Netbook límita precios de los smartphone

11/19/2008, 23:43 | ConCafé

¡Café portátil! Los precios de la Netbook pone límite al precios de los smartphone. Con los incrementos de precio en Venezuela, mas de un consumidor se pregunta si vale la pena pagar casi 2.700 bolìvares un BlackBerry Bold o 2.500 bolìvares por un iPhone 3G, ¿No serà mejor comprarse una NetBook?

El término Netbook fue re-introducido por el fabriccante de procesadores Intel en Febrero de 2008 para referirse a un subportátil, es decir una categoría de ordenador de bajo coste y reducidas dimensiones, utilizadas principalmente para navegar por Internet y realizar funciones básicas, como, por ejemplo, proceso de texto y de hojas de cálculo.

Acer Aspire One. Su precio ronda los dos mil bolìvares. Me la obsequiaron en Computodo. Aparte la suya por el +58 246 871 54 23 oel + 58 414 468 74 23.

Originalmente, el término había sido introducido por la empresa Psion para utilizarlo en una gama de computadoras portátiles similares a una handheld, lanzada en 1999. Psion obtuvo el registro de la marca en los Estados Unidos en noviembre del año 2000.

Cuando algunos sitios wen usan Nettop, para identificar a las computadoras que tienen características similares de tamaño, prestaciones y precio, pero no son portátiles, sino de escritorio.

HP 2133 MiniNotes otra netbook. La tienen en MCTIME en dos versiones.

El Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC), o PC Ultra Móvil en español, previamente conocido por su nombre código Project Origami (Proyecto Origami), es un Tablet PC de factor de forma pequeño.

Este acaso fue un ejercicio de desarrollo conjunto entre Microsoft, Intel, y Samsung, entre otros. Ofrece el sistema operativo Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 o Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, o Linux y tiene un microprocesador Intel Pentium de voltaje ultra bajo, corriendo en el rango de 1 GHz. La portabilidad de la PC Ultra Móvil puede ser atractivo a los viajeros internacionales de negocios y a los “viajeros con mochila” (backpackers) globales.

HP 2133 MiniNotes ahora abierta.

Volviendo a las Netbook, estas son subportátil, del inglés subnotebook, es una computadora portátil más pequeña y liviana, con la mayoría de las características normales de las laptops que bien conocemos.

La denominación suele aplicarse a equipos que corren versiones completas de sistemas operativos de escritorio como Windows o Linux, en vez de sistemas específicos como Windows CE o Palm OS.

La propuesta NetBook de Toshiba la NB105. Esta disponible en México.

Intel ha re-introducido el término netbook para referirse a este tipo de computadoras, dado que se utilizan casi exclusivamente para navegar por Internet; sin embargo, “Netbook” fue registrado como marca por la empresa Psion en los Estados Unidos para comercializar computadoras portátiles.

Diferenciando

Algunos lectores podrìan confundir esta definición con las sigla UMPC (Ultra-Mobile PC o PC Ultra Móvil) ya esxplicadas anteriormente, la diferencia estiba en que estás abarcan a las computadoras de menor tamaño como handhelds o también llamados PDA (Personal Digital Assistants). Estos ya los conoce usted ami@s lectores, son los llamados computadoras de la palma de la mano y fueron diseñados originalmente como organizadores personales, y ellos hacen esto realmente bien y que no necesariamente ejecutan software de escritorio. Ej.: Palm Treo, BlackBerry, iPhone.

Las subportátiles son más pequeñas que las portátiles tradicionales pero más grandes que las handhelds. Generalmente poseen pantallas de menor tamaño, de entre 7 y 13,3 pulgadas, y un peso que varía desde menos de uno hasta dos kilogramos. El ahorro en peso y tamaño generalmente se obtiene omitiendo algunos puertos o unidades ópticas, además de utilizar chipsets de menor potencia.

Este tipo de computadora nunca ha gozado de un gran éxito hasta la introducción en el año 2007 de la ASUS Eee PC. Se afirma también que han tomado la idea de la iniciativa de Nicholas Negroponte, One Laptop Per Child (una laptop por niño).

Se estima que para 2011 más de 50 millones de subportátiles estarán en circulación.

Ofimayor ofrece la posibilidad de comprar en líne la Síragon ML 1010.

NetBook Protagónicas

Mi amigo Adolfo Manaure me comento sobre la propuesta de Lenovo D10. Tengo en estos momentos en las manos, de hecho estoy escribiendo de una Acer AspireOne, mi amigo Luis Alfredo Toro Febres Cordero se compro una DELL Inspiron Mini, Toshiba tiene su NB105, HP tiene la 2133 Mininote.

¿Funciona el concepto?

Como usuario puedo decir que si. Pero pongamonos en los zápatos de la industria. “La Sìragon ML 1010 es el fenómeno del momento en el mercado venezolano y estamos buscando responde a la confianza del público venezolano” dijo por celular a con-cafe.com el Sr.  Jhonathan Hernández del Departamento de Publicidad y Medios de Siragon en Valencia.

¿Exagera el Sr. Hernández? No creo. Uno de nuestros reporteros en Maracay, Jesús Màrquez atestigua que en American Computer en una hora vendieron 100 unidades de ML 1010.

