September 30th, 2010
Comments Off

Samsung’s newest smartphone, the Eternity 2, was released into the market on August 15, 2010. Released by AT&T, the Samsung Eternity 2 has caught the eyes of several consumers and tech reviews everywhere because of its excellent features, as well as being the sequel to the original Eternity. The Eternity doesnt only have great features, it also has many varied Samsung Eternity 2 accessories available to accentuate its design and features.

Display & Screen Protection
The Samsung Eternity has a great display and while it may not be the biggest of touchscreens, it is certainly one of the clearest. The device itself is only 2.11-inches wide by 4.41-inches tall by 0.5-inches thick so it only has a touchscreen size of 3-inches diagonal. However, it does sport a resolution better than most other phones with 3-inch display sizes and at 240 pixels by 400 pixels and a virtual QWERTY keyboard that is not too smashed together, it is more than decent enough.

For a touchscreen such as this, a user might want to buy one of the many available Samsung Eternity 2 screen protectors. One in particular, are the Skinomi TechSkins, made of excellent quality and construction. This is one of the Samsung Eternity 2 screen protectors that does not skimp on protection. Skinomi makes this protector from military graded plastics, specifically cuts it to fit the phone and makes it easy to apply to the device.

TouchWiz
Another great feature of the Samsung Eternity 2 includes the TouchWiz interface of which is Samsung’s own. The UI features a right-hand side collapsible bar that is customizable to hold many icons. The user can move the icon of their choice to the main screen area where it then allows that user to reach its main features using a simple touch of the finger. Also included with the UI is the ability to change the vibrating feedback which activates every time the device registers a touch. Additionally, a built-in mute function silences the ringer if the phone is face down.

Camera
Another of the great features of the Samsung Eternity 2 includes its camera and while Samsung did downgrade the camera as compared to its predecessor, the 2-megapixel camera included with this device is more an able. With three modes to shoot photos including mosaic, continuous and panoramic, fun frames for editing, exposure settings and other color and brightness settings, the Samsung Eternity 2’s photos are of an amazing quality for a camera so very small.

Most people understand that a mobile device this good deserves the best protection, which is why choosing one of the many varied Samsung Eternity 2 cases available is a good idea. One great way to keep the Eternity 2 secured and protected is with a leather pouch carrying case. They come in either a horizontal or a vertical design made from real leather with a snap closure. Another great Samsung Eternity 2 cases includes rubberized hard cases. This not only holds the phone inside, but can keep your phone safe if you accidently drop it or hit it against something.

Essential Accessories For The Motorola Droid Pro

September 30th, 2010
Comments Off

Motorola has finally announced they’re releasing another droid product in November. In case you haven’t heard, this 1.3 GHz beast includes a gorgeous 4-inch display along with global roaming capability. If the whispers and early previews are true, then we’re facing another extremely powerful smart phone entering the ever growing market. Perhaps the best indication that this is true is the behavior of ancillary companies who are already hard at work getting their Motorola Droid Pro accessories to market first and well before the Pro launch. Not to be left behind, here’s an early look at the must-have Motorola Droid Pro accessories.

The first order of business is getting a feature-rich desktop charger and a super-convenient travel charger for your Motorola Droid Pro. The simple included USB charge is functional but not versatile enough. It seems very likely that chargers compatible with the older droid series can also be utilized to charge the Droid Pro. In other words, if you already have a desktop and travel charger for your Droid, chances are they’ll work for the Pro. If not, then you will want to look at the Siedio desktop cradle, which connects to the wall and to the unit via the included USB cable. It can also act as a docking cradle to provide a comfortable viewing angle of the Droid Pro. For those on the go, simply buying a USB-to-AC adapter and a USB to car lighter adapter would be our choice.

The next step will be choosing from among all of those Motorola Droid Pro cases that are already on the market. Our pick for top choice goes to the Body Glove side case for the Droid Pro. Generally priced at $30 or less, this is an absolute steal. The reason we like it so much is that it’s the perfect balance between looks and protection, while most cases only manage to do one or the other. It has a strong belt clip that attaches easily and securely, but this case works just as well if you prefer to carry it in your pocket or in a briefcase or purse.

