HP launches Windows 8 hybrid, Ultrabook





















HP became the latest to announce its Windows 8 portfolio by launching the Envy X2 hybrid and the Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 in India. The company has also launched the HP Envy 23 TouchSmart all-in-one.

The Envy X2 is an ultrathin Intel Atom powered Windows 8 notebook. Remove its keyboard and the X2 becomes a 11.6-inch tablet. Docked to the keyboard the device promises up to 14 hours of battery life.

The device comes with Beats Audio, HD webcam, an 8-MP camera and NFC. Without the keyboard, this hybrid weighs just 700 grams.

The Envy Ultrabook is a 14-inch device with a multi-touch screen and 3rd gen Intel Core i5 processor. Though an ultrabook, the device weighs 2.16 kg and promises 8 hours of battery life. Both the X2 and the ultrabook have been priced at Rs 59,990 and will be available from January 2013.

The Envy 23 AiO comes with a Intel Core i5 processor on a 23-inch HD display. There is also a substantial 1TB storage on this slim device. The touchscreen can sense up to 10 fingers at a time and there is also a remote for wireless control. The AiO is priced at Rs 71,990 and will be available in stores this month.

Angry Birds maker hopes Bad Piggies will help it fly again


Angry Birds-maker Rovio Entertainment will be hoping to prove it's no one-hit wonder when it launches Bad Piggies on Thursday, just as players seem to be tiring of the game they've been addicted to for the past three years.
The new game will feature pigs which strike back at the birds who attacked them with slingshots in Angry Birds. A hit on app stores would give the Finnish company a boost as it looks to a possible stock market flotation next year.
Some analysts put its market value at between $6 billion and $9 billion, nearly on a par with another top Finnish tech name, phone maker Nokia Oyj.
Rovio was founded in 2003 and became a global phenomenon after it launched Angry Birds for Apple Inc's iPhone in late 2009. The highly-addictive game helped Rovio's sales jump 10-fold to $100 million last year, a fraction of the 38.7 billion euros ($50.2 billion) which Nokia chalked up. It has remained at the top of gaming charts, with more than a billion downloads, and had 200 million monthly users at the end of 2011. That compares for instance with the 240 million attracted by offerings from US-based Zynga Inc, such as the Facebook -based Farmville.
But there are signs Rovio is losing its momentum. Amazing Alex, the first non-Angry Birds game in more than two years from Rovio, hit No 1 on download charts in July but has since slumped to outside the top 50, while Angry Birds Space has dropped fast from the top-grossing lists.
"Rovio needs a big hit right now. Over the past two months, Rovio's revenue-generation ability has suddenly slipped badly," said analyst Tero Kuittinen from Finnish mobile analytics firm Alekstra.
Brand power
In Bad Piggies, instead of shooting with a slingshot, players build vehicles that help the characters get the birds' eggs.
The company said it was hoping the new game would breathe additional life into its brand. "We see Bad Piggies as a long-term brand-building exercise. In three years from now we want to see Angry Birds and Bad Piggies as strong vibrant brands out there," Petri Jarvilehto, head of gaming at Rovio, said in an interview.
Rovio is also expanding into merchandising, modelling its long-term strategy on Walt Disney Co by selling a range of stuffed animals and other toys, as well as branded playground equipment which then bolster branding for its games.
If successful, the company says it could go public as soon as next year, offering a possible payday to its backers.
Last year, Rovio raised $42 million from venture capital firms including Accel Partners, which previously backed Facebook and Baidu, and Skype founder Niklas Zennstroem's venture capital firm, Atomico Ventures. Last year some 30% of turnover came from items other than games, but it is the group's on-screen inventiveness which is the crucial factor in its prospects. "Rovio needs to re-establish its reputation for creating hits with legs (staying power)," Kuittinen said. "There is no doubt that the pig game will hit number 1 at launch. But it has to stay in top ten for half a year to erase the doubts that the fast fade of Amazing Alex has created."