Con tan buenos precios en estas NetBook en Venezuela,: ¿Qué será mejor ? Pagar casi 2.700 bolívares por un BlackBerry Bold, unos  2.500 bolìvares por un iPhone 3G, ó comrparse una NetBook?



First Look: FrontPocket for iPhone and iPod touch

11/19/2008, 17:00 | TUAW

Filed under: , , , ,

As a gadget hound and productivity freak, I've tried just about everything over the past 10+ years, both hardware and software. My gadgets have included a Palm IIIe, two Handspring Visors, a Newton 2100, a Newton eMate and a Palm Tungsten E2. They were all nice (some more than others), but each shared deficits of one type or another. Graffiti and easily-lost styluses were two biggies.

As for software, I've used iGTD, Omnifocus, Tracks, Midnight Inbox, Things, MonkeyGTD and more. Again, they're nice but share a common issue. Namely, each solution is limited to the author's interpretation of how an organizational system works best. I don't want to learn a piece of software before I can begin managing my stuff. Nor do I want to be limited to the author's ideas, even the great ones. Basically, I want an electronic version of my favorite tool - paper.

I do nearly all of my capturing and organizing with pen and paper, as nothing is more useful, flexible or promising. A blank page is pure potential. You can create a grocery list or sketch a solution to world hunger on the back of a napkin. I was about to give up on software when I tried Backpack. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Backpack offers users a blank page. You can type anywhere, move objects around, add notes, lists, to-do items or photos and files. There's no toolbar, no drawers, nothing. Just a fresh, white surface ready for input. I love it, and today my Backpack account is my virtual right arm.

On Sundays, I move all of the week's to-do items to a notebook, which I update from Monday to Saturday. On the following Sunday, I "sync" my notebook with my Backpack and start again. Sometimes, when I'm stuffing my cargo pants with the notebook, iPhone, wallet and keys, I think, "Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate something here?" Since Backpack on the iPhone is a dismal experience, I never did. Until now.

FrontPocket is a native iPhone and iPod touch application for Backpack. I've been using it for the past week and it's growing on me. It won't replace my notebook just yet, but it's got real potential. Click below to read more.

Update: The folks who produce FrontPocket let us know that version 1.1 is pending in the App Store now, and should fix the startup crashes and read-only errors that some users are experiencing.

Nokia E63 isn?t exactly low end E71

11/13/2008, 12:02 | Cellphone9: The Cellphone and Mobile Blog

Nokia E63

The Nokia E63 is the cheaper brother to the more elegant E71. Slightly thicker with more playful colors of blue and “Space Marine” red, the E63 boasts a similar form factor sans the secondary camera, HSDPA. It also comes with a lower resolution 2MP camera as compared to the E71’s 3.2MP camera. Truthfully, this is not a bad deal if you’ve always wanted to own an E71 but could not spare the extra cash. The phone is obviously targeted to compete with the Palm Centro which caters to a more young and hip market that desires much for a QWERTY keyboard.

One thing that the E63 has that the E71 doesn’t — a 3.5mm audio output! The E71 only has a 2.5mm which means you’d have to find a third party adapter to plug in your regular headphones.

* S60 3rd Edition FP1
* WiFi, 3G (no HSDPA?)
* Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
* Dual band WCDMA, 3 models: E63-1 900/2100 MHz, E63-2 850/1900 MHz, E63-3 850/2100 MHz
* Dimensions: 113 x 59 x 13 mm Weight: 126 g Volume: 87 cc
* 2 megapixel camera
* 2.36″ QVGA (240×320 pixel) display
* 3.5mm stereo AV socket
* Micro-USB connector
* 110 MB internal memory plus microSD socket (up to 8GB)
* FM radio with RDS
* 1500mAh battery

Fusion Voicemail Plus App Is Visual Voicemail For Android

11/13/2008, 01:15 | Gizmodo: Smartphones

T-Mobile may not have an official Visual Voicemail service for customers, but PhoneFusion plans to change that—for the Google G1, at least. The app, which was previewed today at the Under The Radar Mobility Conference, is currently available on the Palm, Windows Mobile and Blackberry platforms, and works in a similar fashion as the VV apps on the iPhone and Instinct; the name, number, date and time for each of the messages in your inbox appears on the screen as a list of entries. As far as Android specific details go, there's not much info on the app except that it will appear in the Android Marketplace by the end of the year. [NewsBlaze via IntoMobile]



Samsung BlackJack Smartphone

01/01/1970, 01:00 | WIRED Gadget Lab

IHit me! No, I'm not sitting on an ace-five hand with two Gs in the pot. I'm delirious with glee about my stuffed-to-the-gills BlackJack from Samsung. How could you not love bathing in all the geekified accessories in this package? There's a 1.3-megapixel digicam, Bluetooth, full QWERTY keyboard, instant messenger, Windows Media Player, microSD card slot, high-speed 3G connectivity, and side thumbwheel for easy navigation. Phew! After you sit down, have a glass of water, and get your bearings, you'll notice a few shortcomings: no touchscreen, no Palm OS, a clunky interface, and supershort battery life. Daily charging? Who has time for that? Still, it's a slick next-gen smartphone with more features than you'll probably need, and at least it's not called the BLKJCK. -- Erik Malinowski
