Window Phone 7 To Set A New Era In Smartphones - The Best Phone Operating System

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive officer has unveiled a new mobile phone operating system on New York press event Monday. This is considered as a comeback move by Microsoft into the worldwide smart phone market which has been dominated by iPhone and Blackberry and as a result the window phone 7 has joined RIM, Google and Android, the three major mobile operating systems in the U.S.
Based on the features of Window phone 7, the new phone operating system is to set a new era in smartphones. The new platform is organized into eight sections:
1. People (your contacts);
2. Search; WP7 has a dedicated search button to help people find what they need, whether in contacts, in Marketplace, in e-mail or on the Web. From the Start screen, the Search button delivers Bing for mobile, delivering Web results, local information, maps, directions and more.
3. Pictures (including video and any uploaded Facebook or Windows Live snapshots),
4. Games (featuring your Xbox Live avatar and achievements); It also offers Xbox LIVE with a blockbuster lineup of game titles from award-winning publishers.
5. Music and video (with access to your Zune Social card); Windows Phone 7 has a Microsoft's Zune music player platform offering the Zune music experience where one can play their music collection, synced wirelessly from their PC, or stream or download new tunes from Windows Marketplace.
6. Marketplace (for downloading new apps)
7. Social space; integrated with popular social networks like Facebook
8. Office.
Microsoft is planning to add new features like Netflix, Twitter, Slacker, OpenTable, eBay, IMDB and Flixster at the launch or shortly after the launch of Window Phone 7 in November.In general, Windows Phone 7 has been uniquely designed to delivers a clean, intuitive, friendly (and heavily Zune-based) touch UI with a grid of "live" tiles (app selector) for your latest messages, your most-used contacts, the Web and your favorite apps.
Unlike the common smartphones like iPhone and Android with requires a user to tap on an application to see new information, Microsoft phone 7 has been designed to tell the user at a glance about important new information, such as e-mail and Facebook status update setting a new era in networking.
According to Steve Ballmer, the Window phone 7 will be offered by 60 mobile operators in over 30 countries located in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Microsoft is planning to release over 10 brands with Window phone 7 in holidays (November) in collaboration with the top mobile operators. Among these, HTC Surround, Samsung Focus, LG Quantum, HTC HD7, Dell Venue Pro, HTC 7 Surround, LG Optimus 7, Samsung OMNIA 7, HTC 7 Trophy, LG Optimus 7Q will produced by AT&T, T-Mobile, TELUS, America Movil, O2, Orange, SFR, Movistar, Deutsche Telekom AG, Vodafone, SingTel and Telstra.
In addition to these features, WP7 powered phones will come with a 1GHz Snapdragon handset with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 5-megapixel camera like for Samsung Focus, 16GB of on-board storage and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor for HTC Surround, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, 16GB of internal storage and DLNA support for sharing media with local, DLNA-compatible PCs, HDTVs for LG Quantum and a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with a dual-LED flash and HD video recording for HTC HD7.

Solutions to Common Surround Sound System Problems

Surround sound is an awesome technology for watching movies. Bullet sounds and special effects in general are just much more enjoyable when they are coming from different directions. These systems are relatively straight forward to set up in theory but there are always special issues to overcome. This article will discuss a few common ones and how to address them.

The first issue is physical. How do you get the wires to the rear speakers in a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 system? In homes where wires were not installed during construction you can be left thinking that there is just no place to run them without crossing walkways or doing major construction to run them in the walls or ceiling. One option is to install special wire under the carpet that is only an eighth of an inch in diameter. Of course, you will need to pull up your carpet and then reset it but this is much easier than ripping drywall. And perhaps it is the perfect excuse to get new carpet for your media room!

Another wiring issue is, well, other wires. Be sure to keep your speaker wires away from electrical wires as these can cause interference and sound quality degradation.

