Nokia Lumia 920 incompatible with India’s 4G network

Nokia Lumia 920, the Finnish manufacturer's flagship phone, will not work on India's 4Gnetwork, even though the version headed to this country will support 9 LTE bands. The website of Nokia India lists the bands that the device will work on, including LTE bandwidths. The list does not name LTE 2300 bandwidth, which is the standard in India, even though the smartphone will work on LTE 2100 and LTE 2600 networks. 

This means that buyers of the device in the country will not be able to enjoy ultrafast download speeds on mobile networks on their Lumia 920. Nokia India has confirmed that the listing on site is correct, thus ruling out all possibilities of 4G in the country. However, this may not be a major issue for most prospective buyers in the country since 4G is so far available in only a few cities and even 3G is trying to catch up. 

In India and China, Time Division Duplex (TDD) network is used for LTE. However, it is not a commonly used format and most manufacturers do not make phones meant for it. As of now, Huawei Ascend P1 remains the only smartphone compatible with Indian LTE band.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III review


Canon’s latest full frame camera EOS 5D Mark III has to follow the footsteps of its illustrious predecessor. Is it a worthy upgrade and does it offer enough to please the serious professional’s thirst for more, while rewarding him with some arm-chair features? Our test review has the answers.

FEATURES OVERVIEW
The review unit was delivered to our test bench with a 24-105 mm F4 IS USM lens. The EOS 5D Mark III is a 22.3 mega pixels full frame 35mm camera. Unlike the predecessor’s 3.9 fps, the Mark III offers a shooting speed of 6 frames per second, and loads up 61 Auto focus points and a 63 zone metering system. The camera’s shutter life is 150,000 cycles.
Canon has reworked almost every bit of the software and there are many hardware additions too in the 5D Mark III. It is almost a complete overhaul of the 5D Mark II which it replaces.
The new camera has many novel features, like HDR capture , HD movie capture, multi exposure mode, 100 per cent viewfinder, touch-response rear dials for video controls and a new 'rating' button which makes image/video selection on the go possible, to name a few.
Lightweight but hardy, the 5D Mark III manages to combine what would seem to be opposite ends of the spectrum of users. It expands the level of manual intervention and settings tweaks possible and yet offers in camera HDR, more video recording capability, dual card slots (SD and CF capability) and suppressed shutter noise levels.
The 5D Mark III is capable of 1080p HD video, with 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. But, of course, what interested me more was its ISO capability of 25,600 expandable to 102,400.

PERFORMANCE

One of the key parameters that most photographers look out for is low noise at high ISOs. This is an absolute necessity for sports photography, and for getting good results indoors and outdoors at night.
I set the ISO at 12,800 and photographed my jet black great Dane with a white snout against a cream toned wall lit only by a single tube light in the room. The white balance was set to Auto. The result as seen on the camera’s 3.2-inch LCD screen was excellent, the blacks and whites reproduced faithfully without a tinge of a colour cast. After checking the result on my iMac, I found the noise levels to be within acceptable levels.
After stepping up the ISO to 25,600, I took the camera to the beach near by. The auto white balance couldn’t correct the colours taken under the street light and the auto focus couldn’t handle the low light near the waves. However, the high ISO could handle the low light on the manual focus mode.
The next set of pictures was taken in good evening light at a farmhouse holding an event for pets. With the ISO set at 640, the focus was fast so was the continuous shooting at 6 frames per second, the colours and contrast were good, but the pictures required a bit of sharpening.
The final test was at a music concert where I shot with ISO`s ranging between 2,000 to 25,600. Although the noise levels was low the images got progressively soft and a bit of out of camera sharpening was required and this resulted in a progressive build up in noise levels and vignetting at the corners was more pronounced
I tried the highlight tone priority on a bright day on white benches, and the dynamic range of the camera was sufficient to hold all highlight tones, and the highlight tone priority mode could not contribute much by way of (highlight) tonal range addition. The dynamic lighting function, which builds shadow and darker mid tones information works well as it should. Though, I prefer to turn it off to preserve the original lighting contrast.
For RAW shooters, who can afford post production, the image quality is excellent. The camera comes only with a monoaural mike input, so for sound, seperate Digital stereo sound recording gear may be necessary.
In still photo mode, low contrast images do not render too well, though the camera responds immaculately and quickly to any situation, largely because of the new Digic 5+ processor. Low contrast images tend to go a bit too soft and appear muddy. Even in the default settings, sharpening artefacts are visible and at higher ISOs, the image rendering is not optimal, with details getting obscured especially in low contrast areas. The absence of an AF illuminator makes auto focus functions difficult in low light.

