Dell Adamo

Recently the company Dell officially introduced the long-awaited ultrathin notebook Adamo. New price of $ 2000 will probably become the main competitor to the famous Apple MacBook Air.

 Previously, it was assumed that production will be Dell Adamo Taiwanese giant Foxconn Electronics. But in the end a contract to produce new products the company has managed to acquire Quanta Computer, which is the largest contract manufacturer of laptop computers. This is referring to own sources, reported the Chinese news edition of Apple Daily.

 Specifications Model:

• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo U9300;
• Graphics Intel X4500;

 Dell is planning, in addition to the 13.4-inch model to produce under the brand Adamo is also a more compact version with a 9-inch display. Most likely, it will be no full-fledged laptop and netbook, perhaps based on the platform Intel Atom. In any case, this model will apply to High-End segment.

ASUS M930W

ASUS is continuously gaining momentum in the field communicators, producing a lot of devices of different shapes and designs. It’s no secret that the next innovation will become a model of M930W.
In recent times, was not interested in small form-factor record, as the Nokia E90 and the Toshiba G920. So ASUS M930W no exception.The mechanism of attachment allows the device to reveal as much as 180 degrees.
As an operating system developer has been selected Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Communicator works in three bands in GSM, and appropriate support for GPRS, EDGE, as well as third-generation network of UMTS / HSDPA.
The device is also equipped with powerful Marvel PXA270M with a clock speed of 520 MHz, 256 MB of internal memory, Adapters Wi-Fi b / g and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and profiles support slot for memory cards SDHC. In addition, data can be carried out using miniUSB-jack.
The only thing that raises questions, it is the internal display, which looks rather small against the backdrop of the vast unused space around it.

Nokia N81

 A new youth smartphone Nokia N81 is the second attempt to promote the company’s Nokia in mobile gaming content.  As you know, the first entry (Nokia N-Gage and N-Gage QD) was not particularly successful. Unlike most smart phones the company is minimal, of the features at first acquaintance with the characteristics evident in the well, the navigation sensor ring. Smartphone is made in the slider form factor and is very similar to sverhpopulyarny product – Nokia N95, the cost of which has already come down from sky-high heights. N81 comes in two versions: with a compartment for memory cards and embedded flash memory 8 GB, but do not cover installation of the flash cards.

 Along with the Nokia N81 concept release N-Gage is reborn, but not as a separate device, but as an entire platform.With smartphones Nokia (with the exception of N81 to the list of compatible and includes N95) users gain access to special network services with which to download games, share content and communicate with other players, and fight with them in the multiplayer modes.

Play at the N81′s really good. This contributed to a large convenient joystick and a pair of keys, located above the screen. If you deploy the smartphone in the 90 degrees, a joystick аккурат will be under a lot of finger left hand, and those keys – under a lot of finger left hand.Probably for the left-handed an opportunity to realize the screen to rotate 180 degrees.

 But no single game can boast of Nokia N81. With regards to other opportunities, it also does not yield to competitors. Of course, the 2-megapixel camera is no longer a revelation, but it was still enough to make relatively acceptable images. With music as a full order – the place player, service to download the album from the Internet, support for wireless headphones.In the case of a wire is not necessary to use adapters, a smartphone equipped with a standard jack 3.5mm audio jack.

 Other important features of Nokia N81 – is the wireless adapter is Wi-Fi, FM-radio, support for third-generation 3G networks and Bluetooth-Stereo. Excellent smartphone nice design, with a bunch of useful and interesting features. In that, it becomes a bestseller, you can not doubt.

iPhone 3G

Less than a year since the appearance of the first iPhone, as Apple introduced the long-awaited iPhone 3G second generation of slightly modified design and a host of new opportunities, access to high-speed wireless 3G,your e-mail Microsoft Exchange server and the support of various programs from third-party applications from the store iPhone Apps. New iPhone 3G – is the iPhone, which we have been waiting for. He still lacks some basic features, but compared to what was a previous model year ago – a device marked a new era of development of mobile communications.

The price of the device we sincerely pleased. New and regular customers AT& T (telecom operator in the U.S.) could buy the iPhone 3G with 8 GB of memory for $ 199, but with a 16 GB for $ 299.If you do not need a phone proshity under the AT& T, you can buy it for $ 399 and $ 499 respectively (in this example shows the price iPhone 3G in the U.S. market).

