Arcade for Nokia Symbian Series Smart Phones

Preparation
There's also a version of MAME for smart phones based on the Series 60 operating system. Like the version for P800 and P900 phones, the Nokia version is called EMame,To be able to play those old favorites from your youth, all you have to do this install the software on your phone and load the ROM. To get started, connect your phone to your computer using USB, Bluetooth or infrared.


Download the Software
You now need to Fire up your browser and head over to www.harmonicode.com/emame
to download the latest version of Emame for Series 60 phones. The software can recreate over 1000 old arcade games on your phone, and is a great way to relive those classics that played in the days when you used to wear shorts.

Install in the Phone
Now that you’ve downloaded the hle, you need to start up the Nokia PC Connectivity suite. When the menu appears, click on the Install Applications icon and then, when the mini application loads, make sure your phone is shown in the My Phone box. Locate the
EMame tile in the left—hand window and click on the green arrow to install it.

Configuration
A message will pop upon your phone telling you that the application is untrusted. Just click on the Yes soft key to continue. Then select PH.Mem to install Emame in your phone’s memory. After few seconds the application will be fully installed, now restart your phone.

Downloading the ROM
To use the emulator to play games, you need the ROM files that were used in the original arcade machines. Start up your browser and head to Google, Do a search for mario.zip, and when you locate the ROM file, download it to your desktop. Then, place it in a folder called EMame ROMS in the root of the C or E drive on your phone.


Testing and Running
Now disconnect your phone from the PC, go to the Applications menu and select Emame from the list. Click on the OK button to have Emame scan for arcade ROMS. Once it’s finished scanning, it will find the Galaxians ROM on your phone. Select the ROM and click on the Run button. The game will now load.

There you have your favorite arcade in your Symbian series phone. Not all Nokia phones, of course, will be capable of this configuration. Make sure your handset has the specified OS.

Thanks to Techietonic for providing this kinda classic but useful, at least for the kids in 90’s who grew playing up arcade game, guide. Just visit their gadgets blog for latest (yeah I don’t think you’ll find old gadgets in their site) and hottest gadgets.

One Truly Engineered Smartphone: The HTC P3400

On the surface, there is no reason why HTC phones should be considered inadequate. They are well-engineered, possess good spec, and run on software built by Microsoft. Despite these attributes, the phones have, in the past, fallen short on design, price, and software. However the P3400 has surfaced and has proven itself to be HTC’s Borg
-the model that has adapted the most.

The phone comes in a surprisingly pleasant matte black finish. This lends the unit a smooth feel and also a slightly rugged impression. This is one smart phone that says it doesn’t need to be pampered.
HTC P3400 Smartphone


The good news is those used to Windows Mobile will be familiar with the OS. The bad news is those used to Win Mo will see the same old interface that’s been around since the XDA II. It was had enough before; it's worse now that the iPhone juggernaut is here with its magical touch interface.

In the spirit of its full-fledged Windows kuya, you do get used to the interface. And that’s where the P3400’s appeal starts to grow. It may not be exciting, but the interface is simple enough once you know where to find things. Be prepared to do a lot of tapping: Windows Mobile 6 is a stylus intensive interface and that makes texting a pain.

A glance at the spec sheet shows how they made this smartphone relatively affordable. The screen has only 65k colors, the camera is a paltry 2-megapixel number, there’s no Wi-Fi, no 3G and there’s a mere 128MB of ROM storage. It's a good thing SD cards are cheap now.

Those who have been wary of the high price of Windows Mobile smartphones can try this phone out relatively painlessly. But at this price, Nokia and Sony Ericsson already have phones bristling with features.

PROCESSOR Texas Instruments OMAP 580, 201Mhz
MEMORY 128MB ROM, 64MB SDRAM
SCREEN 2.8' TFT-LCD. 240x320 pixels with 65k colors
NETWORK Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
SIZE/WEIGHT 109x58x17.65mm/455g

Comparison of High-Performance Smartphones: Dual Core, and Availability

What is the difference between dual core and quadcore? The name says it all. Dual cores have two (2) processor cores while quadcore have four (4) cores in one chip. Originally, processors where only produced with single processor. Cores are units of the processor which read and execute commands. They are considered as the computing parts of the processor. Computation in processors are very fast, beyond human processing operation.

