Huawei today officially unveiled the Huawei Honor, its latest Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread smartphone that features a 16M 16:9 true color high-definition (HD) 4-inch FWVGA capacitive touch screen. Powered by a 1,900 mAh battery, Honor frees consumers from the inconvenience of searching for an electricity source, allowing them to share and connect for up to three days on a single charge – the longest battery life among smartphones in the 4-inch screen range. With a 1.4 GHz processor, an 8-megapixel HDR -enabled camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Honor is a powerhouse in a sleek 10.9 mm-thin body and weighs just 140g.

“Huawei Honor encapsulates the Huawei brand – it features simple-to-use, advanced technology that allows people to share and connect easily. Honor provides a package of features that elevates the smartphone user experience, including an ultra-long battery life, so critical to the performance of smartphones but yet is often downplayed,” said Victor Xu, chief marketing officer of Huawei Device. “Consumers now have a high-performing smartphone that lets them communicate, connect, entertain and share content for an extended period of time without compromising on looks, technology or style.”

Honor comes with an exclusive Huawei user interface which is easier to customize and manage, as well as a dynamic weather widget. Honor also features a Gyroscope which enables a better gaming experience. The smartphone is DLNA-certified which ensures interoperability with other DLNA-certified devices such as digital cameras, game consoles and TVs. This makes it easier for consumers to share their digital photos, music and videos between different DLNA-certified devices. The DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a non-profit organization with more than 250 member companies in the mobile, consumer electronics, PC, and service provider industries. According to ABI Research data, as of 2010, more than 440 million DLNA-certified devices have been installed in homes.

Apple iPod Touch Review - The touch has developed with a lot of features beyond MP3 playback that we can no longer call it just as a music player. Some choose Touch for its wonderful mobile browser and email support, whereas others see it mainly as a handy gaming tool and only some flock towards the Touch for good old school video playback and music.

iPod Touch 3rd Generation



In 2010, Apple's fourth-generation iPod touch got two cameras—one for shooting HD videos and photos, one for FaceTime chats. In 2011, the changes to the iPod touch are all based on the new iOS 5, which brings with it iMessage, iCloud, notifications, and Game Center enhancements. Physically, the player is unchanged, except now it's offered in white. The high-res Retina display remains crisp, colorful, and highly responsive to touch. Since the iPod nano ($129, 3 stars) no longer supports video, the 8GB touch is the least-expensive video-playing iPod, starting at $199 direct—a $30 price drop from 2010. The other two models remain $299 (32GB) and $399 (64GB). Despite the hefty price, the iPod touch is still, by far, the best portable media player you can buy—and it retains our Editors' Choice.

Design
There's a new white model, which is white on the front face and mirrored on the back, but the touch retains its 2010 dimensions: 4.4 by 2.3 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 3.6 ounces. Apple's custom A4 chip powers the device, and the super-sharp Retina display remains 3.5 diagonal inches and 960-by-640 pixels (at 326 pixels per inch). The touch's left-hand panel houses two Volume buttons. A headphone jack, a speaker, and a 30-pin connector for USB computer syncing are on the bottom of the player. The Power button sits up top, and the Home button remains below the display on the front panel. There are two camera lenses—one toward the top of the display, and one on the back, in the top left corner, which is accompanied by a mic. The mirrored back panel is excellent for checking your teeth on the sly, but it picks up fingerprints very easily.

For good or bad, the first ever thing that you will notice after unpacking the iPod Touch packing is that, the design remains unchanged from the 2nd generation model. We bet that you will not be able to make out any difference between both the models in just a couple of looks. Apart from the very negligible distinctions in the print at the rear of the device, the second gen model and the latest one are just the same as the other. If you have a look inside the casing, you will find that there had been a place for camera, which despite the photographic evidence to the contrary never made it to the final product, mainly as the last minute technical problems. There is no change in shape and dimensions either, between both the models and it remains to be (H x W x D) 4.3” x 2.4” x 0.33”. The glass display on the front of the model is flat with a curved steel backing, which feels natural and comfortable in hands, but is wobbly when placed in a flat surface.
 
