BlackBerry Creates Tablet with 1GHz Chip Plus Dual Cameras
Research In Motion (RIM) does not want to be defeated by Apple Inc. After their BlackBerry phones compete with the iPhone smart phone market share, now it is time to “fight” for the tablet PC market.
Despite losing the start, the BlackBerry will catch up with Apple iPad in making a tablet that has a greater capacity and complete facilities.
According to an analyst and managing director at Rodman; Renshaw, Ashok Kumar, RIM is targeting the end of this year to release a tablet that uses BlackBerry 1GHz processor capacity. Tablets of 7-inch touch screen will be supported by the processor from Marvell.
Marvell, which supplies the main processor for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, will also supply the silicon on the tablet, which will be used for 3G connectivity. According to Kumar, one of the chips that will be used by the BlackBerry is a tablet which has a capacity of 610 Marvell 1GHz.
This processor is intended for tablet devices, mobile Internet, and e-Reeder. Chip is also capable of displaying pictures in high definition (HD) 1080p, dual ability of 16 megapixel camera, and support for graphical three-dimensional (3D). As for RIM, they declined to comment on the analysis of Kumar.
BlackBerry Curve 8900
Blackberry Curve has added a series of new family members with the presence BlackBerry Curve 8900, or more familiar called Javelin. Judging from the design, Typical Curve 8900 was inherited Curve 8300 faces. But overall, it looks to follow the style Bold. Just look at the shiny black and chrome touches that adorned its body. Easy way to describe it is to imagine the Bold with the body style of the Nokia E71.
If not subjective, we fell that 8900 Curve Blackberry is one of the most convenient for us. Fit in the sense of freely inserted into the pocket, but not too small, make it ‘unrealized’. It weighs is about 110 grams which feels good, too: Not too easy or too heavy. Anyway, it’s suit in that aspect.
Like other bar types BlackBerry, Javelin wear track ball for navigation. We just need some time to get used to using the ball to move the cursor. Qwerty keyboard, of course, still a mainstay Javelin as input devices. But somehow we need a little time to familiarize our stubby fingers to press the button does not slip. His own keyboard consists 4 lines, including the space key.
From the port side, Javelin separating the functions of the headset charger port / transfer of data by adding a 3.5mm jack. It means you can use a headset if you want a quality alternative to a more clear sound. But we’ve just carried away with the sound quality from the headset load, so it seems you do not have to bother buying another headset. While we found the external speaker extends below the camera lens and lighting. The sound can be set to the maximum loud and pretty clear sound.
Javelin is using 512MHz processor speed. Not the fastest on the market, but still able to handle the needs of various applications running. For the needs of data storage, available for 256MB of internal memory and microSD memory slot / SDHC support up to 16GB. Note that however it would be less hassle to replace the memory card because it was behind the casing. In the unit we received, the slot was filled with 1GB card.
Javelin was wearing 3.2MP resolution camera like most smart devices in the market. There was the flash, but no mirror. The camera button on the right body, the volume buttons and the charger port. By the way, this button can be reset turns out to be other application shortcuts.
A rather unfortunate from the Javelin is not support 3G. But at least there are facilities Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g) which can be used as an alternative Internet connection. Also available are facilities that use GPS BlackBerry maps made by Tele Atlas Maps and Google Maps as a companion. Fairly good accuracy, although we need to note that there are times when the connection to the satellite was slow.
As a business device, Javelin has a lot of work applications. We’ll find a lot of personal management applications and document maker. Do not forget the BlackBerry solution for the enterprise. One of the services that must be familiar to our ears is the BlackBerry push mail service. In the demo unit we received, we even saw RIM include easy access to social networking sites like Facebook in row applications.
The BlackBerry was to be an idol. No wonder the presence or Curve 8900 Javelin awaited gadget lovers. We own Javelin liked the elegant design and feels good in hand, but unfortunately not support 3G. But if your internet connection speed is not a priority, Blackberry Curve 8900 is a decent option ogled. Moreover, a recent BB guaranteed to boost your slang style.
BlackBerry Storm 9500
Tag : EMR, practice management software, hospital information systems
Qwerty keyboard keys can be said is characteristic of the BlackBerry. But Storm kicked off the tradition. There is no Qwerty keypad on this device. They use the virtual keys. Yes, Storm relying solely on the touch screen as an input. Unmitigated, RIM’s touch-screen technology is using a completely different technology. It’s name, SurePress.
We do not just touch the screen, but also to suppress. Light touch only highlight the menu, just when we press, the menu is active. When pressing the screen, you’ll notice the screen “bouncy” or feedback from the screen, like a spring underneath. Try it feel when you “squeeze” the keypad when to call or “squeeze” the keyboard when a text message.
In our opinion, is the approach SurePress genius of the BlackBerry. The combination large screen (3.2 inches) and the feedback screen make typing process to be accurate and easy. To type numbers are a little inconvenient because we have to go back and forth pressed alt key number, but it was his weakness. In general, SurePress make typing emails and documents were so easy and fun on the Storm.
Storm looks chunky body. It was quite reflect the heavy weight (158 grams) in our grasp. But, this is making steady grasped. Storm rear casing is made of metal with a texture of fine lines on the surface.
Support for BlackBerry push mail service is well known as the RIM-made device features. Storm is no exception. For businesses that are connected to the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, they can easily synchronize with corporate data. Storm himself bombarded with lots of luggage applications. For those who travel a lot, there WorldMate Live is going to be a smart guide. Viigo, CNBC Asia, WAJ Mobile, until Document To Go is a long line of applications that will be very useful when working.
To support its GPS facility, Storm using the BlackBerry Maps application maps. But RIM is also included Google Maps as a supporter. Appropriate accuracy thumbs up. While for ease of synchronize data, available Desktop Manager application. Once connected to a PC via a data cable, Storm immediately recognized and installed drivers immediately. We live choose to use Storm as a Mass storage or synchronization. For personal users, Storm set up support for free e-mail popular, including Yahoo Mail. We also will find a quick shortcut to YouTube and Facebook.
But Storm is not only good for a serious business. Want to hear a song or movie? Storm has entered the application. Eye was satisfied to watch the screen comfortably relieved and ears to hear a clear voice produced external speakers or headset. Another note, Storm has a 3.5mm jack so we can use third-party headphones.
What we pity, Storm does not provide WiFi. RIM’s Storm users may assume in the area of stable 3G networks. And in Indonesia, his condition was not good. Capacity Storm also just 1GB (onboard memory) plus 128 MB (flash memory); seemed small when compared with the iPhone 3G that has an internal memory of at least 8 GB. But the Storm has a MicroSD slot that supports up to 32GB MicroSD card.
SurePress really change the way mobile devices using touch sailing. Not only for the Crackberry, also for mobile device users. Push mail service, of course, still be the main attraction BlackBerry family, but pre-install applications on the Storm will be a new attraction.
