BLACKBERRY 9000 STILL YOU REMEMBER THE THREE BLACKBERRY 9000? HOW: Remember those three BlackBerry 9000 units that showed up on eBay? As I made note in an earlier post, when the auction got pulled by the powers that be (err.. RIM?!!) there were still two units remaining, leaving one Crazy BlackBerry Addict anxiously waiting for the delivery of this next generation BlackBerry smartphone. As luck would have it, it turns out I’m the Crazy BlackBerry Addict! When mention of the eBay 9000s came up in the forums, there was plenty of discussion as to whether the devices were legit or not. The images accompanying the auction seemed too good to be photoshopped and were unlike any other leaked 9000 pictures I had encountered previously, so it only took a few minutes to make the decision to click the Buy it Now button and PayPal over the funds. At £399.99GBP + £19.99GBP shipping (~ $828USD) it was a gamble, but potentially a good deal considering previously reported rumors that the 9000 could carry an MSRP in the $900-$1,000 range. Worst case scenario if things went south I’d eat KD for a month and have a good story to tell. As for these particular BlackBerry 9000s, the image above says it all. 100% the real deal. It was delivered to my house yesterday afternoon and I’ve been playing with my eBay-purchased toy ever since. You’ll want to keep it locked to CrackBerry.com. I was planning on writing up one super review, but there's simply WAY too much info to put into one post. Part I (this post) will cover the unboxing and initial impressions/comparisons and after getting a few more hours facetime with the device Part II will get into the device features and OS4.6. I'll follow that up with an in-depth video walk through and we are also going to record a Special Edition BlackBerry 9000 podcast. Craig and I will record the show Friday evening, so if the posts and video leave you with any unanswered questions be sure to call them in to our Podcast Hotline at 1-866-904-5772 ext. 222 and we will answer them on the show. My fridge is stocked with Red Bull, I have a BlackBerry 9000 in hand and I don't plan on sleeping until every feature has been tested and menu option explored. Let the FUN begin! Unboxing the BlackBerry 9000 I made the eBay purchase on April 27th and it arrived a week later. The seller didn’t offer any alternative shipping options so I was stuck with 5 Business Day International delivery. The last couple of days I was beginning to think my BlackBerry 9000 would wind up meeting the same fate as did the O2 8300 Curve I had tried to buy from the UK when it wasn’t yet available from AT&T. Apparently it left Europe but got lost in transit and never made it to Canada. I like to think it’s lying at the bottom of the ocean, waiting to be discovered by a worthy individual. That image is more pleasant than the unfortunate truth (thief!). BACK TO MAIN

Amazing of Nokia 5310 XpressMusic That so Fantastic

BLACKBERRY 9000 STILL YOU REMEMBER THE THREE BLACKBERRY 9000? HOW: Remember those three BlackBerry 9000 units that showed up on eBay? As I made note in an earlier post, when the auction got pulled by the powers that be (err.. RIM?!!) there were still two units remaining, leaving one Crazy BlackBerry Addict anxiously waiting for the delivery of this next generation BlackBerry smartphone. As luck would have it, it turns out I’m the Crazy BlackBerry Addict! When mention of the eBay 9000s came up in the forums, there was plenty of discussion as to whether the devices were legit or not. In a nutshell: This is a good music phone from Nokia that can rival Sony Ericsson's Walkman range. We love the ultraslim, lightweight design, the practical keypad and the hot looks (choice of red or blue). The 5310 has a fully loaded music player and FM radio, up to 4 Gbytes of memory for storing songs, a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth connectivity. The battery life is below average, and some users have reported a problem with freezing, but this phone is definitely worth a look. Best buy: *Free* with half price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk; or on Pay as you Go from the Carphone Warehouse (Pink or Red) at £79.95. Oh yes! Nokia's XpressMusic range has moved up a gear and Sony Ericsson had better watch out. The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is a classic-shape music phone available in a choice of red or blue. It's an ultrathin phone, at just 9.9 mm, and has a lovely practical design with a good sized conventional keypad and a 5-way navigation key (Sony Ericsson take note!) There are three dedicated music keys placed at the side of the screen and volume keys along the edge.The bevelled edge makes it easy to hold in your palm, and the red or blue stripes are funky but not over the top. We like the look, we like the feel. This is definitely a phone that you can enjoy even when it's switched off, and it's small and light enough to carry anywhere - jeans pocket, shirt pocket or handbag. This is primarily a music phone, and it's equipped with a full function music player and FM radio. The music player has support for playlists, album art and an equaliser. You can listen to your music using the built-in loudspeaker (which is a bit on the quiet side), or preferably using the stereo headset supplied or a Bluetooth wireless headset (optional extra). The 5310 has a new upgraded audio chip, and the audio quality is impeccable. Really, the music player is just as easy to use as one of Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones, or even a dedicated MP3 player. We like the fact that there's a decent amount of memory built in (30 Mbytes), but you'll definitely want to kit the phone out with a memory card: the 5310 supports microSD cards up to 4 Gbytes, which is enough for around 1,000 songs. MicroSD cards are really cheap these days (around £25 for 4GB), so really there's no reason not to go for the maximum size available. But the 5310 is not just a music phone. As well as making calls and playing music, it will do everything that you'd expect from a mid-range non-3G phone. The camera is a respectable 2 megabytes. It lacks a flash, which is a shame, but in good light it'll take decent pics. The display is outstandingly good, with a high-res screen that's as good as anything in this price range. Although the phone isn't 3G, it supports fast downloads using EDGE and has the Opera Mini Browser built-in, so you can still browse the web, and the screen is large enough to make this feasible. The phone comes with 3 games, and you can download Java games too. The UI is quite customisable, with animated screensavers, wallpapers and downloadable themes. If there's one thing wrong with the 5310 (and at Mobile Phones UK we love to find things wrong!) it's the battery life. Nokia quote 300 hours standby - that's 12.5 days. Forget it! You'll get 1-2 days use from this phone, depending on how much you use the features. Since it's a music phone, you'll probably use it a lot and will need to charge it most days. Get over it - this is an ultrathin phone with a large LCD screen and tons of features. This is what the battery life is like in this kind of phone. If a longer battery life is essential for you, then buy a different phone (not an ultraslim one - maybe the SE W810i or SE W910i.) A number of users are also reporting that their phone freezes or restarts. This is unacceptable, and if this happens to you, return it to the shop. If it happens again, ask for a different phone.

