Overclock do iphone

O processador do iPhone 3G na verdade é de 600Mhz e do 3GS é de 833Mhz, mas a Apple limita a operação dos processadores a 412Mhz e 600Mhz respectivamente. É possível retirar a limitação tornando o celular mais rápido, porém isso irá anular a garantia e o superaquecimento pode diminuir a vida útil do celular ou até mesmo danificá-lo.

Google compra BumpTop e pode trazer ambiente 3D para o Android

A Google começou o ano em uma corrida de aquisições, outra aquisição foi a bumptop, cujo produto é um ambiente gráfico em 3D para a área de trabalho. Já se especula que a Google implemente este ambiente no Android.

Google acquires BumpTop, possibly bringing features to Android - Boy Genius Report:

"Google is certainly making good on their promise to again start acquiring companies on a pretty quick pace. Latest on the list is BumpTop, a multitouch 3D interface for the computer desktop. Chatter around the web has suggested Google might use some of BumpTop's IP to give Android a makeover, possibly even making a 3D environment. Then, of course, there's the fantastic multitouch implementation BumpTop has integrated into their UI and it's pretty impressive. BumpTop raised $1.65 million in funding in 2007 and the rumored selling price is said to be $35-$40 million. Check out the video of it in action after the break!"

Filmando em resolução HD (720p) com o iPhone OS 4

Informações encontradas no iPhone 4 SDK beta confirmam o suporte a vídeos em HD no iPhone OS 4. O hardware do iPhone 3GS já é capaz de fazer gravações em HD em teoria, basta ver se o update do OS vai permitir que o iPhone 3GS também gravem em HD, ou se este recurso será exclusivo do próximo iPhone, cada vez mais conhecido como iPhone HD.

iPhone OS 4 unlocks 720p video capture, further solidifying iPhone HD? - Engadget:
Last time on let's-speculate-about-Apple-products, the New iPhone rumor mill dug up dirt on video chat and a 5 megapixel camera. Now, it appears there might be one more reason to call it the iPhone HD. MacRumors reports that the iPhone SDK 4 beta includes the value "AVCaptureSessionPreset1280x720," leading some to believe Cupertino's next phone will record video in 720p. Mind you, the iPhone 3GS was technically already capable of that feat, so this might not have anything to do with a new handset, but honestly, at this point the iPhone's camera wouldn't be competitive recording in a smaller format anyhow.

HTML5, Scribd e Microsoft

Após as explicações do Steve Jobs de porque o iPhone e iPad não suportarem Flash e sim o HTML5, principalmente por ser uma tecnologia ultrapassada e que onera muito o processador dos equipamentos, opinião também compartilhada pela equipe do Opera, a Microsoft anunciou que o IE9 já suportará vídeo em HTML5.

Ainda falando em HTML5, além do Vimeo, Youtube, New York Times e outros sites estarem mudando a tecnologia do site para HTML5, que podem ser considerados sites iPad ready,  site Scribd que utilizava flash para apresentação dos documentos compartilhados, agora está utilizando HTML5 apenas.

Microsoft sides with Apple, embraces H.264 as HTML5 web video standard - Boy Genius Report:
Outside of the debate on the future of Flash and Flash video on the Internet is a separate but related battle over the video standard that will be supported by HTML5. On one side of the battle line is Firefox and Opera which has pledged support for the Ogg Theora video standard, and on the other side is Apple which has been pushing for H.264. Apple is no longer alone in this fight and now has an unlikely ally in Microsoft which announced on Thursday that IE 9 will support H.264 for HTML5 video. Ogg supporters are understandably disappointed with this decision as the two computing giants may now have the combined power to squash Ogg Theora support in these other browser platforms. Look for things to get messier before they get better as Google is expected to debut its own On2-derived V8 video protocol at Google I/O next month.

Scribd picks new Web technology over Flash - CNET News:

In one of the clearest examples so far of just how much Flash is threatened by next-generation Web technologies, Scribd, a service for hosting and sharing documents online, is moving to a future that doesn't require Adobe Systems' plug-in.

"After three years of building on Flash, Scribd is starting over and moving everything to HTML5," said Scribd co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jared Friedman in prepared remarks for a speech at the Web 2.0 Expo. "I think it's the largest deployment of HTML5 to date, and it's a bet-the-company decision for us."

Google venderá eBooks via Google Editions

Aproveitando todas as páginas scanneadas pelo Google Books e fechando acordo com editoras e autores o Google irá lançar o Google Editions para vender as versões online das publicações, estreando assim no mercado da Amazon e Apple, de venda de ebooks.


Google Editions Launching This Summer to Challenge Amazon, Apple - eWeek:

Google will sell some of the 12 million-plus books its has scanned online through Google Editions, a Webstore geared to challenge online books offered through Amazon's Kindle e-reader and Apple's iPad tablet computer.

