Nokia N97 Another Leap for Nokia

Nokia released the proto type of Nokia N97 to the hands of bloggers and web site reviewers . Officially it launched a campaign in Nokia Europe web site. It started a dedicated N97 page also (no mush information ) I can see that after Nokia’s N95 ,this phone will be the best phone for ever (at least next 2 years..)Sony Xperia won the race as It released the similar phone before Nokia starts talking about it.

At www.pspezone.com ,we have  launched a dedicated N97 page ,that will give all the updates time to time until the official release and after that also. Now you can see few videos also Visit:

Nokia Predicts As The Mobile Maket falls down. Gloabl Economic Crisis and Lack of New Technology

n96

On Friday(14/11/08), the Finnish communications giant said it expects to ship 330 million handsets in the quarter. Consequently, Nokia’s shipments forecast for the whole of 2008 dropped from 1.26 billion units to 1.24 billion.

“As a result of the rapid change in global consumer spending, which has impacted the mobile-device market, Nokia now expects that the industry mobile-device volumes will be lower in the fourth quarter of 2008 than previously expected,” the company said in a statement. Nokia also suggested it was being affected by some of its trade customers finding it hard to get credit in the current climate. This is the view of Nokia. The way it looks at it.

I strongly believe not only the global economic crisis lead to this way . There is another factor to consider.  As we have seen a rapid growth in the mobile technology for last 5 years ,and almost reached the peak of mobile technology now, there is no enough room for further growth.

all in ones

TV,GPS,WIFI,Blou Tooh,IR,Wide Screen, Big screen,Touch Screen,Radio,MP3 players, VIDEO Cam,Digital Cams,qwerty Keyboards and more function Now intergreated with a single phone apart from it’s principle function as a communication device.

Most of this developments took place during last 3 to 5 years. Now it is a state of panic with a question “what is next ?”

If you see the recent developments of new mobiles from the famous mobile giants Nokia,Black Berry,Samsung, and Sony Ericsson , the technologies are almost same.

When you compare any phones with Nokia N95 8Gb ,you will see a small differences only in the mentioned functions . May be different in input as touch screen or qwerty key board.Or may have a higher MP camera.

But the name of the technology almost same . When you check the specs of this mobile devices you will get to know the facts (I have written enough about this device in my technology forums at www.pspezone.com/forum )

1)Nokia N96

2)Nokia Xpress Music 5800

3)Samungs Inov8

4)Sony Xperiea

5)Black Berry Storm

So the main facts are

1)Global Economic Crisis

2)Lack of new invention in Mobile technology

The buying power of the customers has been reduced all over the world specially of the higher power European markets. This has the immediate impact but the lacking of technology devices is a slow impact.

Few more developments I can see mobiles going to have

1)WIMAX instead of WIFI

2)Projectors inbuilt (already china manufacturer released a phone with it)

Other than this if any one suggest reasonable tech updates please write in the comments.

A lot of rumors coming about this mobile giant recently as they may expand some more new business as soon as possible.

Nokia is one of the old companies in the world as it is started it’s business in 1865 in a river bank as a wood-pulp mill.Yes Nokia’s first business was the paper industry. Then it changes into rubber and rubber product manufacturing after roughly hundred years (1967).

Nokia HQ

Nokia HQ

In 1960s it started to step in telecommunication area also and released first world’s portable phone in 1987. In 1990s it was a massive success ,even though the first mobiles are very expensive and per call costs 30 to 40 times than a normal land line call.

As it given continuous rapid growth It’s main focus became on Mobiles. .

Now all of us are eye witnessing the golden age of mobile phones .As like many others Nokia also aware that it also will not last another plenty of years. Thats why you can see a significant term changes in Nokia’s advertisement and events, “computer” human technology” “multimedia computer” are the main key words Nokia using more nowadays other than smart phones and mobiles.

Acer Laptops with 6 speakers with 5.1 surround sound system

(AP) — Acer Inc., the Taiwanese computer maker that bought Gateway last year, said that it now aims to take laptop users as close as they can get to the high-definition home theater experience.

The top model of the new “Gemstone blue” line of laptops has a screen with the same resolution as an a top-of-the-line HDTV, at 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels, and will have six speakers, including a subwoofer, for so-called “5.1″ surround sound.

The computer will go sale next month in the U.S. for $1,999. A model with three speakers and a smaller screen (but still HD resolution) will cost $1,699. Both will have built-in Blu-ray disc drives.

The computer industry has long had its set of standard screen resolutions, while the consumer electronics industry has standardized on different ones. Acer’s Blue line effectively adopts the consumer-electronics standard, which means that many movies and all HD TV shows will fill the screen, without black bars.

Acer said the laptops would be the first with 1,920-by-1,080 screens, and the top model is the first laptop with six speakers.

The $1,999 model has an 18.4-inch screen, placing it in the “desktop replacement” category of heavy laptops that aren’t meant for more than occasional travel.

NOw the time to save money ,to buy the new model and donate the present one to some one else ……..

A warning for Pay Pal Users :: Phishing Emails like real

Prove of lost account password : My experience  
I am an eBay seller , and using pay pal for purchase so many services like domain names, server space on the net for last few years.
The growth of the email scam is very high and very professional like a real email from relevant company nowadays. I did not cheated by this mails as I am aware about this and living on internet almost 18 hours a day. But I can see lot of people lost their pay pal account to the spammers. I have real expels for it.
I have listed my used laptop in embay last month. I offered a price USD 650 ,I got an inquiry about the model further from a eBay member, I briefed it to him(?) on mail,Within minutes I got the reply from the user that he is interested in my laptop and want to offer little more as I want to ship him to a Italy ,and offer him a under valued invoice (for customs purpose) and rushed me to send the good immediately. Please note this guy claimed that he is from USA and want to present this laptop to his friend in Italy ,and he said he will go to Italy within couple of days to do it.
I told him to pay first ,on my pay pal account, he agreed and took a day, then I got the message from pay pal ,that I got funds in my account, happily I checked my account ,I found the funds are on hold. I confued why it is not approved by pay pal.
I got a call from pay pal customer service they verified me about the transaction and told me that the are suspicious about the buyers account. Then finally they found the transaction as fraud and cancelled it. The money on hold in my account withdrawn by pay pal.
The summery of this incident   :
  1. Mr X stealed Mr Y’s pay pal user name and password
  2. Mr X lives in Italy ,not in the same country of the account holder
  3. Mr X rushed me to but it before the account holder realize it
  4. Mr X offer higher price (as that is not his money ) to make the process fast
Dear sellers on eBay or like sites , please aware about such activity of a buyer. When I checked the buyer on eBay his identity is not verified.
As an account holder how do you loss your user name and what phishing email ?
You may get following emails
  • You get email from Pay Pal about your account verification ,even after verified and used for long time. Pay pad does not send emails like that .
  • Some announcements from pay pal, asking you to update your contact information ,but when you see the from address it is not from pay pal, it is form another id. Pay pal never ask you to update your contact details via email.
  • Some time you get really looks like pay pal’s “from email ID” . with a click on link ,asked to click on the pay pal  link to enter pay pal.
Make sure , that delete such emails immediately , pay pal never provide you email links to click and visit their sites. The only saver way to use pay pal site is ,open  a new browser window and type www.paypal.com then log in
  • Don’t follow any email link to go pay pal
  • Don’t reply any other related merchant looks like eBay or any one via email about pay pal account
  • If you want to update any information on any eCommerce web site ,just go to the web directly from your browser and update in the system. Not by following email links .