VERDICT

On the whole, despite some of the issues, this is a sizeable upgrade by Canon. Though, I was bit disappointed also by the lower image size. I expected Canon to bring out at least a 25 or 30 MP camera with full video capabilities. This camera is perfect for some one who already has a good stack of Canon lenses and seriously wants to upgrade and for the shooter who does both still photography in RAW mode and a bit of Video shooting.
In short : Impressive low light performance in RAW, particularly if the scene is ‘contrasty’. Images are eminently usable upto 25,600 ASA.
At 16,000 ASA, blacks are very good and the image is smooth. From 5,000 ASA all the way up to 12,500 ASA, images are silk smooth with very little noise.
In JPEG mode though, the de-noising feature overcompensates and tends to create unnatural rendering.
Love – low noise at very high ISO levels, good image processor
Hate – no AF assist light
Rs 2,50,095 (with EF 24-105 F4L IS USM kit)

HTC One X+

The HTC One X+ is clearly what the One X should have been in the first place. On a rather interesting note, the One X+ pips the Samsung Galaxy S III in most of the system performance benchmarks. But the pricing of the device is a bit of a downer. The price of Rs. 40,190 that HTC has shared with us makes the Galaxy S III a bit more attractive, since it is currently retailing for considerably less money, at around Rs. 36,000.

Nokia unveils Lumia 505 with Windows Phone 7.8, 8-megapixel camera


Nokia has unveiled the Windows Phone 7.8-running Lumia 505 in Mexico.

The Nokia Lumia 505 sports a 3.7-inch 480x800 display, 4GB internal storage and a paltry 256MB RAM. There's no word yet on the processor inside the Lumia 505. The standout spec of this otherwise modest smartphone is perhaps its 8-megapixel camera that is also capable of recording 640x480 video at 30fps. There's no front camera on the Lumia 505.

Nokia claims 7.2 hours of talk time and 600 hours of standby time (both over 3G) from the 1300mAh battery that the Lumia 505 sports.

As mentioned earlier, the phone runs Windows Phone 7.8, which is essentially Windows Phone 7.5 with some new features thrown in. This includes a new start screen UI with resizable live tiles, as found in Windows Phone 8. Windows Phone 7.8 also doubles the number of theme and accent colours to 20 and adds other new lock screen features: the option to automatically display the Bing Picture of the Day plus the 'A1B2C3' PIN/password challenge to prevent accidental device wipes on phones connected to Exchange accounts.

There's no word yet on price or availability of the Nokia Lumia 505 yet, or anything regarding Nokia's plans to launch this smartphone in markets outside Mexico.

  • 3.7-inch 480x800 display
  • 4GB internal storage
  • 256MB RAM
  • 8-megapixel rear camera

Apple sells 2m iPhones in China in 3 days


Apple says it sold more than two million iPhone 5s in China in their first three days of availability, setting a record for that market.
The iPhone 5, which launched in China on Friday, will be available in more than 100 countries by the end of December.
The phone first went on sale on September 21 in nine countries, including the US and Australia, with more than five million sold in the first three days.

