New BlackBerry maker offers tablet aimed at businesses

0 comments

Playbook, RIM 
NEW YORK – The company that gave us the BlackBerry - still the dominant phone in corporate circles - thinks its business customers will have room in their briefcases for at least one more device: the PlayBook.
Research in Motion Ltd. showed off the tablet for the first time Monday and is set to launch it early 2011, with an international rollout later in the year. With it RIM is betting on a smaller, lighter device than Apple Inc.'s iPad, which kicked-started the tablet market when it launched in April.
The PlayBook will have a 7-inch screen, making it half the size of the iPad, and weigh about to the iPad's. And unlike the iPad, it will have two cameras, front and back. RIM didn't say what it would cost, but said it would be in the same range as the iPad, which starts at $499.
The PlayBook will be able to act as a second, larger screen for a BlackBerry phone, through a secure short-range wireless link. When the connection is severed - perhaps because the user walks away with the phone - no sensitive data like company e-mails are left on the tablet. Outside of Wi-Fi range, it will be able to pick up cellular service to access the Web by linking to a BlackBerry.
But the tablet will also work as a standalone device. RIM co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie said its goal is to present the full Web experience of a computer, including the ability to display Flash, Adobe Systems Inc.'s format for video and interactive material on the Web. That means the tablet will be less dependent on third-party applications or "apps," Balsillie said.
"I don't need to download a YouTube app if I've got YouTube on the Web," said Balsillie, who leads the company along with co-CEO Mike Lazaridis.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has resisted allowing Flash on any of the company's mobile gadgets, arguing the software has too many bugs and sucks too much battery life.
"Much of the market has been defined in terms of how you fit the Web to mobility," Balsillie said. "What we're launching is really the first mobile product that is designed to give full Web fidelity."
In part, the PlayBook is a move by RIM to protect its position as the top provider of mobile gadgets for the business set. Balsillie says he has had briefings with company chief information officers and "this is hands-down, slam-dunk what they're looking for."
Analysts agree that RIM's close relationship with its corporate clients could help the company establish a comfortable niche in the tablet market despite Apple's early lead.
"We do think that RIM has a play with enterprise customers because it has established relationships with so many businesses, and its technology is so deeply integrated with their IT departments," IDC analyst Susan Kevorkian said.
RIM is using a new operating system, built by QNX Software Systems, which it took over earlier this year, to harness the power of the tablet, but Balsillie said it will run existing apps for BlackBerry phones.
IDC predicts that the corporate market for tablet computers will grow as a portion of overall sales over the next few years. The firm forecasts that roughly 11 percent of overall tablet shipments, or 6.5 million units, will be to businesses, government agencies or schools by 2014. That would be up from just 2 percent, or 300,000 units, this year. And that figure doesn't count those who buy tablet computers on their own and use them for work.
RIM, which is based in which is based in Waterloo, Ontario, doesn't want the PlayBook to be just for work — the company invited video game maker Electronic Arts to help introduce the Playbook at an event in San Francisco on Monday — but it's clear that its advantages will lie in the work arena. Amazon.com Inc. announced it would make its Kindle e-book reading software available for the tablet.
The iPad has prompted a wave of competitors, so RIM won't be alone going after the tablet market. Computer maker Dell Inc. came out with its own tablet computer in August called the Streak. Samsung Electronics Co. plans to launch the Galaxy Tab next month and has already lined up all four major U.S. carriers to sell it and provide wireless service for it. Cisco Systems Inc. is also going after business customers with a tablet called the Cius early next year.

Nominates its Objects of Desire

Technology Review has rounded up a bunch of objects that it feels are design classics from the past 30 or so years and got a bunch of industrial designers to talk about them. And you've gotta admit they're right—on some of the candidates, at least. First up is the Polaroid SX-70, which dates back to 1972.
Polaroid's first fully automatic, motorized camera was an instant design classic. Detailed with tan leather, it folded into a rectangle the size of a paperback book. Andrew Logan, principal designer at Frog Design, admires it for the "immediacy of a favorable output." He explains: "Instead of waiting days to see if you took a good photo, you could take it again right away."
There's a gallery below, and after the jump you can vote for your favorite piece of shiny loveliness.