Among Motorola Droid Pro screen protectors, we choose ZAGG’s Invisible Shield, which has been our protector of choice for all Droids thus far. If you’re not familiar, Invisible Shield is essentially a scratchproof film originally designed for the U.S. military in order to protect high-speed helicopter blades from debris, dirt, and dust. In our tests, we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s very hard to scratch the surface of the Invisible Shield protector. At places well below other cases, this one’s too good to pass up.

Well, there you have it, an early look at the must-have Droid Pro accessories. We think you can safely purchase any of these products now without much fear that something better with come along between now and November. For other types of accessories, we’d be less sure of that since the early word is that there are some new and innovative accessories for the Droid Pro on the horizon.

Reverse Phone Number Finder – Maintain Customer Loyalty

September 30th, 2010
Comments Off

Many people perceive that the reverse phone number finderis just for eradicating the pestering phone calls in the middle of the night or for catching a cheating spouse. In fact, it can also be used for various business purposes to even increase the number of profits for the business to grow and expand.

In every business endeavor, one of the most important things you should consider is your customers. Hence, it is important that you have all the numbers of your customers to be able to serve them well. It is a common secret for every accomplished business owner to keep a comprehensive list of customer records.

It is just common along the way to make mistakes of having noted down a particular number without being able to properly name it. So eventually you might find yourself just throwing away the number without realizing that it could be a potential sale you can make for your business.

So instead of trying to identify these numbers the tough way by calling them one by one, you can just use a reverse phone finder system instead. This system can surely help you identify not just the name behind that unfamiliar number but also other important information like the address.

Hence, if you work in a physical store, you will surely experience times when you get to miss important phone calls if you suddenly went out or when your store is closed. So with this advanced system, you can easily identify the numbers who called the next day that you visit your store.

With this, you surely won’t be disregarding any call that seem unimportant to you. You can also use this service to update your customer records and get in touch with them easily especially if your business will go through some changes that they should know about.

Of course, you cannot expect your customers to call you instead just to update you of their contact information. It would be greatly appreciated by them as well if you would do the move of unceasingly getting in touch with them. Try to make it a habit to always keep in constant communication with all of them to build trust.

If you are running on a tight budget, then you need not fret about it for there are systems which you can find over the Net offering this service for free. However, this could not be much beneficial if you are trying to identify a mobile phone number instead of the usual landline numbers. If this is your need, then invest on paying a minimum amount of fee for those reverse phone number finder that charge a certain rate. You would just usually pay for a certain annual cost and most of them would already offer you unlimited service for the entire year.

Jailbreaking Unapproved Apps For IPhones

September 29th, 2010
Comments Off

While the iPhone is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional inventions in the technical world, consumers by nature are always curious and are fascinating by anything extra they can allocate. Frequently, this entails hacking the copyright restrictions in place by Apple to unrestrict the iPhone by using jailbreak software. Apple offers many applications that are notable but it’s nothing in comparison to the applications that are available for the creative iPhone consumer. The purpose of this article is to briefly investigate the concept of unlocking and why it has become so fashionable

 

One of the major turning points by the bootleg applicationmarketplace was when the iPhone Development Team broke into the iPhone and released it free commercially. Ever since, a battle of enormous proportions has been fought between Apple and the hackers. Every time Apple plugged a hole and made an additional security update, jailbreakers would consequently discover another and dig out whatever weakness were able to. Necessity causes creation, and jailbreak software was created, like many other jailbreaking methods have been, to serve a desire in the marketplace that Apple did not want to fill.

 

At the onset, Apple was just attempting {to upsell iPhone users to download with Apple specifically}, and encouraging the consumers to use Apple’s own iPhone applications. While these applications were and are designed-released in nothing beneath Apple standards, there is currently only a single method to get native applications onto the iphone – through hacking and voiding the guarantee. So naturally, there are unapproved applications in mass quantity – such as Twitter clients. Steve Jobs immediately saw that the hackers arena was beginning to become inundated, and in response, issued an SDK, which allowed third-parties the capability of initiating new and innovative applications for the 2.0 software issue of the iPhone.

