Motorola Backflip review: more fashional, functional and attractive  panpan 02:16:34 |
| |
This was a complete surprise, but AT&T made it official in February and introduced the Motorola Backflip as its first Google Android device. The Backflip made its grand debut at CES 2010, where we awarded the smartphones category for its unique design, which includes a rear-facing QWERTY keyboard and a trackpad behind the display. Unfortunately, after now spending some time with the device, this seems to be the only real highlight of the phone. The Backflip suffers from performance issues and runs Android 1.5, making it a rather disappointing Android debut for AT&T. Now we have a close look for this model and find what the main characters of it are!
[img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/motorola-converter/motorola-backflip.jpg[/img]
Design
The Motorola Backflip is powerful, handsome and fast. It comes with a manual keyboard and a great screen and is still only 15.3 millimeters (.6 inches) thick. They put the manual keyboard on the back side of the reverse flip. It opens like a book with the keyboard on the back being exposed at all times. The screen is also a big part of the Motorola Backflip, of course. It has a capacitive touch screen that comes in at 3.1 inches. This is an average size for a screen on a smartphone now. The physical resolution of the display is 320 by 480 or HVGA. It is not the AMOLED style. It still uses the TFT LCD style that can chew up battery time a little quicker than the AMOLED. The Backflip does come with an accelerometer to change the mode of the screen from portrait to landscape and back again automatically. This is handy for texting and for viewing web pages.
Connectives
Inside the same processor as in the CLIQ runs Android 1.5 complete with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR social networking integration. There’s triband 7.2Mbps WCDMA (850/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE, along with WiFi b/g and Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage is via microSD, with a 2GB card in the box and up to 32GB supported.
Software
Similar to the Cliq and the Motorola Devour, the Backflip uses Motoblur software, which helps merge contact information from various e-mail accounts and social networking sites, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Exchange, Twitter, and Picasa, into a master list. In addition, e-mails (aside from Gmail) are combined into a universal in-box and appointments are also combined into one calendar.
Multimedia
One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2.0 is the built-in media player. You still get support for MP3, AAC, H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, WAV, MIDI, and AAC+ etc formats and support video playback. Music quality was quite good. Thanks to the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, we plugged in our Bose On-ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding songs. Unfortunately, the Motorola Backflip does not support DivX and Xvid files, but at least H.264 videos with resolution of 320x480 pixels played without any issues.
But if I don’t have mp4 files, what should I do? I search this question on Google and I have good software [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/motorola-video-converter.html]Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter[/url] which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats such as convert AVI to MP4, MP3 to WAV, WMV to MPEG, MOV to AAC, etc. We could convert our files to mp4 format through using this software.
Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/motorola-video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
[img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/motorola-converter/motorola-video-converter-1.jpg[/img]
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which MOTO phone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Camera
The camera is a five megapixel model with LED flash, autofocus, geotagging and video. The Backflip can record at 25 frames per second in the MP4 (MPEG-4) format. This is nothing to write home about but is acceptable.
Battery life
The Backflip ships with a 1400mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated talk time of 6 hours and up to 13.5 days of standby time. We are still conducting our battery drain tests but will update this section as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the Backflip has a digital SAR rating of 1.37 watts per kilogram.
Conclusion
Although in some hardware, MOTOROLA Backfip does not calculate very prominent, but in the fuselage on modeling and the system optimization, Motorola deserves credit for trying an innovative design and for offering a unique way of moving fingers off of the touch screen. But the Android machine, how to compare common problems homogeneity let a person shine at the moment, is the most difficult problem. The manufacturers can back flip smartphone also succeeded half and the other half, still need to test by customer.

| How to play Video and DVD on your HTC phone: HTC Shadow, Touch HD2, Diamond, Hero, etc panpan 08:19:17 |
| | Numerous friends play attention of phone may have noticed, in 2008 and 2009, the Android system has been taken customers welcome - G1, G2 and G3 is well known. At this time, except for the HTC, that many manufacturers is holding wait-and-see attitude. But, after a period of precipitation and accumulation, many firms take the Android market prospect is good and rapidly launched many new phones, just taken the Android system. Even once the eldest brother - MOTOROLA also issued a high-end machine, which prove the Android system has a large influence in the users and manufacturers. So, if you are a mobile phone user or senior players, or to change to try new things, then the HTC mobile phone is a best choice for you. Now I have narrowed down my choices to HTC HD2 and HTC Touch2 which two of the most popular Android mobile phones.
HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 are two of the latest touch screen mobiles from HTC, one of the leading manufactures of innovative and stylish mobiles. Both of these handsets come with some useful and innovative applications that can be best suitable for businessmen and professionals.
Design Features
(A) HTC Touch2 is resistive touchscreen and HTC HD2 is capacitive touchscreen mobile. But both are projected very high resolution images with support of 65K colors. While the HTC Touch2 comes with 2.8 inches screen with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, the HTC HD2 comes with large 4.3 inches screen with a tremendous resolution of 800 by 480 pixels.
(B) The Touch optimized zoom bar and Touch FLO navigation are the highlights of HTC Touch2. On the other hand, HTC HD2 has accelerometer sensor for auto- rotate, proximity sensor for auto turn-off, ambient light sensor and pick-to-mute a call. Moreover, with a UI as heavy on the visuals and touch interaction as the Sense Experience, you expect a lot from a screen, and the HD2 certainly delivers.
Connectivity Options
1 Both of these handsets with 2G and 3G networking capability ensures wide connectivity options for the users. HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 have integrated Microsoft Mobile application support and HTC Touch2 is powered by QUALCOMM 528 MHz microprocessor and HTC HD2 has 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
2 The best features included in both these mobiles are 3.5mm audio output jack and GPS navigation facility with A-GPS, which helps the travelers to get all the required information of the locations whenever they require.
Camera Features and Multimedia
HTC Touch2 comes with 3.2 MP camera supported by Fixed Focus, Camera Setting and video recording capabilities. On the contrary, HD2 brings along the camera—a decent 5-megapixel number with a blinding flash and VGA video capabilities—wakes up as fast as you can point its lens, and tapping the home button, no matter how many apps you've got toiling in the background, always results in a satisfyingly clean and snappy return to HTC's ostentatious homescreen.
For providing entertainment to the users HTC Touch2 incorporates music player and video player supporting MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV, AAC+, eAAC & WMA music files and MPEG4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, M4V & AVI video files. Whereas HTC HD2 also has a video player which supports MP4, 3GP, AVI, etc and allows playing music in MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AAC+ file formats on its music player. If you don’t have MP4 file or MP3 files, you may try http://www.nidesoft.com/htc-video-converter.html which is the first and best video converter for HTC mobile phone Android system. It is professionally designed to help you convert video to HTC formats: MP4, AVI, WMV, H.264, MP3, etc.. With the HTC converter tool, you could play and enjoy movies on your HTC phone any where and any time. As follow is process.
First, http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/htc-video-converter.exe and install this software!
Step 1: Launch the program and Click "Add File" button to load source video files to be converted
Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “HTC Android MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start to convert video format.
After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your HTC mobile and enjoy your newly created video. Another http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html could rip DVD movies to most popular formats easily and quickly, such as: Rip DVD to MP4, 3GP, iPod/PSP/Zune, MOV, WMV, AVI, etc which HTC mobile phone supports formats. So these tow software is a good assistant for HTC mobile user! In addition, HTC HD2 also embeds FM Radio with RDS while its rival is missing it
Other Attributes
Both of these phones incorporate 512 MB ROM and card slot option besides, Touch2 carries 256 MB RAM while Touch HD2 carries 488 MB RAM. Moreover, GPS with A-GPS support and Pocket Office feature are commonly available on both of these. Exception this, HTC HD2 also adds HTC Peep and HTC Footprints function!
In the end, I make up my decision. The HTC HD2 made the most sense to me as media player and business assistant. But as I’ve noted the HTC Touch2 was also pretty impressive and could be a viable option for many others. In the future, hope the phone manufactures can continually launch better mobile models, and then eventually benefit will belong to our consumers.

