AMD today showed us how to do, presented a Quad Core processor with DirectX 11 GPU and memory controller integrated on the same chip (no tricks type Intel), made with 32nm technology. However AMD promises that the new chip called the AMD Fusion (code name "Llano") will have a maximum energy consumption under 25W, thanks to 32nm and a new type of system power management.

Correct Nokia E72

Appearance


Phone box is of medium size. It includes all the accessories it needs a regular user. I received a handsfree headset with 3.5 mm audio jack and control keys on wireless, charger, data cable microUSB a genuine leather, a leather wrist strap and user manual. We found in a box and a 4 GB microSD card, not sure though that all the stores decide to include in this enhancement package. I'm pleasantly surprised piece of cloth which serves to clean the phone.

In size, the phone falls into the normal range for the way he has. It is more elusive than E71, that is heavier and wider than a gram of a mm. Thus, a length of 114 mm, a width of 58 mm and the same thickness of 10 mm. His weight is 128 grams. Weight contributes to the metal lid of the battery. Although it may seem a little flat, sitting pretty well in pants pocket. Saves very low thickness.

Front hosting 2.36 inch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, along with the main control keys, the D-pad directioanle and optical. May still place top speaker, secondary camera for video calls and ambient light sensor.

Nokia E72 - view stangaIn the left is the microUSB port and microSD memory card slot. Both have protective cover to prevent dust penetration.

Nokia E72 - view dreaptaIn right phone has three buttons. Two of them are dedicated volume control, and the third is used for voice commands. Even if they are cramped, is easy to handle.

At the top phone jack audio is 3.5 mm with the power off. Start / stop can be used both for changing profiles, and to lock the phone.

At the bottom of the phone is plug and house of clamping load of the hand strap.

Nokia E72 - view spateIn rear, E72 has a stainless steel cover with some small ditches, which are designed to prevent fingerprints. It is a useful innovation, many phones have problems with fingerprints on stainless steel case. Here is the 5 megapixel camera, LED flash, self portrait mirror and speaker. Camera lenses are protected against scratches. The battery is famous for 1500 mAh Li-Pol, which is the happy users of E71 with high autonomy. Nokia says that the E72 would have to provide up to 12 hours talk time and 576 hours of standby time. I used the phone mostly, and I mean loaded in four days.

All materials are of good quality casing, the phone is very solid. Obviously there is not squeaky and play between components.


Use


Nokia E72 uses the Symbian OS S60 3rd Edition. This is version 9.3 that is newer than the one on E71. User Interface for Symbian is the usual. The menus are well structured and intuitive. The processor is strong, running at 600 MHz. Is also sufficient RAM, 128 MB. Interface and applications are moving very well, without downtime.

Standby screen shows you plenty of information. You can see time, date, battery charge level, signal strength. You can see and if you have messages or missed calls. You can add shortcuts to applications or websites.

E72's TFT screen is very large, is the same used by E71 and E63. It has 2.36 inch diagonal, and offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Contrast and colors are very good and is excellent readability even in bright light.

We need to talk about the keyboard, because it presents several enhancements over the E71. Button space was reduced, which made room for two more buttons. One of them enables Bluetooth on and off site with a single touch. All keys are gentle and easy to use. You will quickly get used to their location, even if you have never used a QWERTY keyboard. I think the greatest achievement is butonul optical navigation is much faster than some directional keys.


Basic functions


Nokia E72 offers a strong and sound quality during calls. Signal reception is very good, so you will do in areas where coverage is excellent.

As with any Symbian phone, address book can store as many contacts you want. You can assign each contact them several fields of information such as phone numbers, fax number, landline phone, birth date, address, email and more. Search for a contact is made by name or surname, and the display is done gradually, as they find matches what you typed. You can assign each contact and a picture and a ringtone.

Messaging functions are very important for someone to buy E72. The phone knows how to work with SMS, MMS and email. QWERTY keyboard help fast text writing. Email client is very successful. Does it automatically make the account settings if you know a provider such as Yahoo, Gmail, Windows Live Mail or Ovi. Support and Exchange servers, not to install additional applications. You can configure it manually, based on POP3 / IMAP and SMTP.

Like all new business phones from Nokia, E71 has the Mode Switcher. This function allows you to create two different profiles for your phone, one for work, another for free time. You can alter between them with a single button. Each profile can have their own shortcuts, etc. ringtones.

One other interesting feature is the remote locking. If your phone is stolen, you can send an SMS with a code and it locks. If someone tries to unlock it and not guess the code in three attempts, the phone deletes all data. It is useful for mobile rather lost. In case of theft, are convinced that the thief change your SIM immediately, so you can no longer send SMS blocking.


Multimedia


Phone's memory storage is 250 MB. 4 GB microSD card was very good but to store pictures, music and movies.

Gallery of images is similar to that of the N Series Nokia phones and it looks great. Progress and zoom pictures are fast. Transition effects between pictures are successful.

Music player is well-formed, with a feature-rich interface. Supports most file formats, and playlists. Sorting songs can be done by artist, album, genre, composer. You can even search a song by its name or the artist. Equalizer has eight lanes and five preset modes. Jack 3.5 mm audio lets you connect your headphones if you're not happy with the standard. The audio quality is good, the phone can successfully replace an MP3 player in class.

Video player is the same as Real Player, which has not come up with updates for many years. Supports 3GP and MP4 files, but not DivX and Xvid codecs. As the screen is positioned horizontally, player works only in landscape mode. The screen is enough for short clips, but I guess not resist looking at a whole movie.

FM radio is stereo and has RDS. The application can automatically scan and save up to 50 items in the area where you are. Play radio and speaker phone, but must keep the headphones connected, that are designed antenna.

The camera has 5 megepixeli, autofocus and LED flash. Maximum resolution photo is 2592 x 1944 pixels. Interface offers numerous settings. Flash can be set to one of the automatic modes, red eye reduction and off. The office of geotagging missing, although E72 has GPS. Image quality is excellent, the Board of E72 is among the most beautiful photos of the 5 megapixel camera phones. Contrast, color and brightness are very good. The level of detail is very good, and image noise is unnoticeable. Video recording is at VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels), but only 15 fps.


Connectivity


Nokia E72 is a good phone for those who want to always stay connected to the Internet. You have both WiFi, and HSPA with 10.2 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload.

Web browser is very good, as we are already accustomed to Symbian. Supports Flash and load the page quickly. Although the screen is not big help to the horizontal position.

To connect to computer, you can use both a microUSB cable, and Bluetooth link. Nokia PC Suite lets you transfer photos, music, movies between phone and computer, and to make backups or install applications.


Applications

RCS & RDS Air Bites bought a year and a half to remove the company from selling

The acquisition of Air Bites is the second significant transaction, which became public after last July operator controlled by Zoltan Teszari bought for around five million euros 30,000 customers in New Com Telecommunications, a leading alternative providers of telecommunications.

Story originally appeared on www.audculori.com, blog of a former employee of Romscot Consult the company for maintenance of networks Air Bites, and later on subiectiv.ro, blog owned by journalist Alex Mihaileanu.



Subscribers Air Bites will receive all five services provided by RCS & RDS: cable television, fixed and mobile telephony, internet and mobile internet.

"Air Bites will know that all contractual rights and obligations are transferred to the company RCS & RDS. The monthly fee will be paid by RCS & RDS to any of the centers Air Bites or any of the points of this RCS & RDS. Also, you invite that until 28.02.2010 to choose one of the packages Digi or services Digi separate "states the website Air Bites, the company that have customers in Bucharest, Iasi, Bacau and several other smaller towns in the area East of Romania.

The company is controlled by the Swiss group Swisscom Central & Eastern Europe, which owns 99.9994% of shares, and Air Bites Slovakia, with 0.0006 stake in the operator, according to data from the Trade Register. Swisscom provides telecommunications services mainly in Switzerland and Italy.

The transaction was concluded on January 6, and speculation of an acquisition of RCS & RDS or Vodafone exit approximately one year, as stated for Wall-Street Radu Petre, a former employee of Romscot.