User Interface
With the inclusion of iOS 5, the iPod touch now becomes a messaging device. It can also use the new iCloud function, which features iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream, and Documents in the Cloud, so you can share content wirelessly between your computer, your iPod touch, your iPhone, and your iPad. Another useful new feature is Notifications, which works with just about any relevant app to keep you informed about updates and friends' responses. For more about what iOS 5 can do, check out PCMag's full review, or read on here to discover some of the nuances that improve the iPod touch's performance.
Audio and Video
Navigating the music menus on the iPod touch is completely intuitive. First off, there are so many ways to do it—using CoverFlow, searching Artist or Song, or perusing playlists. Apple has made everything fast and easy—scroll song or artist lists by dragging a finger or skip ahead to a letter on the scrollable alphabet on the right side of the screen. The Now Playing view is a showcase for album art, and you can play music while you surf the Web, view photos, or even play games.
By itself, the iPod touch is a fine audio device—plug in a pair of good-quality headphones and you won't be disappointed with the frequency range and overall audio quality. To my continuing disappointment, Apple still offers its stock, subpar earbuds. Audiophiles listening to Lossless tracks on the touch will be best served by leaving the EQ off. The settings Apple provides are presets; there's still no user-customizable EQ. Extra features like Shake to Shuffle, Volume Limit, and Sound Check can all be enabled or disabled easily.
The iTunes Store can be accessed via Wi-Fi for on-the-spot music and video purchases. Video looks fantastic on the Retina display. YouTube and Netflix will not look as sharp as video purchased from the iTunes Store, of course, but the speed with which video can be cued up without stuttering is impressive. Again, this is dependent on the strength of your Wi-Fi signal.
The touch integrates Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, though 802.11n only operates on the 2.4GHz band. Nike+ iPod support is also included for those who want to use the touch to help keep in shape.
CameraThe rear-facing camera records video in HD (720p), up to 30fps, capturing audio through the rear panel mic. Still photos max out at 960 by 720 pixels. This amounts to less than a megapixel, and compared with the iPhone 4S ($199.99-$399.99, 4.5 stars) and its 8-megapixel rear camera, the quality in images is stark. (See the slideshow for a side-by-side comparison.) The front-facing camera, intended for FaceTime video chat, offers lower resolutions: VGA-quality for photos and videos, again, up to 30fps.
Camera operation couldn't be more intuitive. An onscreen slide control toggles between still and video camera modes, and an icon in the lower left takes you to your gallery, where you can peruse your photos and videos. Video footage plays back onscreen with a scroll tool that shows a thumbnail timeline of your footage, making skipping to a certain spot easy. You can trim your footage on the player by dragging your finder over the thumbnail timeline of the footage and selecting segments to cut.
Capturing video is achieved by pressing the red Record button onscreen when in video camera mode, and tapping it again to end recording. The screen acts as your viewfinder and everything moves along in real time without stuttering. Low-light situations will make for some noisy footage, but in well-lit scenarios, the touch's video looks colorful and crisp. Uploading your video to YouTube or sending it as an email attachment, provided you have a Wi-Fi connection, is made easy with a button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen that walks you through a streamlined process to do either.
Unlike the iPhone 4S's camera, the iPod touch's has no flash, which makes low-light—particularly back-lit—scenarios rather challenging. You get 5x digital zoom for photos, which is activated by moving the slider on the screen above the on-screen shutter button, but zooming in creates noticeable artifacts. Landscape shots in adequate lighting look decent for a camera built into a player, and well-lit portraits look sharper than you'd expect, provided you don't zoom in too far. Like videos, photos can be sent out immediately via email, or you can assign a photo to be your new wallpaper or a friend's contact photo, all by pressing the lower left-hand button when viewing your image.
Battery Life and Conclusions
Apple rates the battery life for the iPod touch at an impressive 40 hours for audio and seven hours for video. We ran two different battery rundown tests. Playing music with Wi-Fi off and Auto-Lock set to one minute, we got a great result: 47 hours and 25 minutes. Playing video with Wi-Fi on and the screen set to full brightness, we got 5 hours, 32 minutes of video playback. At half brightness, we got more than eight hours. That's enough for a good day's worth of use. 
There are very few devices left that you can actually compare directly with the iPod touch, though both Sony and Samsung have announced, but not yet shipped Android-based PMPs. Many manufacturers have thrown in the towel and are taking on slightly less daunting targets, like the iPod nano or the iPod shuffle ($49, 3.5 stars), or are focusing on tablets instead. The only real problem with the touch is its high price—especially if you want a decent amount of storage. But with an entry point of $199, you do get a camera, HD video recording, messaging and video chat, a music and video player, portable gaming, the Web, email, and apps all in one slick, pocket-size package. It was true when it first debuted, and even more so now: No other portable media player can compete with the iPod touch.

Hands On with the ZTE WarpZTE has made major inroads into the US market in recent months, including phones with AT&T, Cricket, and now Boost. The Warp joins the Avail (for AT&T prepaid) and Score (for Cricket) in ZTE's Android lineup in the US.





The Warp doesn't skimp on screen size. The screen, at 4.3 inches, is large and sharp; great for taking advantage of everything a smartphone can do. As expected for a phone at this price point, the screen isn't top quality, though. The contrast ratio isn't great, meaning blacks aren't very black. The viewing angles aren't great, either, so it looks pretty bad if not viewed straight-on. But that's the trade-off for a phone this affordable. ($199 with no contract.) 