Today is for everyone to collect three typical phones of the Android phone system, if you are focused on a new system, so might as well see below, which can allure you?
Sony Ericsson's Android-Based Xperia X3
Relative to the Sony Ericsson X2, we pay more attention to the next paragraph - Sony Ericsson Smartphone X3 first using Android system smart phone in Sony Ericsson group. At times, we finally got similar official news, this high hardware configuration Smartphone will officially released in November this year.
According to unconfirmed reports, this Smartphone will have a tablet shape dominated by a 4-inch, 800-by-400-pixel touch screen. It will reportedly run the Android OS on a 1 GHz processor Snapdragon processor. Rather than use Google's standard user interface, Sony Ericsson has created a proprietary one for this device that emphasizes social networking (see here). One of the highlights of the X3 will apparently be its 8 megapixel camera with flash and support for VGA (640 x 480 pixels) video recording at 30 fps. This will offer face and smile detection, as well as image stabilization. It will allegedly be a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM phone with dual-band (900/2100) 3G: 10 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA. Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi g will also be included. In addition, it comes with built in music player. This music player is expected to be simple to use and manage. The music files can be traced according to the name of the song, album, artist or genre. As no proper information is available on the equalizer, we have to wait and watch what the sound control feature would be like. The music player is capable of playing music files based on MP3, AAC and e-AAC+ formats. Music can be enjoyed with wireless stereo Bluetooth also.
Samsung Galaxy I7500
Samsung's new i7500 Galaxy makes it the first manufacturer after HTC to enter the Android game and it does so with a fairly feature-rich phone. The Samsung i7500 fuselage, using only 11.9 millimeters thickness of design, equipped with a straight HVGA 3.2-inch 480 x 320 level of resolution touchscreen, built-in 500 pixel camera support autofocus, equipped with LED flashlight and using the high MSM7200A CPU, 8G memory.
The Samsung i7500 interface is pretty much the standard Android 1.5 OS platform, with very little in the way of customization. It equipped with 350 mm stereo headphone jacks, battery capacity for 1500mAh, support the global positioning system (GPS), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and all services, including Google search, Google maps, Gmail, Google calendar, YouTube and integrated GPS function of Google Talk. The video player on the Samsung i7500 Galaxy is of decent quality, while not bringing extra functionality (much like the music player). Videos are organized the same way as pictures in the gallery, and the default view makes it hard to search for the video you're looking for. However, there's also a dedicated video viewer as well, with the videos listed by name. It support with video format: MPEG4, h. 263, h.264 and audio formats: MP3, WMV, AAC, AAC +, e AAC +, WMA, RA.
Motorola DROID
As time approaches, the “Driod” on the operators of Verizon Wireless official web page will be officially released in the near future. But recently, it was announced that Motorola Sholes will launch with the newest Android2.0 system, for this machine attracting more attention.
The screen on the DROID is a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen -- a full glass display with a WVGA resolution clocking in at a handsome 480 x 854 full QWERTY keyboard. The DROID will be launched by the introduction of dedicated, support and 1XEV CDMA2000 1X CDMA network - A blinding Rev, this also makes this phone become the first CDMA mobile phone of carrying Android system. And it supports A-GPS navigation, Wi-Fi, USB2.0, E-mail, HTML web browsing and send out Google services, etc. Meanwhile This phone will be equipped with 3.5 millimeter earphone interface and stereo headset function, packing a 550MHz OMAP3 CPU, dedicated graphics processor, 512MB of ROM, 256 of RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, a digital compass, and accelerometer. Another, Motorola has smartly outfitted the DROID with a 5 megapixel camera coupled with an LED flash. Video, on the other hand, was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. The DROID is capable of shooting at a 720 x 480 resolution, will support AMR-NB/WB, MP3, PCM/WAV, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA and mpeg-4, H263 H264, video files, WMV formats.

| iPhone killer? - BlackBerry Storm released: Enjoy your DVD and Video with it! panpan 08:49:53 |
| | There is no doubt that the iPhone has changed the smartphone world and forced cellphone manufacturers to sit back and rethink how they create new devices and features and how they can compete. Nokia recently announced a very compelling entertainment-focused iPhone rival and Blackberry will launches an stronger competitor - BlackBerry Storm. With the nearby publishmet of BlackBerry Storm a new phone war is approaching. Could BlackBerry Storm be an Apple iPhone killer? And who will win in this battle, the Apple iPhone 3G or the BlackBerry Storm?
Screen
The BlackBerry Storm features a high-resolution 360 x 480 touchscreen, which gives it a 4:3 aspect ratio akin to older TVs, versus the iPhone 3G's 320 x 480 touchscreen which is a 3:2 ratio. Not much to choose between the two, though.

| Android or Windows Mobile: which is smarter to enjoy DVD and Video on your LG phone? panpan 08:07:52 |
| | With the competition of mobile market becoming more and more intense, most of big mobile phone companies constantly introduce new products. After Motorola’s Droid, Sony Ericsson's Xperia X3 and Samsung Galaxy I7500, LG Company finally announced its first Android mobile phone – GW620 and the GM730e using the latest Windows Mobile operating system. This GW620 mobile phone has been launched in Canada, and renamed LG Eve. Basically an evolution of LG's QWERTY messaging phones, the GW620 looks a little bit like a slimmed down version of Motorola's Dext phone, with similar functionality too. Compare with other smart phones, the GM730e with six lively and lovely intelligent elves will be formally listed. So the netizens are full curious with the six cute "elves" and expectative in this LG GM730e coming. Now I have a simple summary about them. Hope it could provide some useful information to LG mobile lovers.
GW620
The phone is slim to hold in the hand, with a full slide out QWERTY keyboard. A 5MP camera sits on the back (with single LED flash), with the unit coming in with dimensions of 106 x 55 x 12 mm and 3-inch screen. Behind the slide out section, there's an opening for a microSD card, and the up/down rocker switch too, with the microUSB and camera shutter buttons hidden around the edge for good measure too. It fits nicely in the hand when in portrait mode - but the bad news is the screen is only resistive, meaning that scrolling and tapping our way through was a lot less intuitive that other Android phones.
Button wise - with a menu, back and terminate button the only options to play with. The interface is an odd fusion between LG's S-Class and the vanilla Android system. The same S-Class options are employed on the front home screen as well - instead of scrolling left and right to access new screens, you now get that 'spinning' cube interface for each new set of icons, which is a little cumbersome. Another nice touch is the presence of Facebook and Twitter baked right into the handset - send messages from your social networks right from the phone, something that's becoming increasingly popular on today's handsets (especially those based on Android).
Media is laid out in a similar way to Motorola's Dext phone as well - in fact it's identical, so we're wondering if this is some kind of interface buried deep within Android that only Motorola and LG have managed to unearth.
GM730e
GM 730e unlike traditional smart phone inflexible and complicated, it is more convenient and interesting. But bringing this revolutionary change lies in its S-Class 3D user interface of LG originate. Its relationship with Windows Mobile operating system is equivalent to the "skin" and "muscles". With the help of S-Class 3D interface, the function of Windows Mobile operating system is strong and optimization, even without any operating experience of the users can quickly learn to use. Easily dissolve the problem like the initial users "I don't know how to delete the messages".
As a revolutionary product, GM730e appearance is so stylized and conspicuous. Its fuselage size is 109.8 x 56.5 x 11.9 mm, airframe small and thin, extremely fashionable feeling. 3 inches WQVGA resolution (240 * 400 pixels) screen, giving users’ larger space, while LG also increased S-Class 3D interface Windows Mobile system menu name, promoted the accuracy of the fingers. In order to allow users to feel better convenience of GM730e experience and let S-Class 3D interface with Windows Mobile fusion more perfect, LG for GM730e made excellent hardware platform, the central processor of 528 MHZ supports accelerated 3D graphics functions, not only make 3D interface more fluent, but also maintain the speed of multitasking quick reaction. Windows Mobile system itself entertainment function is strong enough, but GM730e also equipped with 500 million pixels and high-definition camera, support auto-focus and shooting night function etc. It also provides GPS navigation software, built-in national maps and various kinds of travel interest, bringing convenient and reliable positioning navigation and experience for customers.
Both are good mobile phone. In this era of music and movie popular, people not only care phone’s hardware, but also has more attention on its multimedia function. Both new LG phones have a 5MP camera to be able to shoot video! It supports single LED flash, auto-focus, auto-white balance and auto-exposure, build-in media player. But they are different in supporting video and audio formats. GW620, support video format: WMVMPEG4H.264ASF and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3AACWMAWAV, etc. And GM730e, support video format: MP4WMV and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3AACAAC+E-AAC+AMRWMA and WAV, etc. If you haven’t MP4 or WMV videos on your computer, you may use http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-lg-converter.html to convert DVD files into LG compatible formats or use http://www.nidesoft.com/lg-video-converter.html to convert all other video files into LG, just follow the step by step guide.

Step 2: Click the “Format” drop-down list to select the right format for your Sony player.
Step 3: Click the “Convert” button and start the conversion. The conversion will be finished in a short time and then you may enjoy videos.
In addition to the above model, both software could also support various types of LG phones such as: LG KP500, LG GT540, LG KF740, LG GD510, and LG GD510, LG KC910,etc. It is not hard to think that both are essential auxiliary software to LG mobile phone users.
With the development of technology, these mobile phone hardware and software developed quickly. It's important that Android is to go from geeky to mainstream. This has greatly improved our life.

| How to play Video and DVD on your HTC phone: HTC Shadow, Touch HD2, Diamond, Hero, etc panpan 08:06:38 |
| | Numerous friends play attention of phone may have noticed, in 2008 and 2009, the Android system has been taken customers welcome - G1, G2 and G3 is well known. At this time, except for the HTC, that many manufacturers is holding wait-and-see attitude.

So, if you are a mobile phone user or senior players, or to change to try new things, then the HTC mobile phone is a best choice for you. Now I have narrowed down my choices to HTC HD2 and HTC Touch2 which two of the most popular Android mobile phones.
HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 are two of the latest touch screen mobiles from HTC, one of the leading manufactures of innovative and stylish mobiles. Both of these handsets come with some useful and innovative applications that can be best suitable for businessmen and professionals.
Design Features

While the HTC Touch2 comes with 2.8 inches screen with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, the HTC HD2 comes with large 4.3 inches screen with a tremendous resolution of 800 by 480 pixels.

On the other hand, HTC HD2 has accelerometer sensor for auto- rotate, proximity sensor for auto turn-off, ambient light sensor and pick-to-mute a call. Moreover, with a UI as heavy on the visuals and touch interaction as the Sense Experience, you expect a lot from a screen, and the HD2 certainly delivers.

Camera Features and Multimedia
HTC Touch2 comes with 3.2 MP camera supported by Fixed Focus, Camera Setting and video recording capabilities. On the contrary, HD2 brings along the camera—a decent 5-megapixel number with a blinding flash and VGA video capabilities—wakes up as fast as you can point its lens, and tapping the home button, no matter how many apps you've got toiling in the background, always results in a satisfyingly clean and snappy return to HTC's ostentatious homescreen.
For providing entertainment to the users HTC Touch2 incorporates music player and video player supporting MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV, AAC+, eAAC & WMA music files and MPEG4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, M4V & AVI video files. Whereas HTC HD2 also has a video player which supports MP4, 3GP, AVI, etc and allows playing music in MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AAC+ file formats on its music player. If you don’t have MP4 file or MP3 files, you may try http://www.nidesoft.com/htc-video-converter.html which is the first and best video converter for HTC mobile phone Android system. It is professionally designed to help you convert video to HTC formats: MP4, AVI, WMV, H.264, MP3, etc..

| MOTO milestone review: how to enjoy dvd and video with your mobile phone panpan 10:15:28 |
| |
In 2008, the MOTO Company has said, foreign markets development center will turn Android operating system. Since then, the development of Gphone industry will focus on MOTO For a long time, the MOTO users has been looked forward to its new product, until the Droid (BBS, offer, picture, and parameter) published, just let everyone believed MOTO - with Android operating system the return of the king. So, Motorola are back with a bang and the MILESTONE is one of the best spec’s phones to ever run Android
Display
This is one of the thinnest landscape-sliding QWERTY devices available on the market. Its overall footprint is similar to the iPhone 3GS, except for the fact that it’s slightly thicker (13.7mm) because of the inclusion of the physical QWERTY. It is rather big (116 x 60 x 13.7mm) and heavy (169g). In addition, it is the first Android phone to sport a 3.7” TFT touch screen at 480 x 854 with support for up to 16 million colors. Flipping it over to its back, it has the 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash towards the upper portion while the external speaker grid is lined up towards the bottom. When removing the metal back cover, the battery and microSD card slot will be exposed.
Battery
According to the manufacturer, the battery of the Motorola MILESTONE should be able to provide 6.5hrs of continuous talk time and keep the device operational for 350hrs in standby.
Interface
MOTOROLA Milestone is the first to have the latest build of Android – version 2.0 and has been taken several improvements than old version. Firstly, the system interface visual effect is more outstanding. Some ICONS on the edge design beautification and whole feels more clean and neat. One thing we found useful quite often was the Google Search function to accomplish a mix of operations. You can execute the search by holding down the dedicated touch sensitive button – which will then prompt you to speak. Although no built-in MOTO Blur interface, but the MOTOROLA Milestone is been introduced double-click zoom function. In our web, you just can zoom via double taps; the current web page can be realized zoom. It is not only convenient browse, but in operation tiny hyperlinks function is also help.
Connectivity
The Motorola MILESTONE is a quad band GSM with dual band 3G (900/2100MHz) that allows for fast, wireless internet connectivity on networks across Europe and Asia. Naturally, you can use the Wi-Fi anytime if there is a hotspot nearby. Motorola has promised support for Flash 10 in the first half of 2010, but until then you will have to put up with the fact you simply cannot relish the full beauty of the Internet. The HTC Hero has the advantage of being able to visualize Flash elements, but scrolling is more sluggish on the overall. All told, the Motorola MILESTONE is equipped with one of the best web browsers on Android handsets today.
Camera
The 5-megapixel camera takes pictures in three resolutions and boasts a slick user interface. Fortunately, Android fixes that problem by adding four white balance settings, several "scene" modes (night, landscape, sunset, and so on), three image quality choices, an autofocus, a macro setting, and seven color effects. The Droid also has a dual-LED flash.
Camcorder settings are fewer, but you can edit the video quality and the length allowed for each clip. You can film for 30 seconds if you're adding the video to a multimedia message, but you can go for up to 30 minutes in normal mode. Video quality is actually fairly good--it could handle action better than its Android counterparts and there was little pixelation. Indeed, a closer look at the specs told us why. Not only do videos record at a 720 x 480 resolution, the Droid films at 24 frames per second (fps) (video playback can go up to 30fps).
Multimedia
One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2.0 is the built-in media player. There aren't any major enhancements to the player in terms of interface or functionality, which is too bad. You still get support for MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI, and Windows Media Audio 9 formats and the player includes shuffle, repeat, and playlist creation. As it is right now, you have to use the old drag-and-drop method using the USB cable or sideload them using a microSD card.
Music quality was quite good. Thanks to the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, we plugged in our Bose On-ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding songs. Unfortunately, the Motorola MILESTONE does not support DivX and Xvid files, but at least H.264 videos with resolution of 720x306 pixels played without any issues.
But if I don’t have mp4 files, what should I do? I search this question on Google and I have a good software [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html]Nidesoft Video Converter[/url] which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats such as convert AVI to MP4, MP3 to WAV, WMV to MPEG, MOV to AAC, etc. We could convert our files to mp4 format through using this software.
Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which MOTO phone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
Email, calendar, and contacts
The Droid now offers native Microsoft Exchange synchronization out of the box for email, calendar, and contacts, in addition to support for Gmail and POP3 and IMAP accounts. With Android 2.0, you can have messages from various accounts displayed in one unified in-box; messages are color-coded by account so you can visually differentiate them at a glance.
Unfortunately (well, depending on your preference), it doesn't appear that you can combine work and personal calendars as you can on the Palm Pre. Instead, you'll find separate apps for your corporate calendar and your personal one.
With the support for various accounts, contact management could get a bit dodgy, but the Droid offers a pretty smart contact management system. Similar to the Palm WebOS Synergy feature, the Droid merges contact information from various accounts, Exchange, Gmail, and Facebook, and combines them on a single contact card for an individual.
Android Market
You can download free and paid apps and games from the Android Market. The Market's interface received a much-needed upgrade with 1.6--we like the white background and the more intuitive search. Android 2.0 doesn't appear to offer any additional changes, which is fine in the short term. Of course, you must store apps on the handset's integrated memory, which is limited to 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM. The Droid's memory card slot is only for saving photos, music, and other attachment files. You get a 16GB card in the box, but the slot is compatible with cards up to 32GB.
Conclusion:
Hands down, the Motorola MILESTONE is one of the best smartphones on the market today. The build quality is great and the device sports awesome functionality, including capable browser and probably the best camera found on Android phones today. On the other hand, the MILESTONE is not exactly exemplary in terms of advanced software. All told, the Motorola MILESTONE is an excellent device that is one of the first steps in the comeback of the manufacturer. We hope to see more MOTO models based on the Android operating system; after all, MOTOROLA in Android market has brought us much surprise. |

| How to convert DVD and video to Blackberry Storm2, 9700 and many other formats panpan 08:19:38 |
| | For Blackberry lovers, this month is very exciting month. Research in Motion (RIM) is launching two new handset very soon - the Blackberry Strom and Blackberry Bold 9700 . Both are aimed at different markets and are very much improved over their predecessors. The Blackberry Storm 2 as we know is the second-generation Storm handset and comes with BBM 5.0 and an improved touch-sensitive screen, much better than the original Storm. And some of the features of the Blackberry 9700 are much the same as the Storm 2, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G support and Wi-Fi. The difference end there, as the Bold 2 is not a touch screen and is aimed at a different user, as the handset is more for business use. People can’t wait for them coming. Now, Verizon has confirmed that the Blackberry Storm 2 has been headed to the carrier on October 28th. But it is also a secret which date the Blackberry 9700 will be published. In this article I have summarized both of them devices’ features and what are their relative and essential programs.

That’s the simple information I have got about the two phones. In many other aspects, both have the same characteristics, for example, Device Security (Password protection, Screen lock, Sleep mode, Optional support for S/MIME), Wireless email, Organizer, Browser, and Notification etc.
For multimedia, Blackberry Phone is advanced media player for videos, music and pictures. Blackberry Strom2 supports video formats including MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV and audio formats including MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, WMA ProPlus, and so on. While Blackberry Bold 9700 supports video formats, such as, Divx 4, Divx 5/6, H.263, H.264, WMV3, MPEG4 and so on, and audio formats such as 3GP, MP3, WMA9,WMA9 Pro/WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, and so on . Meanwhile, I find the Blackberry could not support all of video or audio files such as AVI file, FLV file and so on. So I search this problem on the Google and find powerful software to let me enjoy wonderful experience with Blackberry Phone – Nidesoft Blackberry Video Converter. It could convert video and audio files to your Blackberry movie and music format. The source files formats that could be converted by this Blackberry Video Converter include: MPEG, VOB, MP4, M4V, WMV, ASF, AVI, 3GP, FLV, YouTube, etc. Additionally, you could use this Blackberry Converter to convert MOD to Blackberry video. To free download it here and have a try: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/blackberry-video-converter.exe
and you may get more information about it here: http://www.nidesoft.com/blackberry-video-converter.html
After download and install this software, you may get video into your Blackberry this way:
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Step 2: Click the “format” drop-down list to select the Blackberry format
Step 3: Click the “convert” button and start the conversion.
Ok, after the conversion finished, you may get the movies and music for your Blackberry.
Another, I know http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-blackberry-converter.html is an excellent Blackberry Video tool which could convert DVD to Blackberry video and music. If you want to enjoy your DVD with Blackberry, you may try it! It is easy to see these two software is the best assistants for Blackberry
Now, the Blackberry Strom has lunched on the market and the Blackberry Bold 9700 will be published soon. Both have been given considerable thought on the market. Minor changes having a major impact, give them little bit more standing in comparison to his predecessor and his current competitors. Under in this area, the mobile phone technology develops quickly and the mobile phone competition is more and more severe. As a blackberry lover, I hope they can take the good sales performance

| Palm vs. iPhone 3.0: which one would you want to get? panpan 08:18:12 |
| | Sprint, Palm Pre’s exclusive carrier announced that Palm Pre would be launched on June 6. Then this summer that’s the question many would-be-smart phone purchasers just might ask themselves. Both have their pros and cons. The iPhone has a huge profile and market presence, but the Pre has the old-school Palm faithful who have been waiting a long time for their Next Big Thing. The iPhone has massive channels and even Sprint admits they won’t be advertising the Palm Pre much due to low initial supply. But those most likely to want the Palm Pre already know it’s coming, where to get, and may well be reading this while already standing in line.
But what about the consumer on the edge? The consumer who has an older iPhone or Palm, or the one who’s about to move up from a feature phone for the first time. What about the dreaded “undecided”? This article is for them. Now let’s get it on.Display
IPhone: beautiful, large (3.5 inch diagonal), high-resolution (480x320 screen) multi-touch display.
Palm Pre: Beautiful, large (3.1 inch diagonal), high-resolution (480x320 screen). The screen is not as large as the iPhone (0.4 inch smaller) but this is balanced against other hardware features such as the removable battery and sliding keyboard further below.
Advantage: Tie
Keyboard
Palm Pre has a physical, hardware-based QWERTY keyboard while the iPhone has a virtual, software-based keyboard that can be QWERTY (or anything else).
For those who need to feel those keys, the Palm Pre is the obvious choice. However, the Pre’s keyboard is reportedly somewhere between a Treo Pro and a Palm Centro: softer, more gummy keys with a narrow width overall. It might not be to everyone’s liking. That said, at least the Pre has one, and it’s a slider to boot, which means if you don’t need it, you can just tuck it away back under the screen where it came from.
The iPhone, can draw any kind of keyboard it wants. So if you need to type occasionally (or often) in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, or most any language, you can easily switch between those exact keyboards. You can also automatically be presented with web-optimized, or video, audio — any task at all — specific keyboards.
The iPhone is an excellent touch screen phone, no doubt. But for heavy texters and e-mail addicts, the lack of a physical keyboard can be annoying. Now Palm Pre combined a touch screen and keyboard, pleasing both touch screen and keyboard fans. So Palm Pre wins.
Advantage: Palm Pre
Network
In the US — which is the only country with initial availability — Sprint has exclusive rights to the Palm Pre, much as AT&T has a lock on the iPhone. When you choose mobile phone, also make a choice between the carriers. There are two factors to consider:
1. AT&T is a GSM network, which means you can theoretically pop out your SIM card and put it in another mobile phone. It is great in emergencies, and if you travel and don’t want to deal with roaming charges. Sprint is CDMA, so any phone switches involves a call to your carrier at the very least.
2. Sprint doesn’t currently allow simultaneous voice and data. This means if you’re talking on the Palm Pre, you can’t use the web or email, and vice versa. If you’re using an iPhone on AT&T’s EDGE service, you’ll have the same problem, but if you’re on 3G, there are no worries at all. For the Palm Pre, you’d have to switch to Wi-Fi to do that.
Again, for me, using voice and data at the same time has become a must. Looking up information while out and about on a call is a frequent occurrence. If you’re not accustomed to it, you may not miss it, but once you are, it’s hard to go back.
Advantage: iPhone
Applications
Installing new applications on the iPhone is a complete joy. It’s ultra simple and quick – an absolutely superb experience than virtually nobody has matched today. With 15,000+ apps now available there is something here for everybody and although there is a lot of rubbish there are also many superb applications.
Palm has already confirmed that it will create a full App Catalog – one that will presumably have the same functionality and ease-of-use as Apple’s App Store. Though maybe there will not (initially at least) be as many apps available for the iPhone as for the Palm Pre.
Advantage: Tie
Multimedia
For Palm Pre, it offers a 3-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to snap any photos, but early reports say that the quality is pretty good. Disappointingly, the camera won't have video recording capabilities at this time, but those could be added in the future. In terms of music and movie, it is reported that the music sounds very beautiful, also the movie looks perfect with the 320*480 pixels screen. However Palm Pre can only play MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 videos and MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, QCELP, WAV audio files. What if you have large music or video collections you want to carry around with you on your mobile? I have got third part software to do this admire job: use http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-palm-converter.html to convert DVD collections into Palm Pre and http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html to convert video or music collections into Palm Pre.
As far as iPhone, there’s no doubt that iPhone is wonderful music mobile phone. Listening to music, viewing photos and watching movies/videos is just “something else” on the iPhone. IPhone can play MPEG-4 videos with resolution of 640 *480, up to 160 Kbps. Also it supports audio formats including AAC (16 to 320 kbps), MP3 (16 to 320 kbps), and WAV. With its beautiful 3.5-inch wide screen display and Multi-Touch controls, iPhone is an amazing iPod. Watch movies and TV shows in wide screen, iPhone brings you a video experience unlike any other portable device.</br>
Advantage: Tie
Conclusion
So there you have it. Two companies that both pride themselves on their high-skill products. One who’s Newton spawned an industry that the other is Pilot defined and dominated, went on to converge with the Treo only to fall behind and get eclipsed by the iPhone, and is now poised to come back with the Pre. Apple is going on to the third version of their smart phone line while Palm is introducing the first version of their third act.
If it seems like the only real deciding factors are where you live and work, what you want to do, and how you prefer to do it, well — yeah. That’s it.
Bottom line, the competition between iPhone and Pre is good for Apple and Palm — it keeps them on their toes and on top of their games — and it’s better for us. We’re lucky to live in a time and place where we have such increasingly awesome mobile options to choose between.
Come this summer, we’ll have a few more choices as well. Which one will be yours?

| iPhone killer? - BlackBerry Storm released: Enjoy your DVD and Video with it! panpan 10:34:21 |
| | There is no doubt that the iPhone has changed the smartphone world and forced cellphone manufacturers to sit back and rethink how they create new devices and features and how they can compete. Nokia recently announced a very compelling entertainment-focused iPhone rival and Blackberry will launches an stronger competitor - BlackBerry Storm.

And who will win in this battle, the Apple iPhone 3G or the BlackBerry Storm?
Screen
The BlackBerry Storm features a high-resolution 360 x 480 touchscreen, which gives it a 4:3 aspect ratio akin to older TVs, versus the iPhone 3G's 320 x 480 touchscreen which is a 3:2 ratio. Not much to choose between the two, though.
Keyboard
The Storm offers several virtual keyboard options, including standard QWERTY in landscape mode and SureType in portrait mode
The iPhone offers several keypads (QWERTY, numeric, symbols) in both landscape and portrait modes.

Operating System
The Storm appears to be running BlackBerry OS 4.7, whereas the iPhone runs OS X.

| | Android system has been taken into our memory early, many friends favor Smartphone input more energy to concern and discuss. The operating system of mobile Google was just come in, many firms are involved in its ranks. Although several Android system model, but from many large communication exhibition and conference, we can feel the intelligent system is brewing powerful planning and this program will allow rival felt unprecedented pressure. First, it is released- the recent Android 2.0 improving many functions in the basis of the original version. Further more, many using the Android system and budding Smart phones, from many world famous big mobile phone manufacturer, will give the arrival of the mobile phone market nowadays squabble. Today is for everyone to collect three typical phones of the Android phone system, if you are focused on a new system, so might as well see below, which can allure you?
Sony Ericsson's Android-Based Xperia X3
Relative to the Sony Ericsson X2, we pay more attention to the next paragraph - Sony Ericsson Smartphone X3 first using Android system smart phone in Sony Ericsson group. At times, we finally got similar official news, this high hardware configuration Smartphone will officially released in November this year.
According to unconfirmed reports, this Smartphone will have a tablet shape dominated by a 4-inch, 800-by-400-pixel touch screen. It will reportedly run the Android OS on a 1 GHz processor Snapdragon processor. Rather than use Google's standard user interface, Sony Ericsson has created a proprietary one for this device that emphasizes social networking (see here). One of the highlights of the X3 will apparently be its 8 megapixel camera with flash and support for VGA (640 x 480 pixels) video recording at 30 fps. This will offer face and smile detection, as well as image stabilization. It will allegedly be a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM phone with dual-band (900/2100) 3G: 10 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA. Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi g will also be included. In addition, it comes with built in music player. This music player is expected to be simple to use and manage. The music files can be traced according to the name of the song, album, artist or genre. As no proper information is available on the equalizer, we have to wait and watch what the sound control feature would be like. The music player is capable of playing music files based on MP3, AAC and e-AAC+ formats. Music can be enjoyed with wireless stereo Bluetooth also.
Samsung Galaxy I7500
Samsung's new i7500 Galaxy makes it the first manufacturer after HTC to enter the Android game and it does so with a fairly feature-rich phone. The Samsung i7500 fuselage, using only 11.9 millimeters thickness of design, equipped with a straight HVGA 3.2-inch 480 x 320 level of resolution touchscreen, built-in 500 pixel camera support autofocus, equipped with LED flashlight and using the high MSM7200A CPU, 8G memory.
The Samsung i7500 interface is pretty much the standard Android 1.5 OS platform, with very little in the way of customization. It equipped with 350 mm stereo headphone jacks, battery capacity for 1500mAh, support the global positioning system (GPS), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and all services, including Google search, Google maps, Gmail, Google calendar, YouTube and integrated GPS function of Google Talk. The video player on the Samsung i7500 Galaxy is of decent quality, while not bringing extra functionality (much like the music player). Videos are organized the same way as pictures in the gallery, and the default view makes it hard to search for the video you're looking for. However, there's also a dedicated video viewer as well, with the videos listed by name. It support with video format: MPEG4, h. 263, h.264 and audio formats: MP3, WMV, AAC, AAC +, e AAC +, WMA, RA.
Motorola DROID
As time approaches, the “Driod” on the operators of Verizon Wireless official web page will be officially released in the near future. But recently, it was announced that Motorola Sholes will launch with the newest Android2.0 system, for this machine attracting more attention.
The screen on the DROID is a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen -- a full glass display with a WVGA resolution clocking in at a handsome 480 x 854 full QWERTY keyboard. The DROID will be launched by the introduction of dedicated, support and 1XEV CDMA2000 1X CDMA network - A blinding Rev, this also makes this phone become the first CDMA mobile phone of carrying Android system. And it supports A-GPS navigation, Wi-Fi, USB2.0, E-mail, HTML web browsing and send out Google services, etc. Meanwhile This phone will be equipped with 3.5 millimeter earphone interface and stereo headset function, packing a 550MHz OMAP3 CPU, dedicated graphics processor, 512MB of ROM, 256 of RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, a digital compass, and accelerometer. Another, Motorola has smartly outfitted the DROID with a 5 megapixel camera coupled with an LED flash. Video, on the other hand, was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. The DROID is capable of shooting at a 720 x 480 resolution, will support AMR-NB/WB, MP3, PCM/WAV, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA and mpeg-4, H263 H264, video files, WMV formats.
All of these three phones are excellent smartphone. Here I should explain my smartphone requirements. I’m looking for a device to serve as my personal telephone, media player, mini computer and business assistant. For personal telephone, it is used for daily contact, to make calls and receive calls. All of these were easy to use and very convenient to dial a number. But if it is possible to watch dvds in these phones? I search this question on Google. And I find a good software to solve this problem – http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html which could rip DVD movies to most popular formats easily and quickly, such as: Rip DVD to MP4, 3GP, iPod/PSP/Zune, MOV, WMV, AVI, etc which these phone supports formats. Now I have tried it.
Firstly, download this software from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/dvd-ripper.exe
Install and run it !
Step 1: Insert the DVD disc into the DVD Drive.
Click the Open DVD button, browse your computer, and find the DVD folder of the movie. (It is not only load DVD disc, but also could open a disk backup’s directory.)
Step 2: Click the "profile" button and select the format for your player.
Step 3: Click the "convert" button. Please wait before the conversion succeeds!
Now, I could enjoy the videos with any other player. In addition, I also find http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html could convert video or audio files between all popular formats. It can help us to convert video formats for players. Both softwares are good assistant for Smartphone.

| How to play Video and DVD on your HTC phone: HTC Shadow, Touch HD2, Diamond, Hero, etc panpan 08:55:25 |
| | Numerous friends play attention of phone may have noticed, in 2008 and 2009, the Android system has been taken customers welcome - G1, G2 and G3 is well known. At this time, except for the HTC, that many manufacturers is holding wait-and-see attitude. But, after a period of precipitation and accumulation, many firms take the Android market prospect is good and rapidly launched many new phones, just taken the Android system. Even once the eldest brother - MOTOROLA also issued a high-end machine, which prove the Android system has a large influence in the users and manufacturers. So, if you are a mobile phone user or senior players, or to change to try new things, then the HTC mobile phone is a best choice for you. Now I have narrowed down my choices to HTC HD2 and HTC Touch2 which two of the most popular Android mobile phones.
HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 are two of the latest touch screen mobiles from HTC, one of the leading manufactures of innovative and stylish mobiles. Both of these handsets come with some useful and innovative applications that can be best suitable for businessmen and professionals.
Design Features
(A) HTC Touch2 is resistive touchscreen and HTC HD2 is capacitive touchscreen mobile. But both are projected very high resolution images with support of 65K colors. While the HTC Touch2 comes with 2.8 inches screen with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, the HTC HD2 comes with large 4.3 inches screen with a tremendous resolution of 800 by 480 pixels.
(B) The Touch optimized zoom bar and Touch FLO navigation are the highlights of HTC Touch2. On the other hand, HTC HD2 has accelerometer sensor for auto- rotate, proximity sensor for auto turn-off, ambient light sensor and pick-to-mute a call. Moreover, with a UI as heavy on the visuals and touch interaction as the Sense Experience, you expect a lot from a screen, and the HD2 certainly delivers.
Connectivity Options
1 Both of these handsets with 2G and 3G networking capability ensures wide connectivity options for the users. HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 have integrated Microsoft Mobile application support and HTC Touch2 is powered by QUALCOMM 528 MHz microprocessor and HTC HD2 has 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
2 The best features included in both these mobiles are 3.5mm audio output jack and GPS navigation facility with A-GPS, which helps the travelers to get all the required information of the locations whenever they require.
Camera Features and Multimedia
HTC Touch2 comes with 3.2 MP camera supported by Fixed Focus, Camera Setting and video recording capabilities. On the contrary, HD2 brings along the camera—a decent 5-megapixel number with a blinding flash and VGA video capabilities—wakes up as fast as you can point its lens, and tapping the home button, no matter how many apps you've got toiling in the background, always results in a satisfyingly clean and snappy return to HTC's ostentatious homescreen.
For providing entertainment to the users HTC Touch2 incorporates music player and video player supporting MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV, AAC+, eAAC & WMA music files and MPEG4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, M4V & AVI video files. Whereas HTC HD2 also has a video player which supports MP4, 3GP, AVI, etc and allows playing music in MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AAC+ file formats on its music player. If you don’t have MP4 file or MP3 files, you may try http://www.nidesoft.com/htc-video-converter.html which is the first and best video converter for HTC mobile phone Android system. It is professionally designed to help you convert video to HTC formats: MP4, AVI, WMV, H.264, MP3, etc.. With the HTC converter tool, you could play and enjoy movies on your HTC phone any where and any time. As follow is process.
First, http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/htc-video-converter.exe and install this software!
Step 1: Launch the program and Click "Add File" button to load source video files to be converted
Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “HTC Android MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start to convert video format.
After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your HTC mobile and enjoy your newly created video. Another http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html could rip DVD movies to most popular formats easily and quickly, such as: Rip DVD to MP4, 3GP, iPod/PSP/Zune, MOV, WMV, AVI, etc which HTC mobile phone supports formats. So these tow software is a good assistant for HTC mobile user! In addition, HTC HD2 also embeds FM Radio with RDS while its rival is missing it
Other Attributes
Both of these phones incorporate 512 MB ROM and card slot option besides, Touch2 carries 256 MB RAM while Touch HD2 carries 488 MB RAM. Moreover, GPS with A-GPS support and Pocket Office feature are commonly available on both of these. Exception this, HTC HD2 also adds HTC Peep and HTC Footprints function!
In the end, I make up my decision. The HTC HD2 made the most sense to me as media player and business assistant. But as I’ve noted the HTC Touch2 was also pretty impressive and could be a viable option for many others. In the future, hope the phone manufactures can continually launch better mobile models, and then eventually benefit will belong to our consumers.

| Is it a bigger iPhone: Apple's new iPad review panpan 02:20:08 |
| |
In the global media and users’ attention, the Apple Launch in San Francisco on January 27th. We had the opportunity to play with an iPad for long enough to have an idea of how it feels to use one and how the iPad looks in the real world. iPad - This is an apple launched another landmark products from 2007 since the iPhone. Now, we have a close for iPad main functions. And to see what are the most attention characteristic.
Display
The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inch thin, you can take it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold. Compare with currently the weight of the Internet notebook which has the mainstream of 7.0 pounds and more than 1 inch thickness, iPad is thinner and more convenience than ordinary notebook.
iPad has averaging 9.7 inches display screen and the IPS screen has advantages such as visible Angle large, fast response time and color reduction accurately, etc. Another, iPad has 1024x768 pixel resolution ratio, the proportion of the picture with 4:3 can fully guarantee running all of iPhone application software and it will be very convenience to looking up books and newspapers, using check all Qwerty keyboard, etc.
Connectivity Wifi, or Wifi+3G
From fuselage, the iPad between mobile phones and laptop computers, but on the networks application, it takes all of their advantages. iPad will also provide support for apple 3G and does not support the 3G version, that the user can choose. In addition to supporting 3G networks, iPad network support will completely unlock and user can use 3G network, so long as has the corresponding network support whether in the any countries and regions. At the same time, iPad will not support SMS and call, namely, not like the mobile phone sending and receiving text messaging.
iBooks
iBooks is a new program for reading and buying Ebooks, which can free online to read in App Store. Then, you can buy any you like digital books. With built-in iBooks have various classic books and best-selling books, once these books purchasing, can be in your iBooks bookshelf and could be read only need gently touched one point. LED backlighting and high-resolution screen ensures the colour of sharp, so you also can has the pleasure of reading experience under the in the dim light environment
Multimedia
With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. Browse by album, song, artist, or genre with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it. iPad even displays album art at full size. Listen to your music with the powerful built-in speaker or with wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones.
And as for video, the large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows to podcasts and music videos. Switch between widescreen and full screen with a double-tap. Because iPad is essentially one big screen, with no distracting keypad or buttons, you feel completely immersed in whatever you’re watching.
But if you want to view the DVD, you also need assistant software. I search it on Google and find good DVD Ripper software – [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] which could help you convert DVD to all popular video or audio formats which iPad supports easily. The simple process as follows:
Firstly, you may download this software here: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/dvd-ripper.exe
After download and install this powerful software, only four steps are needed to complete the conversion.
Step 1: Insert the DVD disc into the DVD Drive.
Click the Open DVD button, browse your computer, and find the DVD folder of the movie. (It is not only load DVD disc, but also could open a disk backup’s directory.)
A DVD may have multiple titles and each title contains one or more chapters. After your DVD movie is loaded, its contents will be listed. Click “+” to show the chapters in a title. Then you can click any title or chapter to preview it in the preview window on the right.
Step 2: Click the "profile" button and select the format for your player.
Step 3: Click the "convert" button. Please wait before the conversion succeeds!
Ok, you have ripped your DVD movies to other format you want, now just enjoy it. Another, I also have a try [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html]Nidesoft Video Converter[/url] which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats. If you have some video files which your player don’t support. You may use it! I think these two software are good assistant for media player and for your mobile and iPad.
Web Browsing
The web browsing works really well. Just imagine an iPhone / iPod touch, but faster and with a big display. At this game, the iPad beats any other tablet that I've seen, by far. I tried some popular sites and they all work, but Flash is still not supported. As Google has shown with Google Voice, web apps are the way to get around Apple's approval.
Gaming
All the games that were demonstrated today were iPhone games in 480x240 that were stretched to 1024x768 using a good upscaling filter - it does look a little fuzzy but don't expect any miracles: the original content is very small. This is good news that changing resolution is very easy for developers, but it is harder to design new user interfaces that take advantage of the higher resolution. We know that Apple devices are a huge gaming platform, but "hardcore" gamers that need a pad or a keyboard+mouse will probably continue to criticize a touch interface for good reasons. The conclusion is that you can't be everything to everyone - it's that simple.
Conclusion
Through the above characteristics, I think iPad is a lovely device that gadget fans will lust after. From the new A4 processor to new iBookstore, apple iPad release just bring a slab of apple computer, also brought more applications, this will change the derivative mobile interconnection of many people life style

| How to convert DVD and video to Blackberry Storm2, 9700 and many other formats panpan 06:17:58 |
| | For Blackberry lovers, this month is very exciting month. Research in Motion (RIM) is launching two new handset very soon - the Blackberry Strom and Blackberry Bold 9700 . Both are aimed at different markets and are very much improved over their predecessors. The Blackberry Storm 2 as we know is the second-generation Storm handset and comes with BBM 5.0 and an improved touch-sensitive screen, much better than the original Storm. And some of the features of the Blackberry 9700 are much the same as the Storm 2, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G support and Wi-Fi. The difference end there, as the Bold 2 is not a touch screen and is aimed at a different user, as the handset is more for business use. People can’t wait for them coming. Now, Verizon has confirmed that the Blackberry Storm 2 has been headed to the carrier on October 28th. But it is also a secret which date the Blackberry 9700 will be published. In this article I have summarized both of them devices’ features and what are their relative and essential programs.

That’s the simple information I have got about the two phones. In many other aspects, both have the same characteristics, for example, Device Security (Password protection, Screen lock, Sleep mode, Optional support for S/MIME), Wireless email, Organizer, Browser, and Notification etc.
For multimedia, Blackberry Phone is advanced media player for videos, music and pictures. Blackberry Strom2 supports video formats including MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV and audio formats including MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, WMA ProPlus, and so on. While Blackberry Bold 9700 supports video formats, such as, Divx 4, Divx 5/6, H.263, H.264, WMV3, MPEG4 and so on, and audio formats such as 3GP, MP3, WMA9,WMA9 Pro/WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, and so on . Meanwhile, I find the Blackberry could not support all of video or audio files such as AVI file, FLV file and so on. So I search this problem on the Google and find powerful software to let me enjoy wonderful experience with Blackberry Phone – Nidesoft Blackberry Video Converter. It could convert video and audio files to your Blackberry movie and music format. The source files formats that could be converted by this Blackberry Video Converter include: MPEG, VOB, MP4, M4V, WMV, ASF, AVI, 3GP, FLV, YouTube, etc. Additionally, you could use this Blackberry Converter to convert MOD to Blackberry video.

