Mobile Phone: Third Screen After TV and Computer

There is no doubt that mobile phones are now ruling the whole world as these gizmos have become third screen after TV and computer. Now, mobile phone can be used for every purpose like listening music, video recording, internet etc. And everyday, mobile manufacturers are making new announcements about their latest edition of cell phone.

Recently, Nokia has announced new hardware and software features at the Symbian Smart-phone Show such as an intuitive S60 touch screen user interface, finger motion based sensor technology, vibration based tactile force feedback and Flash video integration. After iPhone/iPod Touch for Mac OSX Mobile from Apple and TouchFLO for Windows Mobile from HTC comes a new sensor and touch screen technology for the S60 platform from Nokia, the S60 Touch. S60 touch user interface comes with support for tactile feedback, which means that there is a physical pulse and feedback when the user taps on the screen.

In another latest tiding, Google just officially announced the Open Handset Alliance to create an open platform (to be called Android) for a Linux phone that can run mobile Google apps and others. The 34 partners include T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, NTT Docomo, China Mobile, Telefonica, Telecom Italia, Motorola, Samsung, HTC, Qualcomm, Intel, and Google itself. No mention of Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone, or Nokia. Apparently the phone is one of roughly five prototypes that Google had built to demonstrate the Open Handset Alliance software to potential members, and HTC’s Peter Chou says in the two years it’s been working on OHA designs, “this is the best one we have seen.”

The device itself, which measures about 3 x 5-inches, sports a touch-screen, navigational controls at the base, and a full swivel out keyboard. When swiveled the screen goes from portrait to landscape mode, but unfortunately that’s the limit of info on the actual hardware. The software apparently has “time-sensitive” touch controls that expand your area control the longer you touch. Icons for your most important apps — which are apparently email, text documents, and YouTube — are lined up across the top of the screen. There’s also some fancy stuff under the hood to keep an ongoing browser session open to speed launch times, and the browser downloads large files in stages to speed delivery. HTC is considering a commercial version of the phone, which we could be seeing as soon as the second half of 2008.

Another much awaited cell phone Glofiish X600 Pocket PC phone has been made official by E-ten. Glofiish X600 will target the budget onscious crowd, running on Windows Mobile 6.0 while holding the distinction of being the smallest handset from E-ten to date. Features on the X600 include GPS navigation, GPRS and WiFi connectivity, all packed into a body that measures a pocket-friendly 107mm × 58mm × 14.7mm while weighing a mere 136 grams. No word on pricing and availability of the Glofiish X600 though.

And it is expected that sale of such cheap mobile phones with powerful capabilities will grow in near future.

How to Youtube Your Mobile Video?

It has become a trend to share mobile videos and images on the Internet. In fact, it is more enjoyable, when others take a look of your pictures and videos. Even you may share your videos on popular site such as YouTube. You may need some techniques to post videos on YouTube.

Many sites allow you to post your creation on internet without any charges. The procedures to share images and videos are totally different. Generally, a small video recording may be of big file size. However, the size of the video clip depends on the device used for recording. For example, if a phone records a one-minute video clip, the file size may be around 500 KB. The video recording software compresses the image and changes the resolution of video at 176 x 144 pixel resolution in 3GP format, which is suitable to watch videos in mobile phone.

However, if you record the same footage with a Digital camera, the file size may be around 10 MB, as the video recording software in digital camera do not compress the image as in mobile phone and the files are saved in AVI format.

Points to Remember:

Many video-sharing sites allow users to upload videos only with the help of Internet Browser. YouTube does not allow users to upload their videos via e-mail. Generally, digital photos are of JPEG format however, videos come in many different formats.

A video recorded from mobile phone is generally of 3GP format. YouTube only allow users to upload videos of WMV, AVI, MPEG and MOV formats. Videos recorded from mobile phones are generally of 3GP format. To upload videos on YouTube, you may have to convert your video using video converting software that you may obtain from the Internet.

