I saw this sound advise from a fellow forumer, I just thought it can be helpful to other UMPC users too,so I’ve decided to put it here on the blog, thanks friend..

Alright, I’ve just found a new trick that maximizes battery power on your UMPC. It involves activating XP’s power saving feature for the WiFi module.

• Click START -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
• Right click on your active wireless connection (usually named “Wireless Network Connection) and click on Properties.
• Under the General tab, click on Configure
• Click on the Advanced tab, scroll down the list to “Power Saving Mode”.
• Set Value from CAM to Max_PSP.
• Enjoy 10% better battery life!

Note that not all wireless access points support this power saving feature. If you find yourself having trouble initiating a wireless connection or if your connection intermittently drops, simply set the value back to CAM.

Other tips I’ve gathered is to minimize using USB, card readers, flash disk, etc. coz they are really battery suckers

Google made its debut as a cell phone software provider Tuesday at an event where wireless carrier T-Mobile said it will begin selling the G1 phone for $179 with a two-year contract. The device hits U.S. stores Oct. 22 and heads to Britain in November and other European countries early next year.

In NEW YORK – The first cell phone running Google Inc.’s mobile software looks something like Apple Inc.’s iPhone and has a large touch screen, but it also packs a trackball, a slide-out keyboard and easy access to Google’s e-mail and mapping programs.

The phone will be sold in T-Mobile stores only in the U.S. cities where the company has rolled out its faster, third-generation wireless data network. By launch, that will be 21 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Miami.

In other areas, people will be able to buy the phone from T-Mobile’s Web site. The phone does work on T-Mobile’s slower data network, but it’s optimized for the faster networks. It can also connect at Wi-Fi hotspots.

What is UMPC?

Little Laptops – that’s what they call it. More and more people are opting to buy a UMPC nowadays, and that prompted me to search more for the specifications of these Ultra Mobile PC, UMPC for short and also known as Project Origami.

Google Search tells me that a UMPC:

- runs on Windows OSs including while others run on specially adapted versions of Linux.

- and low-voltage Intel Pentium or VIA C7-M processors in the 1 GHz range.

- The touch screen is sized 8 inches. (so small)

- Suitable for use of stylus as well as hand

- The Project Origami Ultra-Mobile PC is just a platform for which manufacturers can design any model they want, provided they meet or exceed the baseline specifications laid down by Intel and Microsoft. However, UMPC’s are capable of running a full version of most PC operating systems.

- UMPCs with Windows XP installed are able to run any software that has been written for the Windows XP platform, though the small form factor often mandates some changes to the interface.

- The standard Windows XP interface is the default, though a choice of having an interface more suited for the small form factor is available with the Touch Pack Interface.

- As the units are so small, many UMPCs do not feature a physical keyboard, but an on-screen virtual keyboard provided in the Touch Pack Interface. Also, since the device has standard USB 2.0 connectivity, external keyboards and mice can be attached.

- UMPCs have enough processing power to support audio, video, and gaming, in addition to having rich support for browsing the internet as well as for other communication and networking applications. Windows Media Player is included, with a special skin designed to provide a better experience on the small screen. The devices also feature DirectX 9–class graphics, and all applications available for standard Tablet PCs are expected to be compatible.

- Battery life is expected to increase from the initial 2½ hours to 8 hours.

How about the Price?

Surprisingly, the price ranges from P17,000 to P70,000, it just depends on the brand.

How it Looks

Some brands also features sim slots for HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, is a new protocol for mobile telephone data transmission. It is known as a 3.5G (G stands for generation) technology. Essentially, the standard will provide download speeds on a mobile phone equivalent to an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) line in a home, removing any limitations placed on the use of your phone by a slow connection.)

As I understand, it functions more like a regular PC or laptop, the size is the only big difference. You can install programs, connect with the internet, use webcams, wifi, bluetooth, sim, memory cards… what else? Uh - the battery life… more or less a full charge battery can last up to 2 hours only. Unless you are using 6-cell battery. There are also a variety of colors to choose from - black to pink!

But, as of this time I am still confused how to classify a UMDC from netbooks and so many other names that are appearing now. For now, I’ll just leave it to that. Let us just see what the future brings, computing devices really runs fast, it is hard to catch up with the latest!

I am not sure what brands has the most reliable product now… If you have one now, maybe you could share its performance, so you might help us decide what to purchase if times comes we decide to change our laptop and desktop PC.