Skeet (ASUS Eee PC )

The ASUS Eee PC The ASUS Eee PC (pronounced as the letter e, IPA /iː/) is a subnotebook / netbook computer designed by ASUS. At the time of its introduction, it was noted for its combination of a light weight, Linux-based operating system, solid-state drive and relatively low cost. Newer models have added the option of Windows XP operating system and traditional hard disk drives. Newer models have also increased in price, though they remain relatively inexpensive as laptops, and notably inexpensive for ultra-small laptops. Asus announced two Eee PC models at COMPUTEX Taipei 2007; the Eee PC 701 and the Eee PC 1001.[3] The 701 based model Eee PC 4G was released on October 16, 2007 in Taiwan. Three additional models followed. The originally-announced second model (1001) was also expected, but later ASUS renounced any plans to release it to the market. ASUS sold over 300,000 units in 2007,[4] and plans to sell several million in 2008. Intel has described the Eee PC as in line with its “World Ahead” marketing drive—which aims to provide anyone around the world a chance to own a PC.[5] Both the price and the size of the device are relatively small in comparison to similar devices, such as Ultra-Mobile PCs. The Eee series is viewed partly as a response to the XO-1 notebook from the One Laptop per Child initiative. At the Intel Developer Forum 2007, Asus demonstrated the Classmate PC and the Eee PC, and listed specifications for four models of the Eee PC. ASUS at the time claimed that models may start at USD 199, and range up in price and features to USD 399.[6] The final price and specifications for the Eee PC, officially announced in September 2007, differed from ASUS’s initial plans. The price rose to USD 245, from USD 199, while the size of the included solid-state drive was reduced from 4GB to 2GB, the VGA camera was dropped, and the included RAM was halved to 256 MB. As of October 25, 2007, the price range was expected to be USD 299–399.[7] The 2G Surf has since gone on sale with 512 MB of RAM included.[8] Since October 13, 2007 the ASUS website shows revised specifications. The products now have the marketing names EeePC 8G, 4G, 4G Surf, and 2G Surf instead of the model numbers 700 and 701 shown in pre-release information and on the Eee PC label and on the packaging.[9] ASUS no longer uses the model numbers in marketing materials for the systems. The 4G Surf uses socketed RAM but some revisions do not have a door to access the slot.[10] ASUS announced a desktop version of the Eee PC, without an integrated display, to be released in 2008.[11] ASUS announced that a version of the Eee PC with Microsoft Windows XP pre-installed would be released by the end of the year 2007. It was, however, not released until January 2008. In Japan the version is known as the 4G-X.[12] On January 29, 2008, it was announced that 4G Eee PC would become available in India.[13] It was released on February 2, 2008 in the city of Mumbai and is being shipped with the customized Xandros OS and not the Windows XP Starter Edition.[14] From April 5, 2008[15] ASUS plans to sell two versions of the ASUS Eee PC with Windows XP. One of them will come with 4GB solid state and a 4GB SDHC card. The second version will be sold without the SDHC card and will sell for USD 399. The Windows XP and Linux Xandros versions of the Eee PC will sell for the same price.

Stefanie (A laptop computer)

A laptop computer A laptop computer, also known as a notebook computer, is a small personal computer designed for mobile use. A laptop integrates all of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a trackpad, or a pointing stick) and a battery into a single portable unit. The rechargeable battery is charged from an AC/DC adapter and has enough capacity to power the laptop for several hours, enabling it to be used virtually anywhere. A laptop is usually shaped like a large notebook with thickness of 0.7-1.5 inches (1.7-4cm) and dimensions ranging from 10x8 inches (27x22cm, 13" display) to 15x11 inches (39x28cm, 17" display) and up. Modern laptops weigh 3 to 12 pounds (1.4 to 5.4 kg), and some older laptops were even heavier. Most laptops are designed in the flip form factor to protect the screen and the keyboard when closed. Originally aimed at professionals "on the go", early laptops were expensive, limited in capabilities and heavy. They were relatively incommon, with desktops occupying most of the personal computer market: in 1996, just 17% of personal computers sold worldwide were laptops [1]. However, as the advance of technology made notebook computers more capable, as prices fell from several thousand dollars to several hundreds for basic models, and as more and more people found themselves using computers daily, the compactness and the portability of laptops made them the personal computers of choice for many consumers. It is now expected that more laptops than desktops will be sold as soon as 2009[2][3]. The Compaq LTE, launched in 1989, was the first to be widely known as a "notebook computer" because its relatively small dimensions— 4.8x22x28 cm = 1.9 × 8.5 × 11 inches—were similar to an A4 paper notebook. The Compaq was followed in October 1992 by the very popular IBM ThinkPad, which was the first to include a 10.4 inch screen in a notebook measuring 2.2 × 8.3 × 11.7 inches. Portables with smaller form factors thus became known as subnotebooks. The term was also applied to the NEC UltraLite, unveiled in 1988, although its dimensions (1.4 × 8.3 × 11.75 inches) were very similar to the Compaq LTE. Smaller DOS-based PCs such as the Poqet PC and the Atari Portfolio — both released in 1989 — were called either "pocket PCs" or handhelds. One early subnotebook was the PowerBook 100 released in 1991 by Apple Inc., measuring 8.5" deep by 11" wide by 1.8" high and weiged 5.1 lbs. Then the Gateway Handbook, originally released in 1992 and updated to use a 486 processor in late 1993, was only 9.7 inches (246 mm) wide, 5.9 inches (150 mm) deep, and 1.6 inches (41 mm) high, and weighed less than three pounds (1.4 kg). Apple followed-up with PowerBook Duo series in October 1992, which further reduced their subnotebook line to 8.5" deep by 10.9" wide by 1.4" high and is an example of a portable supporting few on-board features, but which could be inserted into a docking station to achieve the full functionality of a desktop – a feature soon emulated by other manufacturers. Another early subnotebook was the Hewlett-Packard OmniBook 300, which was launched as a "superportable" in 1993. It measured 1.4 × 6.4 × 11.1 inches, and was available with an optional Flash memory disk instead of a hard drive, to reduce the weight.[2] Toshiba, which had concentrated on portables in the 1980s, also entered the market that year with the Portege T3400, claiming that "It's the first subnotebook computer with all the functionality of a much larger computer".[3] The version with an 8.4″ monochrome screen measured just 1.7 × 7.9 × 9.8 inches and weighed 1.8kg. Then Toshiba really put the subnotebook PC format on the map in 1995 with the Libretto 20. This featured a 6.1″ screen and 270 MB hard disk. CNet reported about the Libretto 50CT that "[it] is the first full-fledged Windows 95 notebook in the United States weighing less than two pounds".[4] Compaq introduced its own short lived subnotebook line in 1994 called Contura Aero, which had two models: the greyscale display 4/25 and the color 4/33, notable for using a battery which was intended to be standard rather than only useful for Compaq products. In 1997, Apple launched the relatively light-weight (4.4 lbs) but short-lived PowerBook 2400c. This was co-designed by IBM and made for Apple by IBM Japan to replace the aging PowerBook Duo line. However, it measured 1.9 × 8.5 × 10.5 inches, so it was actually bigger than a Compaq LTE notebook. IBM had sold "thin and light" models in its ThinkPad range, such as the ThinkPad 560 ultraportable (1996) and best-selling ThinkPad 600 (1998). It finally entered the subnotebook market in 1999 with the 1.3kg ThinkPad 240, targeted at business travellers.[5] The 240 and 240X had 10.4in screens. Later, however, IBM replaced these with the X range, with 12.1″ screens. At 8.3 × 10.6in, the ThinkPad X40 is not much smaller than A4 (8.3 by 11.7in) and better described as an ultraportable, rather than a subnotebook. Sony launched an ultraportable less than an inch thick in Japan in 1997, the PCG-505, which reached the US in 1997 as the VAIO 505GX. This was followed by the even thinner Sony VAIO X505, which measured just 0.8 × 8.2 × 10.2 inches, and reached 0.3″ at its thinnest.[6] However, it was very expensive and had poor battery life, and was soon withdrawn. Sony also launched the C1 range of subnotebooks, starting in Japan in January 2000. [edit] 2001–present One of the most notable Sony models was the Transmeta-based Vaio PCG-C1VE or PictureBook (2001), which measured only 1×6×9.8 inches. It had a digital camera built into the lid, which could be used for video conferencing or swivelled round to photograph a scene.[7] This was followed in 2005 by the Transmeta-based Flybook convertible with a touch-sensitive 8.9 inch. widescreen from Taiwan's Dialogue Technology. (Later models used Intel ULV processors.) The Flybook features a built-in phone connection for GPRS or 3G networking, and is available in a range of bright colors. This attracted the attention of non-computer magazines including GQ, FHM, Elle and Rolling Stone.[8] Dimensions of 9.3 × 6.1in put the original Flybook A33i on a par with the Libretto,[9] but styled to appeal more to fashion models than computer geeks. In 2006, Microsoft stimulated a new round of subnotebook development with the UMPC or Ultra-Mobile PC format code-named Origami. These are basically small versions of Tablet PC computers, which originally shipped with the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. An example is the Samsung Q1. In 2007, Asus unveiled the Intel-based ASUS Eee PC range running Linux (or, after user modification, Microsoft Windows) on a 7 inch color screen. These machines measure just 8.9 × 6.5in and have less-than-full-sized keyboards. Unlike most subnotebooks which sell in small numbers, the Eee PC has been a top seller on Amazon.com[10] and is often sold out in retail stores. Its success is largely contributed to the relatively low price (~USD $350). Compare with similar products, which easily priced above $1000 at that time. In mid February 2008, Everex launched its VIA chipset based CloudBook, running gOS. The CloudBook is based on the VIA nanobook reference design. Unlike its closest competitor, the Eee PC, the CloudBook uses a hard-disk. The design of the cloudbook is optimised so it can be held in one hand while typing, or in two hands when using the mouse-cursor control, with the left thumb controlling the two "mouse buttons", and the right thumb a small trackpad, both mousepad and keys are placed directly under the screen. In April 3, 2008, Microsoft announced a program to extend the availability of Windows XP in "ultra low-cost PCs", past its original deadline for ending the support of this operating system, as long as hardware developers deploy it on systems with limited hardware specifications.[11] Commentators have seen this announcement as a market movement both to prevent mobile PCs eating market share of full-featured desktop and laptop PCs,[12] and to stop the advance of Linux installations on this format.[13] In June 2008, MSI launched the MSI Wind PC, with features such as Bluetooth and a 10" led backlight 1024x600 screen. This new laptop is the first built with Intel Atom low power technology and competes with the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC which has a 8.9" screen and is capable of a higher resolution. Both laptops are offered with SUSE Linux and Microsoft Windows preinstalled; but HP offers Windows Vista on their laptop while MSI ships only with XP Home edition. BACK TO MAIN

Big Nick (Apple just built for Time Mach)

BLACKBERRY 9000 Backing up is something we all know we should do, but often don’t. And while disaster is a great motivator, now it doesn’t have to be. Because with Time Capsule, the nagging need to back up has been replaced by automatic, constant protection. And even better, it all happens wirelessly, saving everything important, including your sanity. Time Capsule includes a wireless 500GB or 1TB hard drive1 designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that’s it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up — automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again. Backup for everyone. Have multiple Macs in your house? Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Leopard-based Mac on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. Time Capsule spares you the work. Room for it all. Time Capsule is your one place for backing up everything. Its massive 500GB or 1TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need. So whether you have 250 songs or 250,000 songs to back up, room is the last thing you’ll run out of. And considering all that storage and protection come packaged in a high-speed Wi-Fi base station starting at $299, data isn’t the only thing you’re saving. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

Full-size, full-feature keyboard. The keyboard is full-size with crisp keys just like the ones on MacBook. But MacBook Air goes further by adding backlit key illumination, making it easy to work in low-light settings such as airplanes and conference halls. A built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts keyboard and display brightness for optimal visibility. And with the oversize multi-touch trackpad, it just keeps getting better for fingers.

