Playstation 3 Firmware update 3.55

Hello everyone, new PS3 firmware update came out today, which really does not do anything, we previously got 3D blu-ray compatibility. This update just gives us a security update, probably so we can’t hack the PS3 and play hacked games, or other.

Just an opinion, check out this link to follow and get more information on update,

iOS 4.2 update for iPhone and iPad delayed

ios4.2

So new update was suppose to be issue through iTunes this past Friday 11/12/10, but no luck. 

Apple has delayed it until after thanksgiving right before thanksgiving weekend.

Looking forward to new editions, specially the ability to print any document or web page that you are on, it will help out a lot, including e-mails. I'm pretty sure several people have just stay with iPhone and not even purchased a laptop/notebook because they just check e-mail or search something online. iPhone just is the fastest and convenient way to do it.

We will see, it's about time for some more improvements in software. Looking forward to it, are you?

They are not angry with 2 million downloads

Angry Birds has been release on android and it was downloaded 2 million times in less than 3 days. WOW! Incredible. The developers sure have nothing to be angry about with great results.

It is currently available for android devices for free with add support but developer promises new add free version soon. iPhone has surpassed 8 million downloads for Angry Birds. It is a great game that is perfect for mobile devices.

It is even being developed for PS3 and Xbox 360. To make things better, it only costs one US dollar to download for iPhone. Very nice price, graphics, gameplay and very entertaining.

I played the light version and full version and both offer same gameplay just less levels on light version(free) for the iPhone. It’s a great game and you won’t be disappointed, so head over and download it. It’s a must have for mobile downloads.

Verizon iPhone and Google TV SOON

Part 1:
Verizon iPhone to be available early next year, as soon as January 2011.

For full story visit this link:Verizon iPhone

Verizon owners will know the strain AT&T network gets from the traffic. Well at least others will have the opportunity to have it on their own network. The information is solid even if Verizon has not confirmed it yet. Check out the link above from wall street journal for full story.

Part 2: Google TV

Google TV soon to be in competition with Apple TV and others want to make the TV/ Internet integration better for all. Looks great and from the looks of it, Pre-Orders are sold out.

They have partnered up with Sony and Logitech to bring the best of TV and Internet to your living room. Now before I go own, this has been tried before in the past with little success, but know that computers and TV are more a part of life, Technology in general. It is making it's comeback, no more keeping a computer next to your TV to view emails or surf the web. This is definitely a nice new touch to all the consumers that want to show others stuff on the web without having to connect the computer in the living room. This is going to be big, and Google looks to have a better outlook on how to integrate it than Apple.

Surfing the web is only one thing you can do, check out the link below to see what I'm writing about.

Internet Explorer 9 beta new features

Internet_Explorer_9    So, I downloaded new Internet Explorer 9 beta and what a difference, I might change browser once again back to Internet explorer from Firefox. I usually recommend Firefox for it’s easy to use interface and quick response plus security, but the new IE 9 has really stepped it up this time.
Here is a list of new features that are available with new IE9.

New Design
Looks great, expands to full screen and has less items on it's bar, less busy, easy to use.
 
New Tab Page
View all you pages in new tab page view it is easy to pick.

Search in the address bar
No need to open a search engine, just enter what you need on address bar and it looks for it. Don't exactly remember the website name or name of the what you are looking for no worries. It will look at all search engines you select to find the best selection closer to what you typed.

Enhanced tabs
Now you can keep track of what you have been watching, opens page that shows you your open tabs and tells you what you have visited most. Now this can be good or bad, will either tell you and help you remember favorite websites, but might show you that you are addicted to a certain web page. :-)

New Download manager
Shows you  all the downloads in order and helps download faster. Kind of like Firefox but nicer looking.

Pinned Sites
Ever wanted to get your favorite web pages on your desktop without or task bar, well now you can very easily. I know a lot of you facebook fans will love this because you can just pin it to your desktop and open the windows in one click.

Internet Explorer 9 is currently in beta stages. If you are not tech savvy stay away from it for a while until it comes out, but it is sure to be a welcomed update to internet explorer that everyone that uses it should look forward to. It even seems to be faster than Google chrome. Will continue testing, if you techs wants it and have not download it, just head over to Microsoft website and download the beta.

iPhone 4 firmware update: Sensor issue slightly got better and HDR pictures that help out with quality.

This is just a quick update on Sensor and HDR pictures with new iPhone Update 4.1

Part 1:

Now, starting with sensor problem. I was so happy to be reading several articles that the sensor was fixed. Fixed? hmm, yeah fixed according to many apple users that had GM final software. Before I go on, is it me or newer hardware is always suppose to be the same or better with certain functions/ updates?

My iPhone 3G’s proximity sensor is far superior to iPhone 4’s proximity sensor by 1 inch in distance and I’m able to move it up and down, side to side while speaking on phone.  So here is the story, I went ahead and updated my iPhone 4’s firmware to 4.1 the morning it got released. At first glance the phone proximity sensor testing was doing great. I made a call and started testing distances, movement and lighting. I was getting 2 to over 2 inches of distance with it not turning back on, I was impressed.

