SEOUL, South Korea – Tech-savvy South Koreans began getting their coveted iPhones on Saturday amid fanfare and expectations the communication and entertainment device will shake up a local mobile market dominated by domestic giants Samsung and LG.

Hundreds of customers lined up to get their pre-ordered iPhones at an official launch event in Seoul, some waiting overnight. A 25-year-old university student was the first to get one, as music blared and strobe lights flashed.

“I’m so happy,” said Huh Jin-seok, the first recipient, who waited in line more than 26 hours and admitted to being “a little bit tired.”

A band played loud rockabilly music outside the venue near a clock that counted down the time until the launch. Those receiving their phones were among about 65,000 people who placed orders since Nov. 22.

South Korean mobile carrier KT Corp., Apple Inc.’s local partner, said about 850 people picked up iPhones at the event. Others were receiving them via delivery at their homes or offices.

“We’re hoping that this iPhone will be a trigger point for the smartphone market in Korea,” said Yang Hyun-mi, KT’s chief strategy officer, who said smartphones make up just 1 percent of all cell phones in the country. Smartphones are advanced cell phones with computer-like capabilities.

She declined to offer a sales forecast, but said the company was optimistic given higher-than-expected advance orders.

“We just think it will be really huge,” she said.

Lee Bo-ra, who designs beauty tools such as nail clippers and trimmers, said she plans to use her iPhone mostly to access maps and play “Guitar Hero,” the popular game in which users simulate playing rock and roll hits.

“Very,” she said when asked if she was satisfied with her iPhone so far.

The iPhone’s arrival after a long delay has generated excitement among South Korean consumers and industry analysts, who say it is likely to expand the domestic smartphone market and pose a challenge to local manufacturers Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc.

The sleek smartphone, which has grabbed headlines around the world and solidified Apple’s status as a purveyor of cutting-edge consumer electronics, was already available in many other Asian countries including Japan, where it launched last year. It made its official debut in China last month.

he Acer neoTouch is not just the next in the growing line of Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets. It’s the top device of a company that’s determined to enter the mobile phone game with a bang. The 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU is a great way to start and the other ingredients look quite on par: complete connectivity options, spacious high-res screen and something becoming fairly typical for smartphones these days – a 5 megapixel snapper.

A capacitive touchscreen on a PocketPC? No way? Well, you’d better get used to it because they are just going to keep on coming. The HTC HD2 may be the first of its kind but the next ones are just around the corner. And what’s even more important, a capacitive screen gives WinMo unmatched and absolutely unexpected user friendliness. With the large screen, icons are big, almost huge, and you can easily thumb your way around the menu and apps. Read more…

The N97 mini has quite a task on its hands, constantly being compared to the moe high ranking Nokia N97 even though it comes later to the market. As usually happens in such cases, the price difference that would have been present if both handsets were launched simultaneously is reduced and the balance of powers has shifted. Read more…

It’s crystal clear by now that the Nokia N900 has almost nothing to do with the traditional Nseries values. The full QWERTY side-slider may look similar to its double-digit mates but the Maemo experience is completely different. However, the N900 is not there for the mere sake of difference – a tablet and a phone, it tries to get the best of both worlds. These are worlds though where Nokia feels at home. Read more…

Q: Do You Need To Un-install AVG 8.5 Before Installing AVG Free 9.0.XXX ?

A: So for this answer I again contacted AVG/Grisoft and this is what they said…..”You do not need to un-install AVG 8.5 prior to AVG 9.0 installation. Best way is to follow Free FAQ 2385, which can be found on our AVG Free website: http://free.avg.com/ww-en/faq

But if you want to install AVG Free 9.0 the fastest way possible. Then Un-install AVG 8.5 then when that is done (A restart may be required) then install AVG 9.0 Via download.com. It may just be me but I found it way faster……With pre-removing AVG Free 8.5 before installing AVG Free 9.0…..