That's really the only noticeable trade-off. The hardware looks fine and feels nice. The phone feels very light, yet still solid. It's all-plastic, but everything fits well and the soft rubber-ish back feels nice in the hand. The touch keys across the bottom aren't lit, which will no doubt annoy anyone using one in dim situations, but otherwise they work fine. The volume and lock keys feel good and work well. The camera key is overly sensitive, but it's two-stage, (press half-way to lock focus), and many competing phones lack a hardware camera key, so at least it's there. 

The 5-megapixel camera seems to work well, with auto-focus. There's an LED flash, but video capture is not HD. The camera interface is standard Android, but a brightness control appears right in the viewfinder, which is handy.

Spotify app on Windows Phone hands-on Spotify for Windows Phone 7 has arrived in the Marketplace, and we wasted no time in breaking out the Nokia Lumia 800 and trying out the streaming music app. Announced yesterday, the app supports synchronized playlists with the desktop client, Spotify People friends updates, sharing via social networks and – most important for mobile use, perhaps – offline playback. Check out our video demo after the cut.



The app supports playback over WiFi and 3G, and you can choose whether to stream at regular or high quality. Offline playback is done on a per-playlist basis – tap the playlist and there’s a simple “Download” toggle at the top – with sync over 3G optional; you can also long-press on a playlist and pin it to the Start menu, make it collaborative (so allowing others to add tracks), share it via Twitter or other social networks, publish it or delete it. Playback controls are added to the lock screen, as shown above.



Search is supported, but if you’re less sure of what you’d like to listen to the app has a list of  new albums that have recently been added. Each has artwork, and you can long-press albums or individual tracks and choose to queue them, star them, add them to a playlist or share them. Add and Share buttons at the bottom do the same for the entire album.
Finally there’s the feed, where you see updates on what your Spotify People contacts are listening to as well as news from Spotify itself. Our only real criticisms are the absence of “top tracks” as you get in the Android Spotify app, and the Start menu icon, which is a stubborn green (the same as the Xbox LIVE tile, in fact) with no other color options.The app itself is a free download, though you’ll need a Spotify Premium account – priced at $9.99/€9.99/£9.99 per month – in order to actually use it.


The new app will let you see What's new, individual tracks, and all the usual Spotify features. The app is also going to offer background music support so you'll be able to listen to your favourite tracks while doing other things.
“Spotify is a great example of software innovation emanating from Sweden and Europe”, says Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft when the two announced the app for the first time in 2010. “We’re very glad to work in collaboration with Spotify to deliver a high quality, outstanding consumer experience on the Windows platform with Windows 7 and Windows Phone”.


The new application is available to download today from the Windows Phone Marketplace, and just like its counterparts it’s completely free to install. To enjoy the app on your mobile, however, you will need a Spotify Premium subscription, which costs $9.99 per month – in my opinion, it’s well worth it.
I expressed my love for Spotify when I wrote about the new Spotify application for BlackBerry devices back in October, and I maintain my belief that this service is a must-have for music lovers. For $9.99 a month you get instant access to over 15 million tracks, with no limits, and no adverts. Premium members are also promised premium quality, which means music streaming at 320 kbps.

ZTE Tania and LG Jil Sander Windows Phones hands-on - Wondering how they do Windows Phone in Asia? Take a peek at these two that have yet to find release on American shores -- and may never. The first is the ZTE Tania, which we've seen before, a 4.3-inch WVGA (naturally) device with a 1GHz processor and some... nondescript styling. 

Those looking for a bit more panache might think LG's offering would be more their speed. It's simply dubbed Jil Sander Phone. Jil Sander, if you don't know, is a bit of a player in the ready-to-wear market, but the phone bearing her name doesn't offer much in the way of visual drama. It has lots of hard-plastic ridges in clashing directions and a somewhat low rent feel. It sports a 3.8-inch display and a 1GHz processor, but is also pre-installed with the Jil Sander app to allow a "vivid interaction with the brand." We invite you to have your own vivid interaction with the two phones in the galleries below.

 The ZTE Tania is an upcoming Windows Phone with a 4.3” TFT LCD screen, HSPA+ data speeds, and a 1.0 GHz single-core processor. The phone has a new 5-megapixel rear camera, no front-facing camera, and 4 GB of storage. Gyro sensor is unknown. It will be launched in Europe Q4 2011, and in China early January, 2012. It is not coming to the United States. 
  
The LG Jil Sander is a new Windows Phone with a 3.8? TFT LCD screen, HSPA+ data speeds, and a 1.0 GHz first-gen single-core processor. The phone has a 5-megapixel rear camera, no front-facing camera, no gyro sensor and 16 GB of storage. It is currently for sale in Europe, and is not coming to the United States. 


