India’s First Android Device Soon

Posted on 28. Dec, 2009 by admin.

Hyderabad based Notion Inc, a startup formed by six IITans and an MBA graduate, might just be the company that would make the country’s first Android device.

The tablet PC from the company will feature Nvida’s Tegra processor and will run Android as mentioned earlier. The yet unnamed device will feature a writable 10.1-inch touchscreen and will weigh in at just 770grams. It will be feature packed with technologies like Blue tooth, a 3 megapixel camera, video recording, USB charging and a data storage capacity of 32GB all crammed in. Then, there is the much sought after Wi-Fi connectivity as well.
It’s Lithium Ion batteries would be able to power the device for almost 48 hours, claims the company. The Notion tablet PC is expected to cost less than $400 (Rs. 18,640 approx.), and could be in your hands by June 2010, if all goes as planned.

Google Reinvents Search For Mobile Era

Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 by admin.

For all the computing power and new algorithms required to deliver relevant real-time search results, a capability announced at a media event on Monday, Google’s most significant achievement may be thinking outside the box, specifically the keyword search box.

That’s not to diminish the technical accomplishment behind measuring search result freshness in seconds rather than minutes. Speed is good for Google, as the company often acknowledges.

But the strides Google has made in voice recognition and image recognition promise to open new markets for the company and to change the way people search and interact.

“This is certainly a rebuke to anyone who believes that Google is through innovating,” said Gartner VP of research Andrew Frank.

Google on Monday announced: 1) the inclusion of real-time information in Google search results; 2) Google Goggles, an experimental image recognition system for Android 1.6+ devices by which users can submit search queries using snapshots of certain objects; 3) a “What’s Nearby?” location-based search capability in Google Maps for mobile (version 3.3); 4) Japanese language support for the iPhone and Android voice search apps; and 5) a plan to provide in-conversation voice translation across languages, starting in the first quarter of 2010.

More succinctly, Google is deepening its commitment to new modes of search: search by voice, search by location, and search by sight.

At the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif., where the “Searchology” event took place, Google VP of engineering Vic Gundotra said that thanks to the cloud, computing has changed.

For a glimpse of what will be possible in this new cloud-powered era, Gundotra said that location-based search will be able to provide information about whether requested products are in-stock at shops willing to share inventory data with Google.

That’s a valuable service for merchants and Google is well on its way to being able to provide it.

With regard to Google’s search by sight research, Gundotra mused that Google Goggles could one day allow people to point at an object and have it identified.

Google Goggles, with a picture, can do that for a limit set of objects: landmarks, many works of art, and products. It can even read bar codes, a capability likely to disrupt the market for bar code reading apps in the same way that Google’s turn-by-turn direction capabilities in Android are disrupting the GPS device market.

But even more remarkable is the promise of nearly instant voice translation via mobile devices, a capability Gundotra calls “a UN interpreter for everyone.” It’s not hard to imagine that the provider such a service, in conjunction with location technology, could have a significant impact on where travelers decide to eat, shop, and sleep.

Mark Simon, VP of industry relations at digital ad agency Didit, observes that the advent of new forms of search such as Google Goggles means that marketers have to think beyond interacting with text.

‘Marketers began to feel the need to incorporate new touchpoints and integrate many marketing channels with each other in 2009; but such strategies will become live-or-die marketing issues in 2010,” he said in an e-mail. “Now, every interaction with the world is an online interaction, and an interaction that relates back to search. Marketers really need to tie each of their touchpoints back to search in more ways, and more creative ways, than ever before.”

QR codes, which function similarly to bar codes, may be an example of just such a touchpoint. In a separate but related location-based search announcement, Google on Monday said that it had begun sending QR code window stickers to over 100,000 businesses designated as “Favorite Places on Google”.

When photographed with selected mobile devices, including iPhone, Android-powered phones, BlackBerry and others, software turns the sticker images into URLs that direct the user to the appropriate Google Maps Place Page. Businesses can use Place Pages to provide information, reviews, or even discount coupons.

“We really do get the sense that we are just now beginning to sense the possibilities,” said Gundotra.

Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition launched

Posted on 23. Nov, 2009 by admin.

Nokia today announced the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition, an entertainment hub that combines mobile broadcast TV (DVB-H), social networking, music and gaming in one compact 3G device. With mobile broadcast TV consumption on the rise – by 2012 there will be over 300 million people worldwide watching TV on their mobile phones – this handset offers easy access to anyone wanting to enjoy an exceptional live, on-the-move TV experience.

Nokia vice president Mark Selby said, “The introduction of the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition responds to the arrival of DVB-H broadcast mobile TV networks in new markets and offers an affordable device for new and existing customers alike. Customers are increasingly watching a variety of programmes on their mobiles, such as drama programs, news and sport, for a longer period of time. The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition has the sound and image quality to hold audiences captive.”