Developers invented the many-core processors to suffice the need for increasing speed of instructions from the many applications for future gadgets. Although, the speed depends on the algorithms of the applications on the gadget.
Quadcore processors are theoretically twice as fast as the dual cores.
Aside from processor, they are also called or termed as CPU (central processing unit).

Here is the summary of the list in the above link.

  • Motorola Droid Bionic 4G
  • Motorola Droid X2
  • LG Optimus 2x
  • Motorola Atrix
  • Samsung Galaxy S II
  • HTC Evo 3D (currently available in Sprint)


The following are some of the list of laptops with quadcore processor:

  • Alienware M17x
  • Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds
  • Gateway P-7808u FX
  • Gateway P79003FX
  • Asus G71 quad-core
  • HP Pavilion DV7-2180US
  • Dell Precision M6400 Covet
  • Acer Aspire 8930G-7665
  • Gateway P-7808u FX
  • HP Envy 15
  • Asus G51VX-A1 15.6-inch


The dual core phone Samsung Galaxy S II will be released soon in the US through T-mobile as most reports suggest. It shall be named as Samsung Hercules in the US

The Samsung Hercules is reported to run on an Android OS Gingerbread. It will boast 8MP camera in the rear as primary camera. Aside from the US, it will also be released in Canada under TELUS Network under the same brand/name Samsung Hercules.
Another US carrier, Verizon, offers yet another dual core phone Motorola Droid Bionic on its 4G LTE Network.

Verizon also offers another dual core phone on its line up, the Droid X2 on its 3G network. Other rival networks such as Sprint, Tmobile and AT&T offer their own class of 4G phones and dual core phones as well.

Fun Without End? Get To Know The SAMSUNG 1900!

THE SAMSUNG 1900 Omnia is a phone— from a marketing standpoint- apparently designed solely to compete with the iPhone. It may fall short of Apples Liber-hyped device, but what Samsung came up with is a very sweet smart phone.



In terms of build, the Omnia even trumps the iPhone. It feels solid and has a well-balanced heft. Features-wise, Samsung threw everything in their arsenal into the Omnia: touch screen, 5—megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5G {HSDPA) connectivity, fast CPU, up to 16GB of storage, RDS Radio, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a latté machine. Ok, we were kidding about the latté.

The Omnia is one of the new generations of Windows Mobile phones to utilize version 6.1, which features threaded SMS messages. Text messages appear r in chat form as pioneered by the Treo. Seeing it implemented on the Omnia makes you realize, it’s about damn time.

The areas where the Omnia falls short are where it tries to match the iPhone. First, there's the accelerometer, which changes the orientation of the screen automatically. 1t’s tricky enough on the iPhone; here it just feels unnatural. Next is the touch screen keyboard. After a few days it was still difficult to input text quickly and accurately.

The interface that Samsung has created on top of WinMo is stylish and effective. The problem is when you use the apps and enter the realm of WinMo, the OS loses its aesthetic appeal. It feels like four years ago.

As an iPhone competitor, Samsung has created a potent challenger in the Omnia with technically better hardware than the iPhone. But it loses out when pitted against a proven strength of Apples products: the software.

SCREEN 3.2·inch WQVGA TFT touchscreen LCD
CONNECTIVITY Quad-band GSM, HSDPA, WiFi.
GPS. Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP
PLATFORM Windows Mobile 6.1
CAMERA 5 megapixel with AF
STORAGE 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM. 8/16GB of

The Sony Ericsson S700i for Cyber-Shot and Mobile Phone Savvy

Sony Ericsson mobile phones plus Sony Cyber-shot digital camera equals a fantastic camera phone. Sony Ericsson could have gone so wrong in so many ways, but manages to do everything right. Well, almost.
The Sony Ericsson S700i

If you have used a Sony Cyber-shot before, you will feel right at home with this camera phone. The menus of the S700i are borrowed straight fro the camera line and the controls are right where they should be. You even get advanced features like white balance.