Under in this area, the mobile phone technology develops quickly and the mobile phone competition is more and more severe. As a blackberry lover, I hope they can take the good sales performance

| Android or Windows Mobile: which is smarter to enjoy DVD and Video on your LG phone? panpan 06:17:19 |
| | With the competition of mobile market becoming more and more intense, most of big mobile phone companies constantly introduce new products. After Motorola’s Droid, Sony Ericsson's Xperia X3 and Samsung Galaxy I7500, LG Company finally announced its first Android mobile phone – GW620 and the GM730e using the latest Windows Mobile operating system. This GW620 mobile phone has been launched in Canada, and renamed LG Eve. Basically an evolution of LG's QWERTY messaging phones, the GW620 looks a little bit like a slimmed down version of Motorola's Dext phone, with similar functionality too. Compare with other smart phones, the GM730e with six lively and lovely intelligent elves will be formally listed. So the netizens are full curious with the six cute "elves" and expectative in this LG GM730e coming. Now I have a simple summary about them. Hope it could provide some useful information to LG mobile lovers.
GW620
The phone is slim to hold in the hand, with a full slide out QWERTY keyboard. A 5MP camera sits on the back (with single LED flash), with the unit coming in with dimensions of 106 x 55 x 12 mm and 3-inch screen. Behind the slide out section, there's an opening for a microSD card, and the up/down rocker switch too, with the microUSB and camera shutter buttons hidden around the edge for good measure too. It fits nicely in the hand when in portrait mode - but the bad news is the screen is only resistive, meaning that scrolling and tapping our way through was a lot less intuitive that other Android phones.
Button wise - with a menu, back and terminate button the only options to play with. The interface is an odd fusion between LG's S-Class and the vanilla Android system. The same S-Class options are employed on the front home screen as well - instead of scrolling left and right to access new screens, you now get that 'spinning' cube interface for each new set of icons, which is a little cumbersome. Another nice touch is the presence of Facebook and Twitter baked right into the handset - send messages from your social networks right from the phone, something that's becoming increasingly popular on today's handsets (especially those based on Android).
Media is laid out in a similar way to Motorola's Dext phone as well - in fact it's identical, so we're wondering if this is some kind of interface buried deep within Android that only Motorola and LG have managed to unearth.
GM730e
GM 730e unlike traditional smart phone inflexible and complicated, it is more convenient and interesting. But bringing this revolutionary change lies in its S-Class 3D user interface of LG originate. Its relationship with Windows Mobile operating system is equivalent to the "skin" and "muscles". With the help of S-Class 3D interface, the function of Windows Mobile operating system is strong and optimization, even without any operating experience of the users can quickly learn to use. Easily dissolve the problem like the initial users "I don't know how to delete the messages".
As a revolutionary product, GM730e appearance is so stylized and conspicuous. Its fuselage size is 109.8 x 56.5 x 11.9 mm, airframe small and thin, extremely fashionable feeling. 3 inches WQVGA resolution (240 * 400 pixels) screen, giving users’ larger space, while LG also increased S-Class 3D interface Windows Mobile system menu name, promoted the accuracy of the fingers. In order to allow users to feel better convenience of GM730e experience and let S-Class 3D interface with Windows Mobile fusion more perfect, LG for GM730e made excellent hardware platform, the central processor of 528 MHZ supports accelerated 3D graphics functions, not only make 3D interface more fluent, but also maintain the speed of multitasking quick reaction. Windows Mobile system itself entertainment function is strong enough, but GM730e also equipped with 500 million pixels and high-definition camera, support auto-focus and shooting night function etc. It also provides GPS navigation software, built-in national maps and various kinds of travel interest, bringing convenient and reliable positioning navigation and experience for customers.
Both are good mobile phone. In this era of music and movie popular, people not only care phone’s hardware, but also has more attention on its multimedia function. Both new LG phones have a 5MP camera to be able to shoot video! It supports single LED flash, auto-focus, auto-white balance and auto-exposure, build-in media player. But they are different in supporting video and audio formats. GW620, support video format: WMVMPEG4H.264ASF and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3AACWMAWAV, etc. And GM730e, support video format: MP4WMV and 3GP, etc and audio format: MP3AACAAC+E-AAC+AMRWMA and WAV, etc. If you haven’t MP4 or WMV videos on your computer, you may use http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-lg-converter.html to convert DVD files into LG compatible formats or use http://www.nidesoft.com/lg-video-converter.html to convert all other video files into LG, just follow the step by step guide.
Step 1: Install and run Nidesoft LG Video Converter. Click “Add File” button to import your video from your computer.
Step 2: Click the “Format” drop-down list to select the right format for your Sony player.
Step 3: Click the “Convert” button and start the conversion. The conversion will be finished in a short time and then you may enjoy videos.
In addition to the above model, both software could also support various types of LG phones such as: LG KP500, LG GT540, LG KF740, LG GD510, and LG GD510, LG KC910,etc. It is not hard to think that both are essential auxiliary software to LG mobile phone users.
With the development of technology, these mobile phone hardware and software developed quickly. It's important that Android is to go from geeky to mainstream. This has greatly improved our life. Enjoy music anytime and anywhere makes our life more colorful and wonderful. Let’s just enjoy our lives, enjoy our days!

| Nokia N900 vs iphone 3G vs BlackBerry Tour, which is more powerful? panpan 06:16:12 |
| | Most friends often focus the mobile phone will find a rule that at the end of every season, each big firms will have come up with their own masters, for the New Year gift, of course, the real purpose for the market began to do next year. And the most recent consumer can call the brunt of joy, when the N900 Nokia. As a new phone using Maemo 5 system platform, Nokia N900 listing bespeak the mobile operating system war will start in the future. This is why Nokia will launch new touch system after Nokia has just launched S60 V5 system for only one year. Now let’s have a close look at the new Nokia N900: What are the new Nokia main features compare with the iPhone 3G S and Blackberry Tour?
Display
iPhone 3GS: Dimensions (115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm), large (3.5 inch diagonal), weight(135g), high-resolution (480x320 screen), multi-touch display;
Blackberry Tour: Dimensions (112 x 62 x 14.2 mm), 480 x 360 pixels, weight (130g), Full QWERTY keyboard, Trackball navigation, Wallpapers;
Nokia N900: Dimensions (110.9 59.8 18 mm), weight (181g), full qwerty sliding keyboard ,WVGA (800x480) touch display, not support multi-touch display;
Conclusion: Tie. Each phone has its own unique design essence and it is more of a personal preference which one you would like. However, the N900 is the largest size and the heaviest phone.
Memory capacity
iPhone 3GS : There are two models with 32GB and 16GB capacity of internal memory. No Card Slot. RAM capacity is 256 MB.
Blackberry Tour: It has an internal memory of 256MB and External Micro SD cards are supported up to 8 GB.
Nokia N900: It has an internal memory of 32GB and is expandable with a 16GB MicroSD Card to make it a total of 48GB. The RAM and ROM capacity respectively is 256 MB and 768MB.
Conclusion: The iPhone has enough memory to store all your favorite music and videos but N900 even exceeds that limit with its whopping total of 48GB. And the capacity of Blackberry, in contrast, is smallest.
Application Availability
iPhone 3GS : No comparison is complete without a mention of Apple’s App Store. iPhone is the easiest platform to develop application for. This is why there are thousands of developers developing millions of apps for the iPhone.
Blackberry Tour: Developers of Blackberry Applications use outdated tools that don’t give them enough access to the Core APIs on Blackberry Handsets. But there are some apps that are very useful to the Blackberry users.
Nokia N900: The N900 comes with preloaded Ovi Store to easily pick up any apps. You can also pick up any programs from wherever you like online unlike iPhone which lets you choose apps only from Apple’s own app store. And what I do know is that the Maemo community is very active.
Conclusion: Though the Apple is not open like Nokia but still the amount of apps that are available for iPhone makes it a winner in this category.
Multimedia
iPhone 3GS: It has a 3.15 MP Camera with autofocus, touchfocus and geotagging facility. It can capture videos at VGA resolution 30 fps, although there is no flash. It has build-in multimedia player and supports: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats. There’s no doubt that iPhone is wonderful music mobile phone.
Blackberry Tour: It has a 3.15 MP Camera with autofocus, touchfocus and it has LED flash. Another, it also has media player: MP3 / WMA / AAC+ and video player: MPEG4 / WMV / H.263 / H.264, etc.
Nokia N900: It features a 5 MP camera labeled with Carl Zeiss lens. It also packs dual LEDs flash, but don’t expect miracles when taking photos in dark restaurants and bars. By default, the N900 takes 3.5mp photos. And its Video capture is done in 848x480 pixels (3.4Mbps, 22.3fps, AAC mono 48 kHz). The Nokia N900 is capable of playing DVD-resolution videos. The real issue is to find digital video files that have been properly sized and compressed to take advantage of the device's screen and decoding capabilities. Video playback formats: Video playback file formats: .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp; codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, and H.263. Video streaming formats: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263 in .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .asf and .3gp containers.
What if you have large music or video collections you want to carry around with you on your mobile? I have got third part software to do this admire job: use http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html to rip dvd to your mobile phone’s compatible formats, just follow below step by step guide.
Firstly, download this software from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/dvd-ripper.exe
Install and run it!
Step 1: Insert the DVD disc into the DVD Drive.
Click the Open DVD button, browse your computer, and find the DVD folder of the movie. (It is not only load DVD disc, but also could open a disk backup’s directory.)
Step 2: Click the "profile" button and select the format for your player.
Step 3: Click the "convert" button. Please wait before the conversion succeeds!
Now, I could enjoy the videos with any other player. In addition, you may also use http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats. It can help us to convert video formats for players. Both softwares are good assistant for Smartphone.
Conclusion: The Nokia N900’s camera beats all others with its feature as well as image quality. But as for media player, Nokia N900 and iPhone 3GS are both good!
Overall
iPhone 3GS : The iPhone is a blockbuster phone that has won many hearts. After some of refinements the iPhone 3GS model seems to remove all the flaws that it had in the previous models. Now it stands as an irresistible champion.
Blackberry Tour: Blackberry is always the first choice for the business users and the Blackberry Bold is the best BlackBerry phone ever made. It is also an unquestionable choice for a corporate person.
Nokia N900: The Nokia N900 is currently the best smartphone that Nokia has ever produced and I'll call it a smartphone even if the company brands it as an "Internet tablet with phone functions". As a voice device, the Nokia N900 does very well, and as a communication tool, it is very good too. With Maemo, Nokia's smartphone future seems a lot brighter than it is with Symbian OS, but despite the obvious potential, the number (and quality) of applications is still uncertain right now.
Conclusion: At the end of the day all of the third phones are tough competitors and it is hard to decide which one is the best. None of the phones can be neglected for their shortcomings because they have some features that outdoes others in some respects. But, the N900 faces stiff competition from the iPhone 3GS and the Blackberry Tour, just to name the obvious ones. It might have a "features" advantage, which is great, but I wonder if "technical coolness" will convert into actual sales. My personal take is that the 3GS will still be the most desired phone, with the Blackberry fast becoming second in line. If Nokia wants to create a great smartphone eco-system, it needs to have a strong user base (in that space), and to achieve that, it needs sexier phone designs, there's no way around it. At last, I wish Nokia will have good sales.

