As a mobile platform, the EVO 4G’s Android foundation is still an infant — well, okay, perhaps it’s a tweener — but in its two-odd years in the public spotlight, the list of truly revolutionary devices to use it has been a significant one: the G1 for being the first to market; the Nexus One for ushering in a new (and subsequently killed) retail model; perhaps the CLIQ for introducing Motorola to the platform or the Droid for bringing the company some desperately needed, long overdue success. For the moment, anyway, a whopping fraction of the world’s most important phones are running Google’s little experiment.

Needless to say, Sprint, HTC, and quite frankly, many of us have come to expect the EVO 4G to join that short list for some obvious reasons. Put simply, its magnificent list of specs reads as though it was scribbled on a napkin after a merry band of gadget nerds got tipsy at the watering hole and started riffing about their idea of the ultimate mobile device: a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 4.3-inch WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, HDMI-out, and WiMAX compatibility. Of course, the list of potential deal-breakers for a phone is as long as the EVO 4G’s display is wide; to put it another way, there are countless ways HTC, Sprint, or even Google could’ve screwed this thing up. So does this moderately intimidating black slab of pure engineering and marketing

When I received my New N900, just feel nothing cos the design quite similar with N97 ( have played around with before) …nothing impressed me on N97 though. Just be patient and charging it for some time (normal for new phone , to avoid battery drain qucikly) ~ 5 hrs. Loading for the first time, with full of “WOW”.

The phone come with almost linux feature except for the menu  (unlike microsoft). With multiple desktop , user can drag application, widgets, shortcut based on categories, function or which ever you like most. For me, this phone mainly for power user ( simply like to get into the kernel and try all round application untill it crashed) because it is a very powerfull mobile device. Just imagine that one can handle multiple operation up to mre tha 20 applications at one time….and still at good performance…

But, with the limited RootFS space ( on 72 MB left after clean flash ) ,I found difficulties to install more application, especially form alpha level ( require bigger storage). Though I can manage to save 40 MB more by relocating some folder and symlink them to the /home folder, the world still not enough for open source system.

After bulks of complaints and dissappointment on WM6, Microsoft is seems to walk out with their new game plan, Windows Phone 7 Series (WP7s). So, whats new in WP7s? According to Xbox Live general manager Ron Pessner and XNA Game Studio manager Michael Klucher, the new WP7s platform will be integrated with XBox and ZuneHD. Hence the users will have a new experience in gaming experience and more advanced graphical interface compare to the slumpy WM6. The important facto is to maintain a consistent gameplay experience amongst different hardware, and the reasoning behind limiting devices to asynchronous multiplayer.

Windows Phone 7 Series prototype device with accelerometer and touch controls, and the Xbox 360 with the Xbox gamepad. Interestingly, not only is the development cross-platform friendly, but the game itself (a simple Indiana Jones platformer was demoed) saves its place and lets you resume from that spot on whichever platform you happen to pick up. Pretty impressive stuff, and while the words “Windows Phone 7 Series” weren’t spoken by Eric Rudder, in TechEd Middle East,  the use of the prototype ASUS device and the clear emphasis that this would place on Xbox Live for making the magic happen make it obvious that this is the “wave of the future” for all three platforms — at least for casual gaming.

Rumoured has been exploded that Google will come out with their Chrome OS. Instead of using Intel or AMD CPU, it seems like they much prefer to ARM CPU, due to very much efficient power consumption. The graphic processor will be powered by Nvidia Tegra. The Google Chrome OS netbook will supposedly tote a 10.1-inch TFT HD-ready multi-touch display, a 64GB SSD, 2GB of RAM, USB ports, a webcam, a multi-card reader, a 3.5mm audio jack, as well as Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivity.

The netbook is expected to hit shelves in the holiday season of 2010, and will ship with various Google apps preinstalled, such as Google Map, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Search by Voice.

After several decades and several released version of Windows Mobile OS, Microsoft still fail to convince public that their OS are the best. or at least reach higher stability and performance, not like their Windows OS (slumpy). Until up to WM6, they still run them self in their own chaotic vision, and we do hope that the new WM7 series will be deviated a lot. The new release of Windows Mobile 7 will incorporate touch, gesture recognition

According to the document upon which the new information on Windows Mobile touch/gesture-recognition is based — which Weinberg says dates back to summer 2007 — Microsoft will be incorporating touch and gesture recognition into its Windows Mobile 7 platform.

