows. A word can be selected by choosing the ‘Enter’ button.
The preferred word can be selected also by typing the number provided
next to the word in the list.
Another
major improvement in the text input tool is the presence of a virtual
keyboard which will appear on the screen. This feature allows users to
enter the preferred characters with ease. The text input tool can be
activated especially in two ways.
- One of the method to activate the text input tool is by tapping on its icon
- For users having a Mac computer, tap ‘Cmd+Shift+K’
- For users having a PC, tap ‘Ctrl + Shift + K’ for activating the text input tool
The
new text input tool also allows users to set up a physical keyboard
capable of mirroring the virtual keyboard. This feature allows users for
typing the non-Latin characters with ease. The introduction of the
three new phonetic input methods is expected to provide more ease of use
for native users of India, China and Russia.

LG Optimus L5
All
the usual Android features are here too such as WiFi, 3.5G and Bluetooth
connectivity, GPS with turn-by-turn navigation plus access to a
massive range of downloadable applications.
There are two variations of the Optimus L5, a dual-SIM version
for Asia, Central and South America, the CIS and Middle East and
a NFC-equipped single-SIM version for North America and the rest
of Europe. If you live in Europe and want a dual-SIM version, it
might be possible to get one from a specialist company.
The Optimus L5 is a smart looking and quite slim device measuring
118 x 67 x 9.5mm. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the old
LG Chocolate
range, and it can probably best be described as good looking
but unmemorable.
No guidance was given on how much the Optimus L5 will cost, but
given the relative prices of the L3
and L7,
we would expect to see this coming in at a little less than €200
SIM-free when it hits the markets later this month.

Google Nexus 7
The Google Nexus 7 is an Android 4.1 ("Jelly
Bean") tablet with a seven inch display, available for pre-order
in most English-speaking countries right now and due to start shipping
in the US in July.
The display on the Nexus 7 is a 7" 800 x 1280 pixel panel with scratch-resistant Corning glass. There's a front-facing 1.2 megapixel camera for video calling but no camera on the back. Inside is a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. The Nexus 7 has a choice of 8GB or 16GB of internal non-expandable flash storage, which isn't a massive amount, and therefore it's a shame that there is no microSD slot.
Google's main competitor here is Amazon rather than Apple, and it's likely in part that Google have seen that Amazon's Kindle Fire product is very good at driving consumers to make more purchases (such as books and videos) from Amazon, and Google would quite like a slice of that business for themselves.

whts next in Android?
Many customers are still stuck waiting for a promised
upgrade to Android 4.0 from Android 2.3. The release of Android
4.1 only serves to underline how bad the situation is for some owners.
In some cases the promised upgrades have been cancelled, in most
cases they are taking a lot longer than originally anticipated.
In our view, the only reliable way to get a handset running Android
4.1 will be to buy a handset running Android 4.1 out of the box.
The radically different approach to Windows Phone may also present a problem to manufacturers who will have to go off and redesign their handsets from scratch. In the long term this move is likely to give Microsoft a significant strategic advantage, but Microsoft's partners are likely to be unhappy about having to start again with their smartphone designs. However, several manufacturers have shown commitment to this, and Microsoft have a reasonable chance of some success.