HTC launches 8X, 8S smartphones

Taiwan's HTC unveiled its first smartphones powered by Microsoft's Windows on Wednesday, in a boost for the US software giant's efforts to break into a market dominated by Apple and Google. HTC and Microsoft previewed the 8X and 8S handsets in New York, boasting that they feature "iconic design," studio-quality sound and "incredible camera capabilities."
The companies said the HTC devices would be available from November through more than 150 carriers in at least 50 countries
"We've been inspired by Windows Phone 8 to create new smartphones that give the platform the iconic design and personality it deserves," said Peter Chou, HTC's chief executive.
"Windows Phone has clearly emerged as one of the top mobile ecosystems and is competitive against any other smartphone platform in the world."
Among the carriers participating are US-based AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, Europe's Orange, O2 Telefonica, MTS, Three UK, T-Mobile and Vodafone and Asia-Pacific carriers Chunghwa Telecom, Optus, Singapore Telecommunications, Smartone, Telstra and Vodafone Australia.
The news comes two weeks after Finland-based Nokia unveiled its smartphones powered by Windows Phone 8, Microsoft's upgraded mobile operating system that aims to compete with Apple's iOS used on the iPhone and a multitude of Google Android handsets.
"Pairing HTC's beautiful new Windows Phone 8X and 8S with our brand is a big milestone for both companies," said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft chief executive.
"Together we are offering customers a clear choice and a truly unique experience. I'm thrilled to take our longstanding partnership to the next level."
The HTC devices have a design based on the Windows Phone Live Tiles and will come in colors including "California blue," graphite black, flame red, and "limelight yellow."
HTC will use and ultra-wide angle front-facing camera that allows up to four people and more to be captured at once, which also allows for high-definition video capture.
It said its Beats Audio "provides authentic, studio-quality sound that delivers the spirit of the original recording."
The phones will have displays of at least four inches, matching or exceeding that of the new iPhone 5, and will use the newest version of Corning's lightweight Gorilla Glass.

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 official: Windows 8, NFC and a fingerprint reader, arrives in October

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 official Windows 8, NFC, a fingerprint reader and an optional keyboard
If you've been paying attention, you not only knew Lenovo was readying a ThinkPad-branded Windows 8 tablet, but you probably already noticed all the leaked specs, too. Indeed, we first saw this thing all the way back at Computex, where Lenovo gave us a fairly hands-off peek, taking care to conceal most of the device's specs. Later, it turned up in the FCC and in official documents, letting us know the slate would actually be arriving quite soon.
And here it is! As we previously reported, this is a 10-inch slate running Windows 8 and an Intel Atom processor. And yes, it will replace the current ThinkPad Tablet, which runs Android. Other key specs include a 1,366 x 768 IPS display, a 10-hour battery, optional 3G / 4G, micro-HDMI output and a pair of 2MP / 8MP cameras. For the most part, that cellular connection will take the form of HSPA+ but in the US, at least, the tablet will be available on AT&T's LTE network. And, as we learned in more recent leaks, this 9.8mm-thick tablet makes room for an NFC radio, along with a fingerprint reader and a pen, which can be stowed in a slot on the tablet. Additionally, it will be sold alongside an optional keyboard, as well as a dock with three USB ports, HDMI-out and an Ethernet jack.
The one thing we don't know? The price. So far, Lenovo is only saying the tablet will be available in October, when Windows 8 starts shipping. For now, we've got a mix of glossy press shots for your viewing pleasure, along with some hands-on photos we took in advance of tonight's announcement.