Weinberg’s synopsis:

“Windows Mobile 7 will use touch gestures, similar to how the iPhone does. You will be able to flick through lists, pan, swipe sideway, draw on the screen. A lot of emphasis has been put on making navigation easier and doing away with scrollbars, including a new scroll handle that allows for multiple ways of finding items extremely fast.

“Windows Mobile 7 will use motion gestures, something the iPhone does not. It will not use an intricate and complicated series of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Instead, it will use the camera on the phone to detect motions and create appropriate actions. You will be able to shake, twist and otherwise manipulate the phone and get things done. The phone will be able to perform actions when placed face down on a surface, and it will know when it is in your pocket or bag.”

What’s your take? How much of this new input technology will debut in Windows Mobile 7? And how much of it, if any, will also show up in Windows 7?

Isn’t this small room just amazing? It is very very tiny small but it looks very nice, and cute . I like the most lighting system of the room. It is created by some one who really cannot leave his PC alone and it seems like a good place to take a rest for a few hours before you could be burned by overheated from overclocking and super charges form Nvidia ION ceiling card.. Maybe it is not the best house in the world but for sure this kind of house deserves a headline like this one.

The first handsets running Windows Mobile version 6.5 got released recently and the major players to fight tooth and nail for supremacy on the market of Windows-based smartphones are HTC, LG and Samsung. What about Motorola? The company seems predominantly focused on developing Android-based cell phones and its first product, the Motorola DEXT (also known as the CLIQ in the US) is now available to consumers across the UK. We´ve just got information that many devoted windows mobile fans will certainly find disturbing. It goes that Motorola has no plans to manufacture cell phones based on Windows Mobile 6.5, despite earlier claims it would be involved in the development of devices running both operating systems.

The new information comes from Christy Wyatt with Motorola, who stated the company intended to wait for the next version of Windows Mobile before getting back to the market of handsets powered by the Microsoft-made OS. In other words, Motorola is waiting for the release of Windows Mobile 7.

The super-cute Lenovo IdeaPad S12 just earned the title of most powerful 12″ Netbook. Thanks to its NVIDIA ION chipset, the IdeaPad S12 can play 1080p HD content at full speed on its 12″ display or an HDTV (via HDMI). That erases one of the main critic regularly thrown at Netbooks: they can’t play video right. Most importantly, it can run recent games like Call of Duty 4 or the Sims 3 (and DX10 titles) at interactive speeds while these games don’t work at all on traditional Netbook graphics like Intel’s 945G.

Lenovo used NVIDIA ION’s revolutionary design to create a thin, lightweight, low-power laptop with a 12-inch screen and improved application compatibility. The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 has the graphics horsepower to support high definition media and many PC games which will not run on most low-cost small PCs. NVIDIA ION enables these capabilities with the industry’s best graphics performance for low-power CPUs.

“NVIDIA ION is one of the latest technologies available for the PC industry for small, low cost laptop PCs, and we’re excited to be among the first to use it,” said Stephen DiFranco, vice president and general manager of consumer and commercial channels, Americas Group, Lenovo. “With its 12-inch display, full-size keyboard and rich multimedia options powered by ION, the IdeaPad S12 balances an improved computing experience along with the size and affordability many consumers are looking for today.”

“The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 with NVIDIA ION graphics is a game changer for the industry,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the GPU business unit at NVIDIA. “It’s a powerful testament to what a small PC can do if it’s optimized with ION. The thin and affordable S12 does everything you expect a PC to do including watching movies, playing games, flipping through vacation pictures or editing family videos.”

NVIDIA ION graphics support:
All versions of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7
Outstanding HD video including 1080p and Blu-ray movies
Stunning HD video through an external monitor via HDMI
Popular games including Spore and Battlefield Heroes
DirectX 10 graphics with advanced digital display connectivity
Accelerated video enhancement and conversion using NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology
