Sony Ericsson's K700i

Sony Ericsson's K700i 04/11/2005 09:57 AM
Sony Ericsson's K700i mobile phone offers "the latest in imaging, connectivity and entertainment into one easy-to-use handset" according to Sony Ericsson’s Product Marketing Manager Antal Keur. The phone is equipped with a large high-quality colour screen and is said to be "as much a phone as it is a camera." Outstanding features of the K700i include a VGA camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth wireless technology, FM radio, MP3 player, MPEG4 player and a crisp, bright, 1.8-inch 65k TFT colour (176 x 220 pixels) display. The phone features a camera equipped with a 4x digital zoom, and using Sony Ericsson's QuickShare technology, users can share pictures with a computer or other phones, using Bluetooth, email, MMS or a (not-included) USB cable. The K700i can also be used as a remote control for a computer using its built-in infrared, and it also supports Java and Mascot Capsule 3D graphics platform. With a brushed aluminium finish, the K700i is a sleek, stylish phone that anyone could be proud to pack. The rubber cover for the power port is also quite sleek, keeping the ports hidden, but quite difficult to flip (and keep) up. The menu is easy to navigate on this triple-band GSM/GPRS phone, and it supports MMS, allowing the user to compose messages with animations, video clips, pictures and sounds. The K700i is 3.9" x 1.8" x 0.8" (99 mm x 46.5 mm x 19.5 mm), weighs in at 93 grams and and has a standby time of up to 300 hours and talk time of up to 8 hours. The included headset has good sound, a shirt clip and an on/off button, but it is hard to plug in and unplug. The radio works well (and needs the headset to work as it is the antenna) and is a great addition to the phone. There are a few disadvantages to this phone. Starting off with the minor problems, people with large fingers might have trouble pressing the small buttons. Also, some users have complained about battery life of the phone stating that it has to be charged every day. Spymac didn't have this problem but the battery was brand new, though it did drain slightly faster than batteries in other phones tested. Now, for the more serious issues with the phone. When a picture is taken it looks great at the time on the display but the image that is stored is blurred and slightly different to the one previously displayed. The most serious issue is that the menu navigation is sometimes slow and there are often long pauses when navigating. The phone would sometimes stop for no reason, and then, when it recovered, it performed keypresses that occurred during the time it was paused, putting the user in the wrong place in the menu. This frustrating problem occurred at least half of the time that Spymac used the phone. (After thinking it was me and my inability to use this new phone's menu, I did some research and found that many other users had this same problem. One user compared the K700i to his old T610 stating "its like the difference between a tortoise and cheetah when it comes to speed.") The K700i is a nice little phone with great picture and graphics quality and crisp sound. Spymac would recommend this phone if it didn't have slow menu problems as it has crystal-clear sound and some really cool features. Sample picture Pros: MMS support Integrated FM radio Clear sound Cons: Slow menu No email expansion If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Sony-Ericsson's Linux-based ROB-1

Sony-Ericsson's Linux-based ROB-1 03/14/2005 06:03 PM
A LinuxDevices.com article describes the new Sony Ericsson ROB-1 robot which was announced last week. The robot is basically a small, teleoperated camera contained in an 11 cm spherical shell. The two hemispheres form main drive wheels and a small tail-dragger is used for balance. The robot uses a 200 MHz Freescale Dragonball processor with 2 MB of RAM and runs Linux. The robot can maintain a bluetooth link to a Sony-Erricsson P900/P910 mobile phone. The phone can control the robot and display streaming video from the onboard camera.

The Inquirer is reporting that some problems have arisen with Sony Ericssons' new P900 smartphone and that they're so bad that cellular carrier Orange has recalled the first shipments made in the UK. Of course, they don't specify what those problems might be, only that a "usually reliable source" had indicated that something was wrong. Read UPDATE: Sony Ericsson is denying that there is any problem, and The Inquirer is now admitting that their source could have "confused the P900 with the SX1" from Siemens, which still isn't out yet.

Female bl0gger's first-person sex column

Female bl0gger's first-person sex column
causes ruckus in China 12/02/2003 01:42 AM
NY Times piece on 25-year-old Chinese blogger Mu Zimei, whose sexually explicit first-person accounts have generated controversy -- and celebrity -- for the former magazine columnist. Snip:

What changed everything was her decision in April to start her own online blog at a new Chinese site for personal diaries. She said she thought it would be fun. While writing her magazine column, she had hopped from man to man, sometimes hopping to two men at once, sometimes hopping to married men. Her topics, though, remained more thematic than explicit.

But in her online diary, she began writing explicitly about these encounters, or those of her friends, and on July 26 described her brief and apparently unsatisfying liaison outside a restaurant with a famous guitarist in a Guangzhou rock band. The entry was posted at a popular online discussion board, spread among China's "netizens" like wildfire and was quickly picked up in the gossipy newspapers that feed China's growing celebrity culture. Eventually, she was featured in China's edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.

Link. Zimei isn't the first female writer in China to raise eyebrows over sexually explicit autobiographical work -- check this link for background on Mian Mian. (thanks, Invi sible Cowgirl)

Honda Hybrid Heist How-dunnit -- can you
solve this? 02/16/2004 09:21 PM
Former guestblogger Todd Lappin says:

Newsweek correspondent Brad Stone has written a "how-dunnit?" piece about the recent theft (and recovery) of his 2003 Honda Civic hybrid [affectionately nicknamed "Honky" --XJ]. In theory, thieves shouldn't have been able to steal the car, because it's equipped with a security transponder that's all but uncrackable. Brad writes, "Were we to believe that a thief stole our car to brag to his friends about getting 40-plus miles to the gallon and preserving city air? Odder still, how could they have bypassed the security chip in the thick black jacket of our car key, designed so that our keys, and only our keys, could send the unique code needed to activate the car's ignition? We still had all our keys in our possession."

The mystery remains unsolved, so Brad is soliciting theories from armchair-detectives who think they can explain this high-tech hybrid heist.