So, is it necessary to buy iPhone 3G?If you are still not purchased iPhone, waiting for the release of new models, now is the time. If you are the owner of iPhone, but want to enjoy more high-speed mobile communication, then it is necessary to make a decisive step.But if you are a user and the iPhone is not going to use 3G, then you do not need novelty. Because the site is available an update to the Apple Software iPhone, to version 2.0 which also gives access to the mail server, allows you to work with third-party applications, and makes available many new features is absolutely free

Notice a difference in the design of the front of the iPhone 3G is quite difficult.Minor changes: silver ring became thinner and the silver protective netting – they are so small that we do not notice them at first acquaintance with the device. But much more change can be seen on the back of the phone. Apple replaced the aluminum cover on the silvery white or black plastic. The black version (model presented in our review) was very attractive, however, silver lid, could be seen far fewer fingerprints and stains than the brilliant black coating.The white version – does not like.

Edges iPhone 3G took just the form of conical shape to approach the curved back of the lid, which makes the device thinner around the perimeter of, unlike the predecessor, but slightly thicker in the center (1.22 cm to 1.19 cm).Unfortunately, the curved lid makes iPhone 3G slightly unstable when used on a flat surface, which soon begins to irritate. The length and width (13.97 x 6.1 cm) remained the same, although slightly decreased weight (133.24 g to 136.08 g).

When the amount of 8.9 cmand permission to display pixels 480×320 preserve its size, but displays slightly more dots per inch (163 to 160), and shows excellent color, clear graphics and smooth motion.  Glass cover the display, turning the sensor device,sensor interface and support the menu remain untouched.

Governance iPhone 3G undergone some changes, but none of them did not surprise the current user. Button “Home” is located directly below the display, and sound control and lock switch stayed on the left side. All buttons and switches are now silver, not black as it was before. Slot for SIM-card is also on the original site, but Apple added to the iPhone 3G a complete tool for removing SIM-card.Below iPhone in speaker, microphone, and input for the charger, you can also notice two small holes on each side of the slots to connect the charger.

If you think that it is now possible to change the battery in the iPhone – this bug – the battery can not be replaced, so we recommend that you do not even try to (though rumor that this time the battery is not vpayana).We are very pleased that the 3.5-mm connector on the headset is placed flush with the surface of the phone that you can use any 3.5-millimeter headset.

The set included cable to synchronize with your PC, cloth for cleaning the screen, a headset, user manual, as well as the aforementioned device for the extraction of SIM-cards.Apple took care of that for the iPhone 3G is not suitable docking station from the previous generation iPhone, but if you suddenly need it – it can be dokupit separately at a cost of about $ 30.

iPhone 3G not only supports all the features the previous version, but also has a new, so we will concentrate on them.Fortunately, for the first generation iPhone owners, most of the impressive number of new products – except the 3G support and enhanced features GPS – will be available with a free firmware update to version 2.0.

Workaholic always please support Microsoft Exchange Server, providing an opportunity to use e-mail, address book, calendar, technology, remote cleaning devices, access to international contacts, and automatic detection.This is another nice addition, is of interest for a new class of corporate users who now will be able to view a working e-mail on your iPhone.

When selecting menu iTunes store (store iTunes) you get to the main menu, Apps Store, the design which in something like a mobile iTunes Store. You can search by name and category, and you can view a list of submitted applications (Featured applications) or Top-25.There is also a function of inspection, there appeared to have already purchased applications have any updates.We have several applications for the iPhone, only with the help of the U.S. payment card VisaGold – because the iTunes store does not accept the Ukrainian or Russian credit cards, generally in the registration section of the CIS countries are not available,as is the case with the original iPhone, or with his younger brother PLERIN iPod.Download software via the Wi-Fi was able to fairly quickly, for most applications, it took only a few seconds, but remember that it depends on the size of the application.Despite the fact that the songs in iTunes can be purchased only through a Wi-Fi, application no more than 10 GB, you can download and use the 3G or even EDGE (if 3G network is not available).