From two way radios to the most sophisticated mobile phones of today, cellphones have indeed evolved greatly to be one of the most coolest gadgets ever invented.

The designs and model are changing almost just at a blink of the eye, it is sometimes hard to catch up with the latest model today.

So, what are the most popular cellphones of today? Here are the top cellphones according to their popularity.

1. LG Black Label Shine KE970

2. HTC Touch Diamond

3. Nokia N95 8GB

4. HTC Tilt

5. LG Prada KE850

6. Sony Ericsson K750i

But no matter how useful and important cellphones have become in our life, always remember to practice good phone etiquette and use them with proper care because of the danger they can impose to our health.

By putting on the EZ Vision uber cool glasses, film buffs are able to block out any irritating background noise, using the built-in stereo earphones and zone out like zombies to watch their movie in complete and utter peace!

I’ve heard about Silver-i Film in the radio program of Dr. Gary Sy, he emphasized that cellphone radiation is really strong that you can even cook a hard-boiled egg con radiation just by putting an egg closely between two turned-on cellphone for at least one hour.

So what is Silver-i Film?

As I searched the internet to get more information about this Silver-i Film Dr. Sy is talking and to see how credible it is, apparently it is proudly Pinoy.

It is a new technology against radiation that is invented by a Pinoy scientist. It is a film infused with phyto-energy – a gentle yet potent energy from plants, trees and herbs which not only neutralizes the harmful effects of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radio waves on our body but also enhances our vital bio-energy.

Just the same size with our sim card.

Health Benefits

They are claiming these health benefits you could get:

SILVER-i Film enhances our immune system to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of using cell phones.

• It also increases our strength; giving us more power.

• Stabilizes our bio-energy.

• Relieves pains

• Enhances all the unpleasant smell, vibes, taste.

How it is used?

The Silver-i Film is simply attached or stick to your phone battery or into your computers.And they say that all your mobile phone symptoms such as nausea, “hot ears”, dizziness and memory loss, nausea & more will stop instantly.

How Much and where to get this Silver-i Film?

It is said to be already marketed in Japan, Europe & America.. and now here in the PHILIPPINES.

The price is about P1,200/per piece and is said that it can be used for lifetime.

That’s it folks… I am not particularly sure about its authenticity and benefit. But if it can really live up to its promised benefits. I think there is no harm in trying. I would appreciate if you can share with me and our readers if you know more about the Silver-i Film. Thanks.

I’ve learned this trick a while ago, I could actually recommend this for those who are always on the go and have a so busy schedule that they don’t have the time to cook for a decent anymore…

Just put one egg between two cellphones (mobile phones), turn them on, leave them for at least one hour… and presto you now have a hard boiled egg for your meal…

Huh! Am I serious? Of course I am… it is just to show you folks how much radiation cellphone really has.

We all accept the reality that cellphone is already stapled in our life. Just learn to use your cellphone carefully and wisely.

Do not put them inside the pocket of your jeans or skirts. Because it can affect fertility.

Minimize the use of it too, ‘coz it can affect the healthy functioning of your memory.

Will the newly invented Silver I Film be the answer to cut off radiation from cellphone, computers and other radiation emitting gadgets ?

Technology… is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other. ~C.P. Snow,New York Times, 15 March 1971

 
When I was still a child, I can still remember watching Disney movies on our ancient Betamax player. And now, technology has certainly changed… from betamax to VHS, to VCD and now DVD.

But the good old DVD fears that it would soon be just a thing from the past. It is facing a tough competition, because its position is being challenged by the Blue-Ray Disc. It was being predicted that Blue-Ray Disc will become the standard format for high-definition movie discs. The question is when.

It is defined that Blu-ray Disc main uses are high-definition video and data storage. But the disc has the same dimensions as a standard DVD or CD.

The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue laser used to read and write this type of disc. Because of its shorter wavelength (405 nm), substantially more data can be stored on a Blu-ray Disc than on the DVD format, which uses a red (650 nm) laser. A dual layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 GB, almost six times the capacity of a dual layer DVD.

Unless prices for Blue-Ray disc player would go down, its chances in dominating video sales are still doubtful. Especially that only limited movie titles are available in the format.

We all want to enjoy watching our favorite movies using Blu-ray’s sharper picture and clearer sound. However, DVD should not yet fear its extinction because clearly it still has a long way to go.