Latest Nokia N900 earns 4 of 5 stars from Mobile Tech Review

0 comments
One of the reviewers whose opinion I trust and respect is my friend Lisa Gade. She just posted her Nokia N900 review and gives it 4 out of 5 stars with the cons being lack of portrait mode and rather short battery life. I have been using the eval unit more lately and can’t get over how well integrated communications is on the device (Skype, threaded SMS, IM status, etc.). I do agree though that battery life is a factor and I can’t go a full day with it running the things I want to run.
Nokia N900 earns 4 of 5 stars from Mobile Tech Review
I have about a month left with the evaluation device and am leaning heavily towards purchasing one for myself in January. Lisa agrees with me that the N900 browser is the best on ANY smartphone and that is one major factor in pushing me to buy my own N900. While devices like the N97 frustrate me at times with low RAM, I have yet to find any hardware spec limiting me on the N900 and only have software frustrations. Software frustrations can be easily addressed with updates and new software.
As I have spent even more time now with the N900, these are the pieces of software I want to see:
  • Gravity or other good Twitter app
  • Google Maps or updated Ovi Maps client
  • MMS support
  • Office document creator
As you can see, I am not asking for much more to make this my primary device. An extended capacity battery would sure be nice too.

  • A built-in digital camera and microphone let you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats.

New WD My Passport Elite 500GB Images

0 comments


 


 

Design

There's only so much you can do with a pocket-sized hard drive, beyond making it pocket sized in the first place. Western Digital's pretty much tried every design trick possible by now, and to look at it by itself, the My Passport Elite isn't much different. Our 500GB review sample was bright red, but it's also available in blue or black. Or if you like marketing speak, the My Passport Elite comes in "Anodized Red", "Anodized Blue" or "Charcoal Metallic" colours. As we said, Red, Blue or Black.
Where Western Digital applies the "elite" moniker is in a few key differentiating features. For a start, the drive itself has a small LED light that runs up one side indicating available capacity. It's a very simple trick, and one that even Western Digital's pulled out before in other external hard drive lines, but we're still somewhat impressed with it from a pure "here's some happy lights to show off your cool tech" kind of way.
The My Passport Elite also comes with a dedicated desktop dock. It's not that fancy to look at, but it does make it a more pleasant drive to use for desktop users, as you can safely install it to a rear-mounted USB port on your PC and not have to worry about freeing up ports or scrabbling around under desks to plug and unplug USB cables.

 

Features

Western Digital sells the My Passport Elite in five different size variants according to the Western Digital website, although only three different sizes are being offered to the Australian marketplace — 320GB (AU$149.99), 500GB (AU$199.99) and 640GB (AU$239.99) according to the official local press release.
The My Passport Elite comes with Western Digital's SmartWare software solution which it also offers on other drives such as the My Passport Essential SE. SmartWare is one part backup, one part data encryption and one part data display software. Once installed and running it scans the drives attached to your system and gives you a visual interface broken down by file types. This gives you an at-a-glance view of how much space your pictures, music, movies and documents are taking up, and how much space on the drive you're already using.

Performance

Western Digital's SmartWare suite won't appeal to everybody, and if you've already got a backup solution in mind it's not going to appeal per se. Still, as included backup suites go, SmartWare is smart enough to do its thing and get out of the way while still being clear and obvious enough for users to configure it and retrieve files when needed. It's one of those universal truths that nobody has enough backups, so any extras are well worth doing.
We're a bit split on whether the My Passport Elite's dock is a good thing or not. You're not tied into using it — a USB cable is provided for direct connection — and while it's useful, it also has a rather snug fit. This makes really quickly docking the drive a tad on the fiddly side. It's not so hard to remove the drive, but if you needed to quickly and accurately place the drive in the dock, you basically can't.
As with other USB 2.0 connected drives, there's only so fast you can pump out data, and while you'll lose some portability in the bargain speed freaks may still do better with a pricier FireWire or eSATA connected drive. We managed an average read/write speed of 35.3/26.9MB/s copying a single large video file, and a slightly slower 26.06/19.6MB/s with a folder of files.