Sexy mama (I froze my eggs)

BLACKBERRY 9000 Fleur Britten At age 34, I’m having a panic attack. I might be biologically ready for procreation — past ready, even — but, emotionally, I’m committed to my career, not to The One. I’m still asking, which One? I exist in that “30 is the new 20” generation: perfection-seeking, commitment-phobic and no way near ready. But I need to insure against finding myself in a Tracey Emin moment, choked by my childlessness at 40. Twenty-three per cent of women born in 1973 won’t have had children by the time they hit 45. By which time it might be too late. I need to put my fertility on ice, before it runs out on me. So I’m having my eggs frozen. It isn’t a cheap option. At the Bridge clinic, in London, it costs from £4,000 to £4,750, plus an annual storage fee of £230 (waived for under-35s in return for a donation of half their eggs). As for the pain? Aside from nine injections, 10 blood tests and two junked, bruised arms, eight ultrasound wands up my, umm, carnal canal, the egg-collecting procedure under sedation and, in total, nine weeks of consultation . . . It’s less physically painful, more like being held up in roadworks: a short-term bother with (one hopes) longer-term benefits. I’d been incubating the idea of egg-freezing for some time, but had previously ruled it out because, frankly, it didn’t really work. Egg survival rates were bad (as low as 40%), because the ice crystals that form in freezing damage the egg in thawing. If a woman were serious about future-proofing her fertility, she’d be better off doing it with a partner or a donor, since it’s much easier to freeze embryos. But, this June, results came through from Canada of a new freezing method — rapid vitrification (using liquid nitrogen, which reduces the formation of crystals). Its IVF pregnancy rates (the inevitable next step in order to conceive from frozen eggs) were almost the same as when using fresh eggs. I start my research. “We don’t like women over the age of 35,” says a fertility expert at Midland Fertility Services (MFS). Harsh! “There’s an instant decline after that age in the quality of eggs. And another watershed at 40.” MFS has had four “ice” babies (the only four in the UK, it claims; there have been 800 worldwide, according to one estimate), including the UK’s first (in 2002, from the old method). Despite not having introduced vitrification, its track record makes MFS an obvious starting point. But, for a Londoner, it’s an impractical option. The fertility guru Zita West recommends the Centre for Assisted Reproduction (CARE), with its headquarters in Nottingham, which does chromosomal screening on eggs “in a way that we haven’t been able to before”, she says. Only eggs with normal chromosomes are thawed (usually the screening takes place at the time of the thawing). Genetic quality deteriorates with age and is a big cause of failure in IVF. Screening here costs more than £300 per egg. I opt for Bridge. No live births yet from its egg-freezing programme, but it has more than a year’s experience in the new method, is licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, and comes on personal recommendation. And so I find myself surveying its waiting room: all thirty- to fortysomething single women and hand-holding couples and a tension of expectation; it is a lonely place when flying solo. First, I see a healthcare worker and a nurse for the basics and to have my history taken (have I abused children?), and then the consultant, Mohamed Menabawey. “Egg-freezing is going to be a lifestyle choice for women,” he says. “It’s like the pill in the 1960s. In the next 20 years, this will become mainstream.” Since September last year, 32 women have frozen their eggs at Bridge — 89% of them single, 95% delaying motherhood for social reasons (as opposed to medical reasons, such as prior to chemotherapy). “You can have a face-lift, but not an organ-lift,” Menabawey adds. But, I am warned, it’s a lot to go through, with no guaranteed outcome: frozen eggs do not equal a baby. IVF has a less than 30% chance of success each cycle, and you can expect three cycles (I’d have to fork out £2,200 for each). So if I were really sensible/ rich/neurotic, I should set up three sets of egg collections. The drugs will make me tired and emotional. Hedonism will have to be shelved for a few weeks. I’ll have to self-inject (inject myself?! Outsource! Outsource!), and have my ovaries punctured to extract the eggs. There will be bruising — I’ll “know about it”. Egg-freezing might seem drastic, but it feels less so than exercising my remaining fertility right now. I sign on the dotted line. First, I am put through a fertility MOT. Ladies, if you’re in any way fertility-anxious, go get — it comprises two simple blood tests to measure your ovarian reserves. This old banger passes. “Drop your trousers, please.” I have a pelvic ultrasound scan to assess the health of my ovaries and womb. The perfunctory nature of it all quickly forces me past the humiliation of having a lubed-up ultrasonic dildo inserted. Verdict: good to go. I’m despatched to dose up on folic acid, antioxidants and healthy food. It all starts painlessly enough. I use a nasal spray for two weeks to “down-regulate” my cycle, so that my bits behave menopausally (so no period), thereby relinquishing all control of my cycle to the clinic: cue menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, mood swings). Two weeks later, I have to inject myself daily with follicle-stimulating hormones, for 10 to 15 days. This is to induce a cycle optimised to produce large, mature eggs (which — if you weren’t listening in biology class — grow in the follicles). I also have to keep sniffing the nasal spray to stop me ovulating prematurely. On day four of injecting, I have the first of my daily blood tests to measure my oestrogen levels, and ultrasound scans to see how my follicles are growing. At normal ovulation, one follicle swells from 10mm to more than 16mm wide; a follicle of this size gives a 70% chance of “mature” eggs overall. Soon it starts to feel like the giant peach is growing inside me (akin to severe PMT bloating). By day eight, my nurse says there are enough hormones coursing through me to make me want to murder someone; actually, fiendish thoughts evade me, though I do find myself manoeuvring like a pregnant person, levering myself up and down with my hands. My oestrogen level has shot up to 20,000 pmol/l (at rest it is 150), so they stop the injections early (cool), as this indicates I’m hyperstimulating (not cool) — the worst-case scenario is death, caused by the ovaries leaking fluid into the lungs. But it’s rare. A milder form still requires hospitalisation, so I am told to watch for nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. A swell of nausea comes, but is gone by day 11, when my oestrogen levels have dropped to 8,000: I’m ready for the injection to trigger ovulation in 36 hours’ time; harvesting will take place in precisely 35 hours. From eight hours beforehand, I’m nil by mouth, and told to avoid make-up, deodorant, nail varnish and perfume. Someone (my sister) will need to escort me home. The procedure itself is conducted, like the scan, via my lady lair, but this time with a needle — I’ll be out of it, thankfully. I start to feel a bit foolish. Why am I subjecting myself to this non-essential yet invasive procedure? A cannula is fed into my arm, and then the sedative . . . “Hello, Fleur. We’ve collected 15 eggs!” These are the words I come round to, 20 minutes later, on a bed with a fat sanitary towel between my legs (to catch the post-operative bleeding). After a couple of tests and a compulsory sandwich, I’m released into the world again, for a day in bed, feeling swollen, tender and delicate. A call later that day informs me that, of the 15 eggs, only seven were mature enough to be washed and frozen. I can’t help but feel disappointed — doctors need to freeze at least 15 high-quality eggs for fertility treatment later. I will need to go through it all again to make any of this worthwhile. Which will also mean about another £4,000. Perhaps this is all just academic — I might never call upon my frozen eggs. But it’s better peace of mind than none at all. Turning back the biological clock a mite will surely muffle my female frustrations. Though, now, of course, there’s even less urgency to commit. BACK TO MAIN