The Sony Ericsson S700i  is quite clunker for a mobile phone though. Its unique switchblade design, however, fools you into the thinking it is a small digital camera. So the glass is either half empty or half full, it I up to you. Mysteriously, you can only fit 128MB memory card in it, which is a shame.


For the price, you can get a modest mobile phone and a modest digital camera, but you wont look nearly half as cool. If you want a megapixel camera phone, this is a bomb.

A Closer Look to the Apple Mac Mini

Here's a preview of the old Apple Mac Mini and compae what it got to the modern iPad these days. It boasts some quality features. Let's get a closer look into it.

Apple Mac Mini

The Processor
So how did they squeeze everything in th small size of this gadget from Apple? Well, very tightly indeed. Let's just hope that the heat sink and fan do their jobs as the G4 Processor of this Mac Mini can get quite toasty, and there's hardly a fan we can see - prolly its concealed somewhere.

Rear End
In the back, you have got 2 USB ports, 1 Firewire 400 port, 1 Ethernet port, 1 Jack and 1 DVD video output doubling as a VGA output for regular monitors. Buy an optional adaptor and you can plug your Mac Mini into your TV via S-Video (high quality connection) or composite output (your basic low quality connection), in case your TV doesn't have TVI (highest quality connection), which is probably doesn't unless you are a millionaire - well we are Millionaire just FYI

Space
To save space, the Mac Mini gets its juice extremely through a power brick . So technically it's not really that small.You will have to make some room on the floor which should be enough

Some Cool Gadgets Way Back - iShuffle and Audio-Technica

iShuffle
Also known as the iPod mini mini, the iShuffle seeks to provide the beauty of iTunes music to the folks on a budget. The iShuffle holds around 20 songs in its 512MB incarnation, or around 60 songs in the 256MB version.

There is no screen beacause users aremeant to listen to their favorite music in either of the two ways: in the order they made their palylist or randomly. We think Steve's job should be start firing people in Apple's ipod division except iPod users will tell you that's exactly how they listen to their itunes, so who knows Apple might be onto something.

Audio-Technica at DSP 300
So you have spent the last 2 years carefully curating your own digital music collection - but now what? Share the musical love, of course by purchasing mini speakers.

These cray candle-stick shaped ones are the work of crazy bearded audiophiles at Audio-Technica and effortlessly cool British designer Pail Smith. You get two speakers and an egg-shaped digital amplifier. Even if you could afford it, you can buy them here. Tough.

IPad Dominates the Tablet PC Market – Any Alternative?

Recently Apple introduced their tablet PC called iPad which gain enormous support from Apple lovers. The ipad is versatile and can serve variety of multimedia purposes. It plays HD videos, chat, multi touch screen functionalities, wireless connectivity etc.

There is also an alternative, however, so if you planning to buy a Tablet PC, you may want to consider the increasing economic factors where you can get the same as the iPad but has more features at a reduced price – affordability for short.

The new ipad alternative with Android 2.2 OS also known as APad is an option to consider. It is available at less than half the price. If you don’t to invest on buying an expensive iPad, there are always cheaper alternative, you can buy the Apad for one third the price. There are some places where you can buy the android Apad at a great price.

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the iPad, the android 2.2 aPad is best suited for you with unlimited apps and functions. This tablet pc is made from China explaining the very low price. The reason it is named APad is that it runs on Android OS. This ipad alternative runs on Google Android based operating system that follows a touch screen display and has some of the high tech electronics that you can possibly dream of.

Apad - an iPad Alternative?
Additionally, it supports Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, HD video, photos and more. Overall, the interface of this ipad alternative can be put the ipad into shame. At the rate it is available on aPAD is truly a revolutionary product.

Other tablet gadgets such as various Android enabled tablet PCs have been recently introduced into the market and are equipped with front-facing cameras – the one thing that lacks with ipad. Example of which is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. These other alternatives are about half the size of the iPad and their effectiveness for video chat has yet to be proven.

The New HTC Mobile from My Phone

HTC Touch is one of the first touch phone by HTC, and is the world’s first all producers. Type of contact resistance and is not as smooth as the iPhone, but once you get used to, it is easy to manage. HTC Touch Windows Mobile 6.1, which is slightly larger than the current seventh current Windows Mobile phone is the HTC Touch. This is my first smartphone, and I must say that I served well. I used this phone for about a year and this phone does not give me any problems.