Then all went down hill that night after work. I was sitting in my car, pretty dark. Made a phone call and noticed red proximity light bright. Then I continued the conversation and noticed screen flashing. It would do it when phone was next head, it started warming. Getting hot, perhaps it kept flashing the screen often. I stopped the conversation and decided to test it at home. I got home made a call to other cell phone and screen would keep on turning on and off when it was next to my ear. Several times I had it pressed against my ear and it would not turn off and I would end up pressing facetime or mute with my cheek. I could not believe that with the firmware update my phone had gotten worst

I stopped testing and got my wife’s iPhone 3G to test same number to call and same distances. WOW! what a difference, proximity sensor was working great. It can be moved back and forth a few inches, and moved around quite a bit with no interference. iPhone 3G was over 2 years old and had better proximity sensitivity than iPhone 4. I was frustrated, so took it in the next morning to Apple to get it replaced. Before I did , I called apple and tech said that iPhone 4 cannot be compared to iPhone 3G’s proximity sensor because they are in different places. Yes, that is true. IPhone 4 proximity sensor is right above ear speaker and iPhone 3G’s proximity sensor is to the left of ear speaker. IPhone 4, had to make that change for camera, fair enough, but why did it get worst than iPhone 3G’s sensor.

I was not happy, but Apple likes their customers and likes to keep us happy. Their customer service is great, and they work with you. So I'm in the Apple store and show him pictures and take iPhone 3G to show difference between old device and new. They go ahead and swap out my phone. I am a happy camper, test the new phone in store with firmware update 4.02 and seems to be working better than the one I had but not as good as iPhone 3G.  I get home and begging upgrading to firmware 4.1, during that time thinking to myself (this is great! new firmware will surely give this proximity sensor more accuracy, can’t wait)

Update completed, says my ITunes screen, great. Get the phone and begging the testing.

Called another phone and began testing. HUH, mixed emotions came over me. Proximity sensor not working near as good as iPhone 3G, but much better. During the times I made calls it did not once hang up, accidently hit mute or begin FaceTime call with it.

The screen would still turn off and on but be dimmer, maybe it stops it from hitting keys on phone while in call. Overall it is working better. It could also be because I have a new phone and my old phone’s proximity sensor was not working correctly. Until now, it seems that it is not completely fixed. It is a great phone but still has does hick ups.  I know there are others out there with same problem, what do you guys have to say, write your comments below.

Part 2: HDR photos with iPhone 4

I recently attended a weeding was an official photographer, noticed I don’t say professional because I was using my iPhone 4. Those pictures looked pretty good, actually much better than others. Won’t post those but will post a few Star Wars Collectable photos I took indoors. You can defiantly tell the difference there.  See photos and read labels.

On this photo you see it bright and text on paper above helmet is to bright to tell what it is, check out right picture with HDR enabled.

 

On this photo you can see detail on paper above helmet. You can even see where I edited some private information.

IMG_0084    NO HDR

 

IMG_0085    HDR Enabled

 
 
 

IMG_0086 NO HDR

 

IMG_0087 HDR Enabled

I believe indoors in dark spaces it works good, makes the picture brighter and more detailed. Outdoors the pictures look a little to bright and colors kind of wash away. But it is a great option to have, definitely a great add-on to the iPhone camera. You can take HDR photos in landscape or portrait. When taking HDR photos you will notice a delay back the camera view because it takes a few seconds to store 2 images into you photo library but not an annoyance. Which you do you guys like better, leave you comments below.

iPhone 4: New hard case scratch resistant cover

by:  NavasTech

So I was searching for an iPhone 4 cover to protect my new iPhone and at the same time allow me to use my aftermarket chargers. I had several chargers that just do not fit properly with new iPhone bumper. That is another blog all together. I'm just saying why is it they came out with the bumpers when iPhone came out, did they know about antenna problem? Just thinking out loud.

OK, back to the topic. I searched around and purchased and returned a few covers that I had purchased a major retail stores. Then I found one that just fit right, and made the phone look great. Plus easy to remove but not by mistake. Check out the photos below.



iPhone 4 cover back side upside down and front


iPhone / cover back / cover front facing backwards





iPhone  / back cover facing back / front cover facing front up





cover installed






Sim Card opening



Back side, very easy to clean


Top view, audio jack and power button.






Bottom speakers and power/data connection, nice amount of space, other chargers work great.



Phone turned ON, looks good
It's simple and easy to install, makes  phone look good, does not show iPhone logo, but it does the job it is needed for. Purchased it from the mall at a phone station, manufacturer: ZiZo wireless

Update:

If you purchase any of these covers at their stations, ask them for a discount, they will work with you. Normal price of $29.99, got mine half off.