Shanan (Three models banned from fashion show)

Three models have been Three models have been sent home from Spain’s top fashion show after being rejected as too thin. The week-long Cibeles show in Madrid, which started yesterday, bans models with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18, believing them to set an unhealthy ideal for teenage girls. The three models rejected by the organisers had a BMI of less than 16. “A BMI of 16 is extremely low,” said Susana Monereo, a nutritionist and endocrinologist who weighed the 70 models due to appear at the show. Organisers refused to name the models, and said that they were not necessarily in danger. “Their health might be OK, but their appearance is extremely thin,” Dr Monereo said. She said initially that the three rejected models were all British. But organisers backtracked quickly, saying the doctor had mistakenly assumed that the models were British after hearing them speak in English. A spokeswoman said: “In fact, they were of Italian, French and Polish nationality.” Related Links The fashion show barred models it deemed to be excessively skinny from its catwalks in September 2006. The move, which was copied in Milan and elsewhere, was triggered by concerns for models’ health, and that anorexia was being encouraged among teenagers. Several models died from starvation in 2006 in Brazil and Uruguay. The London Fashion Show has not followed Madrid’s lead. Many in the British fashion industry fear that top models might go elsewhere if they are forced to step on to the scales or to fatten up for the catwalk. The British Fashion Council made a series of recommendations last September, including a ban on using girls under 16 years of age. Models will also be required to present a medical certificate of good health from September next year. The World Health Organisation defines a BMI below 18.5 as underweight. Spain has taken the lead on the so-called “size 0” debate, even asking high street shops to stop using unrealistically thin dummies. Thin is not always unhealthy. I have always been thin and I eat good, nutritious food. I don't watch my weight and don't go to the gym and I am still thin! This is my body type and get over it!! For the young girls.. stop being mind controlled and used by the media. Learn confidence & stay healthy! lucy k, new york, usa I don't like the idea of size zero models to be honest, but they use size zero girls like coat hangers. I wish that they would use curvier girls and not ill thin ones, but thats what their excuse will be "would you rather see a dior dress on a coat hanger, or on a large girl". It's a shame. Ally, Cambridge, If you watch shows like "America's Next Top Model" you'll see medium sized girls and women told to either lose weight to be considered as a serious model or gain weight to be a plus-sized model. I think it's really sick when there's no place in fashion for size medium. Danae, Detroit, USA BACK TO MAIN

Nokia Camera imaging chain?

Stefanie Seraphim Nabila Skeet NOKIA CAMERA IMAGING CHAIN Before a photograph can be shown on focus of a camera phone, the first of captured image data must first be processed. This is processing sequence, was be called an imaging chain, to contains the functions to construct the image from the sensor's data,and adjust the color of the image, attenuate noise and geometrical distortion, and adjust sharpness of the image. The imaging chain, combined with the optical path and imaging sensor, all contribute to the quality of the resulting picture. The challenge for research is to develop processing methods that improve the image but are not too complicated for the phone engine to calculate or that would take too long to complete.

What about by the The Morph concept on the mobile phone in Nokia?

Autunm Baby Gur Big Nick Jay JBitches next The Morph concept Conclusion is the most of in the morph concept device is a bridge" Have Launched in The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) – nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities. Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices: Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways. Flexible & Changing Design Morph Phone Operating Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand. A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads. Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly. Self-Cleaning Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity. Nanostructured surfaces, such as “Nanoflowers” naturally repel water, dirt, and even fingerprints utilizing effects also seen in natural systems. Advanced Power Sources Nanotechnology holds out the possibility that the surface of a device will become a natural source of energy via a covering of “Nanograss” structures that harvest solar power. At the same time new high energy density storage materials allow batteries to become smaller and thinner, while also quicker to recharge and able to endure more charging cycles. Sensing The Environment Nanosensors would empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to gaining insight into bio-chemical traces and processes. New capabilities might be as complex as helping us monitor evolving conditions in the quality of our surroundings, or as simple as knowing if the fruit we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it. Our ability to tune into our environment in these ways can help us make key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance our health.

Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program

Important Safety Notice

Today Apple announced the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange program.

Apple has determined that under certain conditions the new ultracompact Apple USB power adapter's metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet, creating a risk of electric shock. We have received reports of detached blades involving a very small percentage of the adapters sold, but no injuries have been reported.

The ultracompact USB power adapters were supplied with every iPhone 3G sold in the following countries, and may also have been purchased separately as an accessory:

• US
• Japan
• Canada
• Mexico
• Several Latin American countries (click here for a detailed list of countries)

Note: Apple USB power adapters supplied with original iPhones or supplied with iPhone 3G units sold in other countries are not affected.

Customer safety is always Apple's top priority, and therefore we have voluntarily decided to exchange every ultracompact power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter, free of charge.

Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter.

In the meantime, they should charge their iPhone 3G by connecting it to their computer with the USB cable that came with their iPhone or by using a standard-sized Apple USB Power Adapter (with fold up prongs) or with a third party adapter designed to work with the iPhone, such as a car charger.

Identifying your adapter

If you purchased an iPhone 3G in any of the countries listed above, you received the ultracompact USB adapter.

Compare your USB power adapter to the pictures below. If it matches, we will provide a replacement adapter in exchange for your current one.

If you have purchased this ultracompact adapter as a standalone accessory, you may also exchange it for a new one.
Replacement adapters have a single green dot on the bottom, like this:

If you have an ultracompact adapter with a green dot on the bottom, you already have a new, redesigned adapter and do not need to participate in this exchange program.

The Exchange Process

Replacement adapters will be available starting Friday, October 10, 2008. Please see below for the exchange process in your country.

US, Canada and Japan

There are two ways to exchange your current ultracompact Apple USB power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter.

• Order a replacement adapter via the web. These replacement adapters will ship within one business day of your order.
• Exchange your adapter at an Apple Retail Store starting on October 10.

We'll need to collect your iPhone 3G's serial number as part of the exchange process.

If you apply via the web, you will also need to provide your name and address so that we can send you a new adapter along with a shipment box so that you can return the affected adapter to Apple.

If you visit an Apple Retail Store, you need to bring your affected adapter(s) and your iPhone 3G(s) with you to complete the exchange process.

Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image

Seoul, Korea, October 3, 2008- LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, announced the official launch of its LG-KC910, a slim yet feature-packed full touchscreen 8 megapixel multimedia phone. This artistic new handset, known as Renoir, goes on sale in Europe in early October and has a large palate of features like Wi-Fi, Dolby® Mobile from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), and camera capabilities that even surpass those found on standalone digital cameras.

“Renoir is much more than a camera phone. It truly puts everything at your fingertips and provides a multi-sensorial experience through sight, sound and touch,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The 8 megapixel camera is only one aspect of the phone. Its unique combination of features, including a full touchscreen interface, Dolby Mobile for Music and built in support for Wi-Fi and A-GPS, allow Renoir to be used in equally unique ways.”

Focus on Touch-Enhanced High Quality Camera

Renoir takes super-sharp 8 megapixel pictures that can be edited in camera and are instantly ready for sharing online or printing. The phone’s list of features includes some that are usually only found on extremely high-end standalone cameras, such as Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, a Xenon flash, auto and manual focus, sensitivity up to ISO 1600 and geo-tagging.

Renoir takes the full advantage capabilities as a full touchscreen 8 megapixel phone, with unique touch-enhanced features. One feature, Touch Shot, makes it easy to get the right shot every time by allowing photographers to focus on any object by touching it on screen. The shutter fires automatically when the user’s finger is removed from the screen. Touch Shot, a first for a mobile phone, also reduces camera shake and eliminates the need to search for the shutter release button.

One major advantage Renoir has over standalone digital cameras is its ability to connect to the latest 3G HSDPA networks and Wi-Fi. This eliminates the need to wait to share pictures with the world. They can be instantly and effortlessly uploaded and shared with the world from almost anywhere. Geo-tagging, enabled by Renoir’s A-GPS capabilities, makes it easy to keep track of where pictures were taken and plot them using online mapping websites.

Special shot modes give pictures that special look that usually requires a professional touch. Beauty Shot removes spots and imperfections from people’s faces, while also making them appear brighter and clearer in photos. The feature is smart enough to recognize faces and only apply the effect to the right areas. Art Shot allows users to apply a number of creative preset effects, from common changes like black and white to less common and more nuanced ones like warm or cool tone.

Share in an Unrivalled Multimedia Experience

Renoir delivers a full multimedia experience that stimulates the senses. . Renoir is also the first handset created for the worldwide market to include Dolby Mobile. This integrated suite of audio processing technologies from Dolby Laboratories brings depth and richness as well as clean, powerful bass to deliver a more immersing and engaging listening experience for music.

Renoir records video better than any other mobile phone, with the ability to capture super-high-quality 120 frame per second slow-motion video or to compress longer events using five frame per second time lapse recording. A noise-free microphone ensures that audio is just as crisp as the video it accompanies. Built-in support for DivX and Xvid encoded video means that Renoir can provide hours of entertainment straight out of the box.

Just as with photos, Renoir can upload any user generated content it creates including audio, video or text, over 3G HSDPA networks or Wi-Fi. Renoir is ready for the complete web 2.0 experience, fully able to use web-based applications, including those that require GPS location.

Touch the Intuitive, Customizable Interface

Renoir works just like people think. Its user interface is both intuitive and easily customizable, based around a full touchscreen that provides the perfect canvas for multimedia. When first turned on, the handset greets users with a screen that is home to numerous widgets. These can be selected from a wide range of choices and dragged into place. Standing out among these are Renoir’s online widgets, which use live content from the web to provided up-to-the-second information on things like local weather.

For applications like text messaging, Renoir allows users to choose what kind of input interface they want to use – either an onscreen QWERTY keypad, similar to a computer keyboard, or an alpha-numeric keypad, like what is found on most mobile phones. Another unique feature enabled by Renoir’s touchscreen is its picture-based speed dial, which allows users to quickly scroll through contacts and bring up more detailed information with just the touch of a finger.

LG chose the name Renoir for Viewty’s successor to reflect its personality and level of multimedia sophistication. The handset’s designers drew inspiration from the way the impressionist painter of the same name used light and color to capture scenes that were beautifully rich in meaning.

After making its initial debut in Europe in October of this year, Renoir will come out in Asia, Latin America and CIS in November, the Middle East and Africa in December and China in January of 2009. The 13.95 mm Renoir will be available in titan black and other color options depending on operator.

LG will also launch another 8 megapixel handset in October, its super slim 13.9 mm slider, the LG-KC780. This phone will have a number of built-in features that make it a great on-the-go companion for taking portraits.

Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image

Seoul, Korea, October 9, 2008 -- LG Electronics, a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, announced today the launch of its LG-KC780, a slim 8 megapixel camera phone with special features that make it ideal for shooting portraits.

The LG-KC780 is a slim slider phone at just 13.9 mm thick, but manages to include a large 2.4-inch widescreen LCD. The phone is designed to ensure that its myriad camera features are convenient and easy to use. A Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens ensures that the LG-KC780’s camera takes high quality photos that are sharp and clear.

“We found that most of the time people use the cameras on their mobile phones to take pictures of themselves, their families, friends and significant others,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “With this in mind, LG developed the LG-KC780 with a number of face-enhancing features to augment its high quality 8 megapixel camera.”

Several of the LG-KC780’s smart technologies focus around the most expressive part of a person, the face. Face Detection automatically finds and focuses on people’s faces to allow photographers to take clearer pictures. Part of this feature relies on LG’s Smile Detection technology, which can recognize the angle of people’s mouths and adjust focus for faces.

Other people-focused features on the LG-KC780 include easy-to-use shot modes that help make people look their best. With Smile Shot enabled the camera automatically triggers the shutter when it determines that the subject is smiling. And with Beauty Mode users can remove spots and imperfections on people’s faces, making sure the faces appear bright and clear in photos.

Great memories can happen anywhere and the LG-KC780 has a number features that ensure great shots no matter where they are taken. The LG-KC780 can almost see in the dark with adjustable light sensitivity up to an amazingly high ISO 1600. If an image is too bright, however, LG’s SmartLight™ setting automatically fixes it. A built-in Image Stabilizer ensures that pictures come out clear and sharp, even in shaky situations.

For those times when a picture is not enough, the LG-KC780’s D1 Video recording captures DVD-resolution video of every exciting moment. This means that movies captured on the handset will still look great when played back on a large screen TV.

