Altek Leo: phone or camera?

If we told you that this device has 14 megapixel, 720p video recording, 3X optical zoom but it also has WiFi connection what do you think we would be describing? A camera or a mobile phone? Well, you do not have to guess, because both answers are correct.

This time Altek announced in style that it will release a smartphone with all these characteristics. The company has named Leo, and to our pleasant surprise this "phone" also comes programmed with Android.

We will not have to wait too long because it will be presented next month, yes Altek will do it for a bit distant lands for us. Singapore will be the first country to enjoy all the benefits of this Smartphone. Dates and prices still have not said anything, just ask us reach our money to buy it.

The Curious Case of Nexus One

These days I'm testing a Nexus One of Google. I do it more calmly than when we approached the company headquarters in Madrid and gave a first overview on video.

So, as I have the Nexus One a little more time, take advantage and if you ask to do over the phone, be free to ask questions in the comments.

In the early days with him you have some thoughts, but not without warning, if you did not know yet, this Nexus One of Vodafone will inevitably associated to the flat rate mobile Internet plus 15 euros per month, and is automatically activated when we put your SIM in Google. So if you had another lower-priced contract rate is something you should know.



Nexus One, a success for Vodafone and Google

Remove One to an operator Nexus has been the best thing Google could do with your phone. Trying to innovate with Internet sales is good but the market is not yet prepared. Moreover, subsidies in Spain are part of consumer DNA and mark strongly the possibility of having or not having a phone.

Indeed, the Vodafone exclusive could really call just plain brute force. What we really have done is buy all the stock of Nexus One until at least July. The move has left them both great companies, with Vodafone quickly placing all Nexus One

Sense HTC be the first face

HTC Sense is nice, but Android clean is best for me. Was accustomed to use in the Android Sense I've been trying but version 2.1 with Nexus One processor is a winning combination that I like. The only thing I hate is the subject of animated backgrounds, so remove them has been the first thing I did.

Then I have been installing applications on my phone I bring Android, but it is a task that I repeat every time I change phone. And Google should think seriously how we can have some automatic backups (beyond those that already have on our profile) to enable us to connect the phone with Android to a computer and take our last phone status. Or that everything is done via the web, since both the cloud like Google.

These early days with the Nexus One can not stop looking askance if you make a trip to Google headquarters and awakens one morning with Froy inside.

Now more seriously, we'll see if Google finally opt continuously reward the owners of their phones with a unique Android updates in time compared to models from other brands, which seek to differentiate the upper layers.

Maybe more of a buyer is decided by the Nexus One for this reason. If so, you can confess to me, would understand.

It is difficult to put the Dell Streak in a category of gadget. It's a phone but with 5-inch screen. In that regard we are surpris ed that the thickness will be only 10 mm, and the finish seems to be very good.

The best of the Streak is that Dell is the first of all models that the American company plans to offer the market with just a few inches of difference between team and covering a very wide range. HTC and other manufacturers who are now working on Android have a good opponent now.

* Removable battery.

Broadly speaking we see that offers virtually the same as a smartphone with the bonus of gaining an inch on the screen.

At the operating system will come with Android, and from Dell ensures that this year will have version 2.2. For those who already have the fly behind the ear, yes that can access the Android Market on this Dell Streak, and will have support for Google Voice.

Google makes its way television: Google TV

Google did not want to miss the opportunity to position themselves almost the only container that was not present and announced Google TV.

If we have to define Google TV in a couple of words we can speak of Boxee style service combined with an adapter for the Chrome browser TV. But the reality is much more, and Google TV introduces interesting ideas to add value to the TV until he had never been. The culprit of this is Google but not Internet.


Google TV, a powerful way to access content

If you have used com Boxee systems, surely what is proposed in paragraph Google TV content sound familiar. Google offers a convenient interface to visualize where to access content on our TDT, our cable subscription and even the contents recorder.

To avoid the usual chaos of thousands of channels and sources have turned to their most powerful weapon: the searches. Thus, Google provides search TV and web surfing while watching television content via PiP, real-time data via the Internet.

Google TV highlights what many have assumed: the content, but no matter where the content. And now Google helps us to look, what succeeds in bringing Internet content to the end where we were going to consume TV. And so interesting extras such as subtitles for all the contents of the hands of Google, or Youtube optimized for viewing on televisions.

To emphasize the integration of Google TV Site on the TV using Google Chrome, which until now had not been achieved by any manufacturer. Android in his heart and integration with the computer and Android phones.

The basis of the form Android Google TV, Google Chrome and Flash 10.1. The possibilities are as endless, and so far we have seen that we can use the phone with Android (one or more, farewell to the fight for the remote control) to control aspects of Google TV.

For example we can use voice search on the phone with Android to find content on the TV. Or even something more surprising: that we spend watching a video on the phone to the TV screen. Everything, of course, connected with our Google account.

When available Android Market store in Chrome, we can install applications from your computer. And will Google Android Market on TV, with many applications running on it. I already imagine a game on TV that you control with your mobile phone.