Next, speaker placement. People will sometimes complain that the sound is "off". Often this is a matter of speaker placement. Be sure that your front right and left channel speakers are equidistance from the screen center and placed at a 45 degree angle from the listeners ears. If your space allows it, position the right and left channel speakers twelve feet from each other.

Additionally, when looking for your first system or contemplating a new, upgraded system you may run across wireless surround speakers. Steer clear! The sound quality on these speakers is poor as compared to their wired brethren. Plus, if you live in a populated area the frequency of your speakers might overlap with nearby cell phones and other wireless devices. That is a certain recipe to drive you nuts! Wireless is a cool technology but avoid it with surround systems.

Hopefully, these quick tips and insights will help you avoid frustration and anxiety when installing your system.

Many websites provide additional information on the topic of speakers. One such site worth visiting is http://www.midwestspeaker.com/.

Speaker Box Design and DIY Speakers, Make a Better Speaker System for Less

Coming up with your own speaker box design is not easy. I'll give you that. Most people don't have the understanding of how the loud speaker works to begin a design in the first place. It has nothing to do with a persons level of intelligence. I think most people just don't care or don't think that it can be done easily.

To a certain extent this is true; speaker design is not easy. But it is not impossible for the average home theater guy/gal to do either; certainly not impossible.

The basic parts of any cone type speaker are the same, and there are not very many parts either. You have the box, the speaker drivers -or cones, some acoustic stuffing, internal cables, binding posts, paint or veneer, speaker crossover components, and maybe some cones to sit them on. That's about it.

But the art is in how these items are put together, and how they are balanced that makes or breaks a design.

The Crossover:

Arguably the most difficult part of the speaker design is the crossover. Why? It handles the voltage that enters the speaker through the cable and it splits the signal so that the correct information only enters each individual speaker driver. If you send the wrong signal to a driver you can blow speaker drivers in a millisecond. And most high quality speaker drivers are not cheap.

But in the last few years some different types of crossover have begun to gain popularity. They are active and digital crossovers. Digital crossovers differ because they take a signal from your CD, PC, or DVD player and split the signal all while in the digital domain. The advantages of making the crossover in this way are too many to list here. I'll devote another article to that later. But these digital filters make it possible for even a novice hobbyist to experiment with different slopes and speaker drivers.

The best part of this; is that this digital technology is already available and working now. These digital programs can be installed into a computer or HTPC and used in the home theater system.

And these filters make speaker box design a project that many more enthusiasts can take on with success. Time and phase coherence can also be achieved with digital delays from within the crossover software program. Driver correction and room correction are also functions easily achieved within some of these programs.

Keep in mind you will need a channel of amplification, pre-amplification, and an output channel from the sound-card for each driver used (using a digital or active crossover).

The Speaker Box:

The other elements of speaker design are important too. Drivers should be placed as near to one another as possible. (the mid-range and tweeters) Bass driver positioning is not quite as important as bass waves below 100Hz are mostly omnidirectional.

Cabinet quality is extremely important to the amount of energy the cabinet will release back into the room.

In a perfect situation the cabinet would be completely inert. Meaning; the speaker cabinet would not resonate or make any sympathetic vibration from the back-wave of the speaker cones. The only sound would be the energy from the speaker driver itself.

In the real world achieving this level of resistance to resonance is very difficult. The amount of materials and internal bracing would be considered extreme by most retail speaker builders. But this is the beauty of DIY speaker box design. You can make the cabinet as heavy and inert as your budget allows.

Final Point:

When you build your own speakers you will save a ton of money over retail high end speaker systems. It's simple really, the amount of labor and markup involved in building speakers is extremely high. And when you do it yourself it's extremely rewarding.

I wouldn't have it any other way!

How A Video Door Intercom System Can Make Your Home Safe

Having the ease of seeing who is at the entrance to your home with a video door intercom is great feeling of knowing who or what is arriving at your front door, whether it your mum, your best friend, a delivery, or someone you don't wish to speak to immediately and might need a few seconds to gather your thoughts.