The LG-KC780 is a full featured handset and includes the latest in mobile phone technology, including Smart Bluetooth, which opens up a number of new options when the phone is connected to a personal computer. For example, the phone’s camera can be used as a webcam for use in online conversations. Unlike USB webcams, this world’s first feature means that the camera can easily move with the user, as long as the phone stays within Bluetooth range.

Transferring the 8 megapixel photos that the phone takes is also far simpler thanks to Bluetooth. In addition, Smart Bluetooth makes it easier to send and read text messages, allowing them to be typed and viewed on the computer. The LG-KC780’s fun goes beyond its picture-taking capabilities; Motion Sensor Games make it easy to get into the action.

LG-KC780 will go on sale in November 2008, in Europe, later expanding to CIS and Asia, including India, Thailand, Hong Kong and China. LG expects that the LG-KC780 will build on the leadership the company established with its multimillion selling Viewty and enhance its lineup of 8 megapixel camera phones, along with the recently released an 8 megapixel touch screen multimedia phone, LG Renoir (LG-KC910).

DJ-Miyas (BlackBerry Gets Bought By Microsoft)

Aks about ?RIM on the Ropes: Did you Think aboutWhat If BlackBerry Gets Bought By Microsoft?!

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) has had it tough in this dwindling economy. RIM’s shares, which were around $148 a piece on the NASDAQ a few months ago are at $55 today (in fact that is what they closed at just an hour ago). Shareholders understandably are feeling queasy about the state of the company, but a story put out by Reuters on the topic has us also feeling like we may need to lay down.

The recent plunge in the market value of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion could leave the company vulnerable to a takeover from a well-capitalized buyer such as Microsoft Corp.

A Microsoft seize of the BlackBerry?! Could it be true? John Jackson of the Yankee Group, for one, believes it could happen. “It’s plausible, just as it has been plausible in the past. RIM should be in the catbird seat in 2008 and 2009,” Jackson says.

“They have the obvious asset of a large, near-global enterprise customer base for a high value service that throws off a recurring revenue stream. Microsoft doesn’t have this in the mobile space,” Jackson added.

As hardware reviewers, we immediately asked: how would a Microsoft take over of RIM impact our beloved Blackberry smart phones? Would Microsoft insist on increasing the market share of its Window Mobile operating system by porting it over to BlackBerry hardware? Could RIM start manufacturing devices for Windows Mobile operating systems?

Either way, between its stock plunge and the Orange network suspending the BlackBerry Bold because of network issues, RIM is having a tough time. Good thing they released one awesome phone this week. Let us know what you think RIM should do in our poll and in the comments

Eye-Fi Announces Twitter Support
October 9th, 2008 by Dana Wollman

Eye-Fi already makes it simple to wirelessly upload photos to your favorite sharing sites, even on the go, but now it alerts your friends as well. As of today, users can integrate their Eye-Fi card with Twitter so that your followers will instantly know you’ve uploaded photos, and will receive a link to the new pics. You can even customize the message that your friends will see.

The company also now allows users to publish RSS feeds of photos to Google Reader, My Yahoo!, bloglines, newsgator, Pageflakes, netvibes, and others.

Now, just make sure you’re happy with all your photos before you add your Twitter account to the mix. The last thing you need is to accidentally broadcast those debaucharous photos you took last weekend by simply turning on the camera in the vicinity of your router.

What makes iPhone a great business phone? Simple. The same features that make it a revolutionary mobile device. With iPhone 2.0 sof

tware, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.

“Kraft’s GAL consists of 64,000 people spread across the globe. With iPhone and the 2.0 software, our employees now have the ability to find anyone, anyplace, just by reaching into their pocket.”

Mark Dajani, CIO
Kraft

Best email on a mobile device.

Email on iPhone offers a viewing experience unlike any other mobile device. Its rich HTML format means email looks and acts like email on your computer. With support for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, and now iWork, attachments can be viewed exactly as they were designed to be. Users can even zoom in on important information with the tap of a finger. And now that iPhone has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, users get all the benefits of push email.

Up-to-the-minute calendar.

With its Multi-Touch interface, no other mobile calen

dar application is as intuitive or simple to use. Tap to accept or decline a meeting invitation. Tap again to see who’s attending, check scheduling conflicts, review the agenda, or add alerts. Color coding makes calendar entries easy to organize and view at a glance. And push calendar and integrated support for time zones means users can stay up to date no matter where their business takes them.

Support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and industry-standard corporate security standards allows IT professionals to seamlessly integrate iPhone into their corporate environments.

Want to deploy iPhone in your enterprise?

Features include:

• Push email
• Push contacts
• Push calendar
• Global Address List (GAL) support
• Certificates and identities
• WPA2/802.1X
• Enforced security policies

• More VPN protocols
• Device configuration

More powerful contacts.

Finding contacts on iPhone is as simple as scrolling through your contact list or using the search feature. Add or change a contact and it updates everywhere automatically. But what really makes Contacts ideal for business is its seamless integration with features such as Maps, Safari, and SMS. Find customer offices using Maps with GPS. Get directions and call directly from map listings to confirm. Add vCards received via email. Look up contacts faster with search support for companywide Global Address Lists (GAL). And with push contacts on iPhone, contact lists are always up to date.

Desktop-class web browsing.

iPhone uses Safari — the most advanced browser on a mobile device — and displays the web the way it was designed to be seen. With support for web standards, SSL, and Cisco IPSec VPN, iPhone delivers secure access to corporate intranets so users can access their company’s resources wherever they are. Web Clips give quick, one-tap access from the Home screen to important websites and web applications. And the fastest available connection to the web is always ensured, whether it’s EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.

Enterprise applications.

With support for custom-designed enterprise applications, iPhone becomes a must-have mobile device for businesses. Using the iPhone SDK, an enterprise can easily create applications customized to its business needs and even take advantage of key iPhone technologies such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, fast wireless connectivity, and GPS. To deploy their in-house applications, companies can securely sync the applications via iTunes to authorized iPhones. Once installed, enterprise applications live side by side with all the other applications that come with every iPhone.

Smarter phone features.

iPhone is a revolutionary phone that also helps manage daily work calls. Visual Voicemail allows users to prioritize which messages to listen to first and fast-track through a message to get to key information. Swapping and merging calls and even initiating conference calls is easy. To add an attendee, just tap a name from a contact list or company GAL.

More for business.

iPhone has even more great features for business users. Find a customer’s address and get directions with GPS-powered Maps. Send SMS messages to multiple recipients. Get a one-tap weather report before your next business trip. Check stocks at a glance. Write notes to save or email. Even perform complex calculations with the built-in scientific calculator.

