Microsoft introduces two Kin phones to target youth market
Microsoft finally unveiled its mobile strategy to entice consumers in their teens and twenties. It’s coming out with two phones, the Kin One and Kin Two that deeply integrate social networking features. The launch is an attempt by Microsoft to bring back the glory days of Danger’s Sidekick device, which was incredibly popular among young people. Microsoft purchased Danger Research in 2008, and since then there’s been little public success from that union; it wasn’t difficult to imagine that they were working on something covertly. Verizon will be the exclusive wireless partner for the new Kin phones in the U.S., and the device will roll out to its stores in May.

iPad cost $260 to manufacture
That’s the total cost of manufacturing for each iPad! The new 16GB iPad, which is selling in the US for $499, cost just $259.60 to make, according to iSuppli. The research firm said the much-hyped tablet device has already “changed the game of how many electronic products are – and will be – designed.” With more than 40% of its Bill of Materials (BOM) dedicated to the display, touch screen and other user interface components, the iPad is a radical departure in electronic design Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst, said conventional notebooks are “motherboard-centric”, with all other functions, such as the display and keyboard, peripheral to the central microprocessor and the main PCB. With the iPad, this is reversed. Everything is human-machine-interface-centric, with the PCB and Integrated Circuits (ICs) all there to facilitate the display of content as well as user inputs. iSuppli estimated that the BOM of the 16GB, Wi-Fi only iPad at $250.60.

Nokia n900: Clocking 800MHz
And there you have it, a 800MHz clocking Nokia n900 – that’s a 33% overclock over the stock 600MHz and it’s all thanks to Letho’s kernel. Titans kernel was also available but i felt an inclination towards this one. It’s also a ultra low voltage kernel, which means that in this case the processor is running at (an assumed) 1.14v which is lower than the stock by a couple of milli volts. And that’s

Nokia n900: What’s your clock speed?
After hacks that made overclocked the n900 were made available by Lehto and Titan the question on everyone’s lips had been why Nokia didn’t do this itself in the first place. Possible answers include:Greater Stability at lower clock speeds. Lower power loss due to heat which also accounts for longer lifespan. Increased battery longevity.

What’s Nokia and Newegg Up To?
Happy Easter, from Nokia & Newegg to you. A little something arrived in my mailbox yesterday…(updated!) A large Cadbury “crunchie” Easter egg, courtesy of the fine folks over at Womworld . That was mysterious in itself, but included in the box was a message that read “We just wanted to let you know of a new exciting project between Nokia & Newegg.com…keep your eyes peeled for more information!” Interesting. The million dollar question is, of course, just what is this new project/partnership? Nokia makes cell phones and accessories, and Newegg is one of the Web’s favorite retailers (it’s definitely one of mine, next to Amazon).

I trust tech-facts.
In politics, public opinion is one of the indicators of the desirability of a certain public official. On that account, politicians who want to capture the seat of the presidency must shell out a sizeable amount of cash to gauge his or her chances to become the chief executive of the land. This is the primary reason why the presidential hopefuls too hire the smartest and the astute political propagandists and spin doctors to build up their public image so that the nitpicking electorate can size up the presidential candidate in relation to his platform such as in economics, education, health, international policies and other important tech surveys which would create a major impact on a certain nation. In the corporate world and business world also it’s very important to beef up a particular product to instill to the buying public that this product is superior ware in terms of quality, functionality and image in comparison to the major brands in the market

.. because all its n900 owners just got access to PR1.1.1. The full code is : 3.2010.02-8.201.1 Of course users from elsewhere in the world had already got the update from the repository back on February 16th. Then there were those users who flashed to the global image so that they could have a taste of PR 1.1.1 themselves. This is also said to be sort of a forerunner to get the firmware ready
