BlackBerry Co-CEO's replaced

2012-01-22T22:51:00.000-08:00

Co-CEO's Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis have stepped down and will be replaced with Thorsten Heins. This is after Blackberry has struggled to compete with iOS iphones and Android Phones. In my opinion this maybe the nail in the coffin for Blackberry as they will eventually go down or get acquired by someone else.

Eye-Fi not too happy with the SD association

2012-01-21T23:49:00.000-08:00

Yuval Koren CEO of Eye-Fi is not happy that the SD Association created a Wireless LAN SD standard that is eearily similar to Eye-Fi. Basically SD Association created a standard to turn SD cards in to wifi SD cards. Eye-Fi patented this technology so they are not too pleased by this. Here is the full statement from Yuval Korean here

The SDA's iSDIO specification and standards process

Several years ago, Eye-Fi's founding team realized that capturing photos or video is just the beginning, and that in an increasingly connected world, the true magic is in sharing.

We invested tens of millions of dollars and several years to create unique technology that lets people wirelessly transfer photos and videos directly from their camera and mobile devices.

Last week, the SD Association (SDA) announced that a draft Wireless LAN specification had been adopted as a new standard. This was a flat out misrepresentation. As a matter of fact, under the SDA's own rules, this was not possible. SDA members – and we are one – are allowed 60 days in which to respond with claims to patented intellectual property and plans around licensing that IP to the SDA. Should essential IP be presented during this process, and not offered for license, the SDA should revise the specification and begin the review cycle again. After this process, the SDA Executive Members have to vote on adopting the specification.

Not only has the membership's intellectual property disclosure window not closed, the Executive Members have also yet to vote on its adoption.

When we protested the action, the SDA's executive director replied "the SD Association has often made announcements during the IP Review Period because once this phase of the process has been achieved the only thing that could possibly change is the licensing and not the technical details."

This week, still in advance of the SDA-provided deadline, we disclosed our patented intellectual property to the SDA, detailing multiple Eye-Fi patents essential to the current SDA draft specification.

There is a process for the establishment of this kind of specification, and that process wasn't respected. Any company trying to claim that it is the first to adopt this specification is taking on the mantle of a standard that doesn't exist.

Currently, 10 top camera manufacturers work with us as part of the Eye-Fi connected program; dozens of leading photo-related sites connect to our service. It's through these longstanding relationships that we've become the center of wireless connectivity among consumers, camera makers and photo-related sites.

The intellectual property at the core of this digital imaging revolution is our business. It's what Eye-Fi is. And as currently written, essential Eye-Fi patented technology would be violated by anyone implementing this draft specification.

We respect the process as established by the SDA and we call upon the SDA to do the same.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus maybe the best Smarphone on the planet. And now tech blog The-Gadgeteer has posted up a review of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Smartphone.

All in all, I like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus quite a bit. If I were in the market for an Android phone right now, it would be the one I would probably buy even though it lacks a microSD card and I would have to deal with the annoying lack of the USB mass storage feature. Except for those 2 things, I love the huge display, snappy performance and quick camera. It’s definitely the phone to have right now due to the latest version of the OS and pure Android goodness.

Hanvon C-18 Mirasol e-reader Hands-On

2012-01-13T09:56:00.000-08:00

Qualcomm unveiled its new C-18 Mirasol e-reader yesterday, and today, we managed to get our hands on it here at CES. Manufactured by Hanvon, this device is officially labeled as an e-reader, though to be honest, it felt more like a tablet to us. Unlike the lightweight Kindle, the C-18 felt a tad heavy in our hands, with backlighting more typical of a slate than reader. It also runs its own Android skin, which raises some interesting questions of how many Android apps it would support. The color Mirasol display certainly piqued our interests, though we'll have to wait a little bit longer before we get a closer look at it, as the C-18 won't hit the Chinese market until February, with no set date for a US launch yet (price remains equally opaque)

ExoPC Slate Windows 7 Tablet Review

2011-12-12T10:50:00.000-08:00

ExoPC is a Windows 7 Tablet that you compared to a Netbook with the built in Keyboard. Microsoft has not done a lot of advertising for Windows 7 Tablets so a lot of consumer s doesn’t know they even exist. On the other hand when Windows 8 launches then you will see a push by MS to sell Tablets featuring their latest OS. ExoPC in my opinion is the future but in the present. I also thought the OQO 02 was ahead of it's time but that company folded.