Sony Xperia Mint details leaked

XperiaMintLeak-900-75

Another well stocked high-end smartphone

Details of another Sony handset have made their way onto the web, this time surrounding the Sony Xperia Mint.
We first got wind of the Mint name back in January, when a leaked roadmap of Sony handsets for 2012 turned up, with the Mint pegged for a September arrival and a price tag of 562€ (around £440/$680).
According to Russian site Mobile-review, the Xperia Mint (or Xperia ST30p as it's also known) packs a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch HD (1280x720) display, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, a decent sounding 13MP camera with LED flash and micro SD slot.
IFA arrival?
The Xperia Mint looks to slide into Sony's handset range alongside the Xperia S (and Xperia Ion in the US), which sport a similar array of specifications, so similar in fact we struggle to see why we'd need the Mint at all.
This could well be an indication that it won't be making its way over to the UK or US, with Sony focussing the Xperia Mint on other markets instead – but it's likely to make an appearance at IFA 2012 in September, so keep an eye out for more information.
We've contacted Sony asking for more information on the Xperia Mint and we'll update this article once we hear back.

Is Android an easy target for hackers?

Hacking experts have demonstrated ways to attack Android smartphones using methods they said work on virtually all such devices in use today, despite recent efforts by search engine giant Google to boost protection.
Experts showed off their prowess at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, where some 6,500 corporate and government security technology workers gathered to learn about emerging threats to their networks.
“Google is making progress, but the authors of malicious software are moving forward,” said Sean Schulte of Trustwave’s SpiderLabs.
Google spokeswoman Gina Scigliano declined to comment on the security concerns or the new research.
Hackers say Android is easy to hack
Accuvant researcher Charlie Miller demonstrated a method for delivering malicious code to Android phones using a new Android feature known as near field communications.
“I can take over your phone,” Miller said.
Near field communications allow users to share photos with friends, make payments or exchange other data by bringing Android phones within a few centimeters of similarly equipped devices such as another phone or a payment terminal.
Miller said he figured out how to create a device the size of a postage stamp that could be stuck in an inconspicuous place such as near a cash register at a restaurant. When an Android user walks by, the phone would get infected, said Miller.
He spent five years as a global network exploit analyst at the US National Security Agency, where his tasks included breaking into foreign computer systems.
Miller and another hacking expert, Georg Wicherski of CrowdStrike, have also infected an Android phone with a piece of malicious code that Wicherski unveiled in February.
That piece of software exploits a security flaw in the Android browser that was publicly disclosed by Google’s Chrome browser development team, according to Wicherski.
Google has fixed the flaw in Chrome, which is frequently updated, so that most users are now protected, he said.
But Wicherski said Android users are still vulnerable because carriers and device manufacturers have not pushed those fixes or patches out to users.
Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer of the security firm BeyondTrust, said: “Google has added some great security features, but nobody has them.”
Experts say iPhones and iPads don’t face the same problem because Apple has been able to get carriers to push out security updates fairly quickly after they are released. Two Trustwave researchers told attendees about a technique they discovered for evading Google’s “Bouncer” technology for identifying malicious programs in its Google Play Store.
They created a text-message blocking application that uses a legitimate programming tool known as java script bridge. Java script bridge lets developers remotely add new features to a program without using the normal Android update process.
Companies including Facebook and LinkedIn use java script bridge for legitimate purposes, according to Trustwave, but it could also be exploited maliciously.
To prove their point, they loaded malicious code onto one of their phones and remotely gained control of the browser. Once they did that, they could force it to download more code and grant them total control.
“Hopefully Google can solve the problem quickly,” said Nicholas Percoco, senior vice president of Trustwave’s SpiderLabs. “For now, Android is the Wild West.”

Google launches scientific calculator

Google calculator
Next time, you need to do a quick calculation, you can head to Google. The search giant has added a scientific calculator to its varied array of features.

The company's new 34-button calculator appears the moment you type in the word "calculator" or a mathematical expression say "4x5" into the search box.

The calculator gives users ability to do everything from arithmetic to trigonometric calculations. The calculator has functions for calculating sines, cosines, square roots and tangents as well as also dedicated buttons for Pi and Euler's number.

Not just this, Users can also use Google's voice search feature -- found in mobile version and in Chrome browser -- to do calculations without actually touching keyboard.

The search giant has also announced its Panda algorithm update (version 3.9) via its official Twitter account.

Launched in February 2011, Panda is aimed to lower the ranks of low-quality websites and list high-quality sites close to the top of the search results.

Microsoft unveils new Office suite





At a press event in San Francisco, Microsoft has unveiled the new Office suite, sporting a new look in line with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
One of the key features of the new Office is cloud integration using SkyDrive. Users will be able to sync key settings across multiple devices after logging in to SkyDrive. You can continue working on the same document using a different device, as well as share it with others.
Microsoft also showed off how users can collaborate on Office through social network integration. For example, you can see if your Skype contacts are available from any application in the new Office suite and make Skype calls directly from within Outlook. There's also the ability to collaborate on documents through Microsoft's Lync application.
Good news for tablet users: A Microsoft RT version of Office for ARM-based tablets will be included for free on RT devices, including the Surface. According to CNET, Ballmer says that Office on a tablet will be an "uncompromised experience" and that it wouldn't be a "junior version" of the full PC edition.
The new Office will have touchscreen capabilities, where users can use taps, swipes, and other gestures to create presentations. You can also draw on your presentations using a stylus.
Meanwhile, the subscription-based Office 365 will now come with three tiers--Office 365 Home Premium, Office 365 Small Business Premium and Office 365 ProPlus--with pricing information to be announced later.
Microsoft also unveiled a new version of its notetaking app, OneNote, which will have touch, pen and keyboard input.
Although Office is currently being used by more than one billion people, it faces stiff competition from cheaper alternatives, such as Google's suite of Web-based office applications.

Hands-on: Nokia Lumia 610

New Delhi: We first heard about Lumia 610 in February. It is a phone that Nokia has specifically designed for price-sensitive markets like India and China. On Friday, the device was launched in India.

Nokia Lumia 610 is the cheapest of the Lumia phones, all of which are powered by Windows Phone 7.5 aka Mango. Its primary aim is to compete with the bevy of budget Android phones that have managed to get attention of customers who don't want to spend more than Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 on their smartphone. To make sure that Lumia 610 has a relatively low price, Nokia has made several 'compromises' in the hardware. But at the same time, the company says the device offers the full Windows Phone experience.

We spent some time with Lumia 610 at its launch event. While you will have to wait a bit for the full review, for now we can share our first impression of the device.

For its price — Rs 12,999 is the official tag but market price can be lower — Lumia 610 feels well built. It has a glossy plastic cover with a large screen of 3.7 inch. Also, there is faux chrome frame around the screen, which makes the device look better than what its price indicates. Another surprise, as far as the build quality is concerned, is the presence of touch-sensitive buttons. On Lumia 710, Nokia had used physical buttons, which looked out of place. On Lumia 610, Nokia doesn't make the mistake.

The phone is powered by an 800Mhz processor and has 256MB RAM. It has only one camera that can shoot 5 megapixel images. Internal storage is 8GB and there is no option to add a micro SD card. The screen that has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels — very good for its price — is not as bright as we would have liked it to be, but it's not bad either.

The relatively modest hardware means Windows Phone 7.5 user interface is not as fluid as it is on Lumia 800 or Lumia 710. However, the OS hides lags well. This means users may have to wait a while — 1 or 2 seconds — before apps launch but unlike many budget Android it doesn't manifest on the screen in the form of very low frame rates. We opened several websites on Lumia 610 and the browsing experience was good. Pinch to zoom worked well, though opening too many apps in the background or too many tabs in the browser did slow down the phone.

For now, we can say Lumia 610 looks to be a pretty decent device compared to other smartphones with similar price tag. But there are still many unknowns like battery life, camera performance, compatibility with apps and how the phone's hardware holds up when used for longer durations. We will advice you to wait for our full review before taking out your wallet and pulling the trigger.

Karbonn to launch Android Jelly Bean-based tablet in September

NEW DELHI: Mobile device maker Karbonn on Thursday said it will invest Rs 445 crore in brand promotion and product development in the next two years, and expects revenues to touch Rs 3,500 crore by 2013-14.
 "We are extending our portfolio to targcustomers of high socio-economic class. We will continue as 'value for money' brand. Our estimate is that we should have Rs 2,500 crore in revenues this fiscal and Rs 3,500 crore in FY'14," Karbonn Mobiles MD Pradeep Jain told reporters.
The company will invest Rs 195 crore in product development and marketing expenses during the ongoing financial year and Rs 250 crore in next financial year.