Sony alpha NEX-5 Full Review

0 comments
The joint development of the Micro Four Thirds system by Olympus and Panasonic allowed them to be first in the market with mirrorless, interchangeable-lens compact digitals that offer DSLR-like image quality in sub-DSLR size camera bodies. Olympus announced their E-P1 in mid June 2009; Panasonic their GF1 in early September. The partners had this niche to themselves for the rest of 2009 and into the second quarter of 2010, but now there is competition looming.
Sony alpha NEX 5

Samsung has just introduced their NX10 and Sony has thrown their hat into the ring with the recently announced NEX-3 and alpha NEX-5, due in the market this July. Barely a week after the Sony announcement, an NEX-5 found its way to my door. The ink was hardly dry on my review of Samsung's NX10, so the opportunity to shoot the newest entries into the class back-to-back (along with the GF1 back in October 2009) has given me hands-on time with three of the four players in the field.
While Samsung drifted from the rectangular, boxy body shape that characterizes the Olympus and Panasonic cameras, Sony has embraced their concept with a vengeance. The NEX-5 press release calls it (and the NEX-3) the "world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens digital cameras." Even so, the NEX-5 packs a 14.2 megapixel Sony APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor that results in a 1.5x crop factor (35mm equivalent) for any lenses mounted on the camera. One benefit of that sensor resolution is the ability to crop images fairly aggressively if necessary while still retaining sufficient data for quality photo enlargements. This shot cropped to 8 x 12 inch size still has 228 dots per inch and will produce a good quality print.

Sony will launch the camera with 16mm pancake and 18-55mm zoom lenses available; an 18-200mm zoom is due later in the year. The NEX cameras carry the "Alpha" designation (like the DSLR line), but the NEX lens mount is an "E" mount, not the "A" mount found on the big Sonys. An adaptor for "A" mount lenses is due in July, but will not support autofocus.
Sony alpha NEX 5
The NEX-5 has a 3.0-inch articulating monitor, can shoot 1080i HD video in the AVCHD format and provides automatic and full manual controls as well as JPEG and RAW shooting capabilities. There's face detection, smile shutter technology, Sony's Bionz processor and compatibility with Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo or SD/SDHC/SDXC memory media. Sony provides a compact clip-on flash and flash case with each camera, as well as battery and charger, USB cable, CD-ROM software, shoulder strap, instruction manual and the 16 or 18-55mm lens depending on the kit chosen.
It's small, it's light and it's the newest in this fight - let's see just what the NEX-5 brings to the arena.

BUILD AND DESIGN
The NEX-5's rectangular body is a magnesium alloy (NEX-3 is composite) and will be available in silver or black versions. Our review sample was black and looked and felt well built - it measured out at about 4.37 x 2.32 x 1.5 inches. By way of comparison, Panasonic's GF1 came in at about 4.69 x 2.8 x 1.43 inches, so Sony has really done their homework in getting small with their entries in this class. Sony provided both the 16mm and 18-55mm zoom that will be the initial offerings with the camera for this review, and both lenses featured brushed aluminum barrels and steel lens mounts that combined with the NEX-5 to produce a very solid feeling combination. Here's what those focal lengths look like:

Ergonomics and Controls
The rectangular body of the NEX-5 features a built-up handgrip in the right front of the camera body - my fingers were resting against the lens barrel with either the 16mm or the 18-55 zoom onboard. Folks with large fingers should definitely try the camera to see if they can live with the clearance before taking one home. A slight bulge on the camera bottom allows the tripod receptacle to clear the lens barrel for mounting on a tripod (and Sony warns that a tripod screw less than 7/32 of an inch must be used to affix the camera). The shooting finger falls naturally across the shutter button, but the camera's small size means the middle pad of the finger wants to lie on the button itself, rather than the finger tip.

Again, folks with big hands will want to give the camera a good checkout to see if the size is a concern. Following the lead of the Olympus E-P1, the NEX-5 lacks a built-in flash. The provided flash mounts to the camera top via an accessory port, and there is an optional viewfinder that can mount to this port as well, just not at the same time. Ditto for a compact stereo microphone.
The camera itself is short on external controls - the power switch, replay, shutter and dedicated movie capture buttons adorn the top of the body, with two soft keys (buttons) and a control wheel on the back. The three controls on the camera back are the ones you'll use for camera setting selections and changes.

Menus and Modes
The NEX-5 has six primary menus - shoot mode, camera, image size, brightness/color, playback and setup. Within each menu are various sub-menus offering settings and options. About midway through the setup menu is the "help guide display" setting which is off by default. I'd recommend enabling it until you get familiar with the camera - I found it useful when accessing the primary menus, as it provides a brief list of the main settings in that particular menu as well as descriptions of each sub-menu item when you designate them.
The menus are generally intuitive, but the soft keys and the control wheel took a little extra getting used to - the screen next to these controls will show the function of each control at any particular time, but the function can vary depending on shooting mode. For example, in the manual shooting modes (P, A, S, M) the upper soft key selects "menu," the control wheel handles shooting mode settings and the lower soft key offers "shooting tips."

