2G iPod touch to have Bluetooth capability unlocked by iPhone OS 3.0

Submitted by Saurabh7 on Wed, 29/04/2009 - 5:32pm

Looks like that Bluetooth chip in the iPod touch 2G we've always thought was for Nike+ suddenly got a lot more useful: Apple's Greg Joswiak said that Bluetooth can be "unlocked" on the device during the iPhone OS 3.0 Q&A session. That's two years of rumors put to rest, right there, and a solid move, seeing as three of the major 3.0 features are A2DP, wireless accessory control and peer-to-peer connections over Bluetooth. Any touch owners feeling more inclined to drop the $9.95 now?

Nokia N97

Submitted by Saurabh7 on Mon, 30/03/2009 - 9:05pm

Nokia surprised everyone with the touchscreen slider N97. It’s like an iPhone or a Storm. But dare I say... better? Nokia saw what people want nowadays and adapted. After trying out their first touchscreen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the Nokia brainiacs where ready for the next big thing. The Nokia N97 will certainly be the flagship smartphone of Nokia for quite a while. Here are some of its features, which will make you choose it

about the iPhone 3G

Submitted by master_mas on Mon, 01/12/2008 - 9:48am

bought it & loving it so far..
the iPod function alone is totally worth the price..
the multi-touch screen & motion sensor makes it the best fun-to-use mobile to use ever..
internet browsing is by far the best on any mobile..
..
some few flaws..
no MMS..
no Video Recording..
can't forward SMS (how stupid)
only connects bluetooth to headset & other iPhones..
..
i can access my Yahoo!Mail, Gmail, AOL & my company Email from any Wi-Fi spot..
..
my question is..?!
where there is no Wi-Fi network.. can i access email using Edge or 3G ..?! HOW ..?!
my friend has a HTC Diamond & he can do that..
iPhone asks to setup a VPN (virtual Private Network).. what, how the hell to do that..?!
& when i select VPN..
it shows L2TP, PPTP & IPSec.. which one to choose & configure..?!

Motherboard and graphics card makers cutting back

Submitted by genius_qa on Sat, 15/11/2008 - 9:14pm

Several motherboard and graphics card makers saw serious overstock problems in the second half this year and started to cut prices several months ago in order to clear their inventory due to falling demand.

In addition to clearing inventory, makers have also cutback production capacity and reduced component purchasing, and have also started laying off personnel or have suspended hiring to prevent cash shortages.

First-tier makers Asustek Computer, Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) have already cut capacity and started inventory control measures.

Nvidia to cut graphics card prices to counter AMD market share gains

Submitted by genius_qa on Sat, 15/11/2008 - 9:11pm

With AMD making gains in the discrete graphics card market – rising to around 40% in third-quarter 2008 according to a recent report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR) – Nvidia is planning to cut its graphics card prices in an attempt to curb further loss of market share, according to sources at graphics card makers.

AMD anticipates taking 50% of the market after reducing prices for its ATI Radeon HD 4000 series products, but to counter Nvidia has also made moves to cut prices for its GeForce GTX 200, 9800 GT and 9600 GT series.

I understand i would some how have to convert them...but what program can i use so that i end up with one single movie and not segments. Advise would be sooooooooo welcome!!!
