Review: Sony Ericsson MW600 - it's good!

Read about the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset and it's curiousness here.

Bluetooth 3.0 Gets Formally Adopted

Bluetooth SIG has announced today that it has formally adopted the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 High Speed (HS), also known as Bluetooth 3.0. The new release of the short-range wireless technology is meant to offer increased data transfer speeds and wireless Bluetooth experience at the same time. Manufacturers of devices that utilize the technology can now apply it in their products, offering users the possibility to send large amounts of video, music and photos between different electronics and home entertainment devices.

The increased speeds that Bluetooth 3.0 can offer come from the 802.11 radio protocol. The technology now includes the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL), which allows for increased throughput of data transfers at speeds reaching almost 24 Mbps. At the same time, the new standard is also meant to offer increased power savings for mobile phones that use Bluetooth 3.0, courtesy of the built-in enhanced power control.

”The new iteration of Bluetooth technology is based on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 EDR version, such as Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. At the same time, Bluetooth 3.0 HS can offer developers, manufacturers and consumers backward compatibility with older standards, offering enhancements of the technology with every new specification release. Those who would like to learn more about the compatibility between Bluetooth-enabled devices should visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

Among the applications that consumers will benefit from when it comes to Bluetooth version 3.0 HS we can count the Wireless bulk synchronization of music libraries between PC and music player or phone, Bulk download of photos to a printer or PC, as well as the ability to send video files from camera or phone to computer or television.

The formal adoption of the standard is only the first step in the lifecycle of Bluetooth 3.0. Wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies (including Atheros, Broadcom, CSR, and Marvell) will make the second step, namely providing device manufacturers with silicon solutions based on the technology. Products that will support the new standard are expected to come to market in about 9 to 12 months.

However, it’s not just mobile phone users that can benefit from the IDP-100. We are proud that the frame receives stores and displays up to 500 still images through a variety of options. Once uploaded they are automatically rotated, enhanced and re-sized to fit the frame - so that you can enjoy your memories instantly.”

The IDP-100 sits perfectly with the C905 Cyber-shotTM phone. The first phone to offer an 8.1 megapixel camera now has the ideal accessory that will help you show off your high quality images in all their glory. The photos can be displayed and managed with the touch sensitive control menu, just view the slideshow options and pick your personal preference. In addition, the Digital Image Correction (DIC), included with the IDP-100 will ensure the photos are displayed to perfection as it automatically adjusts your images - this includes colour correction, tone enhancement and even edge enhancement.

This is my first post since Dilin Anand invited me to contribute to his blog. Thanks Dilin.

iGo Sierra - i luv it!!

Superb setup, excellent feel, slick designing
albeit a finger-print magnet for a cover, but more importantly - it takes care of
the N95 typing bug! :)

And finally I have received the Stowaway Sierra Keyboard from the guys at iGo - the same guys who brought out the iGo Juice 70 and other cool stuff.

At first glance, the gleaming body itself lets you justify spending your hard-earned bucks on this great device. The external casing comes in a smooth fluid metallic silver that gives it a really slick look(although it turns out to be quite a magnet for finger prints, but hey! who's perfect??)

Press the button at the middle and it opens up like a book and unfolds into all it's glory..This star performer of ours turns out to be quite different inside..no wonder they said never to judge a book by it's cover! ;)

The gleaming metal outside gives way to a black matte finish inside while opening up to a 100% full size keyboard, complete with a 5 row keyboard including dedicated numerical keys - all this while managing to weigh a mere 6 oz!! ( i bet all u models out there envy this :D)

The drivers for the Sierra are available over the air, made availableby iGo. But it sems they haven't updated the their site with the n95drivers - as yet(hope it does come soon).

The range for this device is very good even though we wouldn't need it... how far away would it be possible for you to sit and read from your tiny mobile screen!

Of course it is possible to connect the N95 to a TV screen, which when used along with the Sierra would give you a real neat computing experience - whether it's for gaming or surfin' the net or blogging!

Just make sure you've got a spare AAA battery in case the charge dies out while you're shooting up people in GTA or driving thru in NFS or ..[bated breath]..busy blogging!!

One of the problems that I've found on the design side of the keyboard is that after some use the "Insert key" on the keyboard which also hot links to the Web Application tends to bend a little to the left side.

Upon closer inspection, I've put this down to the pressure exerted by the key coming opposite to it when the keyboard is closed - namely the "M" Key. Unlike the other keys, this particular key only comes in contact with half of the Insert/Web button thus possibly deforming the pad on which it rests.

This problem is in no way to be considered a major one, as it isn't seen easily even if you look for it. Nothing to worry about as the keyboard is still as fantastic as it used to be.. :)
