Instant Shift Technology

Demand for these `computer alike` telephones is growing each day, and various brands have started manufacturing them. Smartphone provides a complete and advanced operating system, and gives the user the opportunity to use advanced features, like instance e-mail, e-book reading programme, VGA connection and USB functions. The best description is that Smartphone is a mini computer, which also works as a phone.Smartphone has the functionality of a modern and high functioning personal organizer. Most of them have a QWERTY keyboard (small, yet very practical), touch screen (or D-pad), excellent built in camera, navigation system of some kind, which it can be present as either hardware or software,  various media players, photo and internet browser and etc. That means that with this phone you have your work, hobbies, games and gadgets with you all the time. One fine feature these phones offer (very practical for business people) is a contact list big enough for all contacts one might have.Smartphones exist for over 15 years, and the first one was developed in 1992, by IBM, and it was named Simon. At the time, it was an incredibly modern phone with advanced functions, since it contained calendar, phone book, world clock, calendar, note pad, games, fax, and etc.Since 2004 smartphones have exploded on the market, and every relevant phone maker had to provide consumers with their version of these superb gadgets. That is when visual identity and the quality of design began to matter truly. In a selection of similar products, those with great design, nice color range and customized wallpapers were the ones most in demand.Some smartphones have gone a step further, allowing users to apply different applications, developed mostly by third parties, and put them on the phone for free. It may sound like a risky move, but the results were great. The number of sold devices increased and the users learned to appreciate their open minded gesture.These figures will explain even better, how popular these phones are today: in 2008 around 100 million units were sold. And it is expected that this number will almost double within 18 months. The phenomenon of these phones is discussed on the specialized summit, Smartphone Summit, which is a semi annual conference where new versions are tested and presented, discussion boards are organized and developers present their software and hardware solutions.If you are a busy executive, a smart phone can certainly make your life a lot easier. It is one of the nice mobile devices ever invented for business professionals who find 24 hours too short for an entire day. Therefore, a smart phone is not just a companion for many, but a virtual life-support that some people cannot live without.World market is basically divided between 4 companies, and they constantly work like this: one presents their new device, others follow. One develops a new software solution, others try to follow and do something even better, and so on. The fact is that modern business requires a certain infrastructure and a level of commitment, which means that where ever you are, you need to be able to answer the requirements of your work.

Durable Clear Reusable LCD Screen Protector – 3 Packs for AT&T RIM Blackberry 9000 Bold Smartphone

Just a few years ago we were carrying around those big, heavy lumps of plastic. If you walked down any sidewalk in any city, all you would see was the antennae sticking up as people valiantly tried to talk as they walked. Thankfully, it wasn`t long before cell phones became smaller, neater and with a much improved signal. Then came sms messaging, picture messaging, then video calling and now we have a range of cell phones that act as a mobile office, these are smartphones.These are exactly what their name suggests; they are very smart. You still have all your normal cell phone functions, but you also have full internet access, email, a QWERTY keypad, fax facility and the Microsoft office suite. These new generation phones are an essential item for today`s businessmen, but are becoming more and more popular with techno geeks who want to get their hands on the latest bit of kit.The first ever smartphone was unveiled by IBM in 1992, and shown as a concept product at COMDEX, a trade how in Nevada. It was called `Simon` and released to the general public a year later by BellSouth. Its main features were a world clock, a calendar, an address book and notepad, email and the ability to send and received fax. It was also the first phone with a touch screen. Compared to today`s phones, Simon was a fairly low end product, but at the time its technology was outstanding.The other manufacturers were keen to get in on the act, and it wasn`t long before they started to produce their own smartphones. The Nokia 900 range brought out the Nokia communicator in 1996. This was marketed as a ‘computer in the palm of your hand`. The Nokia 9210 was the first true smartphone, with a full color screen and independent operating system, although Nokia continued to call it a communicator, which made it sound like it had less capabilities than it actually did. The 9500 then came out, with an integrated camera and Wi-Fi facility.In 2002, the world of smartphones changed forever with the arrival of the first blackberry. This phone had absolutely everything you could want to run your business on the move. It was the first phone to optimize wireless email. Within 5 years it has an estimated 8 million users, 3/4 of which were in North America.The latest inception into this growing market is the I-phone. This phone can download smartphone applications directly from the Apple App store. This gives you the luxury of picking and choosing exactly what you want on your phone. This is great for users who don`t want a phone clogged up with loads of applications that they won`t use.The seven main operating systems found on smartphones are Symbian OS, Blackberry, Windows mobile, I-phone OS, Palm webOS, Linux and Android. By far, the phones with the Symbian system led the way with over 50% of the global market.As technology is continuously improving, who knows what the next generation of smartphones will give us. It`s hard to imagine what else there could possibly be to add to a phone, but these technology giants will no doubt think of something.