Moreover, and Dinu Malacopol, general manager of Digital Cable Systems (DCS), one of the leading players in alternative telecom, says Air Bites was on sale for a year and a half and had no buyers, leading to a drop in the value of the company.

The blog of former employee Romscot Consult, Air Bites had about 45,000 subscribers, the deal is 120 euros per customer. Young said that this amount was the one circulated by the company.

Thus, RCS & RDS would be paid for taking subscribers operator around 5.4 million euros, an amount considered high by experts consulted by the Wall-Street.

"It is a sum exaggerated. I do not think the figure of 120 euros can be generalized to all types of clients they have Air Bites that had service analog cable, Internet and telephony. I think it is a deal structured in that part of the money offered now and the rest over a year. A price truthfully I think it would be somewhere at 100 euros with VAT per subscriber, "commented Dinu Malacopol.

Also, since the summer, from the sale of 30,000 customers by RCS & RDS, Mircea Lucăcel, general manager of New Com Telecommunications, said the Wall-Street as prices per subscriber "are between 30 and 120 euros, but will not find buyers over 80 euros just very hard and networks must be improved and approved ".

Moreover, the amount of 5.4 million euros may seem a very large in the context that in 2008, Air Bites had losses of 8.4 million euros in business for 2.9 million euros, according to Ministry of Finance. The company had in 2008 approximately 80 employees.

Although in 2008 had lost 22.9 million euros and debts of 613.3 million euros, the business of 386.7 million euros, the acquisition of RCS & RDS show aggression operator in fighting close to a lead with UPC, but especially with Romtelecom.

Although RCS & RDS has practiced some of the best prices on the market are and clients of Air Bites are not satisfied with the transaction, while others are indifferent.

"At least in Iasi, networks of neighborhood were bought and divided in two: RDS and AirBites. Now with this acquisition we run only RDS. It sucks that disappears competition. UPC's just in certain areas ... "Comments the user Western Forum Softpedia.

"I can not worry about rising rates in RDS due to the decrease competition. That to happen would be to change acceptance owner of Sustainable Business. And what rates have netul phone seems to change soon. Why sell less and expensive when you can sell more and cheaper? That there are some companies in May opportunistic with other understanding of the market that we are interested in us. I one I got tired of players opportunists. So I got customer RDS. If for some reason just would increase rates probably will be slight modifications in addition, 1-2 lei, nothing asked for my pocket, "said Kineceler on the same site.

Is China Sweating Over Google's Threat?

Following a hack attempt on Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) originating in China, the Web search powerhouse stood up to the country's government and declared it would no longer cooperate with its censorship laws. In fact, it may stop doing business in China altogether.

Doing that would cost Google hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue per year, as well as any future growth opportunities there. However, what effect would rejection from one of the largest Web companies in the world have on China? Would Google's alienation over the Chinese government's censorship policies leave the country looking isolated, or is China simply too bright an economic star to be dragged down by one company's disfavor?
Few, if any, of the multitudes of foreign companies doing business in China will care if Google leaves, Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR), told TechNewsWorld. The NCUSCR is an American organization, and Orlins is an expert on relations between the two countries.
"The effect on the non-media Internet world is very minor," Orlins said. "A lot of major U.S. companies, including Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) and GM, are now selling to the China market, and now sales  in China have seen double-digit increases, while sales outside of China have decreased," he pointed out. "So selling to China is very profitable, and Google's pullout won't cause companies to rethink doing business there."
Internet and media companies, on the other hand, have found it difficult to penetrate the China market. "Time-Warner, Google, Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO) -- none of them have made significant amounts of money there," Orlins said. "Is this going to cause them to take a stand? I don't think so, but when they review their plans annually, it's going to make them do a rethink."
Perhaps the only effect on China would be to reduce innovation in the Internet arena, Orlins said. "Google's presence forced Baidu to innovate, and Google's withdrawal will give Baidu more than 90 percent of the market in China," he explained. "That will lead to less innovation, and that's bad for Chinese users of the Internet." Baidu, which has the lion's share of China's search market, is a Chinese company.

