GPS Security And Privacy - Pros Vs Cons
2008-01-25 08:07:00
As you may well be aware, there are many important benefits to consider when using the Global Positioning Satellite System GPS. It is invaluable when trying to navigate in unfamiliar areas, but some people think it is an invasion of privacy. Security and privacy have been openly debated, and most adults believe that it is more beneficial than detrimental. GPS tracking devices can provide monitoring data on a vehicle such as total miles driven, speeds that it was driven, traveled routes, as well as its current location. <br><p><a href=http://pagr.portagr.com:80/p348an16/ gps-ez/news_2008-01-25-07-07-54-461.html& #62;Full text</a></p>

Toshiba Portégé G710 coming to Vodafone Germany as the VDA GPS
2008-01-24 11:31:00
We’ve already seen what’s Toshiba up to. One of the devices spotted includes the monoblock Portégé G710, which is heading to Vodafone Germany as VDA GPS. As you probably already know, it’s the quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE Windows Mobile 6 smartphone that also sports such goodies as Bluetooth, GPS, full QWERTY keyboard, and the 2 megapixel camera. On the down side, it lacks 3G and WiFi connectivity support, making it kinda strange buying choice, especially for corporate customers. However, the G710’s weaknesses may make the device more affordable — not that we know how much it will cost, nor when exactly it will be released.

mini USB Digital Camera
2008-01-23 13:00:00
No idea whether this concept could actually take off, but fancy a digital camera that actually fakes itself as an analog? The mini USB digital camera lacks a LCD display like all its brethren in the market today, so you'll have to use the good ol' viewfinder instead. Once filled to the brim, you hook it up to a PC via USB and download all those photos taken. Designed by Sungwoo Park, this could be the next Lomo craze, or it could be yet another idea swimming alone in the sea, waiting for the ride time and tide to come along.

T-Mobile loses $8.2 million in mobile phone robbery - warehouse burgled for
2008-01-22 19:41:00
Just how much is a warehouse full of mobile phones worth? Well, according to T-Mobile , their warehouse-filling stock of 36,000 handsets is worth $8.2 million. How does T-Mobile know this? Well, said warehouse was burgled recently and the robbers got away with 36,000 mobile phones - mostly of the T-Mobile exclusive Sidekick variety. On the upside, the IMEI numbers (a network-registration number) of the devices are known and T-Mobile is working with law enforcement to track down any offending IMEI numbers that hit T-Mobile’s network. T-Mobile is warning their dealers of any shady gray-market deals, and has sent out an email giving these retailers a heads-up on any deals that look too good to be true. “Wanted to let you all know that one of our warehouses was broken into over the weekend and some 36,000 phones were stolen (worth about 8.2 Million ). The most significant phones stolen were the Sidekick phones. Please make sure you inform the dealers who like to purchase gray ...

US experts urge research into cellphone effects on children
2008-01-19 21:47:00
We were pretty much on the money when we speculated that France’s move to warn its citizens about limiting cellphone use among youngsters would prompt other countries to do the same. Experts in the US are urging Yankee researchers to look into the possible effects of cellphone use on children and their development. Youngsters are more prone to any type of radiation because they’re still developing and growing. And it seems that some vague links between mobile phone use and brain tumors has prompted the The U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ask the National Research Council to recommend some future lines of study. The National Research Council advises Congress and other federal government agencies on what areas of science warrants more research. The convened a meeting of experts and has released a new report that indicates that more research needs to be done to determine the link between mobile phones and children. The Council stated that “measuring the amount of...

Mio kinda mimics Samsung?s approach to phones - one side phone, other side
2008-01-19 13:02:00
You’ve probably already heard a number of stories that pure portable navigation devices (PND) are bound to die in the coming years. So it doesn’t surprises the leading PND manufacturers want to get into the handset market and release either its software for the popular smartphone platforms (something TomTom and Garmin already did) or even make their own GPS-equipped devices. That being said, Navigadget spotted the Mio’s upcoming GPS equipped phone at this year’s CES. Similarly to Samsung ’s approach with the UpStage (B’Phone ), the device pictured above has two faces. But unlike the UpStage which reserves one face for music and the other for phone, Mio’s device puts navigation instead of music. The end result is large screen navigation device that’s also the mobile phone. Cool approach, don’t you think? Finally, in case you’re wondering, we’ve no idea when the Mio GPS phone will be available nor which markets it will ta...

Michelin Exits the Consumer GPS Market
2008-01-18 22:16:00
If I say “Michelin ”, you think “Tires”, right? Well, that resumes why Michelin is exiting the consumer GPS Market . While you might think that this sector is technology-driven, it is not really - at least, not in the entry-level market. GPS devices have reached the point of being “good enough” and most people couldn’t care less about gimmicks like multimedia features. However, like any commodity, branding still plays a major role in selling the products (yes, just like soap) and Michelin never built a GPS brand that did resonate with consumers. I guess that the company thought that its foothold on the “auto’ market was good enough. It wasn’t. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Acer also jumps onto Miniature Notebook Bandwagon
2008-01-17 09:39:00
Acer does not want to be left out of the miniature notebook bandwagon game with plans to unveil 8" and 9" notebooks before the second quarter of this year is over. Details will be extremely sparse, although we do know that the screens will be produced by AU Optronics - the same company that supplies screens to Asus. Word on the street has it that these new Acer offerings will be priced below existing Eee models, but I'm not too sure how they will stack up against the new range of Eee PCs.

Acer to Launch Low-Cost Notebooks in the First Half of 2008
2008-01-17 02:59:00
Acer is going head to head with ASUS and its blockbuster Eee PC in the low-cost laptop space. Digitimes reports that Acer will get Wistron to manufacture these new notebooks. 8 and 9" LCD displays will come from AU Optronics. It is not known if Acer will design the notebook or if Wistron will do the job for them. I don’t see how Acer will beat Asus in cost or design, given that Asus has more control over it and a good design team, but we’ll know soon enough. This move confirms the fact that good design, small size and low-cost is the “new cool” these days. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Soyntech WiFi-finder laptop bag
2008-01-16 12:09:00
With WiFi hotspots getting common all over the place, having a WiFi-finder laptop bag pretty much makes sense. It is capable of hunting down a signal wherever you are, showing you all the wireless connections available through a "slideshow" function without having you to turn on the laptop. They retail between 35€ to 70€, depending on the type of style which suits you better. While the WiFi Detector Shirt is way cooler than the laptop bag, I must say that the latter is far more practical. It would be better to see solar panels attached to this in order to make this a truly must-have purchase for executives and laptop-toting folks everywhere.

OK, so the MacBook Air sounds pretty light, but here we have the Belinea s.book 1 from VIA Technologies and Maxdata that tips the scales at less than 1 kg. Released for the German market, it will be far from powerful compared to the MacBook Air, but the specifications sure sound ideal for day-to-day use such as checking email, Web browsing and playing Web-based games. Powered by a 1.2GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor, the Belinea s.book 1 is now available at qualified specialist dealers in Germany. They certainly look good for use in events such as CES where walking with a less compact laptop is a killer on one's back. According to Slashgear, the Belinea s.book 1 would retail in the region of $1,200.

Rapid adoption of GPS technology in mass-market GSM/WCDMA handsets will be the main driver. “Last year marked the breakthrough for GPS outside the CDMA-market with successful product launches by Nokia, HTC and others”, commented André Malm, telecom analyst, Berg Insight. “This year we expect to see an abundance of new models supporting GPS from all major brands.
