In the technology world, gadget makers like to claim their dominance over certain products they manufacture. It not only helps to market them well, but also provides for a sense of security over their accomplishment in actually manufacturing a genius idea on mass-production. When it comes to mobiles, Nokia declared itself to be the king...
Both Apple and Samsung have established themselves as leading tablet manufacturers, but others are also making their way to cater to their own countries customer with affordable prices and better suitability. India has pioneered to locally manufacture Akaash, which is considered to be the world’s cheapest tablet. Recently, Pakistan has also planned to develop a similar product with tablet and digital notebooks to be the first in line to be manufactured.
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra in collaboration with the Chinese company Innavtek have planned on commercially introducing these electronics in Pakistan. The first three products produced by PAC are a computing tablet, a notebook and an eBook reader. The responsibility to manufacture these products lies with PAC, whereas Innavtek will be looking after marketing and promotion. As of now, the products are available in Rawalpindi, but after some finalization they will be introduced in Lahore and Karachi too.
This is not just good news for Pakistani technology, but also for Pakistani tech enthusiasts who are into using gadgets for personal or professional purposes. These products come with a joint one-year warranty of PAC and Innavtek and there will also be a backup support as mentioned by the official from PAC. There are further plans to train professionals into manufacturing these products both in China and Pakistan soon, if the results are successful. It is about time each Pakistani gets a tablet and a notebook in his and her hands and not just a mobile phone.

There is a phenomenon of disappearing bees called the colony collapse disorder that has been observed all around the world recently, which could be possibly linked to the usage of cellphones. This issue is serious because bees are responsible for pollinating many of the world’s agricultural crops and their disappearance is a risk to many farmers and households as well. This will eventually hit the economy.
As of yet, the scientists have been unable to find the exact reason causing the syndrome because of which several different theories have developed around the sudden reduction in the bee population. But the recent study by Daniel Favre at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found cellphone signals to be one contributing factor to this issue.
He conducted the experiment with bees by studying their reactions to cellphones nearby in different modes of on, off, standby and while making a call. His conclusion is that honeybees are sensitive to pulsed electromagnetic fields generated by the cellphones. The result of which is that the bees get confused about what to do and may die with the effects. But since mostly bees do not live near cellphones, the research into the depth of the matter is still open.
Bees get affected by cellphone signals
In Pakistan, the bandwidth of an average landline is about 32 kilobits per second (as of 2011, the average broadband speed in the United States was 5.3 megabits per second). It can take more than 20 minutes to download a five-megabyte file—assuming the connection doesn’t drop during that time, as it frequently does. To help relieve the frustration, Umar Saif developed BitMate. The software lets different users in the same area pool the bandwidth of their connections to reduce download times, typically by half. Released in February, the software has already been downloaded more than 30,000 times by people in 173 countries.
Saif previously created a service that linked mobile phones into groups so that mass SMS messages could be sent. Since its launch in 2008, it has been used to send nearly four billion texts to about 2.4 million users in Pakistan, and the service, now called SMSall, has been used to coördinate protests, find missing persons, and organize blood drives. This summer Saif began expanding SMSall beyond Pakistan to Nigeria, Iraq, Bangladesh, and the Philippines. “SMS is the door to the world for many people,” he says.

Britain is on track to make more calls on mobile phones than on land lines for the first time, according to an analysis of official data.
Experts believe that by the end of the summer people will spend an average of 168 minutes on their mobile phone, outstriping the number of minutes on a landline.
One recent survey suggested that 72 per cent of people would prefer to losetheir wallet than their mobile phone.
Though mobile phone technology dates back to the 1940s, the first mobile phonecall in Britain did not happen until January 1985, and they started to takeoff until the 1990s when digital technology was introduced, which allowedtext messaging.
Which?, the consumer watchdog, said that while increasingly sophisticated mobile phones are beneficial to consumers many people will be left behind.
Ceri Stanaway, telecoms expert at Which?, said: “I am not surprised by these figures at all, but I do worry that some people, by relying solely on their mobile phone, are losing out.
Ernest Doku, technology expert at uSwitch, said: “Despite fewer people now relying on their landline and preferring to have a mobile point of contact, there will always be a core set of users, such as the elderly, who are less likely to embrace new technology and are therefore likely to remain reliant on their landlines.”