Watch TV. Anywhere.

Thanks to the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition’s DVB-H technology, programs burst through the QVGA 2.4″ screen in full-colour, crystal clear, sharp images. Plug in 3.5mm headphones for personal viewing or use the loudspeaker option to share the experience with friends and family.

With one-click access to live broadcasts, the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition can pick up the best channels around. Set reminders for favorite shows to make sure key episodes aren’t missed and create personal channel lists with Nokia’s innovative Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for a truly tailored mobile broadcast TV experience.

The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition provides broadcast picture quality while the headset acts as an antenna for outstanding reception, so no blank screens or interference during those all important moments. Long battery life gives up to six hours of DVB-H usage; enough time to watch three football matches – or six episodes of a soap opera – before recharging. The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition will retail for 155 Euros before taxes and subsidies.

Franklin Selgert, Chairman, Broadcast Mobile Convergence Forum said, “It is essential for DVB-H service providers to have a variety of devices capable of serving the mass market. Having a complete portfolio of handsets is pivotal for the commercial success of mobile TV. The new Nokia DVB-H enabled mobile phone, the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition, is a great addition to the current portfolio of broadcast TV-capable handsets.”

Catch up with friends. Anytime.

The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition comes with all the latest social networking software, making it simple to stay in touch with friends via Ovi Contacts, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. Post status updates for friends and family to follow or instant message (IM) them via Windows Live(TM) Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, AOL and many others.

Capture photos and video clips, day or night, using the 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and LED flash before uploading and sharing favourite shots via sites such as OviShare and Flickr. Alternatively, email them via Ovi Mail, Nokia Messaging, Windows Live Messenger, Gmail, or Yahoo! Mail.

Play music. Whenever.

Accessing music and other apps is easy with dedicated music keys and links to the Nokia Music store (where available).  The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV edition is also compatible with Nokia’s innovative Comes with Music service – providing free, unlimited access to millions of tracks.  Download free music anytime, anywhere – and keep all the music forever.

Keep up-to-date. Wherever.

Check out the choice of personalized media and applications in the Ovi Store. A one-stop-shop for thousands of applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web and location-based services and more, means personalizing the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition is just the touch of a button away.

Mobile TV. Roll-out.

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks work with more than 30 operators worldwide on Mobile TV implementations. Commercial launches with Mobile TV services based on DVB-H and OMA BCAST standards include Austria, Finland, Ghana, Kenya, India, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Netherland, Philippines and Switzerland. Additional commercial launches can be expected during the next 12-18 month in more than 20 countries.

Stefan Schneiders, Head of Mobile TV solutions at Nokia Siemens Networks said, “It is great that Nokia has affirmed its commitment to DVB-H by launching the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition. 2010 brings a series of high-profile global sporting events and this is a good opportunity for operators to create, drive and bundle innovative mobile TV services based on DVB-H. In fact, during the 2006 World Cup, Italy saw the launch of the most successful mobile TV Broadcasting service in Europe.”

Francois Theron, CEO at DStv Mobile comments: “DStv Mobile has rolled out DVB-H networks in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Namibia and we are currently rolling out a number of new networks in other African countries. Our success has been built around offering innovative and premium television content at an affordable price while facilitating access to inexpensive handsets which suit the requirements of consumers in Africa. The introduction of the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition is a welcome development as Nokia is a trusted brand in Africa and will further encourage television viewers to access entertainment, sport and news on the DStv Mobile platforms.”

Vincent Grivet, Vice President, Mobile TV TDF, France said “We are very excited by the launch of the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition. It is a highly seducing and compelling device and will be the perfect platform for introducing both European mobile users and operators to a high quality and constraint free mobile TV experience. This is exactly what the industry has been waiting for to accelerate the broadcast mobile TV roll out, and we look forward to the successful and fast distribution of this innovative device in our key European markets such as Finland, Austria, Germany and France.

Vincenzo Novari, CEO at Hutch 3G, Italy, said: “As the largest handset producer in the world, Nokia’s announcement is real evidence of their commitment to the development of the broadcast mobile TV market. Networks, content and handsets made for mass consumer consumption are the key ingredients for fuelling the market’s growth”.

Erik Sylvestersson, Vice President Sales & Marketing at DNA Finland said:  “Live digital TV broadcasts over DVB-H networks is becoming more accessible to more people.  In Finland, we have found that sport and news are the key drivers for broadcast mobile TV consumption among consumers. People want to be able to watch the action as it happens – rather than settle for highlight shows once they get home.  Consumers expect an exceptional on-the-move TV experience at an affordable price, something the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition is fully equipped to deliver.”