Durable Flexible Soft Blue Silicone Skin Cover Case for BlackBerry Storm 9500 / Thunder 9530 Smartphone by eForCity

Just as the year is opening to a slew of Android smartphones emerging as the platform of choice among the worldâ??s leading mobile phone makers, thereâ??s another new and exciting platform on a new smartphone carrying a radical look and feel.

It comes from an Anglo-Israeli mobile phone maker that has yet to make a dent in the mobile community.  Enter the Emblaze Mobile First Else smartphone. It is nothing like anything on the smartphone landscape.

Meeting the Challenge with Unique and Upscale Features

At first glance, thereâ??s nothing striking about it.  Itâ??s another of those black monoblock touchscreen slabs.  This time, it unabashedly gets inspiration from the monolith structure in Kubrickâ??s movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Not surpassingly, it is the product of two years of a joint technical collaborative project called â??monolith.â?

On closer look, what came out of that project is a defining product from the Emblaze Mobile company with its First Else, itâ??s first foray into the smartphone world with a new Linux-based platform it calls Else Intuition. Its Japanese partner Access, known for its NetFront web browsers, Access Linux products and the Palm OS, made possible the new Else Intuition platform that brings gesture-controlled UI to a higher plane.

It is designed to be navigated with just one hand, the First Else sports a 3.5� Wide-VGA multitouch capacitive touchscreen with a persistent control menu on its rightmost screen edge that can be activated with your right hand.  You only need your thumb gestures to scroll and rotate its dial-up menu arrangement.

Its UI clearly shows that the smartphone world has room for another feature-rich OS that has all the promise of challenging the Android.  We hope to get hold of a trial unit and await the market verdict if indeed it is a serious Android challenger.  When it reaches the market, it will meet headlong with iPhone 3Gs, Motorola Droid and Nokia N900 as its main rivals.

Interestingly enough, the First Else is actually powered by the Texas Instrument OMAP 3430 processor that powers its rivals.  It would be a revelation to check whether the Else Intuition does a more competent job than the Android.

The upscale features are nothing new and are quite common in high ends smartphones.  Apart from a gorgeous capacitive display, you get the usual accelerometer for auto-rotate viewing consistent with the handset orientation.

Thereâ??s a proximity sensor for disabling touchscreen function when held to the ear in a call.  You bet a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with image stabilization as well.  The First Else is a 3G/3.5G UMTS phone with HSDPA and a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2G.  It has WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP, MiniUSB 2,0. 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS receiver and comes with either 16 GB or 32GB internal memory versions.

It doesnâ??t seem to support microSD expandability, though.  Talk times and standby times have not been published but we expect its 1450 mAh LI battery to be up to the task.

Availability

Emblaze Mobile is releasing an API together with the unit and this should populate its online app store which the company is readying in time for the market launch this spring.  It certainly knows the advantage of having an app store â?? a feature missed by many smartphone makers in the past.  The Emblaze Mobile First Elseis now known as the Else First Else, after the company recently changed its name to Else Ltd.