The main hardware inside the LG Optimus GT540 is fairly basic, but more than adequate for non-power users. It runs off a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor and has 130MB of internal storage. You can expand the storage space up to 32GB if you want to though, using a MicroSD card. The battery life is better than average; the LG Optimus GT540 uses a powerful lithium ion battery, meaning that you can use it for days without needing to re-charge it. If you want a smartphone for taking pictures and watching / recording videos, then you will not be disappointed with the LG Optimus GT540. Both the hardware and software make the capturing, editing and managing of files easy and fun. There is an in-built 3 megapixel camera and a clear, crisp 420×320 pixel display. The phone’s camera is a cut above a standard point and click camera, with facial recognition and action detection being just a couple of the helpful features. The included software allows you to cut, edit, add voiceovers / music, etc. easily enough. As the LG Optimus GT540 runs off the much celebrated Google Android operating system, you can quickly and easily access all of your Google accounts (Gmail, YouTube, etc.). Access to the main social networking sites has also been well worked in, and you can log into and manage your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. accounts from one place – the social network manager. The look and feel of the user interface in general is very neat and clean. You will not find yourself getting lost or confused, as can easily happen on more advanced smartphones. To sum up, the LG Optimus GT540 is an entry-level smartphone, designed with a specific market in mind. Though it does not make bold statements about its ability to compete with higher end products, it does offer new users to smartphone technology the chance to pick up and learn the basics before diving into the deep end with a more expensive offering from another manufacturer. Simply put, it is a perfect first step for first time users.
The Mozart 7 is one of three handsets that the Taiwanese corporation HTC has released in order to showcase Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows Phone 7. HTC have always had a close relationship with Microsoft, so it is not surprising that the Taiwanese brand is given priority over other brands when it came to the release of Microsoft’s new mobile phone operating system. Out of the three handsets that HTC have recently released, the Mozart 7 has been gaining the most attention due to the fact that, on paper, it looks like a fantastic bit of kit, and in the flesh it certainly does not disappoint.
Of all the five phones that WP7 has been released on, only the Mozart 7 can boast an impressive 8 megapixel camera with an innovative xenon flash system to enhance photo lighting. On top of this is the cameras ability to record in full 720p high definition video. The Mozart 7 has a particularly large 3.7 inch Super-LCD screen which can display a resolution of 480×800 and also incorporates touchscreen capability. Having a 1300 mAh lithium/ion battery means the Mozart 7 offers a maximum stand-by time of 435 hours and a decent maximum talk-time of around 6.75 hours.
Compared to the other WP7 releases from LG and Samsung and also the HD7 and 7 Trophy from HTC, the Mozart 7 has the best camera of the lot, offering an eight megapixel capture resolution compared to five megapixels for each of the others. The design of the casing is truly exceptional and really stands out from most other mobile phones. The rear casing in particular uses rubber and aluminum in a flowing asymmetrical design that certainly captures the eye.
Unfortunately, even though the Mozart 7 has the ability to capture digital images to a resolution of eight megapixels, the software which renders the images has trouble correctly reproducing colors. The xenon flash goes some way to remedy this in dark conditions, compared to an LED flash, but ultimately the result is way off the mark and ends up poorly exposed. Contrary to what its name suggests, the Mozart 7 is not the greatest at reproducing sound and music. There are audio output adjustments that can be made to equalizer settings and soundstage which help, to an extent, but the factory supplied headphones do the unit no justice at all and ultimately the result is below average.
In summary, the Mozart 7 is a great phone with very few downsides and once the teething problems with the WP7 OS are ironed out, it will be an accomplished handset. Strangely, with the main USP of this phone compared to the other Windows Phone 7 handsets available now being the eight megapixel camera, this is the one thing that seriously lets it down; but that point aside, the Mozart 7 is a very capable unit and a great purchase if you are looking for a new smartphone.

Upon its release a few months ago, the Google Nexus One has generated a ton of hype amongst smartphone enthusiasts. The Nexus One operates on the Android system designed by Google, while the phone itself is manufactured by the HTC Mobile Manufacturer. Consumers who have already made the switch to the Nexus One will tell you that it is simply the best Android smartphone ever produced. In some aspects, the Nexus One’s look is not altogether different than that of the iPhone. Google’s smartphone also has no physical keyboard, resulting in a slim design, slightly thinner than the iPhone. The dimensions of the Google Nexus One are 119mm x 59.8mm x 11.5mm. It is also a rather sturdy phone, even though it weighs only 130 grams. The capacitive touch screen displays graphics with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. On the bottom of the 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen are found four buttons: back, menu, home, and search. You can find a trackball pointing device as well as voice controls on the left side. It sounds as though all of these features could easily become confusing, but the incredibly user-friendly control system found on the Nexus One will enable you to fully enjoy the phone in only a few hours. The phone uses the Android 2.1 operating system and runs off a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It contains all the standard features for connectivity – a 3G HSDPA and HSUPA and WiFi access via WLAN connections. As for data transfer between the phone and your other gadgets, it has microUSB and Bluetooth. Data transmission has never been easier. A wide variety of software features and applications place the Nexus One amongst the most delightful phones to use. Google Voice is one such application installed to the phone. A user can assign their Google Voice number to the phone. This can be used for texting and for placing calls. Google Voice users can therefore place free calls right from the cell phone. Text messaging and data entry is effortless on the Nexus One. Launched last year, Voice Keyboard is an application that enables the user to simply speak into a microphone to convert their words into text anywhere you find a text field on the Nexus One. The margin for error is also small, as Voice Keyboard has been rated at 90% accurate, making this application a significant time saver.

Whilst getting a mobile with a free laptop you should to think about a number of things like the contract length, which handset you get with the notebook and whether or not the laptop is more important than the phone. This commentary will speak about some of the things you ought to think about when purchasing a brand new mobile.

A different thing you need to think in relation to when purchasing free Acer laptops with mobile phones is which sort of PC you’re going to buy. There is certainly no point spending a lot of money for a laptop only to find that the one you get with the phone isn’t good enough to do all the things that you wish. Should you only need to carry out word processing then this most likely will not be a difficulty but it unquestionably is if you want to play games.
The mobile phone that you get with the mobile phone is another essential aspect. The mobile phone is almost certainly going to be used much more often than the notebook and hence it’s essential to buy one that you think you will take pleasure in using. It’s always a good idea to try out a mobile in a shop before you make a decision to buy as this will provide you the greatest possibility of getting the right one.
A few of the factors you ought to contemplate when choosing a handset is whether it comes with a touch screen keypad, whether or not it comes with 3G internet and if it has a GPS system. As you would expect, when you purchase a mobile phone with a free notebook it’s doubtful that you will get a top quality phone. You ought to still make certain that it is suitable to use though.
These are just some of the things you should think about when getting a new mobile with a free laptop. Even if there are some great contracts to be had it’s significant to make certain that you do not make a mistaken decision as this might cost you plenty of cash.