ASUS Eee PC 1000H vs. MSI Wind: 10-inch Mini-Notebook Face Off

Build and Design. ASUS Eee PC 1000H
Measuring 10.5 x 7.5 x 1.0 to 1.5 inches and weighing 3.2 pounds, the Eee PC 1000H has some added love handles to its Eee PC predecessors' skinny stature. It can fit easily into a notebook bag or purse or be carried in-hand, but its new silver hinge adds some bulk.

The Eee PC 1000H boasts elegance. Its glossy black “Fine Ebony” lid is accented with the new Eee PC logo in a cursive font. The improved silver hinge, glossy plastic veneer, and sharp black-on-silver design make this system look anything but budget.

The 1000H comes with the standard array of ports: three USB 2.0, a memory card slot, VGA-out, Ethernet, and headphone and microphone jacks.

MSI Wind NB
By way of comparison, the MSI Wind is a bit slimmer than the 1000H at 10.2 x 7.1 x 0.7- inches. But you have to open the Wind and 1000H side-by-side to notice the difference. Weighing in at 3 pounds, the Wind is 2 ounces lighter than its rival

Like the HP Mini-Note, the Wind has saved space by placing the notebook hinge flush with, rather than above the keyboard. This sunken screen design takes about an inch off the height, allowing users to more easily look across the meeting table or at the front of the classroom as they type. The Wind NB is less flashy than the Eee PC 1000H but sports a minimalist white finish (also available in black and pink) with rounded edges. Similar to the original white ASUS Eee PC, this system’s lid features a low-luster finish, resistant to fingerprint smudges. Like the 1000H, the Wind features 3 USB 2.0 ports, a memory card slot, ethernet port, headphone and microphone jacks, VGA, and a Kensington lock.

Winner: Tie. This round comes down to personal preference, making it too close to call. We prefer the improved and elegant design of the Eee PC 1000H over the Wind, but the 1000H’s bigger stature will have others leaning towards the Wind.

A Friend (The Valentine's Day Poem)

A friend to light a candle
When darkness overcomes.
A friend to hold you closer
When distant thunder drums.

A friend to gently tie you
When sirens sing your name.
A friend with words to soothe you
When life's a losing game.

A friend to cool your passions
When passions take their hold.
A friend to warm you gently
When a frozen heart's too cold.

A friend to spread contentment
As seasons wax and wane,
Make sense of love's confusion,
And bear life's grief and pain.

A friend who knows this season
Of love; both yours and mine.
A friend, another reason,
To send this Valentine.

Motorola Q Silver Cell Phone

If you think smart phones are for geeks, think again. The sexy silver Motorola Q is the first smart phone with a full keyboard that's slim enough to disappear in your pocket. At $199 with a two-year contract, it's also surprisingly affordable. Only a few flaws keep the Q from being the Holy Grail of hybrids.
With its RAZR-like profile, the Q weighs 4.1 ounces and measures a mere 0.5-inches thin. Stack two Qs on top of one another and you have about the same thickness as the Treo. Even more impressive than this gadget's dimensions is the full-sized keyboard. Because there's a fair amount of spacing between the keys, we had no problems typing at a rapid rate right out of the box.
Just be sure not to make too many typos. For some strange reason, Motorola decided to place the backspace key above the keyboard next to the navigation pad. We also wish there were dedicated volume controls on this phone. The scroll wheel does the trick, but only while you're within the phone application or Windows Media Player Mobile.
The Q boasts a very bright 2.4-inch QVGA display. It's not a touchscreen, but this smart phone is a cinch to navigate with one hand using either the scoll wheel or navigation pad. The bottom of the keyboard is lined with a few shortcut keys for the camera, the speakerphone, and e-mail/dimming the display.
A 1.3-MP camera resides on the back of the Q, which took colorful but slightly blurry pictures. The miniSD card slot on the left side is there for saving those shots or loading the Q up with your favorite tunes. Powered by a 312-MHz processor and featuring 64MB of RAM, the Q delivered good performance when it came to accessing our e-mail, contacts, and calendar using Outlook Mobile. However, it took about six seconds to open the Pictures & Videos app with other apps running in the background. Fortunately, Motorola includes a Task Manager utility that lets you kill any running program.
Thanks to Verizon Wireless' EV-DO network, the Q surfs the Web and downloads e-mail attachments at a reasonably fast clip. In our tests the Motorola averaged 401 Kbps, on the low end of the 400 to 700 Kbps you're supposed to get. Like the Treo 700p, the Motorola Q took about a minute to load the entire The New York Times homepage, but whereas the Treo's Blazer Browser begins loading Web pages immediately, the Q took anywhere from 10 to 15 seconds to get going. The Q would come in handy as a laptop modem—if Verizon decides to enable dial-up networking.
The Q is a very capable e-mail device, with native support for POP3/IMAP accounts, as well as GoodLink and Verizon Wireless' push-based Wireless Sync solution. You can view but not edit attachments, a limitation unique to Microsoft's Smartphone Edition of Windows Mobile 5.0. The included Picsel Viewer did't impress; in order to see a Word document, we had to zoom in so far that we couldn't see the entire page at once, causing us to scroll left to right. Another feature this Smartphone device lacks is a Notes application, though you can buy one.
Compatibility with Windows Media Player 10 makes the Q a serviceable digital audio player, complete with album art and support for PlaysForSure online music stores and subscription services. Actually, the Q trumps the iPod in one respect; as the first smart phone with Bluetooth stereo support, you can listen to tracks wirelessly and then switch over to take a call using a set of wireless headphones. We paired the Q with Motorola's HT820 and enjoyed decent sound quality, although we noticed occasional skipping.
Equipped with four internal antennas, the Q performed very well when making calls, delivering crisp audio quality for both parties. This smart phone fell out of EV-DO range only a few times during testing. Battery life was just okay; we were down to one-third capacity after about a day and a half of periodic use, which suggests you'll need to recharge every three days. Power users can upgrade to a larger-capacity battery for $59.99.
One expense you can't avoid is Verizon's pricey monthly plans. For instance, 1350 minutes with unlimited data costs $109 per month, $15 more than Sprint charges for 1400 minutes plus unlimied data.While it lacks the ease of use and sheer speed of the Treo, the Motorola Q is a well-rounded smart phone that's priced right for the masses. It's sleek, powerful enough for most users, and fun.
