Has China Figured Out How To Do That
Venture Capital Thing?
04/11/2005 05:58 AMBack during the boom years it seemed like every place on earth wanted
to claim that they were the next Silicon Valley -- but about all the
did was announce that they were going to do that, and come up with
some lame nickname starting with Silicon: Silicon Farm, Glen, Beach,
Alley, Mountain, Cove, etc. Beyond the fact that silicon usually had
little to do with what few tech companies in these places were working
on, most of these places lacked the real infrastructure that made
Silicon Valley tick. A big part of that is the venture capital
industry here, which isn't so easy to replicate -- especially in
places where the concept of risk capital (and, actually, plain old
risk itself) isn't quite the same as it is here. Love 'em or hate 'em
(or, as is so often the case, both), a flourishing venture capital
market has helped to fund a ton of high growth businesses. However,
there really aren't many reasons why other areas can't figure it out
eventually. China is taking a step in the right direction by
changing the laws for venture capitalists in that country,
giving those firms the ability to break away from a government that
has held them back. This isn't to say that the Chinese VC industry
will jump to the forefront, but it is a step forward in a country
where there's an awful lot of innovating going on -- often with VC
money from back here in Silicon Valley.

Motorola's V551
Motorola's V551
03/14/2005 04:23 PMThe V551 is a Quad band clam style flip phone released last fall by
Motorola.
Outstanding features of the V551 include a VGA camera with video
recording capabilities, one-touch web and camera access, EDGE
high-speed transfer rates, Bluetooth wireless technology, and a crisp,
clear, bright, 65k TFT colour (176 x 220 pixels) internal display.
The phone has a monochrome 2-line external display that displays time,
call information, battery, and signal strength and features a blue
backlight. A VGA camera lens and self portrait mirror sit above the
display allowing the user to capture photos. The camera does not have
a flash though it has 4x digital zoom and dedicated one touch camera
key for one touch video capture and playback. The camera allows for
10 second video clips and the phone features 5 MB of user memory. Up
to 1000 entries are able to be stored in the phone plus up to an
additional 250 on SIM card.
The V551 is 3.5" x 1.87" x 0.83" (49mm x 89mm x 24.6mm) and weighs 4.4
oz (114g) and contains a standard Lithium-Ion 780 mAh battery that
gives the phone a standby time of up to 235 hours and talk time of up
to 425 minutes.
The phone also features MP3 & polyphonic ringtones, a 22 Khz
polyphonic speaker, picture phonebook, voice-activated dialing,
built-in hands-free speaker phone, MMS, SMS, predictive text and SMTP,
POP3, IMAP4 email client, and other features including a calculator,
currency converter, date and clock, datebook with reminder alerts, an
alarm clock and voice record.
The buttons are large and easy to press making the phone a breeze to
use when text messaging or dialing long numbers. The menu is easy to
navigate and doesn't take long to master the functions. The phone has
a good selection of cool animated screensavers, wallpapers and
ringtones that make the it fun to use and easily customised. A
disadvantage to this phone is that it flips open quite easily. Spymac
discovered this as the phone opened itself a couple of times while
stashed inside a bag when not in use.
Along with the V551, Spymac tested out Motorola's Bluetooth Headset.
Using the headset is simple and straightforward and can be done by
charging the headset and then pairing it with the phone. The pairing
process was straightforward and took less than a minute. The sound
quality of this headset was about average. The headset heavily picked
up background noise, making it hard for the person on the other line
to hear. It was also quite bulky and uncomfortable, but many users
would be willing to put up with some of these negative qualities to
have a wireless headset.
The V551's clean and stylish design, MP3 ringtones, and VGA camera set
this phone apart from many others and makes it appealing to the young
market, while many of the other features like Bluetooth, and
high-speed EDGE data transfer, and Quad band GSM frequency range
appeal to professionals and business consumers. These features, along
with the mass appeal, make the V551 one of the top phones in this
price range on the market.
Sample picture
Pros:
Excellent bright, sharp screen
Bluetooth
Quad band
Good battery life
Built-in IM client
Cons:
No external photo caller ID
Slightly heavy