I do not like is that the phone is only two games, and none of them good enough to play for a long period. I wish there were more games. To use a memory card for HTC Touch for data transfer, you must be very careful because, as the Windows operating system on your computer, Windows Mobile operating system is vulnerable to viruses. So if you are not careful, you can become a serious problem. And cleaning of mobile viruses is not as easy as cleaning of viruses on your computer. Most of them work well, but I suggest you use Opera Mobile instead of Internet Explorer for browsing. Adobe Reader LE is not enough for the whole page is too small to read, and if you come, you have to constantly move the slider to read between the lines. There should be a column in order to facilitate reading. Everyone seems to be great.
HTC Mobile Phones


In addition, other software pre installed I am trying a new card from Google, which is my favorite. I’ll tell you one thing, if you want to install the new software on the HTC Touch, you’d better be careful what you download, because the errors of most software. Ultimately, the HTC software developers are not as active as iPhone developers. In addition to Windows Mobile Office, which is nearing completion. There are some limitations which I think is a first version of art. Remember that the software is on YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Adobe Reader, Internet Explorer, Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger, Windows Media Player and Zip both from Microsoft.

Your Gadgets and Mobile Phone Collections

Before deciding on the network, providing coverage must be made taking effective voice, text and web package on the market at this time. Different people use different combinations of voice, SMS and Internet, which can be adjusted, which does not necessarily meet their needs. SA, a good idea to write to the use of the latest mobile phone services on a monthly basis in order to get an idea of what is actually used.
Mobile Phones

What is your network of family and friends? In recognition of this factor could also help the economy if the network decides that most of his friends and family are registered to save on calls and texts in general, etc. Once you have determined your network, you automatically create a list of phone because it limits the choice of phones that offer different packages for different networks. The myphone lines are example including Myphone Duo Phone Review and Price for those gadgets.When you select this option if you use a comparison site, you can choose the right settings, so your choice is the best phone, he said. Selecting a new phone can sometimes seem very difficult choice. There are many different types of phones out there that you must have a plan before you begin your search.

You can take into account characteristics such as memory device, music, USB, download, video, navigation, games, navigation and how to interact with these features. Nokia is a good option when it come to brand of cell phone. Ask yourself what you really need all these features list? Remember that you pay for other activities. It is better to list what you decide before you go to buy a phone. Tell your friends and family who bought a new phone so you can learn more about what is a good phone. Also found that the absence of a cell phone. What is the battery? Screen lock? What is the screen? What is the criterion used by some programs? If you want mobile broadband, which is a cover of animals then you are good to go.

A better way to end my day? A better selections of t.v channels array

Did you know that you can have an HD TV on your Computer with over 3500 TV channels from around the globe? One of my friends told me about this stuff.

Hi everyone! I thought this is just worth sharing. I really love watching tv and wonder if I could get my favorite channels even when I’m on the go. I stumbled upon a blog site that previews an item, which gives you the convenience of viewing your favorite tv channels straight to your computer or laptop.

I obtained this item and would like to share some fair reviews.

Access
You can choose from more than 3500 tv channels from 95 different countries (cool)
I can watch all my favorite soccer leagues from around the world. Got also access to wide array of international movies, news and other stuff. A friend of mine (an expat) always burrows my laptop to watch local tv shows from his country. Err he needs to have his own. JJ


No monthly fee?
lol yeah. I paid a one-time registration fee to download their software. It’s just worth of one-month cable bill or even less I guess.

No hardware stuff needed
Don’t need a satellite dish, receiver and the likes. All you need is a computer an Internet connection.


Mobility
Sure can watch anywhere from my laptop or at home on my desktop. Now I have time to watch during breaks lol.


Quality
Videos are streamed in HD quality. Sometimes when I’m at home I plug it on my widescreen television (using a technique they thought me hehe). Watching soccer games in HD is pretty cool.


What are the Cons on the other hand?
You need a good internet connection. No dial-up definitely! For wi-fi make sure your on good hotspot.
You can’t help but keep on changing tv channel because of wide choices of channels. You will want to try each channel that you think is interesting.