Switch shooting mode to the fully automatic "intelligent auto" and the soft keys remain the same but the control wheel now handles "background defocus."

Press the "menu" soft key from either screen and you get the six main menu screens - the top soft key becomes the "back" key, the control wheel is used to select the menu choice and the bottom soft key is disabled.

With the "help display guide" enabled, you'll get an overlaid panel that briefly (and generally) explains what each major menu section involves. Here's the guide entry for the "brightness/color" menu.

Entering the Brightness/Color menu gets us this first page, on which we've scrolled down to the DRO/HDR setting.
Sony NEX 5 Test Image
Selecting DRO/HDR then gets us this screen, which shows that the camera is set for auto HDR with a 2 E.V. exposure differential.

Also note the functions assigned to the soft keys on this screen - the top key is "cancel" and the bottom key is "option". Compare this to the previous screen, where the top key was "back" and the bottom key was unassigned - you have to keep an eye on the keys and the control wheel since the functions can change from screen to screen. In this case, we decide to hit "option", which gives us this screen:
Sony NEX 5 Test Image
With the HDR icon highlighted, we can scroll the control wheel through six manually set levels of exposure difference as well as an auto setting. Due to its small size and relatively sparse set of external controls, the NEX cameras have adopted this somewhat unconventional method of shifting control functions based on the camera's context at any particular moment, and I found some areas not very intuitive at first. The user's manual was helpful in getting me past the difficult parts and should probably be carried with you in the field the first few times out, particularly if you plan to shoot manual modes and alter settings as you go.
After a few run-throughs, things began to make more sense, but the NEX-5 was one of the more difficult compacts I've run across in trying to figure out operations initially. The camera is just menu-intensive when it comes to changing shooting settings, and manual shooters are more apt to be impacted by this than the full auto folks.
One gripe on the menu layout - "format" is found in the setup menu, but you have to scroll through 12 shooting settings and 16 main settings to get to it. How about moving it to the head of the shooting setting list? Camera settings are likely to be changed relatively infrequently compared to formatting, so here's my vote make it more readily accessible.
Shooting modes include automatic and scene-specific options, along with a nifty sweep panorama mode and the manual exposure controls more experienced users will tend to gravitate to.
  • Intelligent Auto: The camera handles all settings and will choose a scene mode from the following: night view, tripod night view, night portrait, backlight, backlight portrait, portrait, landscape or macro.
  • Scene: User selects from nine common scene choices, camera handles settings and user may have some inputs depending on scene chosen.
  • Anti Motion Blur: For shooting in dim light without flash - the camera will set image quality to fine and fire the shutter six times to capture an image. User has some image size, color and exposure options.
  • Sweep Panorama: Allows capture of up to 226 degree wide images in horizontal format, or 151 degrees in vertical format. More on this later.
  • Program Auto: Camera sets aperture and shutter, user has wide array of inputs.
  • Aperture Priority: User sets aperture, camera sets shutter, wide array of inputs.
  • Shutter priority: User sets shutter speed, camera aperture, wide array of inputs.
  • Manual: User sets aperture and shutter, wide array of inputs.
  • Movie: Captures 1920 x 1080 video in AVCHD; 1440 x 1080 or 640 x 480 in MP4.
Display/Viewfinder
The NEX-5's 3.0-inch LCD monitor is of 921,000-dot composition and adjustable for five levels of illumination manually, as well as auto and sunny weather settings. Sunny weather sets the monitor level automatically according to outside light levels and is quite bright; it also seems to draw down the camera battery quite rapidly. Even with the sunny weather setting the monitor can be difficult to use in some bright outdoor conditions, but it proved to be one of the better performers for image composition outdoors.
Sony NEX 5 Test Image
The monitor can be moved away from the camera body and tilted upwards through about 80 degrees of rotation; approximately 45 degrees of tilt is available downward. Sony does not specify an area of coverage for the monitor, but it appears quite close to 100%.
There is an optional viewfinder available that mounts onto the camera via the accessory port. The all-glass lenses of the viewfinder consist of 4 groups and 5 elements. Area of coverage is not specified.
