Legal Siri Port is released official

10:01 PM Technology And Information

Grant Paul and Ryan Petrich are the two hackers who have recently introduced a Siri port which brings the entire voice assistant’s functionality to any jailbroken iOS5 gadget.

Unique Feature

Unlike other Siri ports; what makes this Siri port unique is the fact that it is legal. Actually, the previous attempts failed as obtaining files was a cumbersome task and it also involved copyright issues; however the Spire uses a unique method to obtain files necessary for Siri which relieves it from the copyright issues.





Pros and Cons

But, like everything in this world has its own share of pros and cons, likewise Apple still requires authorization to use Siri, which means you will have to use a proxy. Till the time there is no solution for jailbroken iPhone 4S, Siri port is a matter of using the phone’s own authentication tokens. Also, Paul believes once the iPhone 4S is jailbroken, no proxy server would be required.

Those of you who wish to have Spire can download it from Cydia now. Also, Spire uses about 100MB of data which means a Wi-Fi connection is a must have.

Gameloft to put almost all of its games for 99 cents

9:37 PM Technology And Information

First, it was EA Games that decided to put a wide range of its games for only 99 cents for the holidays and it is about time other game publishers join the bandwagon. The French company Gameloft which is popular with games such as Asphalt and a few others decided that it too could sell its games for 99 cents. In fact, Gameloft decided to sell all of its games to only 99 cents.

Some noteworthy games that will be put on sale include the Asphalt 6, N.O.V.A, Order & Chaos, Adventures of TinTin and many more. However, make sure that the devices are compatible before you decide to go on a spending spree. Unlike the iOS devices, Android devices face a lot more incompatibility issues partly due to the difference in hardware inside different Android devices.



Don’t go rushing into the spending spree just yet because this promotion will only start at 29th December 2011 at 10.00AM PST until 5th January 2012, 10.00AM PST. Should anyone go for it? Definitely! Gameloft games are certainly one of the best in the market and some of the reason on which not many people buy it is that it may cost a lot especially when it is on an Open Source (read: free) operating system.

LG to Bring Android 4.0 to Optimus

10:30 PM Technology And Information

Here is good news, just at the time we were feeling really bad about Google freezing it Android 4.0 rollout to its Samsung Nexus S smartphone. Now, the popular electronics giant, LG, has promised to upgrade its Optimus line of smartphones to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

While LG had already stated sometime ago that it would soon bring the update to the Optimus, we now have a concrete release date as well. Users will be able to experience the power of Android 4.0 on their smartphones, in the second quarter of 2012.

LG has further stated that it will start to deliver the rather yummy Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade to the LG Optimus LTE, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Prada Phone, the LG Optimus myTouch Q, the LG Optimus Sol and the LG Eclipse. In Q3 2012, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Q2, the LG Optimus EX, the LG Optimus Big and the LG Optimus 3D will also get the same upgrade. Since each region and mobile carrier is different and follows different rules, the dates of release of the upgrade will vary in different countries of the world, LG said.



The company has also stated that it will give more details as it nears the upgrade launch date for each region.

Though we are delighted to hear this news, we also are aware that LG is still lagging behind many other manufacturers that have promised the same upgrade as well, to their respective smartphones and mobile devices. Sony Ericsson has officially announced a March or April 2012 upgrade. Though HTC, Samsung and Motorola are yet to formally announce their release date, we think it might happen somewhere in early 2012.

Well, we are awaiting this release with bated breath. How about you? Do you think Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be as special as it is expected to be?

Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1

5:16 AM Technology And Information

The ASUS Transformer PRIME definitely turned around some heads as it is the first quad-core powered tablet with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor on board. The Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 inch tablet isn’t a quad-core tablet but it does have a dock as an optional accessory.

LTE is the way to go and the Motorola Droid Xyboard has that on board. This means that in an LTE covered territory, users can expect speeds around 22Mbps which is pretty fast to most people. As far as processor is concerned, the Xyboard 10.1 has a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM which is the norm for most high-end tablets today. The screen on the other hand utilizes the IPS technology which means that it features color accuracy unlike any other tablet much like the technology behind the Kindle Fire or the iPad for that reason. It also has a stylus as well.




Right now it is powered by Android Honeycomb which is geared to tablets mostly. The default UI given by Motorola can be choppy at times. On board the Droid Xyboard are a few additional applications installed by default such as Amazon Kindle, Evernote (this is where the stylus comes in handy), Madden NFL 12 and a few others. Starting at a price of $530 for a 16GB version, we’re not pretty sure that this is one tablet worth purchasing over the Transformer Prime.

LG 55-inch OLED HDTV- Coming Soon

5:10 AM Technology And Information

LG is all set to introduce a huge 55-inch OLED HDTV in January 2012. The new OLED technology is expected to deliver exceptionally good color quality along with response times.

Features of OLED HDTV

The super-slim panel is surely going to blow you away! What makes this HDTV unique from its counterparts is the 100,000:1 contrast ratio as well as broader color gamut which contributes in giving it a response time which is 1000x faster than LCD’s. Also, LG is going to unveil “White OLED” which vertically stacks red, green and blue diodes on a white diode base. If large-scale OLED is to take on LCD as well as plasma, those cheaper manufacturing costs will be essential.