ExoPC features an 11.6" capacitive multi-Touch display with 1.66 GHz Atom processor, 2GB of Ram, and either 32 or 64GB of SSD. When released in 2010 the ExoPC had excellent specs but in present has been surpassed by Skytex S-Series Dual Core Atom and Samsung Slate 7 which features an i5 processor. Still the specs are more than enough to run Windows 8 Developers Edition.

ExoPC runs your standard Windows 7 OS where you can do everything your laptop does except for high end gaming. The ExoUI is a custom UI launcher that can run apps for Windows 7. ExoPC has its own app store but the amount of apps is a bit lacking.

Overall the ExoPC is the best value Windows 7 Tablet in the market today. All the other Tablets can cost you up to 1,000 and more. When Windows 8 for Tablets launch the ExoPC will still be one of the best choices for most as ARM Windows 8 is more limited than the x86 ExoPC. If you’re looking for the future of computing today then go and check out the ExoPC today.

Positives
Cheap price for Windows 7 Tablet
Build quality and design
Runs almost everything that a Netbook does
ExoUI is unique

Negatives
Screen is glossy and shows smudges
Not quite powerful enough
Auto-Rotate is slow
Ambient light sensor not very good (disable it if possible)

TheVerge - Asus Transformer Prime Review

2011-11-30T23:23:00.000-08:00

After the Engadget review now we see The Verge review from Joanna Stern. Check out Stern's full review HERE

The Prime is an incredible piece of hardware. It has a marvelous display, form factor, the best camera on any tablet yet, and it’s new quad-core internal organ puts more graphics and gaming power in your hands than you’ll know what to do with (quite literally in fact, until the games start appearing). And then there’s also the added keyboard dock that adds over 10 hours of battery life and really does transform the tablet into a highly-usable laptop.

But a true laptop replacement isn't about raw power; it's about the productivity that power enables, and Honeycomb just isn't up to the task. The operating system hasn't been optimized for that ridiculous processor or that beautiful display, the app selection remains pitiable at best, and it's just not that intuitive to use. Asus may have produced a brilliant piece of engineering at a price that's competitive with the iPad, but Android hasn't yet matched iOS when it comes to unlocking all that potential. Android 4.0 (or even Windows 8, which we expect to run on this very sort of hardware) might just rectify some of these issues, but one thing is for sure: the laptop of the post-PC world needs the software to match it.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime review by Engadget

2011-11-30T22:55:00.000-08:00

We all have been waiting for the Tranformer Prime to launch but while you wait you can read up on the device at Engadget. They have written a review of the Android Tablet. You can read the entire review HERE

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has had a long run as the top-tier Android tablet in the 10-inch size, but that position has now properly been usurped. The original Transformer was a very good tablet and it successor steps up another notch. The Transformer Prime is thinner and lighter than the rest and, with 32GB of storage available for a dollar under $500, it's a better deal than most of the top-tier contenders.

The dock, however, is a bit of a tougher sell. If you need crazy battery life on the road then it's definitely a good choice, even if you won't be relying on that cramped keyboard too often. In fact, the less you have to use that part the better, but it's still a perfectly usable way to enter URLs and it sure beats the pants off of any virtual, touchscreen text input method .

For the moment the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the best Android tablet on the market. All hail the new king.

Rumor Microsoft Office Coming to iPad

2011-11-29T20:58:00.000-08:00

Microsoft will bring a tablet-friendly version of Office to the iPad sometime in 2012, according to The Daily.

The Daily reports from unknown sources that Office will be available for both iPad and Mac OS X Lion in 2012. This makes sense since Microsoft is a software company and can make a lot of money selling a Tablet version of Office as well as a Mac OS X Lion version.
