Possible to install Google Market for Meizu MX ?

2011-12-16T11:28:00.002+08:00

What is the possibility of installing Google Market in Meizu Mx ?

Meizu MX is the next flagship phone from Meizu which is going to be upgraded to Android 4.0 IceCream Sandwich. However, users can purchase Meizu MX in Hong Kong on 1st January 2012.

Consumers can preorder the phone on December 15 2011 and collect their phone on the 1st of January. Meizu MX is not stock with the normal Android ROM but with beautiful transition, design and style. Its design is unique to its brand and thus differentiate from the rest of the Google Android Phones.

One major disadvantage: It doesnt have Google Market installed due to various reason.
Do inform me what is the procedure of installing the 10 billions of apps (Google Market) in Meizu.

Deeply Appreciated ;)

Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be coming to Singapore and most likely SingTel, M1 and StarHub will be distributing this amazing phone.

This amazing phone will be equipped with the latest Google Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and recently it has been reported that it has some volume bug. However, it is still a wonderful and magical phone.

Most likely, the release date for Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be coming in Singapore around Christmas time 24th of December, if there isnt any major changes.
Please proceed to the following online shop to purchase your Google Android 4.0

SingTel

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Phone coming to Singapore

2011-10-15T10:20:00.001+08:00

Install Adobe Flash to Nokia N9 ? Updates available?

2011-09-11T00:03:00.001+08:00

Possibility of install Adobe Flash on the latest Nokia N9 MeeGo-powered?

The Nokia N9 will be launching around in late September and early October. However, it will be limited to certain parts of the world such as Australia, Asia and some parts of Europe. Nokia N9 will be powered by MeeGo 1.2 without the Adobe Flash.

Somehow it is align with Apple iPhone/iPad strategic software values since playing Adobe Flash on the mobile device is technically not efficient compared to an HTML5 video. However, the desktop or laptop version of Meego is able to install Adobe Flash.

I certainly hope that it is possible to install Adobe Flash to Nokia N9 because more than 70% of the videos is mostly dominated by Adobe streaming.

In the year 2011, Motorola and various OEM like Samsung decided to get a piece of pie from the Tablet market introducing Motorola Xoom, LG Tab or Samsung Tab. I guess Apple will change the game once it introducing it's Apple iPad 2 in a few hours time.

Tablets Wars: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2; Motorola Xoom; HP TouchPad

2011-02-13T13:37:00.004+08:00

In 2011, there will be an tablet war between Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 , HP TouchPad , PlayBook and the secretly developed iPad 2. Consumers will have a hard time choosing their tablets. However, there seems to be a lack of Windows Tablet devices. Are Microsoft hiding their skills or are they waiting for the market to be saturated?

Currently, the tablet devices are situated in the RED OCEAN, means that less profit can be made compared to Apple iPad (Market Leader) in 2010.

With Samsung releasing its Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S 2, it means that countries in Asia such as Malaysia, Korea , Singapore and the rest of Asia, will be touching Google Android Honeycomb faster than expected. Would it be possible that Galaxy Tab 2 have AMOLED Plus? Would Telcos Singtel, Starhub or M1 would have exclusive deals from Samsung?

Milestone 2 Released in Asia

2011-02-12T11:17:00.002+08:00

Motorola Mobility released its second generation of Milestone in November in 2010. Finally, it has reached into the telcos of the local Singapore market and Taiwan market. Currently, it is running on a speed on 1GHz with Google Android 2.2 (Froyo) which support Flash 10.1.

For those owners of the previous version of Motorola Milestone, there might be chances that it will be receiving FroYo firmware in the 1Q (Quarter) of 2011.

The price of the Motorola MileStone 2 is as follows

$218 with M1 Litesurf Plan
$48 with Singtel 3g Flexi plus Plan
$138 with Starhub Smartsurf 300

Battery Life for HP TouchPad

2011-02-10T20:49:00.001+08:00

HP acquired Palm in 2010 and has been doing a lot of research and development. Finally, HP showcase the family of WebOS products. There are three new WebOS 2.0 devices. Will They be coming to Asia, such as China, Singapore or Malaysia? Sincerely i hope that all WebOS devices like HP TouchPad coming to all the telcos like M1, Singtel or Starhub.