Front door intercoms are also a great way to catch thieves if they have struck before or if they are trying to scope out your home, by utilizing an image memory function inside the internal monitor that records a picture of the last person to stand on front of the camera.

Having this very handy feature is also an excellent way to get minor questions answered, for example, if someone tried calling over to see you on a certain day, or if someone said they came over at certain time.

Most home video intercom systems are fairly cost affective, creating some extra spice and features around the house, while adding value to your home.

If you feel you need an extra internal monitor, e.g. one upstairs and one downstairs, this is possible and has a wonderful effect with communication as you talk between the two monitors.

With most door intercom systems you can open you gate latch with an open function on the internal monitors for ease of use, once you know who is at the gate to let through, which is another useful safety benefit to have if you a have a gate entry.

Having an intercom facility to two of your entry points, being a back door and front door can also be utilized for extra security, and generally most intercoms have 2 different ring tones, so you can easily know if someone is either at the back or front doors.

Most intercom systems are low voltage, and use a power plug supply to power up the system, incorporating low voltage cabling so can be easily installed.

When installing a video door intercom, you will need to find a qualified installer, for long lasting operation and security.

Home Cinema - Only For The Super Rich Or Can Anyone Have Their Own Home Cinema System?

Home Cinema. It's a term that 10 years ago was reserved for the super rich but nowadays it's a household phrase so what has changed?

The main factor is naturally cost. Back in the late 90's a home cinema system would cost you about a years wages; and that was if you were on a good wage! But like most things in life, technology has moved on which always has two distinct effects. Firstly it allows newer and better systems to be designed, installed and created which is great for the higher end market but secondly it means that systems that were top of the range when they came out can now be bought for rock bottom dollar. This ultimately means that anyone, just like you or I can have our very own home cinema without breaking the bank to do so; we might have to raid our piggy bank but not the one on the high street.

Home Cinema-Want or Need?

This therefore begs the question 'Is a Home Cinema a Want or a Need?' Well, the obvious answer is that it's just a want because no-one 'Needs' a home cinema right? Do you know, I'm not sure if I agree and I'll tell you why. Pretty much everyone has a TV in their house somewhere. Now I know most people have more than one but almost everyone out there has at least one. Now about 10-20 years ago you could well argue that people don't 'Need' TV sets but I would suggest that in today's world people do actually 'Need' TV because it is our medium into the outside world. It is a way of finding out what is going on from the comfort of our own home and this is powerful however you look at it.

Now, we also know that TV prices are coming down and down and at the same time screen sizes are going up and up. This means that everyone is getting larger and larger TVs in their homes. Now we've just established that TVs can be considered a 'Need' and not a 'Want' so therefore I propose that a home cinema could also be considered a 'Need' because when it comes down to it, it's just a big TV right?

Poor Argument?

Now all of you that have read this far and are calling me an idiot because I'm saying that people 'Need' a home cinema system rather than 'Want' one then thank you. You are absolutely right and I'm not going to argue with you. You see, the thing about the world that we live in is that people will try and tell you what works in their best interest and the more people they can convince that this is true, generally the more money they will make.

Now the point I want to make is that my website on home cinema systems is all about information and education and it's purpose is not to send you in one direction or another. It's merely there to service you and allow you to make the best decision based on your requirements.

So in answer to the original question 'Is home cinema only for the super rich?' absolutely not. And in answer to the second question 'Do we Need or Want a home cinema system?' Well, this one I leave up to you. You see, the answer is different for every person out there. I personally 'Need' a home cinema because that is my business and if I don't practice what I preach then it completely undermines my authority. But do YOU need a home cinema? Well, you tell me?

I look forward to you visiting my site at http://HomeCinemaSystem.co/Welcome/ and giving me your opinion on the many varied articles and posts I have there. I'm interested in your opinion so come and join the conversation.