Downloading data over 3G took about the same time, as well as via Wi-Fi, with a difference in a few seconds to download via EDGE was slow. We are also able to purchase the application through the online store iTunes (7.7).We downloaded Super Monkey Ball and then upload it to the iPhone – with a new tab appears under a menu iPhone. The process was quick and easy. Moreover, navigation through the on-line application shop is quite simple.After downloading the applications on the iPhone screen, there are icons that launch applications. What’s most striking in the shop, is that the title is available in full, the entire width of the screen that occurs primarily through the position sensor device.At the time of writing this review, available 27 pages of different categories. Of course, Apple – this is not the first company that makes the phone using third-party software, but as himself iPhone, Apps Store is unique not only because he does, but how to do.The process is simple so that we can not imagine how I had to perform the same process on a device with Windows Mobile. Of course, before you come to a complete delight, please note that some applications are free, but for some, and will have to pay.

Support phone iPhone 3G wireless UMTS / HSDPA, appeared too late for those who bought the first generation iPhone, and who has had disappointed the slow speed of web surfing via the 2,5 G EDGE, but the higher will be the value of second-generation device.Browser Safari continuously increases the speed of 300 Kb / sec to 500 Kb / sec or more. It is a huge leap above the usual for EDGE speeds of less than 100 Kb / sec. Web pages are usually offered for a minute, via 3G open for a second.

While the current iPhone will find your position through triangulation of nearby cell towers and communications satellites, iPhone 3G uses Assisted GPS, which is supported by the satellites, which allows to better define the current location. Assisted GPS also offers live tracking so that you can track the path to the extent of movement. But even with these additions GPS-function iPhone can not replace the special GPS-device. Google Maps opened the route from point to point in the new iPhone 3G, but the phone does not support the motion of rotation to rotate in real time and is not clear whether such a possibility in the next generation of phones.

Last year, Steve Jobs said that Apple had decided not to include 3G in the first iPhone because of reducing the duration of the device battery life. Now the developers the company was able to solve this problemu. Zayavlennoe the time of the iPhone 2.0 of 3G in the conversational mode is 5 hours, 2G-conversational mode – 10 hours, 3G-Internet mode – 5 hours, 6 hours of work for a wireless connection, 7 hours of continuous video playback and 24 hours of continuous audio playback, and finally 12 and a half days of standby.Terms of the continuous playback of audio and video has not changed since the first iPhone.

iPhone 3G actually supports a number of applications that are accessible through the iPhone SDK. This is expected to cost, as Apple has long promised to open the ON-line store selling software.We anticipate that this will happen on 11 July. For example, some games will work with the light regime of energy conservation and many of them will be compatible with integrated accelerometer.

The latest version of iPhone is equipped with the operating system OSX 2.0 with a set of additional features, including the search for contacts, work with documents iWork, the ability to view PowerPoint-presentations, movement and disposal of large amounts of data, the calculator to perform scientific calculations (in landscape mode), the technology «Parental Control»,as well as support for 16 languages.

Despite all its advantages the new Apple iPhone 3G does have some shortcomings. This lack of MMS, stereo Bluetooth and video recording.We also thought that the new iPhone 3G would cost to add the extended keyboard when writing messages, voice dialing, as well as support for Flash in the browser and of course support for memory cards.

MSI NetOn AP1900

Despite the fact that the interest of the market to thin clients, PCs and compact monobloc internet terminals there for several years, manufacturers of such systems until recently been reluctant to move their products onto the platform Intel Atom.Activities in the promotion of new products based on it recovered only at the beginning of this year, and one of the first companies became MSI.

The main reason that the Atom does not appear on desktop systems before, was the economic inconvenience of such a step.For Class all-in-one characterized by higher production costs than for netbukov, and for ultra-corporate models – low retail price, which reduces the margin of the manufacturer.If you engage in mass production of desktop PCs based on Intel Atom, a vendor will be less than the processors for the manufacture of netbukov, bringing greater profits.

Another factor that probably influenced the strategy of companies like ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI, was the threat to reduce sales of budget motherboards manufactured by them.Nettopy and monobloc PC is quite capable of simply displace the traditional budget PCs from the office segment of the PC, which brings a significant percentage of their profits to producers.A similar situation may arise, and with corporate laptops Lenovo, HP, Dell and other vendors, who today often do not acquire in order to ensure mobility of staff, and to optimize your workspace.Naturally, from the commercial point of view is the development of the situation would be undesirable.