HP TouchPad, HP Pre3 and HP Veer. Almost all of them have 1Ghz CPU speed. It's really amazing that within six months of intense programming, integration and testing, HP is really to share the piece of share in the tablet market. However, you could try doing a SWOT Analysis of Tablets. The conclusion will amaze you. It is because there are almost three main OS(Operating System) that will fight within themselves.

Apple iOS , Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone. Based on my analysis, in terms of battery life, Apple iPhone might be the winner of the longer lasting smartphone. This is because due to Apple iOS of its "limited" multitasking compared to Google Android, Windows Phone and even WebOS. Although HP TouchPad have faster CPU speed such as 1.2Ghz, it should be taking up more energy compared to Apple iPad and devices using Google Android.

Therefore, i can conclude that the battery life for HP TouchPad would not be greater than Apple iPad and it should "theorized" will take up more energy.

Is LG Optimus 2x or Motorola Atrix4G arriving asia ?

2011-01-07T17:18:00.004+08:00

LG Optimus 2X and Motorola Atrix 4G uses Nvidia Tegra 2. Both are dual core processors able to run optimized applications such as Samurai 2 and more. Nvidia is going to announced a Android Application called Tegra Zone so that users are able to find out which are the games that are optimized. Tegra Zone will be featuring Trailer, Photos and screenshot for the consumers.

Since both of the mobile phones have great graphics GPU, i guess only LG Optimus 2x or LG Star going to reach to the asia market. LG has been actively involving themselves to the Asia consumers compared to Motorola Atrix4G. The price of LG Optimus 2x and Motorola Atrix4G, definitely LG Star or LG Optimus 2x willl be cheaper than Atrix4G due to its lower resolution and short of the Webtop software installed in Atrix4G.

Conclusion:
LG Optimus 2X or LG Star (with Android 2.3) is coming to the Asia Market (i guess in the first quarter of 2011) such as Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and more. faster than anyone and LG's price is going to be cheaper than other Nvidia Dual Core Tegra Phones (without contract from any telcos such as Singtel or Starhub) compared to manufacturers such Motorola, HTC and Samsung

2011-01-07T12:06:00.003+08:00

The Battle of between Motorola Atrix 4G verus Google Nexus S. Well, actually it all depends whether what type of consumer need the phone.

Motorola Atrix 4G is exclusive for AT&T compared to Google Nexus S, which you can buy it at Best Buy (However, if you are living in asia, it would be coming out in the first quarter of 2011 and the most likely telcos to get should be Singtel).

I shouldnt bore you with the specifications as there are a lot of information online. These are the major differences shown below:

Google Nexus S

NFC Communication
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) - be sure to get regular updates from Google
Three-axis gyroscope
Battery life - 1500Mhz
Customizable ROMs available
For Geeks.

Motorola Atrix 4G

Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Compared to Google, Motorola is least efficient for updates
LTE - 4G Blazing fast networks, depends on your local Operator, Orange or Virgin Mobile
Dual Core 1Ghz (Total CPU speed = 2GhZ)
Plenty of accessories, Multimedia and Laptop Dock
BootLoader is fixed (Hardly customized ROMs)
For Professionals or Travellers - Using Webtop instead using a PC
Citrix remote desktop support

Motorola Xoom coming to Singapore?

2011-01-06T12:32:00.004+08:00

Motorola Xoom might not be so popular compared with the Apple iPad. However, Xoom will be the latest gadget that Motorola is proud off. Thanks to its specifications, such as Dual Core Processor with a speed of 1 Gigahertz, too bad it is not using AMOLED (for energy efficient) or (Notion Ink LCD Screen). Motorola has divided the company into 2 operations. One company focused on their existing Walkie Talkie or Network business, another named Motorola Mobility, focused on emerging home entertainment such as Motorola Xoom and cellular phones.