LG’s Strategy Behind it

It is true that for a long time, LG has been into OLED TVs which are small yet expensive. That has forced LG to come up with something big but there is no word about the retail launch of this OLED TV.

With the new set, LG is trying to demonstrate how AMOLED systems which are commonly found and used in smartphones can effectively be extended to bigger panels used in television gadgets.

Rumors coming from other directions labeled iPad HD tablet as an improved version of an iPad 2 and not a completely new product, because the completely new tablet would bear the name of the iPad 3. So, stay tuned for more information about the new iPad HD, quite a different product from Apple.

Verizon Introduces 4G LTE

9:38 PM Technology And Information

If this past year has been considered the year of the tablet, the coming year seems to be even more so. Verizon has now introduced two brand new 4G LTE Android tablets in the market, just as promised. Originally the Motorola Xoom 2 tablets, they are now rebranded as Verizon Droid Xyboard tablets. Pretty strange name, huh? But we may just remember the name because it is so unique!

Initial Impressions of the Xyboard Tablets

There are currently two version of Xyboard, an 8.2” tablet and a 10” one too. Thinner than the original Xoom and more angular-looking, that is, more in line with the Droid RAZR, both the tablets are powered by a 1.2 dual-core processor, run Android 3.0 Honeycomb and come with 1GB RAM each. They are also equipped with the LTE radio, which is an added plus.



These tablets were released quietly, without much ado, just about the time the Kindle Fire came out into the market, also just before the entry of the Asus Transformer Prime.

Though they look stylish, the power and volume buttons are situated at the back. This feels really strange for a user. The other problem is the rather steep price of the tablets. Of course, LTE adds to the pricing factor, but still, we thought it was rather highly priced. On contract, the pricing starts at $429. An additional charge of $30 per month is levied on this plan, which makes the total seem really expensive.

Right now, there is no Wi-Fi version. Maybe that would bring down the price a tad bit. We are also hoping that the Xyboard would offer Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich at a future date. That would make the tablets such a pleasure to own….

8GB iPhone 4 to be released

11:00 PM Technology And Information

Reuters had recently released an exclusive stating that there are high chances that an 8GB version of the iPhone 4 will be released in a few weeks. This comes to a surprise to many because previously, iPhone 4 was available only in 16GB and 32GB respectively.

The 8GB iPhone 4 will be a lot cheaper than the other two versions of iPhones as Apple struggles to gain market that it had once dominated but recently lost to two operating systems: Android and Windows Phone 7. As of date, there is no definite answer for the new price of the iPhone although experts speculate that the price will not go below the $200 line.




Many more speculate that the iPhone 5 will be announced on September although there are no clear dates as to when it would be. The new iPhone 5 will definitely be worth the wait and reports stated that Apple had urged its factories to speed up the production of 45 million units of the new iPhone. With such number of units, there is no telling whether there will still be inadequate supply of the iPhone during its first week of release as this had happened with the release of previous versions of the iPhone.

Iphone 5 to Upgrade Camera and Lens

8:48 PM Technology And Information

Taiwanese supplier to supply LED flashes to Apple for iPhone 5

Apple has gone in for a major shift of its camera and flash features from its regular suppliers to a new Taiwanese supplier. The news came amidst confirmations that Apple iPhone 5 is set to have a disjointed camera and flash, one on either side of the gadget. The company is said to have contacted a firm in Taiwan for LED flashes. This can only mean that the new phone is going to have a remodeled and upgraded camera. Speculations are on that Apple has built over the loopholes in iPhone 4 for its new release. As per sources, production of the phone will probably begin in July.



Apple changes its major camera elements suppliers



The new concept of separating camera and the lens is a move to improve picture quality and to reduce the “red-eye” effect. Apple needed to make changes in its sensor in order to improve its camera function. It is in this regard that it has shifted the order from Philips to a Taiwanese firm. In iPhone 5, it is likely that an eight-megapixel CMOS sensor will be used. The supplier for this element is Omni vision. The decision to use Omni Vision instead of Sony is also a major shift.

MP3 player with Bluetooth

8:42 PM Technology And Information

With very low dimensions, Creative Zen Style M300 is an MP3 player that has an attractive view in many ways. Most likely it will compare with the iPod Nano, but the producer didn’t think so far.

The screen of 1.45″ is not touchscreen, but the buttons around it are. Internal storage capacity of 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB can be increased by an additional 32 GB via microSD slot. Supported audio formats are MP3, WMA and WAV, FLAC support is forgotten by the manufacturer. Along with an FM tuner, the Zen Style M300 player boasts with a Bluetooth 2.1 module.




Those who already have a pair of Bluetooth headphones are able to listen to music wirelessly from Creative Zen Style M300. The player from Apple cannot boast with such feature. Its integrated battery has an autonomy of 20 hours, but will be reduced quite a lot using the Bluetooth connection. Like the iPod Nano, Zen Style M300 can put the watch on the full screen display.

Also, video playback is possible by processing videos using an application installed on your PC, but I do not think that is a very customer-based function. The price is but one of the strengths of the MP3 player. Creative Zen Style M300 costs $50, $70 or $90 depending on its capacity. Those who are not interested by the Bluetooth module can purchase the Creative Zen Style M100 model which costs $40 with 4 GB and $60 with 8 GB.