Win, Lose or Place?

"Google will lose far more than China will," pointed out Cheng Li, a China expert at the Brookings Institution, a non-profit public policy organization based in Washington. "The Chinese public supports the government, and Google will lose the biggest and most important market in the world," he told TechNewsWorld.
On the other hand, Beijing needs to move cautiously, Li warned. "Media censorship is unpopular everywhere, including China," he said. "The backlash against the Chinese government could be overwhelming."
That, backlash, however, will be a while coming. "My sense is that this backlash will not take place now, with only this incident as a trigger," Li explained.
"China doesn't need Google as much as Google needs China," Warren Cowan, CEO at Greenlight, a U.K.-based search marketing agency, told TechNewsWorld. "China's got the sophistication, the strength and the will to do whatever it wants."
Although Google's pullout would likely benefit Baidu, the Chinese Internet company needs to work to get the extra business. "What Baidu has to do is make it easy for foreign advertisers to advertise with them," Cowan pointed out. "Foreign companies might be uncomfortable in dealing with Baidu now because it's an unknown factor."

The Back Story

Google warned that it might pull out of China following a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack" in mid-December on its corporate infrastructure originating from that country, David Drummond, the company's chief legal officer, said in a post on Google's official blog. The attack resulted in the theft of Google's intellectual property, and 20 other large companies were also targeted, Drummond claimed.
Google's investigation also showed the attackers tried to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists, although only two such accounts appear to have been accessed. Google also discovered that third parties have "routinely" accessed the accounts of "dozens" of Gmail users in the United States, China and Europe who advocate human rights in China, Drummond said. These accounts were most likely accessed through phishing scams or malware placed on the users' computers.
However, it's possible these Gmail hacks may not be exactly what they're made out to appear. For one thing, phishing scams and placing of malware on victims' computers through various means are methods employed not only by government agents, but also by common cybercriminals looking to commit fraud for profit .
Also, cybercriminals tend to set up servers overseas because that makes detecting them more difficult. "I would absolutely count on it being the case that the attackers aren't Chinese hackers but other people using Chinese IP sites," said David Perry, global director of education at Trend Micro (Nasdaq: TMIC).
"Some years ago there was a major case called "The Italian Job," where hackers broke into an ISP in Italy and infected 10,000 Web sites, including Mother Teresa's official site," Perry told TechNewsWorld. "The infected sites would refer you to China, then San Francisco, then Brazil, but the malware authors were in Russia. In this day and age, it really doesn't matter where the Web site is hosted, because the attackers could be anywhere."

Between 2000 and 2009 Cisco has bought 48 companies who request financing, followed by IBM with 35, Microsoft 30, CME-25 and Oracle 23.
Data were drawn up by Dow Jones VentureSource and published in the newspaper earlier this week economic Wall Street Journal.
Although the numbers are impressive, they do not reflect the purchasing power of these companies over the last decade because they include companies need financing, especially start-ups. Cisco closed transactions worth several billion U.S. dollars, including WebEx acquisition, valued at 3.2 billion U.S. dollars and that of Scientific-Atlanta for 6.9 billion U.S. dollars, which was not included in the Dow Jones.
According to Dow Jones, Cisco's largest acquisition of a company with financing needs for the past 10 years was a transaction worth 830 million U.S. dollars: acquisition of IronPort Systems, a company secure mail.
The highest price paid by Microsoft for a startup was 800 million U.S. dollars for Tellme Networks in 2007, an Internet phone service provider.

The transactions include the acquisition of YouTube by Google for 1.65 billion U.S. dollars, the acquisition of MySQL by Sun for one billion U.S. dollars and that of LeftHand Networks by HP for 360 million U.S. dollars.
Also, Sun has agreed to be bought by Oracle for more than 7 billion U.S. dollars, but the transaction was not contained in the statistics because of problems with regulators in Europe. Also, Oracle was the company that made acquisitions in 2009 most (5), followed by EMC with four such acquisitions.
2009 was a fairly slow procurement of IT, but experts believe that market activity in mergers and acquisitions will increase in 2010.