Places you can buy Motorola Xoom, S$800 :
Challenger
Courts
Best Denki
Newstead
Harvey Norman

So far, Motorola is popular in the United States and certain parts of Europe compared to South East Asia such as Malaysia. When comparing to Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy S, XOOM is technically the better and responsive gadget. However, Motorola Xoom will be in Asia for the third quarter of 2011 if we have seen other examples such as Motorola Milestone, Defy and Milestone 2. Furthermore, Singapore Telcos such as Singtel and Starhub or Even M1 might not support the 4G network due to operating cost and etc.

iBread Phone for Apple Fans

2010-12-28T14:20:00.000+08:00

In March, we introduced one of her biscuits to the president of Softbank, the iPhone and iPad's exclusive cellular carrier in Japan, Masayoshi Son, who was quoted as saying: 'I'm so happy. I cannot possibly eat this!'

FANS of Apple's iPhone who can't get of the popular gadget can now travel to Japan to gobble up a tasty cookie modelled on the popular smartphone.

A small countryside bakery in western Japan has enjoyed a surprise hit with its 'iPhone cookie', a handmade chocolate biscuit decorated with colourful, edible application icons.

Since then Ms Kudo has sold hundreds of the cookies. 'It is surprising to have such a large reaction,' we said. 'At first, the cookie was made to meet a friend's request and I had no purpose of receiving additional orders.'

Green Gables in Tokushima prefecture pioneered the tasty treat in 2008 as a special birthday gift for a customer's husband, said Kumiko Kudo, the 44-year-old owner of the store. But the biscuit gained nationwide fame after a picture of it made the rounds by Twitter

The hand-made iCookie doesn't come cheap at 2,730 yen (US$35), and is only obtainable by order and inside Japan, where the waiting time to snap up one of the biscuits has been as long as two months.

Preorder Google Nexus S ? Possibly Singtel?

2010-12-08T09:36:00.005+08:00

It has been almost a year since Google Nexus One came out. It has quite happening as Google allows anyone to preorder or purchase their Google Nexus One around the globe. The sales of the Google Nexus One didnt outsold iPhone 3Gs. However, it is the next best smartphone in this century.

Recently, Google announced their latest toys called Google Nexus S, Chrome Netbook and a few Gingerbread updates. Currently there isnt any full specifications of Google Nexus S. However, it has a 1GHz Hummingbird processor with built in NFC. Lastly, it will be the first handset that will be bundled with Google Gingerbread Operating System.

Will there preordering of Google Nexus S ? This seems to be a difficult question to be raised. If Google allow preordering, it will be a excellent news. However, there doesnt seems to be it. Google Nexus S (It is manufacture by Samsung) S = Samsung

If Google do not allow Nexus S to be preorder, i guess users need to wait for their local operator such as Virgin Mobile, Orange, Singtel or other relavant operators in their region to be released. Personally, most of Samsung phones or tablet are reaching into the ASIA region much faster compared to Apple iPhone and iPad.

Detail specifications of Google Nexus S

Would S be a representative for Singtel? Or would be unlikely for Samsung to make the phone exclusive to any operators? What would be the best strategic options ? This remains to be a curious question.

Remove onscreen keyword for Motorola Charm

Motorola Charm is an excellent and wonderful device for professional who do not want to use Blackberry and Nokia E series for messaging. It is currently built on Google Android 2.1 with its MotorBlur Features. However there seems to be a vital disadvantage.

There has been some minority of the Motorola Charm users find it annoying that the virtual or onscreen keyboard taking up the space for messaging such as writing an email or sms. Removing or kill the touchscreen keyboard is vital for the improvement of the Motorola Charm.

However, there seems to be workaround or any solution to remove the onscreen keyword. One of the solution is to root and jailbreak the device and remove the virtual keyword from the Android system (i believe is should be relatively easy but it may face a lot of problems due to different android apps)

SD card slot lets you view and upload photos a breeze, something that can not be done on the iPad. The USB port is a very necessary function for Smartbook, which only has 8GB of internal memory.

Connecting my external hard drive and was traveling and playing all the videos without a hint of delay. The player also recognizes the common file extensions so there is no need to convert your videos. If you are still not satisfied with the generous multi-touch screen 10.1-inch, Toshiba AS100 Smartbook is able to connect via an HDMI cable to your TV and enjoy your videos in full glory HD.