| Google Nexus One vs iPhone 3G: which is better choice for video playing? panpan 10:32:52 |
| | Now that Google’s Nexus One phone has been revealed, the question everyone is asking is how does it compare to the other current top smartphones on the market? Moreover, is it worth switching to Nexus One from your current device? Now, I have narrowed down my choices to Google Nexus One and iPhone 3G S and I’ve had a really tough time choosing between the two:
Display
Thinner than iPhone, Google Nexus One features a 3.7-inch (9.4 centimeter) AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) touchscreen display. Measuring 119mm (H) X 59.8mm (W) X 11.5mm (D), the phone offers 800x480 pixel screen resolution.
On the other hand, iPhone 3G S comes with 3.5-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen display with 320 x 480 pixels. The phone measures 115.5 x 62 x 12.3 mm.
Operating system
iPhone's current model runs on iPhone 3.1 OS. The phone is powered by ARM Cortex A8 processor. Among key features, the upgraded software now lets users cut, copy & paste, a sorely missed feature in the iPhone 2.0. iPhone 3.0 also offers multimedia messaging capability with the new 3.0 software allowing users to send each other photographs from the phone.
Nexus One will run on Android Mobile Technology Platform 2.1 software, the most recent version of the mobile platform offered by Google. The phone has a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Android 2.1 which add several 3D user interfaces features and lets users customize home screen.
Battery life
Apple claims that iPhone 3G S supports up to 12 hours of talk time, 30 hours of audio, 9 hours of Wi-Fi, 10 hours on video playback, and 5 hours of 3G talk time.
According to Google, Nexus One will offer talk time of up to 10 hours on 2G, up to 7 hours on 3G. Standby time is up to 290 hours on 2G and up to 250 hours on 3G. The phone offers video playback of up to 7 hours and audio playback of up to 20 hours.
App Advantage
Apple iPhone App Store iTunes offers people over 90,000 apps. Nexus One, on the other hand has its own Android Market that offers mere 20,000 applications.
Multimedia
Unlike iPhone, Google's first-gen handset offers a 5 megapixel camera (with auto focus, a 2x digital zoom and LED flash) and video recording at 20fps (720 x480). It has build-in multimedia player and supports: MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 etc video formats and MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR, WB/NB, WAV&MIDI, etc audio formats.
The third-gen iPhone packs a 3 megapixel camera with video capturing, auto-focus mechanism and editing capabilities. The earlier two versions shipped with only a 2 megapixel camera each. And it also has multimedia player, but supports: MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, M4V&MP4, etc video formats and MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, VBR &Apple lossless, etc audio formats.
Both are good multimedia smartphone and support many video and audio formats. But, if you has a AVI file, how to play it with both two smartphone? I get answer from Google search. You may try [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html]Nidesoft Video Converter[/url] which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats to convert AVI file to MPEG-4 format. Detailed process is as follows:
Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe.
When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it.
Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.
Tips: Click a file in the list and you could use the preview control buttons to play the file.
Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format, such as to mp4 for iPhone.
Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time.
Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which iPhone 3GS and Nexus One supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.
As for memory
Nexus One packs 512MB Flash, 512MB RAM and 4GB Micro SD Card which can be expanded to 32GB.
Apple's third generation iPhone comes in two memory options, 16GB and 32GB. The phone has 256MB RAM. But iPhone 3GS doesn't have a card slot for further memory expansion, which is a sore point.
At last, a big disappointment in Google Nexus One is that it doesn't support multi-touch functionality unlike Apple iPhone 3G S. And a trademark of Apple, multi-touch allows users to interact with the device by placing two or more fingers directly onto the surface of the screen.
Android system smartphone has been favored by manufacturer, after all, only it may compare with Apple. But the Android system is not totally same the apple and we also see a new innovation from Nexus One. But as the first independent brand phone using Google, the Nexus One may be the best Android system phone as so far. If it can be become the biggest competitor for iPhone, we still see!

At this time, except for the HTC, that many manufacturers is holding wait-and-see attitude. But, after a period of precipitation and accumulation, many firms take the Android market prospect is good and rapidly launched many new phones, just taken the Android system.

So, if you are a mobile phone user or senior players, or to change to try new things, then the HTC mobile phone is a best choice for you. Now I have narrowed down my choices to HTC HD2 and HTC Touch2 which two of the most popular Android mobile phones.
HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 are two of the latest touch screen mobiles from HTC, one of the leading manufactures of innovative and stylish mobiles. Both of these handsets come with some useful and innovative applications that can be best suitable for businessmen and professionals.
Design Features
(A) HTC Touch2 is resistive touchscreen and HTC HD2 is capacitive touchscreen mobile. But both are projected very high resolution images with support of 65K colors. While the HTC Touch2 comes with 2.8 inches screen with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, the HTC HD2 comes with large 4.3 inches screen with a tremendous resolution of 800 by 480 pixels.
(B) The Touch optimized zoom bar and Touch FLO navigation are the highlights of HTC Touch2. On the other hand, HTC HD2 has accelerometer sensor for auto- rotate, proximity sensor for auto turn-off, ambient light sensor and pick-to-mute a call. Moreover, with a UI as heavy on the visuals and touch interaction as the Sense Experience, you expect a lot from a screen, and the HD2 certainly delivers.

1 Both of these handsets with 2G and 3G networking capability ensures wide connectivity options for the users. HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 have integrated Microsoft Mobile application support and HTC Touch2 is powered by QUALCOMM 528 MHz microprocessor and HTC HD2 has 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
2 The best features included in both these mobiles are 3.5mm audio output jack and GPS navigation facility with A-GPS, which helps the travelers to get all the required information of the locations whenever they require.
Camera Features and Multimedia
HTC Touch2 comes with 3.2 MP camera supported by Fixed Focus, Camera Setting and video recording capabilities. On the contrary, HD2 brings along the camera—a decent 5-megapixel number with a blinding flash and VGA video capabilities—wakes up as fast as you can point its lens, and tapping the home button, no matter how many apps you've got toiling in the background, always results in a satisfyingly clean and snappy return to HTC's ostentatious homescreen.
For providing entertainment to the users HTC Touch2 incorporates music player and video player supporting MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV, AAC+, eAAC & WMA music files and MPEG4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, M4V & AVI video files. Whereas HTC HD2 also has a video player which supports MP4, 3GP, AVI, etc and allows playing music in MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AAC+ file formats on its music player. If you don’t have MP4 file or MP3 files, you may try http://www.nidesoft.com/htc-video-converter.html which is the first and best video converter for HTC mobile phone Android system. It is professionally designed to help you convert video to HTC formats: MP4, AVI, WMV, H.264, MP3, etc.. With the HTC converter tool, you could play and enjoy movies on your HTC phone any where and any time. As follow is process.

Step 1: Launch the program and Click "Add File" button to load source video files to be converted
Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “HTC Android MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.

Moreover, GPS with A-GPS support and Pocket Office feature are commonly available on both of these. Exception this, HTC HD2 also adds HTC Peep and HTC Footprints function!

But as I’ve noted the HTC Touch2 was also pretty impressive and could be a viable option for many others. In the future, hope the phone manufactures can continually launch better mobile models, and then eventually benefit will belong to our consumers.