That also set a record, but it only beat last year's iPhone 4S launch by a small margin, falling short of some analysts' expectations.
Apple shares hit an all-time high of $US705.07 that day, but in the months since the stock has plunged about 28 per cent.
On Sunday, Citi analyst Glen Yeung cut his rating for the company to "Neutral" from "Buy", questioning the strength of iPhone 5 demand and saying it's unlikely Apple shares will rally any time soon.
Apple Inc shares fell $US6.85 to $US502.94 in premarket trading on Monday.

Leaked BlackBerry images show iPhone influence

Leaked images purporting to show the next BlackBerry handset show a full touchscreen device more in line with flagship handsets from RIM's competitors Apple and Google.
The images, published on Vietnamese technology news site Tinhte.vn, appear to show the handset codenamed BlackBerry London, which is due for release early next year. The handset will be the first to run BlackBerry 10, the next version of the BlackBerry operating system
.
From the pictures, the BlackBerry London looks to have a minimalist industrial design similar to that of Apple's iPhone 5. The back is textured and it appears to have mini-HDMI and microUSB ports, as well as a microSD slot and removable battery.
The BlackBerry London is expected to be unveiled along with another BlackBerry model at a launch event on January 30, 2013. The new images are consistent with earlier leaked pictures showing both devices, which were originally scheduled for launch this year.

LG Optimus G2 Reportedly Coming With 5.5 Inch Display to Set Aside Galaxy S4

Following the successful launch of Google branded LG Nexus 4, which borrows some features from Optimus G, the South Korean smartphone vendor has definitely regained its lost foothold in the smartphone arena and has come out as a competitor to all the biggies in the market including Samsung. 





Now, LG is reportedly prepping a superior package that can surge the mobile space - successor of Optimus G with better specs on board. According to a recent report by Korean website Asian Economics, Optimus G2 will sport a 5.5 inch 1080p display with 440 ppi pixel density. Recently, HTC has announced the global version of Droid DNA and J Butterfly dubbed as Butterfly with a 5 inch 1080p display. Also, companies including Samsung, Huawei and many others are working on such devices that will be launched in 2013. The report also states that Optimus G2 will hit the retail shelves in the first half of next year, which is when Samsung is also reported to launch its upcoming flagship smartphone - Galaxy S4. Going on lines of an earlier report by MK Business News, LG Electronics is in talks with its subsidiaries including LG Display and LG Innotek and will reportedly launch a new smartphone with the likes of 1080p high definition display, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and quad core 2GHz processor. 

Optimus G2 to set aside Galaxy S4 When speaking of the global smartphone arena which is dominated by Samsung, Apple, HTC and others, LG may not be the first choice for many consumers, but if the South Korean tech giant manages to release a flagship smartphone with AMOLED display with 440 ppi pixel density, there are chances that it could create a surge in the market. As far as Optimus G2 is concerned, there is only little information about the smartphone is known so far including its display, operating system and processor. However, these are only rumors and they are not confirmed by LG. If these rumored specs turn out to be true, Optimus G2 could become a pontential rival to Samsung Galaxy S4, which is also rumored to come with similar specs during Q2 2013. Detailing on Samsung Galaxy S4, the handset boasts a 5 inch AMOLED HD display along with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 441 ppi pixel density, 2GHz quad core Cortex A15 processor, 13MP rear camera, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and 16GB/32GB/64GB/128GB internal storage options. Futher, Galaxy S4 is speculated to be unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 or Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 events early next year and released in April/May. Hence, if LG launches Optimus G2 with such advanced features as in Galaxy S4, the handset could definitely set aside the Samsung offering in 2013.

Tablets will force PCs to evolve: Analyst

The shift to smartphones andtablets became a landslide this year, crushing desire for laptop computers and pressuring manufacturers to adapt to the mobile Internetera.i 

The trend promised to gain momentum in 2013, with people using handheld gadgets to remain connected to the Web on the go and switching to sophisticated systems in homes or offices. 

Tablets will not kill PCs (personal computers), Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett told AFP. Tablets will force them to evolve. 