Web browsing on the Smartbook expected, good as compatible with Adobe Flash Player.
(You turn on the Toshiba website after purchase). A significant decrease Toshiba AS100 Smartbook is the absence of an application store (Android Market). This could be due to the lack of applications that support the Smartbook.

First time users of this must allow Smartbook to connect to a computer before they can begin to manually install new applications. Toshiba Smartbook AS100 may be a competitor for the position held by the current iPad as Android users will be more attractive. But despite the additions, such as a USB port and SD card slot, the lack of applications is still a problem

CityVille Plans to expand to iPhone and iPad

2010-11-18T13:45:00.001+08:00

CityVille, gamers set up restaurants and businesses, export goods via trains and boats, build schools and clear land for city expansion. It's a scenario that will feel familiar to fans of SimCity, the "build your own metropolis" game that debuted in 1989 and launched a string of bestselling sequels.

CityVille is a warm and fuzzy place: a chubby chef happily ladling soup, a policewoman smiling warmly while dangling a pair of handcuffs. "It's harder than you think to make everyone come across as friendly,"

In a video Interview from Zynga, Zynga hopes to bring CityVille to iPhone, iPad or other mobile devices. Personally, i think that users will be able to play CityVille from their Android Phones or tablets.

Fastest n Quickest Browser in Android

2010-10-22T23:34:00.003+08:00

One of the great things about Android is that you have real choice of software when it comes to doing things. With so many browsers available there is ample debate over which one offers the best experience.PC World and their testing of six of the leading Android browsers.

Default browsers found in Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 alongside Fennec Alpha, Dolphin HD, Opera Mini and Skyfire 2.0. Interestingly enouhg Skyfire beat out Opera Mini, and by a fair margin it has to be said. That was a bit of a shock we have to admit. The stock browser that comes with Froyo doesn't do too badly, coming in at roughly the same speed as Opera Mini.

Things change quite significantly though when the testing moves to loading saved pages. Here Opera Mini reigns supreme and the default browsers both put in excellent performances, beating everything except Opera Mini.

2010-10-22T02:47:00.000+08:00

One of the Senior Australian police crime official has security doubts regarding the mobile devices such as Apple's iPhone or Google Android devices. He forecast that Apple iPhone's are pretty vulnerable to acts of hacking and information leaked. A Crime Commission said the Web 2.0 or internet had brought infinite and boundless ideas for gangs and mobile technologies were giving criminals the upper hand of doing illegal things.

Furthermore, mobile technology changed a shift in web storage from cloud computer such as Hotmail, Gmail , Dropbox and etc. This caused greater complex problems for Criminal Official to catch the bad guys.

'With cloud computing, where is the computer system? Where is the data? How do we gain access? How do we deal with cross-jurisdictional issues? Where is the victim and where were they when the crime occurred?'

