satellite-mobile-radio.gif

Spodtronic is the next generation of Mobile Radio, right on your mobile phone. Users who use this player can not only listen to radio via their mobile, but also simultaneously download the song or ringtone to their mobile as well as downloading extras such as artist photos, artist news, discographies and biographies. They can also take part in interactive games and quizzes while they listen. Through the use of Spodtronic, you’ll be a user in the worlds most innovative and fast growing mobile radio community. It will update more exciting radio stations regularly, so tune in. Spodtronic is the first innovation that combines elements of satellite radio and digital mobile music distribution. From now on, the only music device you need, is your mobile phone.

How to select a radio station???

At the start page, you have a possibility to directly click to the “Powered by” radio station button or in “Live Radio” you choose in “Top Radio Stations” one of our Top Stations or in “Radio Directory” choose GENRE and REGION and navigate through the available stations. You can save your Favourite Stations in “My Favourite Radios”.

How to select a podcast???

In “Podcasts” browse through “TOP PODCASTS” or in “Podcast Directory” choose GENRE and REGION and navigate through the available podcasts. You can save your favourite podcasts in “My Podcasts”.

What access point should be used???

Your network operator has installed several access points to your telephone, one for accessing WAP portals, and mostly one for the internet access, to access the public internet. Use the Internet access point.

How can I get more radio stations and podcasts???

Radio and Podcast Directory will be updated continuously. The software will show you when an update is available.

To decide which version of spodtronic you need to install you simply need to know what mobile phone you have. If you are using a Nokia with Symbian 2.x (6630, 6680, 6681, 6682, N70 or N90) install the file “spodtronic_2.1.0-series60v2_en.sis”. If you are using a Nokia with Symbian 3.x (E60, E61, E61i, E65, E70, N71, N73, N80, N91, N93, N93i or N95) install the file “spodtronic_2.1.0-series60v3_en.sis”.

Spodtronic software allows you to listen to interactive radios, podcasts and other services on your phone, and in addition, you will see visual information about the songs you are listening to. Listening to radio and podcasts via UMTS will create a lot of download traffic! Make sure you have a “flat rate” for data downloads in your contract with your operator as the unlimited download of sound can become very expensive quickly! If in doubt, ask your operator! http://www.spodtronic.com

Tempo’s External Recycle Bin

tempo-recycle-bin.gif

What does this mean? An “External Recycle Bin” – Is this some kind if container that someone is referring to? Well, I had heard about an ‘External Hard Drive’ but a recycle bin that is external seems a little weird. I actually saw a picture with a name written on it as “External Recycle Bin” in a magazine. I didn’t buy the magazine though I wanted to know about it. Why? C’mon people, this is 21st or 22nd century….hehe I’m confused. You can find any information you want over the internet. So, I typed “External Recycle Bin” in the Google and entered. There were numerous results. Later I found out that there was no such thing as “External Recycle Bin”….. hehe just kidding.

Okey, actually it’s a kind of external hard drive from Tempo which is enclosed in a trashcan shape box. Basically, it stores all your deleted files same as the recycle bin that you can find in your desktop, except that it is located outside your desktop. So, when you delete a file from your PC it is thrown away/stored in the Tempo’s External Drive. Of course you can restore the files back to your PC too. There is an extra feature though in compare to the desktop recycle bin. That is its blue LED lights fills up the dark black area as more and more files are thrown into this external recycle bin. Anyways this 250GB external hard drive is connected to your PC via Bluetooth, which means wirelessly and no cable is needed. Cool huh? It’s an innovative idea but I don’t think it’s going to work. It’s just an extra space in the desk and we can’t carry it around everywhere if we have a laptop.

Cowon A3

cowona3.gif

How about movie player, music player, photo gallery, office for documents, file browser, mobile tv, radio, recorder all at a same place. I can’t believe a portable video player has all these things in it. It’s just not a video player; it’s a lot than that. To experience the difference you should experience your good time with COWON A3 portable video player. COWON A3 has a highest screen resolution of 800 by 480 than any other portable devices and supports almost all file formats. But you know that every one and every thing is not a perfect one. And it has also some of the disadvantages. It does not support any of the Windows Media file. It is a file containing audio, video, or script data that is stored in Windows Media Format.

Depending on their content and purpose, Windows Media files use a variety of file name extensions, such as: .wma, .wme, .wms, .wmv, .wmx, .wmz, or .wvx. But it offers DivX 6.0 format support. It offers miniature joystick navigation to scroll easily up and down. Though I felt it to be replaced by flexible and little bigger joystick steering than older version.