บริษัทวิจัยไอดีซีโชว์ผลสำรวจซึ่งชี้ว่าบริการด้านมัลติมีเดียจะสามารถทำเงินให้กับโอเปอเรเตอร์ในเอเชียแปซิฟิก (ไม่รวมญี่ปุ่น) ได้มากกว่าบริการรับส่งข้อความ SMS เป็นปีแรก ส่งให้มัลติมีเดียเป็นแหล่งรายได้หลักของบริการ non-voice หรือบริการที่ไม่เกี่ยวกับเสียงแล้วในขณะนี้

ไอดีซีระบุว่าปัจจัยผลักดันตลาดมัลติมีเดียที่สำคัญคือความแพร่หลายของโทรศัพท์มือถือเทคโนโลยีล้ำสมัย โดยไอดีซีเชื่อว่าบริการมัลติมีเดียจะมีมูลค่าตลาดสูงถึง 16,340 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐในปีนี้ คิดเป็น 11% ของรายได้รวมธุรกิจโทรศัพท์เคลื่อนที่

ด้าน SMS ซึ่งเคยเป็นแหล่งทำเงินหลักในกลุ่ม non-voice มานานหลายปีนั้นจะมีสัดส่วนราว 10% หรือประมาณ 14,650 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ

หลังจากเปิดให้ดาวน์โหลดโปรแกรมเบราว์เซอร์ไออี 8 อย่างเป็นทางการ ไมโครซอฟท์นำความคืบหน้าของไออี 9 (Internet Explorer 9) มาประกาศในงานประชุมนักพัฒนาซึ่งไมโครซอฟท์จัดขึ้นในชื่อ Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC) ในลอสเองเจลิสเมื่อปลายสัปดาห์ที่ผ่านมา โดยระบุว่าไมโครซอฟท์กำลังสนใจในมาตรฐานใหม่อย่าง HTML 5 รวมถึงแผนการทดสอบเพื่อป้องกันไม่ให้เกิดรูรั่วในโปรแกรมเบราว์เซอร์แบบที่เคยเป็นมาตลอด

ไมโครซอฟท์ยืนยันว่าไออี 9 จะมีประสิทธิภาพที่เพิ่มขึ้น ความสามารถใหม่ และรองรับมาตรฐานใหม่ โดยสตีเฟน ไซนอฟสกี (Stephen Sinofsky) ประธานธุรกิจวินโดวส์และวินโดวส์ไลฟ์ (Windows and Windows Live) ของไมโครซอฟท์ออกมายืนยันข่าวว่าไออีจะรองรับมาตรฐานใหม่อย่าง HTML 5 ซึ่งจะทำให้เว็บไซต์มีความสามารถเฉพาะทางที่เพิ่มขึ้น ไมโครซอฟท์ระบุว่าไออีประสบความสำเร็จงดงามแล้วจากการทดสอบ “Acid2 Test” ของโครงการมาตรฐานเว็บไซต์หรือ Web Standards Project ทั้งหมดเป็นเครื่องการันตีได้ว่าไมโครซอฟท์ให้ความสำคัญกับความสามารถในการทำงานร่วมกันหรือ compatibility มากขึ้น

เมื่อเริ่มพัฒนาได้เพียง 3 สัปดาห์ จึงเชื่อว่าไออี 9 จะยังไม่สามารถเปิดตัวได้ในอนาคตอันใกล้ โดยแม้จะมีการส่งไปทดสอบ Acid 2 แล้ว แต่ไมโครซอฟท์ก็ยังไม่เปิดเผยชุดรหัสหรือโค้ดโปรแกรมไออี 9

Grandi novità arrivano da casa Asus, che ha presentato un nuovo arrivato nella famiglia EeePc, precisamente Seashell 1201N.

Tante sono le novità introdotte da questo netbook, che andremo ad analizzare insieme.

Prima di tutto, dobbiamo precisare che, sia come caratteristiche che come prezzo, questo 1201N si piazza a metà tra un notebook ed un netbook. Che sia il pioniere di una nuova categoria di pc portatili?

Ad ogni modo, andiamo a vedere la sua scheda tecnica:

- display da 12 pollici, il più grande per quanto riguarda la famiglia EeePc

- processore dual core Intel Atom N330 (il primo sul mercato)

- scheda video Nvidia ION, che garantirà elevate prestazioni anche per film e giochi

- peso di 1.46KG (l’hardware potente si fa sentire)

- riproduzione audio a 7.1 canali

- supporto a video in HD

- uscita HDMI

- 3GB RAM

- 320GB Hard Disk

- 500GB di spazio web gratuito

- tastiera full size molto comoda da utilizzare con tasti ben distanziati tra loro in stile Apple.

Il Pc arriverà in Italia in tempo per le vacanze natalizie.

Potrà essere acquistato al prezzo di 499€. Cosa ne pensate?

Mi piace davvero tantissimo: è potente, ha caratteristiche davvero ottime, poi la tastiera è la fine del mondo.

Lasciate stare quella ciofeca di Nokia Booklet 3G, che costa 200€ in più e ha prestazioni decisamente inferiori!