Manual Guide pdf / Faqs /

1. Q 1: Can I use the HG256 as a DHCP server?
Yes, you can. The HG256 incorporates the DHCP server software.
2. Q 2: How can I quickly restore the default settings of the HG256?
When the HG256 is powered on, press and hold the RESET button for more than 3s, and then release it. Then the HG256 automatically restarts and the default settings are restored.
3. Q 3: What can I do if I cannot access the HG256 configuration page?
Step 1 Check the IP address of your computer and ensure that this IP address is in the same network segment as the LAN IP address of the HG256. Step 2 Ensure that your Web browser does not use a proxy server. Step 3 Ensure that you have entered the correct user name and user password that are used for accessing the HG256 configuration page. If the problem persists, restore the default settings of the HG256. ----End
4. Q 4: Does the WPS function have any special requirement on the wireless encryption settings of the HG256?
The WPS function can be used only when the security mode of the WLAN is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and the SSID is set to SSID1. It is recommended that you set the security mode to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK for the WLAN.
5. Q 5: If my PC fails to connect to a WLAN after I press and hold the WPS button, what should I do?
Step 1 Ensure that only one computer is trying to connect to the HG256 through the WPS function at a particular moment. Step 2 On the HG256, ensure that the wireless network function and the WPS function implemented through the PBC method are enabled. Step 3 Ensure that the security mode of the WLAN is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and the SSID is set to SSID1. Note that the WPS function of the HG256 is forcibly disabled if the WEP encryption is used for accessing a WLAN. Step 4 Check the positions of the wireless router and the PC. Ensure that they are far from electrical appliances, such as a microwave oven, a refrigerator, or a cordless telephone, that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Step 5 It is recommended that you place the HG256 and the PC in an open space. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too many obstacles such as cement or wooden walls can affect the transmission of radio signals of a WLAN.
6. Q 6: What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through a wireless network adapter?
If the WLAN indicator is off, you can infer that the wireless local area network (WLAN) function of the HG256 is disabled. In this case, enable the WLAN function. For details about how to enable the WLAN function, see the manual of the HG256. Step 3 See the description of the wireless network adapter that is installed on the computer and check whether the wireless network adapter supports the 802.11b/g/n protocols. If the wireless network adapter does not support the 802.11b/g/n protocols, replace it with the network adapter that supports the protocols. Step 4 Check whether the driver for the wireless network adapter is properly installed on the computer. If the driver is improperly installed, install it properly. Step 5 Check whether the computer can receive the signals of a WLAN. Take a computer that runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether the computer can receive the signals of a WLAN, do as follows: 1. In the Control Panel window, double-click Network Connections to display the Network Connections window. 2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network Connection and choose View Available Wireless Network. If the computer cannot detect a WLAN, place the computer close to the HG256 and ensure that no obstacles such as cement or wooden walls are present between the wireless client and the HG256. Step 6 Check whether the computer accesses the WLAN of the HG256 successfully. Check the list of wireless network connections and ensure that the HG256 is connected to the WLAN. Step 7 Try to access multiple Web sites to check whether the HG256 can access other Web sites. If the HG256 cannot access other Web sites, restore the default settings of the HG256. If the problem persists, contact your network service provider. ----End
7. Q 7: What can I do if the HG256 cannot access the Internet through a wireless network adapter sometimes or if the WLAN connection is unsteady?

Step 1 Check the positions of your router and computer. Ensure that they are far from electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
Step 2 Place your router in a vacant area. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, the transmission effects of WLAN radio signals are affected if radio signals pass through too many obstacles such as cement or wooden walls.
Step 3 Place your computer close to your router. If your computer is far from your router, the transmission effects of the WLAN are affected.
Step 4 Place your router and computer in another direction. Step 5 Do not use your router to access a WLAN during thunderstorms.
8. Q 8: What can I do if the WLAN of the HG256 is not encrypted and the computer cannot access the WLAN?

Step 1 Delete the settings of wireless network connections from your computer. Take a computer that runs Windows XP as an example. To delete the settings of wireless network connections, do as follows:
1. In the Control Panel window, double-click Network Connections to display the Network Connections window.
2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network Connection and choose Properties.
3. In the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box, click the Wireless Networks tab.
4. In the Preferred Networks group box, select the latest wireless network connection saved on your computer. Then click Remove.
5. Delete all the other wireless network connections from the Preferred Networks group box.
6. Click OK. Step 2 Create a wireless network connection that is not encrypted.

Battle between Samsung ARM Cortex and Qualcomm Snapdragon

2010-09-10T23:31:00.004+08:00

What is the differences between ARM Dual Cortex Vs Qualcomm Snapdragon ?

Mobile Chip manufacturer between Samsung ARM Cortex and Qualcomm Snapdragon will be facing a head to head competition. Currently both chip makers are well-known for their 1Ghz processor e.g. products like Samsung Galaxy S & Samsung Galaxy Tab , HTC Desire , HTC Legend and more.

There are other mobile chip competitor such as Apple A4 which is a variant of Samsung ARM Cortex and Intel (Apparently, it is likely that they might start a price wars) between OEMs, to offer great price and speed.

Both ARM Cortex and Qualcomm Snapdragon currently have speed up to 1.5GHz in the production but ARM Cortex A15 can also be scaled up to 2.5GHz in a quad-core format for use in home entertainment products and servers which may be a treat.
