Symbian vs Android – Old Versus New
Jul 27th
Let us take a close look at 3 phones, which sum current war between the new OS Android, as well as incumbent player Symbian, and see who makes better mobile phone.
Nokia 5530
First on roster is the whole new member of the Nokia’s Xpress range of the music mobile phones, mouth watering Nokia 5530. And this mobile phone is very obviously made for the music and the video lover; you may tell by dedicated XpressMedia touch key, which pops up the list of links to the music, videos, web, and many more. Oh, and Nokia 5530 has the beautiful, touch sensitive display, to play with your media content. Generally, Nokia 5530 was made as the teeny portable entertainment piece, and as the music devices go, and this is very easily the prettiest. Nokia 5530 has got the 3megapixel camera, GPS and HSDPA data access, so it is the superb all round mobile phone, and superb media box.
Samsung i8910 HD
Then, there is Samsung i8910 HD, it has one big benefit over other two. Whereas it has 8megapixel camera, Samsung i8910 HD is the first mobile phone to record the true 720p HD video. Never earlier has the mobile phone been capable to capture the video at this massive resolution, and coincidentally, Samsung i8910 HD captures the high def video at an exact quality, which Youtube display the high def videos at. It is very possible that Samsung i8910 HD was made with the main feature to be an ability to get yourself on the Youtube, in the high definition. Combine this with sumptuous 3.7inch screen, and huge 8Gb of the internal memory, and it is very clear that Samsung i8910HD deserves being one of phones of a year!
HTC Hero
Thus, there is a Samsung i8910HD that relies on the awesome camera & video skills. Then, there is Nokia 5530 that wows you with the Symbian OS & the music playback. But, there is the open source alternative to two. Android is now trying to take over world, and their new home is beautiful HTC Hero. Also, it has all good stuff, which made first Android mobile phone good, however puts that all in touch screen only body that is sleek & sexy. Since keyboard is removed, HTC Hero has the full, onscreen keyboard, as well as sumptuous new interface named Sense. You get an Android Marketplace that allows you to download & install the third party apps to the HTC Hero, and it generally ends up making the smartphone that actually will morph in whatever you would like it to be. It is based purely on this logic, HTC Hero ably demonstrates why Android is a threat to an incumbent operating systems.

iPad……its coming !!
May 25th
The Apple iPad is just around the corner and the early adopters will be counting down the hours til they can get their hands on it.
Wi-Fi is gonna be the thing to have round the house……but you know that everyone who has one will be out in force so you can drool over it on the train, the tube and the park.
The 3G version with its mini Sim card is available on O2, Orange and Vodafone. Each network offers a slighty different bundle but they are basically the same. All hail the omnipresent Apple !!
Its gonna boil down to the network you have your handset on so expect to see O2 will come out on top.
How long before you get a discount for buying your iPad with a connection, let’s just wait and see.
Smartphone….what’s that…you don’t have one !!!!
May 24th
If green is the new black then smartphones are the new phones.
With mobile phone technology moving on leaps and bounds it’s not hard to see why so many new phones sold are now smartphones. If you want to play snake in five different colours of grey then your days are numbers, but if you want to send a video, in HD of course to your mate in Lands End while your enjoying a weekend on John O Groats then what you have is a smartphone.
With Apple and HTC cutting a sales blaze and the other manufacturers close (well getting closer) on their heels it shouldn’t be long til we have 4G and projectors the norm.
Let’s see how the next wave of handset releases go, cos if there is one thing for sure, with Apple about to launch a new iPhone on at least three of the networks you can bet your bottom dollar the rest of the kids in the playground will be showing off as best they can.