 

Since Apple was nice enough to open up the iPhone, several of the previously unauthorized applications made their Apple affiliation legit via the Itunes App Store. Even so, there were still many applications that were disallowed, such as voice-over-IP applications. So despite Apple’s attempt to saturate the unauthorized-bootleg marketplace, new applications are still constantly being released. in addition, it appears that Apple’s approval of some applications is tenuous at best. For example, an application may be authorized by Apple, only to disappear from the application store. These desired applications are undoubtedly outstanding suspects for promptly appearing in the jailbreaking marketplace.

 

Currently, the hacking market appears to have leveled off. Most previous genres of applications that were once illegitimate, are now recognized in one form or another at the App Store. Designing new applications is now an even bigger benefit to designers…besides having the chance to develop and market software, there is also the added possiblity that they will be able to introduce their works to Apple and become a legitimate associate of Apple. And while the growing numbers of approved applications have made underground markets less necessary, the worldwide, quality of the iPhone has made the underground market and jailbreaking software valued resources.

The Samsung Wave 2 : The Basics Explained

September 28th, 2010
Comments Off

With the Wave, Samsung created a vehicle for its Bada open mobile platform. It received positive reviews from critics and consumers bought it at a respectable rate. This prompted Samsung to penetrate growing markets and gain a foothold with the Bada OS. Including regions such as Russia, Samsung plans to release the Wave 2 into these areas in order to be first on the market with its technology.

Since the Wave 2 is not intended for use in established smartphone regions, 3G network support has been replaced with GPRS/EDGE capabilities. The Wave 2 still provides WiFi b/g/n, but Bluetooth v3.0 is gone for v2.1. The Wave 2’s companion model, the Wave 2 Pro, experiences a change in design by way of a slide out QWERTY keyboard. A touch only screen is found on the standard Wave 2. Samsung’s TouchWiz is the user interface installed and the screen is 3.2 inches.

The Wave 2 comes equipped with 80MB of onboard memory and a microSD slot that allows for up to 16GB. Maybe it’s not as much memory as is found on the lighting fast, high priced smartphones on the market, but there is still plenty to keep the Wave 2 from bogging down while performing tasks. It is, after all, a smartphone geared toward social networking. Facebook and Twitter are already installed on the Wave 2 and plenty of other applications can obtained from the Samsung Apps store.

Of course, since the Wave 2 is being marketed as an introduction for developing markets, there are sacrifices to be made in order to keep the phone affordable. That is not to say that the device is barebones, however. There may be no DivX or Xvid playback, but there is an FM radio, GPS, microUSB, and the aforementioned microSD slot on the Wave 2. And since the phone is designed to focus on social networking, Samsung installed its own Social Hub that combines Twitter, Facebook, IM, and email all into one location. Apps such as games and navigation tools can be downloaded without installing additional software onto the phone, or the user can synch the phone to a PC for larger files. And since cameras are a necessity on smartphones these days, the Wave 2 comes complete with the 3-megapixel variety.

While the Wave is still on the shelf, the Wave 2 is a fine cousin to it directed toward new markets. The Samsung Wave 2 has been designed for affordability and reliability rather than for the latest and greatest extraneous functions. It is a fine addition to Samsung’s Wave line.

Steps To Take If Your Mobile Phones Gets Wet

September 28th, 2010
Comments Off

 

If your mobile phone gets wet it can be a really big problem; this would be even worse if you happen to have a new iPhone. One way that mobile phones quite often end up getting wet is when they are accidentally dropped down the toilet. Here are a few tips for how you can save your mobile phone if this happens. There is no guarantee that any of these will work but it worth trying if it can save the phone.

 

- The very first thing that you should do is to take the battery out. By taking away the source of power you can try to avoid a short circuit from happening which can often occur because of the fact that water is a conductor of electricity.

 

- Another thing that should be removed very quickly is the SIM card especially if you want to save the contents on it. If you want to dry the card in the safest way possible you should use a dry towel. It may be the case that you will have to go to an expert to get your data back but sometimes there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

 

- Give your phone a good shake to get rid of as much water as possible. The best thing is to get rid of as much water as possible. You can get rid of even more water if you use dry paper towels.

 

- Put your phone outside in the sun, but make sure that it is not in direct sunlight. Hopefully this will ensure that most of the moisture is dried up. But obviously this won’t work on a rainy day or in the middle of winter when it is cold and damp.

 

- You may find that it takes weeks before your phone can be used again but sometimes the damage simply cannot be reversed and it won’t work again.