Samsung Galaxy Chat Phone
Scrolling down the Galaxy lineup, the new Samsung Galaxy Chat can be seen seated on the lower end of the shelf. Going by the specifications sheet, it’s a very basic smartphone crafted for those who find themselves texting or chatting quite frequently.
Centered on social networking, the device sports a full QWERTY keypad as well as a 3-inch, 240 x 320p TFT LCD touchscreen which surfaces a virtual keyboard with Swype technology. It is powered by Android 4.0 and an 850MHz application processor. The 4GB of internal memory can be expanded up to 32GB via a microSD card and there’s a 1,200mAh battery providing all the steam.
“Navigating the phone’s app menus is a breeze with more visual icons incorporating 3D effects, a fully customizable Favorites tray, and widgets that you can resize or reposition according to your preferences. You also have the ability to launch the camera or view your notifications directly from the lock screen; and multitasking is made even easier with features such as the ability to swipe apps to instantly dismiss them,” says Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy Chat
Navigating the Touchwiz UX, users should be able to access various Google Mobile services as well as Samsung applications. For business-centric requirements, the Quick Office app is present to allow opening and editing of Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents. On the connectivity front, this Samsung phone has been loaded with USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0.
Even though the company hasn’t been very forthcoming with the Samsung Galaxy Chat price, we do know that it will start rolling out in Spain in July. Latin America, Europe, Middle East, China, Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia will welcome it thereafter.

Particle resembling the Higgs boson discovered, say CERN scientists

Particle resembling the Higgs boson discovered, say CERN scientistsPhysicists working at the CERN laboratory on the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS), claim to have discovered a particle which resembles the elusive Higgs boson popularly known as the God particle which is the key to understanding the formation of the universe in a way. At a seminar held at CERN, the ATLAS experiment – one of the seven particle detector experiments at the LHC – presented its preliminary results observing a new particle in the mass region of around 125-126 GeV.
“We observe in our data clear signs of a new particle, at the level of 5 sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV,” said ATLAS experiment spokesperson Fabiola Gianotti. Which means that scientists are 99.999 percent sure of the results or a false positive probability of 1 in 9 trillion!
Although the results are preliminary, based on data collected in 2011 and 2012 with the 2012 data still under analysis. The complete results will be presented towards the end of the year when the LHC will have completed more experiments with more data. The announcement definitely points to a new particle's discovery which fits the description of the Higgs boson.
In a leaked video from CERN, which is now taken off from the CERN website, Joe Incandela, the CMS experiment spokesperson says, “We've observed a new particle... we have quite strong evidence that there's something there with a mass roughly 130 times the mass of the proton.”
According to the Standard Model – a theoretical model which describes the fundamental particles and forces that control the Universe - the Higgs boson provides mass to all other particles. The experiments being conducted at the LHC aim to collide protons travelling towards each other at the speed of light. The debris that would be formed after the collision would be examined. Here is a graphical video of the same collision.


Here is the video that was taken off by CERN but which is still available on the net. Do also check out the live webcast of the news conference announcing the discovery, here.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket


samsung galaxy pocket2-336.jpgBudget smartphones are those that hold consumers’ hands as they transit from feature phones to the smartphones. They offer a “smart OS” and features that give users a tip of the iceberg view of the potential of owning a smartphone. They may skim on certain features but then again, you get what you pay for.
Today we have with us the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, an entry-level Android smartphone that’s small enough to fit in anyone’s palm.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Pocket one of those good things that comes in small packages, or are you better off overlooking this device?
Design and Build
One look at the device and it looks like a mini Samsung Galaxy Y. The device is really small and fits in the palm. The body of the device is plastic but with a classy enough finish considering the price point.
On the face, the device has a 2.8-inch display with a resolution of 240x320 which is the standard resolution found on devices with display sizes up to 3-inches. Below the touchscreen, the device has the menu, home and back button. In terms of connectivity, the device has the headphones jack and the micro USB port on the top of the device and the volume rocker rests on the left. The right of the device houses the on/off/sleep/wake button. The rear of the device houses the 2MP camera without a flash and it compromises on a front facing snapper.
All in all the build of the device is sturdy, small and in a word, cute. It wouldn't be a surprise if you mistake the device for a toy. It is really light too, weighing in at a mere 97 grams.
Features and Specifications
Straight out of the box, the device is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread skinned with the TouchWiz UI. Under the hood, an 832MHz processor powers the device. The device also has Wi-Fi along with Bluetooth 3.0.
The hardware under the hood is basic and just enough to run the OS and some apps. The other budget Android devices that boast of similarbasic features are the Micromax A50 Ninja and the Spice MI 350N.
In terms of preloaded apps, the device comes with the same ones you get on other budget Samsung Android phones. You get Social Hub, Samsung Apps and Polaris Viewer, apart from access to the Google Play store to download the plethora of apps available.
TouchWiz is quite good as a skin. For those of you that don't like it can always download third party skins from the Play store.
You can run most of the apps on the device but don't expect stellar performance. Angry Birds Space took its own sweet time to load but once it loaded, the game ran very smoothly.
Performance
In terms of raw benchmark performance, the Samsung Galaxy Pocket performed surprisingly well. It was neck to neck with the Spice MI 350N.
In Quadrant the Galaxy Pocket scored 885 as compared to the Spice MI 350N that scored 801. In AnTuTu, it scored 1878 as compared to the closest runner up, the Spice MI 350N that scored 1704. In GL Benchmark - Egypt Standard however, the Spice MI 350N blew the Galaxy Pocket out the window. The Pocket scored 2801 whereas the Spice scored 3057.
In terms of the multimedia performance, the Galaxy Pocket is a mixed bag. YouTube ran extremely well on the device. The audio was very clear but the visuals were a bit disappointing. Considering the hardware under the hood of the device we didn't expect it to play anything above .3GP videos and low res MP4’s.
The Galaxy Pocket’s 2.8-inch display has a resolution of 240 x 320, which is average. The display was clear, colours were good but the screen lacks vividness. Under direct sunlight however, the device is susceptible to a lot of glare.
The speakers on the other hand of the Galaxy Pocket are quite good. Running apps like Angry Birds was a treat as the audio was immersing and loud. We played a bit of Nickelback as well through the device and the speakers were loud even though there was loss of clarity at high volumes. Playing games and running apps on the device was smooth even though some apps took their own sweet time to load. Don't expect the device to be handle multitasking as the hardware under the hood is bare bones.
The surprise element of the device is however the keyboard. Since the screen is so small, we thought that the onscreen keyboard would be cramped and cumbersome but we were proven wrong. Even though it is small, the typing experience is better than the HTC Explorer and quite good. Errors during typing were few and far between.
The device houses a 2MP rear snapper without a flash whose performance can be considered average. You will rely heavily on ambient lighting for most of your shots, as the night shots are plain dark. The device doesn't have a dedicated camera button but this really isn’t missed. The camera app gives you access to a bench of scene modes and settings, which is nice.
Coming to the core function of a phone – making calls. The device is a single SIM phone and boasts of 3G capabilities. The call quality from the device is very good. The audio at both ends was clear and the loudspeaker performance was solid as well.
The device boasts of a 1200 mAh battery. In real world usage, the device will last you about one and half days. We ran a bunch of apps, sent some social networking messages, and made an average number of calls - the Galaxy Pocket still had some juice towards the end of the next day.
Bottom Line
The Samsung Galaxy Pocket is a decent phone considering the price point and the features on offer. The device has a good build, and the features and specifications will provide you with an entry-level Android experience. The screen size may be too small for some but in that case you can take a look at the Spice MI 350N. If you are considering picking up your first budget Android device, this phone can definitely be on your list.
