Blackberry Applications for Visually Impaired

The visually impaired soon will be able to use the BlackBerry. Because Research In Motion (RIM) as the smart phone manufacturers are currently developing a special BlackBerry applications for the visually impaired so can read the screen. RIM has made a copyright or patent for the device, called multi-tap keyboard user interface.

Applications will be immersed in the capture command BlackBerry or key press on the keyboard users, and then inform the user what button has been pressed in the form of sound. In addition, equipped BlackBerry application could also help explain what the menu will displayed on BlackBerry via voice.

Until now, there is no justification or an official denial from RIM regarding this matter. However, RIM currently developing an application that can help people with limited vision in order to easily access and operate their BlackBerry smartphone.

Comment :
The previous months HumanWare launched application called Oratio. The Oratio is application based on screen reader that converts the information presented visually on the BlackBerry smartphone screen into speech output. This would be a good combination between HumanWare and RIM, because RIM applications based on key press and HumanWare application is based on screen reader.

LTE - The Promising Evolution

This evolution is interesting because not only can be done on a GSM network, but also on the CDMA network which had been impressed by how the two different camps. Indeed, to go to Long Term Evolution (LTE), not just the infrastructure that must be perfected, but also the readiness of the terminal or mobile device that will use it.

Although too large pedestal on LTE can reduce the comfort of the wearer, the hope of cellular networks with LTE becomes very large. Especially considering competing broadband technologies, namely WiMAX, still hobbled its implementation and WiFi are less developed.

Currently many applications that can not be heavy or difficult to run through the cellular network. Call it like streaming HD video, online games, upload photos and video with high speed will also reduce the density in the base transceiver station (BTS) and spawned many new solutions.

Evolutive also taken steps to realize Indosat DC-HSPA + network first before stepping into LTE. Especially considering the speed of a DC-HSPA + network that reached 42 megabits per second (Mbps) of this there has been no device that can take full advantage.

T-MOBILE and 3 UK

T-MOBILE and 3 UK middle of running the program with a breakthrough in the form of infrastructure development which will be completed in late 2010. When completed, the infrastructure will be the largest shared network in Europe and will offer the widest range of 3G services for its customers smart phones and dongles in the UK, and the level of coverage and performance is very good connection.
3G HSDPA network has been offering coverage for more than 90% of the population of England. At the end of this year, network coverage will be expanded to reach more than 98% of the population.
In December 2007, in anticipation of growth in mobile Internet usage and data quickly in the future, T-Mobile UK and 3 UK to combine their 3G network infrastructure through a 50:50 joint venture company, Mobile Broadband Network Ltd (MBNL). The goal is to create the best 3G network in the UK that is faster and more efficiently than can be done individually.
With the resulting network requires fewer towers, lower energy consumption and provide broadband service to move unusual for its customers.

iPhone 4G

Starting end of April 2010, sell HTC handsets with Android operating system to market the United States (U.S.).
HTC offers Droid Incredible work with Verizon Wireless, operator services a variety of products in the U.S. telecommunications giant. HTC's new phone is equipped with the latest Android, Android 2.1.

Respone :

The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound. An aluminum border going completely around the outside. Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution).

What about you?

WiGig

Today the Wireless Gigabit Alliance has announced a new wireless technology 60 GHz provides unparalleled speed data transfers. The Speeds 10x Current Rate.

To give you an idea of how fast that is, one hour of high-definition video can take up to 45 minutes to transfer over current Wi-Fi, but a WiGig connection can cut down the transfer time for that same one-hour HD video to less than a minute, according to WiGig representatives.


Respone:

This technology should be supported by the reduction in subscription price of internet connection. Especially for developing countries. Thus, in the presence WiGig will be very useful.

WD Scorpio Blue began distributing 2.5-inch hard drives for notebook with 750 GB capacity. This is the highest data storage capacity in the industry today in its class. WD Scorpio Blue 750 GB notebook computer designed for general use.
The drives is in the 12.5-mm form factor, so they will fit in notebooks and small form factor desktops. The new 1TB capacity doubles the 500GB capacity that had become the large capacity standard for 2.5-inch hard drives. They also deliver a high performance 3Gb per second transfer rate.

Review :

The 12.5mm height drives are not very common any more. Almost all laptop drives sold nowdays are the slimmer 9mm height drives, and many laptops can only accept the smaller size. All of Apple's portables that could accept a SATA drive cannot use a 12.5mm drive.
I'm surprised WD jumped out with a 12.5mm drive.

BlackBerry 9700 ONYX

BlackBerry Bold 9700 Bold Onyx 2 has a design which is sweeter and more slim than the first Bold 9000, Javelin designnya closer. But having the right capabilities with wireless Internet speeds at 3.6 Mbps HSDPA 3G network. So that the downloaded data and applications increasingly faster browsing. This certainly also exists in the Bold 9000. In addition to HSDPA, there are also other data access speed GPRS with 32-48 kbps and EDGE Class 10, with a speed of 236.8 Kbps.

The main difference besides the design, the Bold is the first navigation system, Onyx no longer use the trackball, but rely on a touch-sensitive optical trackpad and full QWERTY keyboard. This is similar to the BlackBerry Gemini.

Onyx emmiliki 3:15 Mpix camera, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus, LED flash and has the ability to save internal data and 256 MB additional memory with a microSD (TransFlash), up to 16GB, 2GB Included.

With a more streamlined and elegant design, and also has wireless Internet capability kenceng, it is expected that this second Bold will get more market share rather than Bold 9000 maximum, and desingnya no longer a gender bias, alias suitable for men and women.