Availability of Google TV

The bad news of all that surrounds Google TV, in addition to what the company will be integrated in our lives, its launch will be delayed until later this year and will be available only in the U.S. at launch. After all the content network which gives much meaning to Google TV is active only there.

On the devices that we will, Sony will integrate Google TV on their televisions and Blu-Ray, while Logitech is preparing a media center to put on any TV, which, together with a special keyboard and mouse.

TV + Skype = Panasonic Viera Cast

As demand to see the various web content on a larger panatalla is increasing, Panasonic this week launched its new line Panasonic Viera Cast. Televisions whose main attraction is its wireless HD connectivity and Skype.

Panasonic What we propose with this new release is that we can enjoy all the content they manage as photos, videos and information directly from the Internet to our Viera enjoying complete comfort.
Change tv mode Internet browsing is as easy as pushing a button on the remote control, so that the TV screen displayed an intuitive menu access to the network. Thinking about the user preferences in the menu Panasonic offers direct access to Youtube, Picasa Web, among others.

Apple improves its most basic Macbook

As had been rumored (Apple seems to not have your year to keep secrets), a new and improved basic Macbook, the white plastic casing, has been published in the last minute.

The new Apple Macbook still bet on the new Intel i3 or i5 and stays in the Core 2 Duo, but with a better chip to 2.4 GHz, which is the only option within the standard range. The move to Intel's latest processors continue to be required to accept the name because of the Macbook Pro, and a higher price.


Improved graphics and autonomy, including price rise

Just the price is what has risen in the new model of Macbook. It does up to 100 euros, leaving in 979 euros, still below the psychological barrier of $ 1,000 but just barely.

Despite improved equipment, the price increase is not understood much. We can not think of the appreciation of the dollar as a reason for the change inconsistent in the price of Apple products in Spain as part of the U.S. is justified precisely to ensure the gain despite wide fluctuations in currency.

Of the new specifications for plastic Macbook should include the NVIDIA GeForce 320M and increasing the battery life up to an incredible 10 hours. At independence, the range of Apple notebooks still have significant advantages over many of its rivals.

The new Casio EX-Z350 model

Casio thought of those who like it simple, without major complications or unknown functions model comes as part EX-Z350 Exilim Zoom line Casio Z-series. The main advantages of this camera is its 12.1 megapixel, 4x zoom and 2.7-inch screen.

This model comes to market unpretentious, nothing but the mere fact of taking photos. Perhaps the only thing that presumably are its 23 scene modes, fully automatic function which enables you to recognize faces, or how youtube, designed exclusively provide you with the task of uploading your videos to this popular network service.
As to the technical specifications beyond the above we can add for example that your screen is smaller than the previous version to it, but despite that offers a focal range of 27-108mm. The view is very attractive, in five colors to choose one according to your personality.
For the price not think we should worry a lot and while Casio has not yet an official figure for the above characteristics doubt very much that dare to put an exorbitant sum.

Samsung H03

With a design something different from what we see acostombrados Samsung presents the H03, a picoproyector with which the brand seeks to bring our presentations in the pocket.

Unlike at least in regard to the design, as Samsung provides an elegant model with square format, type safe, unlike other brands like Optoma PK with the 102 or 3M MPRO 150, which pushed for more similar designs a mobile, perhaps more comfortable to wear.

But whether we like this design more or less what is clear is that is designed to carry around, hence its 170 grams.

Given the characteristics we find a product with a brightness of 30 ANSI lumens, includes a rechargeable battery that offers a range of two hours and a microSD card slot (comes with a 1GB card). It also has miniUSB port, VGA and audio output, but also features integrated speakers with 1W of power.

Samsung says nothing however about the ability of projector read documents independently, something important in this type of product, but if we consider that incorporates an internal memory would be logical that the files could do with more typical, as Office documents or Adobe PDF.

According to Samsung the picoproyector is available in Spain today at a price that is not too bad, 250 euros.

T730 Fujitsu, Fujitsu's new bid by traditional tablets

Who says traditional tablets are dead? Fujitsu least they do not, and a good example of this is the tablet, the lifetime just introduced.

Fujitsu is the T730, a new model with 12.1-inch LED display (WXGA), Intel Core processors and i5 as main complaints.

In the standard model, we find a i5-520M processor at 2.4 GHz, Windows 7 Professional, Intel Graphics HD, 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB hard drive, but as usual, the settings are usually quite large .

Then we can choose between a Core i7 processors up to 2.66 GHz, 620M, have up to 8 GB of RAM or opt for a capacitive screen, if you need and can afford it. Obviously, the hard drive is another component that we may change, being able to choose, and most expensive option for a solid disk of 128 GB SSD.

All models also feature Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth, fingerprint reader, modular DVD drive, HDMI connection and a main battery of six cells, which promise up to 5 hours of battery life per charge.

The basic model, so if we seem a bit pricey, if we consider that costs $ 1,870, about 1520 euros to be kind to the change, a price that will hardly succeed given the current options.