Initially, YouTube was not able to convert videos by itself, but the new version of YouTube converts all the popular video formats by itself. This will give you the freedom from video conversion procedures. Ensure that the video you are recording is saved in your phone’s memory card. Copy the saved video clip from your phones memory card to your computer’s hard disk. If your mobile phone does not have any extendable memory card, then you may copy videos with the help of data cable. You may edit your video with editing software programs such as Windows Moviemaker to adjust the brightness and contrast of your video.

YouTube requires registration to upload videos. Register yourself by providing your e-mail address. After registration, you will have an account, wherein you will be able to upload and manage your videos.

Final Considerations:

Generally, YouTube recommends video of 320 x 240 resolution encoded in MPEG4 format and MP3 audio. This type of video is suitable for best viewing. Take a look of your video on YouTube to check whether it plays smoothly or not.

It is a good idea to resize the video by clicking the small square box on the lower right hand corner of your video. Have reviews of your friends about the picture quality of your video. Relax and have patience until other viewers post their comments on your video.

How Can You Play Flash Video File In A Windows Mobile Device Pda?

I was able to convert a flash video file downloaded from the internet into a wmv file, but the size of the wmv file to be played in the mobile device was more than half the size of the flash video file. Any solution? Thanks very much.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1: A transition for mobile applications

Adobe Systems Incorp, California based company has announced a new Flash player for Smartphones, Macs and other mobile internet devices, called Flash Player 10.1. The new version will be available by the first half of the next year and it is the first time that users will get the identical version of Flash on mobile and PC systems. Also, the company provides facility to download Flash directly on the phone rather than bundling with the operating system.

Compatibility of new Flash Player

Flash Player 10.1 will run Adobe AIR applications directly on Smartphones. However, the application would not be available on every Smartphone operating system. The list of operating system includes Symbian Series 60, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm WebOS and others will shortly join the list. According to the company, a Beta version for WinMo 6.5 and Palm WebOS will be available by 2009 end, while for Android and Symbian operating system would arrive early in 2010.

The present version of Adobe flash player (Flash Player 10) was launched back in 2008 and now about 40% of new handsets have the basic Flash Lite technology. Further, users can expect full Flash player in all upcoming Smartphones from next year. The company has been also working with RIM for future availability of its Flash Player on Blackberry Smartphones.

Flash Player 10.1: Boon for Smartphone users

The new Adobe Flash technology will offer a key experience on new Windows based mobile phones and other Smartphones. It will enable Smartphone users to enjoy rich Flash based games, streaming videos and other interactive Web content on the move. The company also said that the new flash player will offer uncompromised Web browsing applications, content and high definition videos on future Smartphones without consuming much mobile’s battery.  

Flash Player 10.1 will also help consumers to use mobile-specific features such as multi-touch, gestures and the accelerometer. The new platform will be supported by various mobile vendors.  Nokia has already shipped more than 400 million phones with existing Flash technology and will support the new Flash technology in mobiles and other internet devices, the company said.

Besides 50 other companies, Google may also join the Adobe’s Open Screen project announced earlier this year to work on Android Flash player, which indicates collaboration for providing a Flash player and AIR to Android operating system. Further, Adobe is also working to optimize the technology targeting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, Nvidia’s Tegra and other Ion chips.

The company also added that its software engineers have increased the Flash’s operating performance by 87% and reduced memory consumption by 55 percent in Flash Player 10.1.

The new Flash Player 10.1 will also feature a new initiative, called Zeri to take benefits of media delivery with HTTP streaming that integrates content protection powered by Adobe Flash Access 2.0. The new feature will be an open format based on industry standards.
 
Flash on Phones: A Threat?

Earlier, Apple Inc, the famous iPhone maker has publicly condemned Adobe’s Flash technology, calling the technology is much slower and inefficient for mobile devices. Now, Apple’s iPhone operating system is the only major platform that is not supported by Flash 10.1. However, Adobe has said that its Adobe Flash content is present on more than 85 percent of the top 100 websites and about 75 percent of all web-based videos use Flash.