Signs that the evolution is underway includeMicrosoft overhauling Windows to synch the world's most widely used computer operating system with tablets and smartphones as well as desktops and laptops. 

Microsoft is even selling its own Surface tablet based on the Windows 8software released in October. 

I don't think the PC is going away, said analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley. 

What is clear is we are going through some turmoil; the market is resetting itself around new products. 

While people opt for tablets instead of laptops for computing on the move, they will yearn for bigger screens and more processing power when they settle down for real work, according to analysts. 

Your tablet can do so much that fewer people need laptops, but when you get to your desktop you want something that contrasts significantly from your tablet, Gillett said. 

I think we will ultimately see the reinvention of PCs. 

Gillett described a future in which people go seamlessly from working on mobile devices to desktop stations where tablets can be docked and augmented with sensors, processors, bigger screens and more. 

He refers to the concept as frames for computing. 

The analyst contends that the limping economy is among factors behind a temporary lull in PC purchases destined to end as people go through this illusion they will do it all on a tablet and realize they can't. 

Tablets will substitute for some, even many, laptops but because a tablet can't do as much as a laptop it will eventually stimulate PC sales, Gillett reasoned. 

What ultimately happens here is that the laptop and desktop get rethought and re-invented for a tablet world. 

The market for tablets and smartphones is red-hot, leaving the PC as an afterthought for many. Microsoft, which was the biggest tech firm in 2009 because of its dominant Windows operating system for PCs, has fallen behind Apple and is struggling to remain a major force amid gains by Google and Amazon. 

Onetime giants like Hewlett-Packard and Dell are struggling amid sluggish demand as sales of tablet computers and other devices surge. 

However, Enderle pointed out, China-based Lenovo is thriving by selling the gamut of computing devices. 

Lenovo is showing success in all categories, supporting the notion that while the market has more products it is all still personal computing, Enderle said. 

Before we were buying a laptop or desktop computer, he continued. Now, we are increasingly carrying many products. 

Research firm IDC projects global PC sales this year of 367 million, up just a fraction of a percent from 2011 and marking the second consecutive year of growth below two percent. ABI Research predicts tablet computers will overtake notebook PCs by 2016. 

Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates said that the PC still is pretty relevant but not the center of the computing universe. 

I think people are going to choose a pantheon of devices, and all of these are connected through the cloud... so the user is now the center of the tech universe. 

More than 32 million tablets were shipped worldwide in the third quarter of 2012, a 75 percent increase from the same period a year earlier, according to Futuresource Consulting. 

Futuresource projected that global tablet shipments this year would hit 137 million units and nearly triple during the coming five years. 

We're seeing significant industry growth across all key world territories, with the majority of tablet market activity still originating from consumer purchases, said Simon Bryant of Futuresource. 

Part of the success of tablets was attributed to the average price dropping below $400, due in large part to competition between device makers using free Android operating software from Google.

Sky Go hits Google Nexus 7 and other Android devices

Christmas has come early for a few more Android owners as Sky Go is now compatible with a host of new devices, including the Google Nexus 4 and 7.
The app, which can be downloaded from Google Play, is now supported on Jelly Bean (Android 4.1 and 4.2), provided you're running the OS on a compatible handset.
Just as we reported in early November, the HTC One Series is first in line with the HTC Desire X, HTC One X,HTC One XL, HTC One S, HTC One V all now able to run the app.
The other newly Sky-Go-compatible devices are: the Google Nexus 4, Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Note 2, Sony Xperia S, Sony Xperia T and the LG 4X HD.


iTunes India Review


If you talk to most media-junkies, they'll tell you that morals only come second when it comes to downloading media. It's lack of affordable original content that drives the piracy industry in India in the first place. It's some progress then that Apple Inc decided to finally launch an India-based iTunes app last week. I checked it out to see if it's an option that most of us will keep coming back to time and again. The new iTunes launched is downloadable from the company's official Web site as a 85 MB file. The download took us about 20 minutes, and once downloaded the setup was fairly quick and simple.