The ZTE Tania is a smartphone from ZTE, which runs on WP7 Mango with a screen size 4.3-inch WVGA resolution with 1 GHz processor. For other specifications regarding the ZTE Tania still not officially confirmed by ZTE itself. As for the LG Jil Sander smartphone offers a screen size 3.8 inches with a 1 Ghz processor. In addition, the smartphone also has installed a special application, Jil Sander to facilitate user interaction with the brand.

It's simply dubbed Jil Sander Phone. Jil Sander, if you don't know, is a bit of a player in the ready-to-wear market, but the phone bearing her name doesn't offer much in the way of visual drama. It has lots of hard-plastic ridges in clashing directions and a somewhat low rent feel.

Apple get Half Profit Industry Mobile Phone - Apple’s iPhone accounts for 52% of the overall profits for the entire mobile phone industry, according to a new report by Cannacord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley. The iPhone consisted of more than half of the industry’s profits in the last business quarter.
The iPhone 4S is expected to push Apple’s share of the mobile industry’s profits to 60% in the final quarter of 2011. According to the report, the iPhone 4S was the best-selling handset on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint for the month of October.



 Two reports have come out which show the immense impact Apple's iPhone has had on the mobile market. The first report from comScore indicates that one in ten mobile customers in the US owns an iPhone of some kind. That's not just smartphone customers; that's all mobile customers. Given that just four years ago pundits laughed off Apple's goal of gaining a modest one percent of the market, that's a pretty incredible milestone.

comScore's numbers show Apple is fourth in overall handset market share in the US, behind Samsung, LG, and Motorola. The firm's other numbers seem to indicate that a large portion of that gap is due to those companies splitting the still huge feature phone market between them, while Apple naturally sells only the iPhone.

Google continues to "win" the market share race among US smartphone owners, with Android handsets claiming nearly half of all subscribers compared to Apple's more modest 27 percent share. However, another report from Canaccord Genuity (via Forbes) shows that Apple's "loss" to Android in terms of market share means next to nothing; Apple earns 52 percent of all profits in the mobile phone industry. Once again, that's not just smartphone profits, but all profits for all phones.

Samsung is the closest thing Apple has to a competitor when we talk about the actual amount of money companies make from handset sales, with 29 percent of the industry's profits. (Clearly, Samsung's, er, strategy is working out well.) All other handset makers are holding on to an extremely small share of mobile industry profits.
Once-mighty Nokia, which held an incredible two-thirds of all mobile industry profits in 2007, now accounts for only four percent of overall profits. All other handset makers, including RIM, are either earning a niche amount of profits or facing huge financial losses. Motorola has posted a net loss every year since 2007, which makes Google's $10 billion acquisition of the company seem that much odder.

None of this is to say that Apple can afford to stop innovating now that it's positioned itself at the undisputed top of the mobile industry's financial heap. Nokia is a perfect example of just how far a company can fall if it rests on its laurels for too long, but it seems unlikely that Apple will make that mistake.



This was said by analyst Michael Walkley of Canaccord Ingenuity on the record presented to investors. Being in the position of runner-up is a tough competitor Apple, Samsung, who got the 29%.
Despite suffering a small drop from last quarter, Apple is still taking more than half of all profits in the mobile phone industry. This is only bound to go up in light of the iPhone 4S's popularity and its availability on three carriers.

Technology analyst Michael Walkley has found that Apple has taken more than half of profits among the leading mobile phone manufacturers:
 “Apple generated a remarkable 52% of handset industry operating profits among the top 8 OEMs.”

This is very good news for Apple. Many people expected a significant drop in profit from consumers opting to not buy the iPhone 4 in anticipation of a new iPhone earlier this year. While that did have an effect, it was not nearly as pronounced as others had imagined it to be. As Forbes also points out, Apple is doing 5% better in comparison to this time last year - Apple's profits in Q3 of 2010 were at 47% after the release of the iPhone 4.

AllThingsD also mentions that Apple has done this with only a 4.2% global market share of handset units. With the release of the iPhone 4S, Walkley expects profits to soar even higher:
 “With Nokia in the midst of a challenging smartphone strategy transition and our checks indicating RIM and Motorola Mobility continue to struggle in North America given the increasingly competitive Android smartphone market, we believe Apple will gain further value share in the December quarter and could capture over 60 percent of industry profits.”

In addition, Walkley estimates 29 million iPhone units to be sold in December quarter, which will further expand Apple's market share.
 In an epic reversal of fortunes, Mr. Walkley pointed out that in 2007, Nokia had 67% of operating profits while Apple had just 4%.  Today, while Apple has 52% of industry profits, Nokia has been relegated its rival’s former position with just 4% of operating profits.
