HTC Titan and Radar to Reinvigorate Windows Phone 7?

admin — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:59:42 +0000

Windows Phone 7 was launched at the end of last year to much critical acclaim but has so far not caused much of an impact in the phone industry. It currently only enjoys about 5% of the total smartphone OS market and there have only been a handful of Windows Phone 7 devices released by HTC and Samsung. Of course, this is all likely to change with Nokia’s plans to dedicate their phone industry almost entirely to Windows Phone 7 as they are a company that still enjoys the largest market share and also a great deal of brand loyalty.

But in the meantime the Radar and Titan from HTC are the first Windows Phone 7 handsets that have been released for several months, and may likely be the only WP7 devices for some months to come. Do they have what it takes to generate more interest in the operating system?

The Radar and Titan are the first handsets to ship with the new Mango update for Windows Phone. This irons out many limitations with earlier versions and brings Windows Phone 7 more up to speed with current market trends. While Mango will be available for all existing Windows Phone 7 devices there are certain new features that will only be available on newer models. One of these is the support for front facing cameras and video calls.

Because video calling was not supported on earlier versions of Windows Phone 7 older devices did not include front facing cameras and so will not be able to benefit from this update. The Titan and Radar will be the first chance for Windows Phone fans to enjoy video calling. It should be pointed out though, that while many companies make a big song and dance about video calling, most notoriously Apple with its Face Time app, not many people actually use the feature. So what else is on offer?

Of course there are a number of other benefits to Mango including improved social networking features. Social networks are now more deeply integrated into the interface and WP7 now supports Twitter and LinkedIn integration. Mango also comes with enhanced Sky Drive support, Microsoft’s answer to cloud computing, allowing you to store documents, images or music in “the cloud” to access from any compatible device.

Mango also supports multitasking so that you can switch between apps with ease. The WP7 browser now also comes with native HTML5 video support, another step in the right direction. Of course this is all combined with excellent pre-existing features of Windows Phone 7 including Zune, Xbox LIVE and excellent MS Office support.

The Radar is the more affordable of the two devices and offers a good set of features, while the more premium Titan comes with a gigantic 4.7 inch screen. While the Titan has a great set of features all round its larger screen will make it ideal for web browsing, Xbox gaming or just enjoying videos on your phone. While the Radar has a smaller screen it is also exceptionally well suited to these features too.

HTC Radar and HTC Titan deals will be available in the United Kingdom shortly. If they, and Mango, are anything to go by then there can be only good things in store for Windows Phone 7. The OS is going from strength to strength and with the recent deal between Microsoft and Nokia Windows Phone 7 mobile contracts should start to get the market recognition that they deserve.

Mobile Phones are the Drivers Worst Night MARE

admin — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:53:15 +0000

Nowadays due to rise on technology , it a boon but also a curse due to Drivers using mobile phones while driving , using mobile phones while driving is really road to night mare because nowadays you find many cases of accident related to using of mobile while driving. Due to this in many countries using mobile phones and also talking while driving is become an illegal issue and certain rules and regulation are implemented by government for public saftey and precaution because every one knows that precaution is better then saftey. So dont use mobile while driving but still your daily routine starts with mobile then please use handfree service like bluetooth headphones or use earphones for saftey reason please concentrate your mind in driving not in mobiles while busy driving in traffic areas.

According to new U.S. government research. Text messaging alone caused more than 16,000 deaths in car accidents from 2001 to 2007, the researchers estimated. But auto deaths involving cell phones and texting while driving rose 28 percent in just three years, from 4,572 in 2005 to 5,870 in 2008 now you guess what may be the latest strength of death taken by mobile phones.On my last visit in Kuwait i saw each and every place with big banners stating that DONT TALK WHILE YOU DRIVE but still night mare goes on.

These type of death are mainly affected by youngsters because they call ,use text message more and also teens, so govt started strictly precautions to avoid such incidents.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS WHILE DRIVING AND USING MOBILE PHONES :

IF you really want to talk using mobile phone stop the car sideways and then you recieve your call.
Else if you are going on driving and cant stop but still you need to talk use handfree kit or bluetooth ear phones etc.
Do one work at a time, while driving concentrate on driving see forward with you mind active and talk .
Else your wish .

HAPPY AND SAFE DRIVING FOLLOW TRAFFIC RULES
