Top 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products details and pictures
Posted on July 20th, 2011 No commentsAlong with the fast development of technology in mobile phones and telecommunication devices, people have longed more for the future tech products and various high tech telecommunication companies become to upgrade their tech products faster, which enables worldwide users to experience totally different devices upon different tech products. And thanks to ZDNet Author, who has listed out some top 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products for us to make a brief understanding about these advanced tech devices. The following lists the 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products, originally released on zdnet.com.
New MacBook Airs
The new MacBook Airs with updated Intel Sandy Bridge processors Core i series processor are due to hit any day along with OS X Lion. The new Airs are rumored to to feature a high-speed Thunderbolt port and perhaps a lighted keyboard while retaining the same form factor.
Vizio XVT3D6SP series
Back in January, the Vizio XVT3D6SP series was our Best of CES winner in the TV category. On top of offering passive 3D and a full-array LED backlight with local dimming, the XVT3D6SP series is loaded with features. Here’s what editor David Katzamier had to say about it:
“The Vizio XVT3D6SP series is billed as a complement to the company’s new Android phone and tablet. It boasts a custom Google TV interface and a beefed-up version of VIA (Vizio Internet Apps), our favorite Internet TV suite of last year. It also has a spiffy new remote that replaces a trendy touch screen with a much more useful touch pad, a la your favorite laptop PC. Finally it boasts passive 3D (see below) and all of the full-array local-dimming LED goodness we liked so much on the XVT3SV series. Oh yeah: it’s also the first TV announced with embedded OnLive gaming (video).”
Samsung Nexus Prime
Rumor has it that the Samsung Nexus Prime, due out late this year, will be the first smartphone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). Here’s what Scott Webster had to say about it on a post on CNET:
“Keeping with other Pure Google experience smartphones, the Nexus Prime is expected to be devoid of any carrier customization or pre-loaded applications. Rumors also have been swirling that the first Ice Cream Sandwich handset would also be notable for another absence, physical buttons. And given that the next iteration of Android blends parts of Honeycomb and Gingerbread, it’s very possible that any 4.0+ devices could operate without hard keys.
“The “monster-sized” screen will be branded as a “Super AMOLED HD” display, matching up with previous reports of a 720p resolution. For the sake of comparison, today’s top Android smart phones feature qHD screens that operate at 960×540 resolution, whereas mid-range devices now typically run with 800×480 resolution.”
Rumor has it that the Nexus Prime (or whatever name the device ends up with) will also have a next-generation dual-core processor running ion the 1.2-1.5 GHZ range.
Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color
While the Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color isn’t a full-fledged Android tablet (with Android Market) unless you root it and install custom firmware, it is the best-selling Android-based tablet out there right now, priced at a modest $249.
Before the holiday buying season we expect that Barnes & Noble will upgrade it, perhaps as soon as late October. We doubt the design will change dramatically (if at all), but we do think it will get a faster processor and some other small but significant improvements.
Motorola Droid Bionic
The Motorola Droid Bionic is due to hit very soon and will be among the few Verizon phones to work on the carrier’s new 4G LTE network. Overall, it has impressive specs, which CNET editor Nicole Lee summarized back at CES in January (watch her first-look video):
“Aside from 4G and the dual-core processors, the Droid Bionic also has 512MB DDR2 RAM; HDMI mirroring (so you can view video on both the phone and the TV when they’re connected); 1080p video playback; 8-megapixel camera on the rear plus a front-facing VGA camera for video calls; Wi-Fi, of course; mobile Wi-Fi hot spot for up to five devices (subject to carrier fees); and since it ships with Android 2.2, the WebKit browser also plays in-browser Flash video.
Amazon touch-screen Kindle
Will Amazon put out a touch-screen Kindle? Or will it release an even more affordable non-touch model to follow up on the success of the Kindle 3? Speculation is heating up as we head into August, which is when Amazon revealed the Kindle 3 last year.
iPod touch
It doesn’t seem like there’s much more that Apple can do with the iPod Touch, but there’s talk of an added 3G option (you’ll have to pay for service) and the possibility of a jumbo Touch that might also qualify as an iPad Mini.
Sony PlayStation Vita
Sony’s next portable gaming console, the PlayStation Vita, ups the ante in terms of graphics and features. But it remains to be seen whether the $249 Vita (or $299 with 3G) will be a hit after Sony experienced such a tepid reception for the PlayStation Go.
Due to hit this fall, the Vita has built-in WiFi, dual joysticks, multitouch 5-inch OLED screen, front and rear touchpads, and front and rear cameras.
Amazon Android tablet
Rumor has it that Amazon will be releasing two new Android tablets by year’s end. The smaller model may have a 7-inch screen and be something along the lines of the Nook Color but feature a more powerful processor (and be aggressively priced). A larger 10-inch model will allegedly be designed to compete with the iPad.
Apple iPhone 5
Will the iPhone 5 have an all new design or simply retain the iPhone 4’s chassis and offer such upgrades as a faster A5 processor and improved camera? And will it be a true 4G phone? At this point, no one knows for sure but all signs point to a Fall release date for the next-generation iPhone, whatever it’s called.