However, over the past few months, the situation changed. Deficit Atom processor to build the release of CPU by Intel Corporation came to nothing.Manufacturers netbukov begun to provide more advanced model – with a diagonal screen 10 “, more sophisticated design, more functionality, etc., to maintain interest in the segment and to attract buyers to the traditional notebook PCs, the basic model moved to second place.In addition, the update is not far off of the platform: Intel is preparing to release a new chipset for Atom, and a little later – and a new model with an advanced processor architecture.In short, the vendor has a lot of available CPU and chipsets that can be used for the production of desktop systems.

MSI NetOn AP1900 is the class system all-in-one, and is positioned as a solution for Internet cafes, offices and other similar patterns of use not requiring high performance, but critical to ergonomics, energy consumption and the price factor.
MSI NetOn AP1900 actually built on the basis of large 19-inch monitor with the increasingly popular 16:9 ratio and resolution of 1366 × 768, the body which is a PC based on Intel Atom.Its specifications are almost identical to those for most netbukov middle class: CPU Intel Atom N270 (1,6 GHz), Chipset Intel 945GSE from the south bridge ICH7-M, 1 GB RAM DDR2-533 and the graphical kernel Intel GMA 950.Interestingly, the device is not based on the desktop CPU and chipset (Atom 230/i945GC), and their mobile versions, which use energy-efficient processor. Obviously, this is done in order to unify and to save on the development of a new motherboard.

Since the SSD-drives used in PCs of this class has no meaning, MSI has used the traditional 2.5-inch hard drive Western Digital Capacity 160 GB Interface PATA. The device is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet network controller and Wi-Fi (802.11b / g), a wireless antenna adapter is integrated into the body. At the top of the screen frame are fitted with a web camera with a resolution of 1.3 MP and a microphone, on the sides of the rear wall removed small trends.Also note the pleasant addition of memory card reader and DVD-writer drive LG GT10N.However, using the latter may have some problems: it is equipped with a traditional carriage and placed vertically, so the carriage when loading the disc had to hold the hand that’s inconvenient. Interface connectors are located on the rear and right walls.At the back of the shell removed two connector PS / 2, two USB 2.0, audio in / out and RJ-45 for LAN. On the right side are two more USB 2 connector.0, card reader, supporting media standards SecureDigital, MultiMedia Card, MemoryStick, and xD-Picture Card, as well as the optical drive.Thus, the complexity of the constant connection of peripheral devices, and using a USB-drives and other mobile equipment should not occur.
The set includes a set of wired mouse and keyboard, the latter is «compressed» layout, typical for notebooks. Such a decision seems rather moot: if the table was a place for the PC with a diagonal of 19 “, the full-size keyboard would fit.However, no one prevents the user to connect additional devices.

Design MSI NetOn AP1900 somewhat resembles Apple iMac. Under the screen there is a wide area, doing nothing other than a company logo and button, highlighted with blue LED.Its location and high brightness can be distracting when working in a room with inadequate lighting, and turn off the backlight button, unfortunately, can not.By the same area of the screen itself is quite high above the table, which can be inconvenient, and often a feeling of blank front panel. But the device can boast a small thickness – only 35 mm – and the possibility of mounting on a wall using the VESA-compatible bracket.

MSI NetOn AP1900 Tests show that its performance matches those in the vast majority of netbukov market.The modest increase in productivity compared with the average netbukom provides traditional hard drive, featuring a higher speed recording, as compared with SSD, established in the mobile PC.The device allows you to comfortably work in conjunction with a text editor and web browser. In addition, the CPU performance enough to play the video with a resolution of 1280 × 720 (after properly adjusting the decoder). Naturally, the DVD also problems would arise.The quality of the display to the traditional budgetary TN-matrices: claimed response time of 5 ms, 160 ° viewing angles and brightness of 250 cd / m ². For office use of this enough, but nothing more.For demanding users to speed the company MSI has released NetOn AP1901 with dual-core Atom 330, but they have not yet been marketed.