While those devices keep digital books tethered through digital rights management software, Google Editions aims to lets users read books from practically any desktop, laptop or mobile gadget that features a full Web browser.

Microsoft e HP correndo atrás do iPad

Após rumores do cancelamento dos tablets HP Slate e Microsoft Courrier, Bill Gates em entrevista com a Fox Business Network diz que a Microsoft deve estar desenvolvendo um Tablet, porém orientado a utilizar caneta e não os dedos.
O cancelamento destes projetos parece ser devido ao Windows 7 não se adaptar bem a ser um sistema operacional orientado a toques e o uso do processador que seria necessário, que acarretaria em problemas no projeto do Tablet. Então com a contra da Palm pela HP, o próximo Tablet da HP provavelmente terá o WebOS e o tablet da Microsoft não será multitouch.

Bill Gates Says Microsoft Tablet Projects Are in the Works - eWeek:
"HP's current tablet with Microsoft Windows has not been well received by reviewers, and TBR believes the Windows PC operating system does not lend itself to a touch-screen tablet experience," John Spooner, an analyst for Technology Business Research, wrote in an April 30 research note. "Microsoft itself is finding the tablet PC market more complicated than expected … We believe a WebOS tablet will be better received than a Windows tablet, which may lead to adoption of WebOS tablet PCs in the enterprise."

Apple sells 1,000,000 iPads in revolution's first month - Engadget:
Steve told us it'd be revolutionary, and if sales are the measure of a device's success, then the iPad seems to be well on track to validating its creator's bold claims. This past Friday, "just 28 days after its introduction," Apple sold its millionth iPad. 1.5 million ebooks have already been downloaded to the device, along with 12 million apps. Steve Jobs has also taken time from his busy essay-writing schedule to remind us that that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve the milestone with the original iPhone, and demand for the "magical" slate continues to outstrip supply. Full PR after the break.

Como funciona multitarefa nos dispositivos móveis?

O iPhoneOS 4 irá permitir que 7 tipos de funções rodem em multitarefa, como música, tráfego de rede, voip, tudo isso de modo leve, pois não irá rodar a aplicação inteira em plano de fundo, apenas a parte da API. O Android funciona com um multitarefa que faz uma espécie de cópia e reciclagem da memória de programas que estão em plano de fundo a medida que precisa liberar mais memória e recursos. O Windows Mobile 7 só receberá notificações de aplicações e enviará notificações para aplicações em plano de fundo, basicamente só conseguirá executar uma aplicação por vez.

Giz Explains: How Multitasking Works on a Phone - Gizmodo:

"A smartphone is a computer that fits in your pocket, but it has some constraints that a desktop doesn't, which make multitasking far trickier (hence the reason we're even explaining it). Namely, these four resources are constricted, and they're what mostly shape the way multitasking works on phones:

• Screen real-estate: There's only so much you can do with a 3-to-4 inch screen at one time
• Battery life: You want your phone to actually last all day, or come close to it, right?
• CPU: It's slower than anything in a laptop, because of size and battery life
• Memory: There's not that much of it, also partly because of battery life"

As cinco maiores empresas de celular em vendas

A RIM, fabricante do BlackBerry, ultrapassou a Sony Ericsson e é agora uma das cinco empresas que mais venderam celular no mundo. Para valores de janeiro a março de 2010, a Nokia, que é a primeira, vendeu 108 milhões de celulares, a Samsung 64 milhões e a LG 27 milhões, no mercado americado a Apple ultrapassou a Motorola, vendendo 8.85 milhões de celulares no último trimeste.

Top Five Mobile Phone Vendors - IDC:

"Nokia started the year with a strong first-quarter unit shipment performance, driven by its top-selling 5130 and 2700 models. Shipments of 107.8 million in 1Q10 represented a nearly 16% improvement over the same quarter last year. The overall figures, however, fell short of the first-quarter high it set in 2008. Converged mobile device shipments increased sharply on a year-over-year basis due to top-selling models such as the 5230, 5800, 5530, and X6. However, average selling prices for converged mobile devices dropped to €155 in 1Q10, compared to €186 in the previous quarter. Nokia plans to ship the N8 (the first converged device to run the Symbian 3 operating system) in the third quarter. The N8 will cost €370, according to Nokia, and is expected to boost Nokia's overall ASP.

Samsung held steady as the number two vendor worldwide for the twelfth consecutive quarter with total shipment volumes greater than those of the next three vendors combined. Driving its results was a combination of new devices launched and expansion of distribution channels within emerging markets. Moreover, efforts to bring high end devices, including touchscreen phones and converged mobile devices, pushed ASPs higher. Samsung plans to launch more Android and bada-powered devices later this year while launching more touch-enabled devices for the mass-market.