Again the most thing I loved about it is, its built-in video recording capability and a high-quality video output which will sure put all the other competitors such as the Archos 605 WiFi and Creative Zen Vision W, far behind though it has its weakness in supporting for video and music download services. Mostly we use to rip the digital video and their content from DVDs or pull it off our computer-based DVR systems. File collector who’s putting down $399 for a 60GB portable video player isn’t buying DRM-wrapped movies from CinemaNow at $15 a pop. Still, it would be nice if Cowon offered the option. I know that A3 is technically and qualitatively more superior to any other competitors like Archos. Do you know Wi-Fi? Its our bad luck that Cowon don’t have this facility. So, the most competitive rivals Archos is selling their 160GB Wi-Fi-enabled PVP, the 605 WiFi, for the same $399 price as Cowon’s 60GB. These stuffs have some highlighted advantages like increased storage, touch-screen interface, and Wi-Fi capabilities. Crossing fingers, let’s hope it would be nice if Cowon A3 addresses these short-comings in its future.

Mobile Instant Messenger v.5.36

im.jpg

With Mobile Instant Messenger (IM+) for Series 30 phones, the most popular instant-messaging systems: ICQ, MSN, AOL, Yahoo, Jabber and Google are available on your mobile phone device. You should setup login information for each service you wish to work with. The usual and most convenient way is using IM+ with just the same ICQ, AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Google and Jabber accounts that you use on your desktop PC. You can create a new account and get additional information about the IM system from their respective home sites:

Note: IM+ does provide facilities to create new account from only for Jabber IM, on any Jabber server. Other services (e.g., ICQ) support a lot of configuration options for privacy, authorization mode and so on. IM+ does not support control for such options, so we recommend use a standard desktop client for this kind of adjustments.

The main IM+ features are:

  • IM+ makes direct connection to the supported services, without any “gate” in the middle
  • Contact list management functions including facilities to add a new contact, to delete a contact and to change nick or a contact.
  • Full presence status support

Nokia N73

nokia-n73-red.jpg

My mobile is my darling. I take it wherever I go; it’s my life because it is Nokia N73. It’s not just a cell phone to me; it’s my digital camera, my I-pod, my USB pen drive, my photo album, my video gallery, my media player and last but not least my walking internet explorer. I would rather like it to call my Palmtop.

What’s new in Nokia N73??? N73 has 3.2 mega pixels camera with Carl Zeiss optics with zoom in and out buttons. It also has another VGA secondary camera in front. Nokia N73 has a special click button for capturing images. Press halfway to focus and press fully to capture the images and I always share it with my friends, family through mms, Bluetooth and infrared. I can connect a compatible printer to my mobile using Bluetooth connectivity or cable connection, tag images for printing and print one image at a time or all the images. N73 can capture unlimited video clips (depends on memory card) in both .3gp and .mp4 format. One single click is enough to access to photos and clips stored in gallery. I love to organize my photos in albums; watch their slide shows with music. It’s too easy to transfer photos and videos to a compatible PC. It is also Adobe Photoshop Album compatible. There are six methods available for transferring files to your phone i.e. USB cable, Bluetooth, IR (beaming), Memory card reader, E-mail attachments and MMS messages.

Another reason behind my attraction towards N73 is its full stereo sound. I mostly enjoy listening to my favorite music anywhere anytime. It connects easily with the PC and just drag and drop will transfer them. I mostly create and edit my own track lists. Just use the facility of multi-tasking; use other applications even while playing music.

If you don’t know, N73 has two browsers: Web and Services. The Web browser is optimized for regular web pages (www), whereas the Services browser is great for mobile content (wap). Browse your favorite web sites while on the move. Experience the Internet with two browsers with large 320×240 screens for convenient browsing with page overview for quick scrolling. Simply visual history with thumbnails helps navigation. The Search function highlights the closest matches as you type. And subscribe easily RSS news feeds, read the latest headlines of e.g. blogs. It adds a touch of personality. Data transfer brings you content from your old Nokia phone – for example, contacts and images. With removable memory cards, you always have enough storage space for your music and images. You can enable 3-D sound effects for ringing tones. Note that not all ringing tones support it.

Nokia N73 is just like your mini office with you in your pocket. Nokia N73 has Macromedia® Flash Player; you can view, play, and interact with animated flash files made for mobile devices. Nokia N73 has Quick Office for Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel and Word of Microsoft Office 97, 2000, XP, and 2003 documents (*.doc, *.xls and *.ppt) to view. But not all file formats or features are supported. Nokia N73 has got Nokia Lifeblog which automatically collects your photos, videos, sound, messages and blog posts into a single diary you can easily browse, share, store and search. Nokia N73 got Adobe PDF Reader, you can view a PDF file stored in Phone memory or Memory card, or in an e-mail message, or in your Messaging Inbox.

You can create custom video clips by adding audio, text and images to video clips stored. You can also cut as well as combine multiple video clips in one custom video. The video clips are automatically saved in the gallery. Other features include calculator, converter, notepad, radio, clock, calendar, recorder and many more. Nokia N73 uses S60 software on Symbian OS (S60 3rd Edition). In application manager, you can install or remove Java™ and other applications compatible with the Symbian operating system. You can receive software installation packages in e-mail or mms or transfer them from a compatible PC. Or you can simply download and install software installation packages from the web. The connection remains on in the background during installation. I’ve installed Blacklist, Answering Machine, Call Recorder, Full Screen Caller, Mobile Handy Zip, Mobile MSN, etc. This is a great mobile to have.
