We reached the last part of analysis, and we hope that you have served here to learn more about the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, one of the major terminals of the season. We review your appearance, your hardware and of course, software.

Before giving final conclusions of the terminal, we had left one of your strong points, to seek independent, we refer to your camera, very good in both picture and video. I also propose some alternatives, and reflect on the current state of Sony Ericsson.

Behind the phone there are two technologies inherited from other Sony products that attract your attention, we speak of Exmor R and Mobile Bravia Engine. The media could be more than practical, but the truth is that Sony’s engineers have worked quite well.

Exmor R is the name given to the sensors backlit Japanese photography division, where they have shown that compact (not very large sensors) it works. Its main virtue is to achieve reduction of noise in low light situations, yes, doing miracles.

The sensor size is not very flashy, 1/3.2 “, especially compared with that of Nokia N8 (1/1.83″), the true king of the category. Try to balance the situation with the backlight, but you cannot perform miracles and the sensor size makes the Nokia model is more sensitive to the different situations that may arise. To compensate for something else has chosen an f/2.4 aperture.

Sony Ericsson W8 is the first Walkman phone series that focuses on the Android operating system, an issue that brings value to multimedia mobile to a higher level, thanks to the ecosystem that comes to Google.

The Smartphone has many similarities with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, a mid-range terminal with which it shares much of the hardware, and inexplicably, operating system version. Presented with Android 2.1, when the rest of the family and comes with Gingerbread, does not seem the right thing.

Accompanying we customize Android Sony Ericsson Timescape, but to get the smaller size of screen, plays with shortcuts in the four corners (we met on the Xperia X10 mini), and proprietary applications such as the Walkman and TrackID. Read more… »

The lucky users Nvidia Tegra hardware devices have reason to be happy in regard to recreational land, as it has been officially PlayStation Suite support on these devices.

Some users browsing the application Tegra Zone Xoom compatible devices such as Motorola have discovered the announcement of the arrival of the games that are developing in PlayStation Suite platform.

Sony Ericsson Xperia seems Play is not restricted, but we must bear in mind that the games will be developed for the Sony machine, so it does not exploit the superior graphics power Tegra 2, but seen from another angle, enlarge the catalog with good games is also a welcome idea.

PlayStation Suite recall that has cross-platform development tools, but destined for android devices, as we explained in the presentation. The next notebook from Sony, the NPM can also access the games developed.

We do not know if the Playstation Content Management Suite will come preinstalled on the phones or will be sought in the android market. Yes, we can report that a couple of games are being developed, in addition to the PSOne classic, where there is good material to stop a train. Eventually, it takes a PlayStation 2 title.

Microsoft’s hardware division, not very active but accurate, has announced the launch of its latest high definition webcam, this time with a common target and not only advanced users and companies sod.

The new Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 has an interesting design but the best is back inside, where a number of technologies will help us to video conference sessions at least nothing disappointing about the quality, another thing is the content.

The resolution achieved with this webcam is 720p, but not only that. The HD-3000 LifeCam has autofocus and a target ratio 16:9 widescreen that lets you record personal videos can then upload to the Internet with very good quality. Special care will light key in the webcam.

Precisely for these problems associated with the room illumination is incorporated into this webcam TrueColor technology, which automatically adjusts the webcam frame to give maximum brightness and video color  using a face recognition system to it is neither overexposed or underexposed.

The price of this new webcam is not official yet but will be below 30 euros, psychological barrier that people in Microsoft is marked for products to be popular and affordable. Another thing is that the webcam to an existing product or not.

We all know that large datacenters not use the same hardware as that of our homes. Maybe sometimes, be similar, but usually not integrated in the same way. One of the main priorities for these institutions (which, incidentally, are much more common than we think) is to optimize the ratio performance / watt and achieved great potential but at affordable prices for any company, Including Microsoft. The guys from Redmond are one of the leading companies in the sector, and of course make use of multiple data centers physically located throughout the world. These centers used for storing and executing information based on cloud computing services (also called the cloud).

We also know that Microsoft and Intel are two companies that have historically been well supported with each other. The last thing we know is that Microsoft is pushing Intel to evolve its Intel Atom so that they are good processors for use in large data centers and servers. It seems that they want to achieve is the number of Atom chips with 16 cores, each of which would be very basic but would work very efficiently in parallel, performing complex calculations in relatively low and getting better results than the current Xeon or Opteron processors very powerful but also with large energy consumption.

Do not stop leaks of Canada’s new RIM phones, which incidentally did not use the CES to present. Yesterday we showed you the BlackBerry Dakota with details of the operating system version 6.1 BlackBerry OS, and minutes later came the successful renewal of the BlackBerry Curve.

Today we continue with a twist of the recent BlackBerry Torch, a fairly recent terminal did not expect a new version, but the reality is that we have a picture and specifications to share with you, making it clear that RIM still has not officially confirmed .

For those who walk’m just taking a look at the images of this BlackBerry Torch 2, it is a sliding QWERTY keyboard terminal. The main and surprising change, is found in a processor at 1.2 GHz (with graphics acceleration), double the original Torch.

A source like that starts this news for me is reliable, especially in areas BlackBerry, but it seems too much hardware for a 3.2-inch screen (640 x 480 pixels), which fortunately is capacitive. The former model now has a lower resolution: 360 x 480 pixels.

The exterior is almost the same, with 14.6 millimeters thick, and we found a matte silver color as the primary difference. Other technical specifications:

• 8GB internal memory, 512MB of RAM
• 5 megapixel camera with flash
• Bluetooth connectivity 2.1, WiFi n
• GPS receiver with Digital Compass (New in BlackBerry OS 6.1)
• Support (NFC in the new BlackBerry news)
• Proximity sensor and accelerometer
• Battery 1300 mAh
• GSM / GPRS / EDGE, Tri-band HSPA 14.4Mbps

We anticipated back in August, and now we have official confirmation of the great specs we advance on the Meizu M9, besides the presentation of the phone company, to remember making some ideas stolen iPhone 4 to take them to Android.

The brand China has been playing before copying designs from Apple for making their devices, but this time decided to stay with one of the special features of Apple’s latest handset, the same screen resolution Retinal Display.

Both phones share the 960 × 640 pixels on a 3.5 inch screen, we do not know is whether quality will rise, but it looks like it will be very good considering that the screens are from Sharp ASV.

In the process they have not spared, on the contrary, as they bet on the same hardware that has the Samsung S Galaxy, known as S5PC110, and a lot of trouble to give yet. Read more… »

The year 2011 will be clearly that of the tablets. To say otherwise is to deny reality. But as is currently happening in the world of smartphones, the hardware without control is useless. Or at least no more than as a paperweight when we get bored of novelty. The operating system is what will give life and meaning to the tablets and Engadget are reviewing the most important in a special.

It is also deciding on a model from a variety of sizes and features, the user has the complex task of right the first time in the operating system. A tablet is a major investment and if we can start betting on the winning horse, the better for our pocket and satisfaction.

This afternoon we learned that his name would be Nexus S, and have not spent more than a few hours and we have the first images of Google phone developed by Samsung-experience.

Thanks to the folks at gadget we can see how that rumor started Gizmodo, and people did not give much credibility, it was true, even Samsung’s own stepped out to tell the story would not go anywhere. Very important to inform the operating system used is Android 2.3, better known as Gingerbread.

Little more than images of the device have to share with you, half a dozen catches that allow us to discover some details and confirm the characteristics and design features that we share with you a few days ago, as the front camera for video calls, the screen Super AMOLED 4 inches and looks like a Samsung Galaxy S.