LG Electronics remained the number three vendor worldwide with year-over-year shipment growth of nearly 20%, but declining revenue and profit due to seasonality and reduced prices. The abundance of feature phones at varying price points kept the company in good stead with carriers and customers, particularly within emerging markets where LG reaped triple digit growth. Still, the lack of a broad and deep smartphone portfolio made it vulnerable to competitor share gains, particularly within North America. LG plans to introduce several Android, Windows Mobile 6.5, and Windows Phone 7 devices later this year while expanding its global platform to reach new markets.

Research In Motion makes its first appearance among the top five vendors worldwide, with total shipments surpassing those of Motorola by nearly 2 million units. Research In Motion is the only vendor in the top 5 with a singular focus on smartphones, and as a result, the company enjoys the highest average selling prices within that group. Key to its success in the first quarter was the popularity of its BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold 9700 across multiple markets as well as its global prepaid offerings. Strong consumer adoption, particularly among text-crazy teens, has also fuelled demand for BlackBerry devices.

Sony Ericsson returned to profitability in the first quarter due to cost cutting and new product introductions. The joint venture launched six new handsets including three new Greenheart models - Aspen, Elm, and Hazel - as well as the Xperia X10 and Vivaz converged devices. Average selling prices rose 12% as Sony Ericsson pruned several less-profitable products from its lineup. However, overall shipments in the first quarter fell 28%. Three new converged devices – the Vivaz pro, Xperia X10 mini, and Xperia X10 mini pro – will ship towards end of the second quarter.

Apple iAds: Anúncios podem chegar a custar 10 milhões de dólares

Com um nicho de mercado fiel e disposto a pagar valores premium por produtos de marca, os usuarios dos produtos iPhone, iPad e iPod são o alvo ideal para propagandas do iAds, que espera também ter como parceiros anunciantes marcas que estejam dispostas a pagar pelo menos 100 a 200 mil dólares, sendo que anúncios podem chegar a custar 10 milhões.

Apple iAd Aims Upscale - Information week:

"High-profile partners are being sought by Apple for its iAd platform, ones willing to pay well and make a splash.

Apple has done what nearly every ad network wants to do: find a way to turn millions of high-end consumers with a disposable income-the very consumers who buy Apple products-into a captive audience for advertisers," said Mark Simon, VP of industry relations for search engine marketing firm Didit, in an e-mail. "Obviously, Apple wants to tap into that audience to offer advertisers a direct, premium ad buy."

Apple announced iAd when it presented a preview of its iPhone OS 4.0 earlier this month. In an attempt to differentiate the iAd experience from other mobile advertising, the company said that iAds will combine the emotional impact of television ads with the the interactivity of Web ads."

Lala vai fechar dia 31 de Maio

Não é tanta surpresa que o site irá fechar após a Apple comprá-la, para quem não conhece, o Lala é um site de compra e streaming de música, oferecendo serviços parecidos ao iTunes, só que totalmente web, sem precisar instalar um programa.

Não vou me surpreender se em breve a Apple anunciar um iTunes web.

Trecho da notícia original e link:

Lala closing on May 31st, web songs and unused credit will head to iTunes - Engadget:

"Can't say we're too surprised -- after all, it does somewhat compete with new management -- but still, we're quite sad to see that as of May 31st, Lala is closing its music-streaming doors to the world, and no new users will be accepted. Existing users, however, can take solace in some pretty nice parting gifts. According to the site, all money spent purchasing web songs -- soon to be rendered null and void by a loss of service -- will convert to iTunes credit. Ditto for wallet balances and unredeemed gift cards, although with those you can get a refund via check, if you choose to. As for the future of its staff, well, we're still waiting to see all the fruits of Apple's acquisition. In the meantime, crank your speakers, raise them high over your head, and let's make this month count."

speaking into their device. Apple did not comment on the buy, which marks a win for the computer maker as it fends off Google, Nokia and others in the arms race for applications that provide consumers with valuable mobile Web resources. Given Apple's approach of keeping everything regarding its applications and platforms in-house, it is doubtful Siri will ever grace Android or BlackBerry."

HP Compra a Palm

While very different these porting methods are both viable and I believe represent the most likely scenarios for porting a mobile app to AppUp."

Gizmodo: Why I've Replaced My iPhone's Music App With SoundHound - Soundhound - Gizmodo

Why I've Replaced My iPhone's Music App With SoundHound - Soundhound - Gizmodo: "Remember Midomi? It was a first-wave iPhone app that identified songs, hummed or recorded, via microphone. It's since grown into a much more ambitious app called SoundHound—ambitious enough to actually replace your iPhone's music app. Now, it's free.

SoundHound's music recognition feature is still prominently featured, and it still does its job. Unlike Shazam, it will hazard a guess at just about any tune thrown at it, whether it human or speaker-created, and it'll succeed most of the time. Quick tests from my music library had both Shazam and SoundHound correctly identifying the track, though SoundHound, which evaluates whether or not to submit the track to its servers at a series of intervals, rather than after single, set period, was often faster. Shazam's catalog did seem a bit deeper for more obscure tracks. But that's nothing new, really."
