Overview of the Sony Ericsson Arc S

January 11th, 2012 | Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones, Sony Ericsson

The Sony Ericsson Arc is one of the latest Android smartphones to be produced.  The company’s previous smartphone was roundly criticised but this Sony Ericsson Arc S review will demonstrate that they are back on track.

The most immediate reaction when seeing the Arc for the first time is to notice how thin it is.  Its distinctive curved shape emphasises its looks, measuring only 8.7mm in thickness.  There are two colour choices available, silver and blue, which enhance the sophisticated design.  The 4.2-inch screen is bigger than most of its competitors. 

However, against the current trend, it does not possess a dual-core processor.  Its design, coupled with a fast 1GHz processor manufactured by Snapdragon, enables it to meet all the requirements of current smartphones, though.  It runs on the latest Android platform, Gingerbread.

Another standout feature is the camera, coming in at 8.1 megapixels.  When combined with a proper CMOS sensor, Sony’s Exmor R, it takes stunning photographs.  There is a low-light sensor, autofocus activated by touch and an LED flash too.  The video is great as well, recording at 720p and equipped with a video light and stabilisation functionality.  Sony Ericsson has its own Timescape interface enhancements that run on top of the Android platform.  The excellent GPS has Google Maps pre-installed, as well as Google Latitude, a great app that informs your chosen friends where you currently are. 

This elegant-looking smartphone competes with all the other high-end Android phones, so check out the Sony Ericsson Arc deals to see if this phone is for you.

WordPress and Web Building

January 1st, 2012 | mobile technology

The development of websites used to be the sole domain of the computer literate and technical whiz kids.  The development of WordPress has changed all of this and now anyone who can download the free software can build their own website, even adding graphics and video clips to the content.  There are many online tutorials to help the beginner and these also give helpful hints about hosting and domain names.

Whether the WordPress website is to be used for blogging or for ecommerce, most users contact a professional web hosting company to register their domain name and also run their WordPress hosting for them. The choice of domain name is important as the more effective the name, the more the brand will be endorsed and remain in the human memory.  Companies such as 34SP.com use servers with PHP hosting and MySQL hosting which are specifically designed for use with WordPress.  Most websites administered by a web hosting company do look more professional and researchers using the ‘Who Is’ tool to try to discover more about the website will be satisfied that the website they are researching is legitimate and also hosted by a professional company.  SEO functionality is also good with professionally hosted websites.

Many WordPress sites use professional web hosting companies in order to protect against spam and viruses.  Any cyber attack is costly, time-consuming and irritating, and the use of a web hosting company can help filter and minimise these dangers.

What is a BlackBerry Smartphone?

December 15th, 2011 | Blackberry, Mobile Phones

Blackberry is a series of smartphones launched in 1999 by Research In Motion, a Canadian telecommunications company based in Waterloo, Ontario.  Thanks to this line, RIM is currently the fourth most popular smartphone manufacturer after Google, Sony Ericsson and Apple, controlling 11.7 percent of the world market.

A very noteworthy feature of BlackBerry phones is BlackBerry Messenger, allowing Blackberry users to send each other text messages free of charge.  There is also support for groups, shared calendars and many other features.

A famous BlackBerry user is none other than President Obama. He became so dependent on his device that he insisted on using it even after his inauguration, despite security issues. This made him the first US President to use mobile e-mail and hence earned him the reputation of being the first “plugged in” President.

The latest models of Blackberry smartphones include the Bold 9900, Torch 9810 and Torch 9850. These are equipped with a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, 768MB of RAM and 8GB of on-board storage.  MicroSD cards with a capacity of up to 32GB are supported by all Blackberry devices running Blackberry OS 5 and above.

Blackberry’s app store is called AppWorld. While it may not have such a great range as the Android Marketplace or the Apple App Store, all the apps that most people will ever need are available.

Even though not without its flaws, Blackberry still remains one of the most popular smartphone brands on the market, despite tough competition from iOS, Android and Palm WebOS.
