Mobiles Phone Blogs

For those still getting to grips with the world of “apps” these are simply applications that can be downloaded to an iPhone or iPod Touch, two of the most search for products this Christmas.

The iTunes store now has more than 90,000 of these applications, which offer games, city guides, travel planners, language dictionaries and music services. Some of these apps are free, and most cost less than £4.99.

And if you dop not own a iPhone, Nokia, Orange, Samsung and BlackBerry have all launched their own application stores – although the choice of products may be more limited.

Below are five of the best money-saving apps available.

1. Cheaper shopping

Red Laser this costs £1.19 and will scan any bar code for you then search for cheaper online prices using the Google product search. This is particularly useful when buying larger items such as televisions and fridges, saving you money and the hassle of shopping around for better deals. It will also scan a book then check for reviews or scan groceries and add it to its shopping list, so next time you visit the supermarket, you have a list ready.

2. Lower phone bills

If you get fed up paying 35p per minute calling premium rate phone number, then download the free “0870″ app. This converts 0870, 0845 and 0800 telephone numbers into normal rate landline number, eg those starting with 020, 0151, 0115 etc. These will either be including within your monthly call allowance or are substantially cheaper to call for those on pay as you go packages.

Mobile phone owners may also want to download Mobile Allowance, for 59p, this app gives you a comprehensive reading of your mobile allowance, showing phone owners how many free minutes and texts they have left. This is ideal for those who are prone to talking or texting too much, and going over their limit. Both talk time and texts are shows as a progress bar on your phone helping you keep track of your monthly usage.

Maemo 5 injects speed and power into mobile computing

The new Nokia N900: Computer-grade performance in a handset Espoo, Finland –

Nokia today marked the next phase in the evolution of Maemo software with the new Nokia N900. Taking its cues from the world of desktop computing, the open source, Linux-based Maemo software delivers a PC-like experience on a handset-sized device.

The Nokia N900 has evolved from Nokia’s previous generation of Internet Tablets and broadens the choice for technology enthusiasts who appreciate the ability to multitask and browse the internet like they would on their desktop computer.

Running on the new Maemo 5 software, the Nokia N900 empowers users to have dozens of application windows open and running simultaneously while taking full advantage of the cellular features, touch screen and QWERTY keyboard.

“With Linux software, Mozilla-based browser technology and now also with cellular connectivity, the Nokia N900 delivers a powerful mobile experience,” says Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia. “The Nokia N900 shows where we are going with Maemo and we’ll continue to work with the community to push

the software forward. What we have with Maemo is something that is fusing the power of the computer, the internet and the mobile phone, and it is great to see that it is evolving in exciting ways.” Designed for computer-grade performance in a compact size, Maemo complements Nokia’s other software platforms, such as Symbian, which powers Nokia’s smartphones.

“Just as Nokia continues to expand and diversify its device portfolio, so it is deploying multiple platforms to allow it to serve different purposes and address different markets. While we have seen continued growth in Symbian as a smartphone platform, Maemo enables Nokia to deliver new mobile computing experiences

based on open-source technology that has strong ties with desktop platforms,” says Jonathan Arber, Senior Research Analyst in Consumer Mobile at IDC.

More multitasking with Maemo

The Nokia N900 packs a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. The result is PC-like multitasking, allowing many applications to run simultaneously. Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through the dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications. To make web browsing more enjoyable, the Nokia N900 features a high-resolution WVGA touch screen and fast internet connectivity with 10/2 HSPA and WLAN. Thanks to the browser powered by Mozilla technology, websites look the way they would on any computer. Online videos and interactive applications are vivid with full Adobe Flash™ 9.4 support. Maemo software updates happen automatically over the internet. Messaging on the N900 is easy and convenient thanks to the full physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Setting

up email happens with only a few touches and the Nokia Messaging service mobilizes up to 10 personal email accounts. Text message or IM exchanges with friends are shown in one view and all conversations are organized as separate windows.

The Nokia N900 has 32GB of storage, which is expandable up to 48GB via a microSD card. For photography, the  Maemo software and the N900 come with a new tag cloud user interface that will help users get the most out of the 5MP camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The Nokia N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009 with an estimated retail price of EUR 500 excluding sales taxes and subsidies. The Nokia N900 will be displayed at Nokia World, Stuttgart, on

September 2.  More information on Maemo is available at http://maemo.nokia.com.

Kodak has defied all present expectations of mobile phone cameras by proposing their idea of a 5.0 megapixel camera onto a mobile phone.

The Eastman Kodak Company is certain that their new 1.4 micron sensor will have the ability to be put into some of the cheapest phones and plans to flaunt this fact at the Mobile World Congress later next week.

Combined with CMOS technology as well as Kodak’s own Color Filter Pattern (sic) technology, the KAC-05020 image sensor will produce excellent looking pictures even in poor lighting. Kodak says that this makes the 1.4 micron KAC-05020 better than 1.75 micron pixel CMOS image sensors.  More..