MUSIC

All media categories — Music, Movies, App Store, Books and Podcasts are lined right at the top of the interface. I checked out a couple of music albums first. Based on genres, you can lookup your favourite artists or albums in this section. Being India-based, the first category on display is `Bollywood Music', which actually includes film audio albums across regional film industries in India. I was actually glad to see that prices, even for the latest releases, were fairly reasonable (considering once I purchase them, I can play them across multiple Apple devices.) Costs, predictably, went even lower with older movie albums. For example, six soundtracks from Mani Ratnam's 1995 hit 'Bombay' were available for Rs 72. If you want just a couple of songs, then you have to cough up a meagre Rs 12 for one! Not bad considering it's the original stuff!

MOVIES

Similarly, choices are aplenty in the Movies section as well. Almost all the movies are priced at Rs 190 (to buy) and about Rs 80 (to rent) The Dirty Picture in HD, for example, cost about Rs 390 to buy and about Rs 120 to rent but Eat, Pray and Love cost about 100 bucks more to buy. iTunes in the Cloud lets you download your previously purchased iTunes music to all your iOS devices at no additional cost, and new music purchases can be downloaded automatically to all your devices.
There’s also iTunes U where you can check out educational resources. I took a small 5-minute Spanish language class just for the heck of it! It’s fun and useful to have quick access to a bunch of resources like these.
While trying out all the sections, the loading times were pretty decent on our office broadband connection. The new India-based iTunes thus makes available a lot of media which we wouldn’t have had access to at the rates they are being marketed for. Not if we wanted to stay legit, anyway!

Bharti Airtel Ordered to Restore SMS Services to Aircel by Supreme Court

The apex court today (December 11, 2012) directed Airtel to reconnect its SMS services to Aircel within 24 hours which was terminated following a dispute between the two telecom giants. The issue was on Aircel paying the termination charges to Airtel. Termination charges are those which are paid by the operators from whose network the calls or messages originate to the ones to whose network the communications are sent.

Aircel has now agreed upon paying termination charges at 10p per SMS. The Supreme Court has further demanded that within a period of two weeks' time, from Monday, the appellants are supposed to pay their arrears to the respondents in terms of a demand letter dated October 25 and also the termination charges of 10p per SMS from the date of regeneration of services. Aircel is now all set to challenge the telecom sector Tribunal TDSAT for rejecting its plea on September 24th against Airtel. The division bench had also made clear that the payment that is to be made by the appellants to the respondents will remain subject to final settlement of the appeal. The SMS termination charges are not an issue just between Airtel and Aircel but between various other telecom operators too. The disputes are between Vodafone and Tata Docomo, Airtel and Reliance, Airtel and Aircel. Tata Docomo has also appealed against Airtel for the termination charges on services like 10p per SMS.

Nokia Asha 205 has built-in, dedicated Facebook key

The new Nokia Asha 205 mobile phone now includes a bulit-in dedicated Facebook button.

It is the first Nokia phone that includes such a key, and is also the most affordable qwerty from the company, priced at Rs 3,499.

"Young consumers are increasingly using Facebook for communication, socialising and entertaining. The launch of the Nokia Asha 205 responds to this growing demand and gives a unique option for consumers at an affordable price point", Viral Oza, Director Marketing, Nokia India, told reporters here on Tuesday.

Kevin D'Souza, Country Growth Manager, Facebook India, said Facebook has 65 million active users in this country.

Nokia has also included 'Slam' feature in Asha 205. Slam allows consumers to share multimedia content like photos, music and video with nearby friends almost instantly, Nokia officials said.

Slam works with most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones without the need to pair devices, and without the recipient needing to also have Slam, they said.

"In just a few clicks, people can 'Slam' their content to another device faster than Bluetooth alone and without consuming internet data", Nokia said.