Posted on July 19th, 2011 No commentsTo any social networking platforms, mobile apps about social networking are quite important for expansion in the currently highly developed mobile phone market and highly spread use of mobile phones, which has been showed by Twitter and Facebook. As a fresh social network platform, introduced by the tech giant Google, Google+ is absolutely following the same developing mode. When it launched, Google had issued an Android app of Google+ for Android users to experience Google+ on their Android mobile phones. Yesterday, Google has launched an iOS app for Apple iPhone users to use its Google+ service, an important milestone for the fledgling social network to expand its social network influence and attract more users.
The iPhone version of Google+ keeps mostly the same as the Google+ in desktop web version. All main features are included like the Stream, Circles and Huddles. Of course, it also has its limitations, just like the unavailability of the group-video-chat Hangouts feature. The current version of the iPhone Google+ app is 1.0.1.1809 sized at 5.3MB, with the main features listed below:
– Better support for blocking unwanted messages in Huddle

Over 23000 Korean iPhone users joined the lawsuit towards Apple for location tracking
Posted on July 19th, 2011 No commentsThe location tracking of Apple iPhone and iPad has been a great concern from all Apple device fans and worldwide users ever since being discovered. Last month, a South Korean lawyer, Kim Hyeong-Suk, sued Apple for “amassing of location data without users’ consent” and infringing on his privacy in a lawsuit that was filed against the American company on April 26 and got 1 million won (about US $945) compensation from Apple. Obviously, that is not the end of this case. Kim had said he would draw more iPhone users to sue Apple for the location data collecting. The latest news show that there are over 23000 South Korean iPhone users joined the lawsuit towards Apple for location tracking.
Last month, in an updated version of Apple’s privacy policy, the company added a note that once users agree, Apple and unspecified “partners and licensees” may collect and store user location data. Some detailed content of the upgraded Apple’s privacy policy showed bellow:
“To provide location-based services on Apple products, Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by Apple and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, we may share geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services.
Some location-based services offered by Apple, such as the MobileMe “Find My iPhone” feature, require your personal information for the feature to work.”
However, this upgraded privacy policy could still not comfort iPhone and iPad users about their privacy data. The class-action lawsuit launched by the Mirae Law, Kim’s law firm, might make an end with the tech giant paying millions of dollars in damages for inflicting emotional distress on them through the smartphone’s controversial location tracking feature.
It is currently reported that Kim’s law firm has charged each plaintiff 16900 won (US $16). No matter what the result would be, Kim’s law firm would benefit at least 9000 won per client.
More news on Apple iPad and iPhone location tracking would be reported here. Stay tuned.

What’s your choice: Motorola Droid phones or Apple iPhone 5
Posted on July 14th, 2011 No commentsThe latest news from a retail job posting of Apple in the U.K. for seasonal iPhone sales staff hints that the Apple might
make a mid-August iPhone 5 launch. This is really quite exciting news for all iPhone fans, yet still needs to be confirmed. The popular saying about the iPhone 5 release date is in October, just in time to compete with other smart mobile phones, especially Motorola Droid phones like the Motorola Droid Bionic, Motorola Droid X2 and Motorola Droid 2 Global, strong competitors to Apple iPhone 5. The Motorola Droid family are also powerful enough to make a killer combat to Apple iPhone 5, just like other Android OS smart mobile phones. The Motorola Droid phones are going to be released soon with specifications and features quite confirmed, while the Apple iPhone 5 is still a puzzle in both the specs and release time. Thus, what’s your choice between these two kinds of smart phones? Take Motorola Droid phones, or wait for some time to get the unconfirmed iPhone 5?In fact, about the specs of Apple iPhone 5, there have been so many rumors and speculations, most of which are supposed to be true for iPhone 5. Firstly, it would come with the Apple iOS 5 which promises to take the iOS user experience to the next level. The 4.0 inch edge-to-edge multitouch screen display provides excellent video, picture and gaming experience. The Apple A5 processor would also enhance the phone performance in graphics and CPU. Meanwhile, the Apple iPhone 5 is supposed to work with more carriers, including T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. What’s more, another advantage of Apple iPhone 5 is that it owns plenty of accessory suppliers for different accessories.
The Motorola Droid Bionic features the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operation system. It would land on Verizon’s 4G LTE network this summer. The huge 4.5-inch display will definitely hypnotize customers, while the dual-camera system (8MP and VGA) will make the smartphone even more appealing. To get this mobile phone, you can firstly visit the Verizon Droid Bionic page and enter your e-mail address and then you will receive within time details and launch dates etc.
Droid X2 and Droid 2 Global are also strong competitors for Apple’s iPhone thanks to their improved specs. All in all, Motorola’s offerings are the “real-deal”, while the iPhone 5’s specs are simply speculation.
Of course, these smart mobile phones are still on the way to market. We can make the full comparison between them only when they have been released. However, if you just want to buy a new smart mobile phone, which one would you choose, a Motorola Droid Bionic, or the iPhone 5?
