Hanwha unleashes HDMI / USB adapter…!!
Apr 1st
Hanwha introduces HDMI / USB adapter for iPad, iPhone 4, and fourth-gen iPod touch. Feel the desire to watch your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch videos on the big screen, but looking for something with a little more girth than Apple’s HDMI solution…?
- Hanwha adapter (with explanation)
Hanwha’s latest dongle might do the job. Its a place of the original adapter’s dock connector port is a USB 2.0 socket - compatible with cameras supporting mass storage connection - alongside the 720p-friendly HDMI port, but you’ll have to use the switch to toggle between the two modes. And that little mini-USB port on the far right…? Well, it’s there to provide some juice to reduce battery drain, but probably not enough to charge up your iDevice.
It is significantly more expensive, but also provides a combination of HDMI and Camera Adapter.It will be interesting to learn whether the HDMI and USB converter will let users plug in USB devices like flash drives or 3G modems. These will certainly extend the usefulness of your iPad or iPhone.

8 Things to know : Samsung Galaxy Tab

Know 8 things before buying Samsung Galaxy Tab!
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is being touted as the most promised rival to Apple iPad. The tablet which recently got launched in India is powered by Android Froyo, the latest version of Google’s operating software for mobile devices. Here is Rich Jaroslovsky’s, Bloomberg News columnist, review of the tablet where he tells why he doesn’t like the new Samsung Galaxy Tab more than Apple Inc’s iPad. This despite Samsung Galaxy Tab having two cameras, to none on the iPad; a bright colour screen; playing nicely with Adobe Systems Inc’s Flash video format which Apple doesn’t and more. |

1. Smaller display than iPad
Smaller display than iPad |
 |
2. Lighter than iPad but rugged
It’s also much lighter — almost 14 ounces versus about 24 for the iPad — and a smidgeon thinner. Still, it feels solid and seems rugged enough to stand up to heavy use. The front, for instance, is protected by a sheet of Corning Inc’s Gorilla Glass, which ought to provide ample protection from any set of keys you might toss into the same pocket. |
 |
3. Just bigger smartphone
Using an iPad isn’t like using an iPod Touch. It is larger size and two-hand operation makes it a very different experience. By contrast, using the Galaxy Tab is a lot like using one of the big-screen Android-based smartphones, such as Motorola Inc’s Droid X or HTC Corp’s EVO. |
 |
4. Same processor as Samsung Galaxy S phone
The Galaxy, which is powered by the same processor used in Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphones, comes with 16GB of onboard storage for apps and content, the same as the base-level iPad. A slot for an SD memory card lets you expand it by an additional 32GB. The cameras are nothing special — the front-facing one is 1.3 megapixels, the rear is 3 megapixels — but it’s kind of fun to be able to see your photo or video on the 7-inch screen while you’re shooting it. |
 |
5. AMOLED missing
The screen on the Galaxy is a disappointment. It’s bright enough but lacks the jump-out-at-you pizzazz of the gorgeous Super AMOLED displays that Samsung uses on the Galaxy S phones. The screen also displayed an annoying tendency to dim itself while I was using it, the result of a feature that analyzes the image being displayed and automatically adjusts the brightness. Even with the option disabled, the screen would sometimes dim on its own, though not as often. |
 |
6. iPad has more apps
iPad has more apps Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs recently trash-talked the 7-inch size, saying it “isn’t sufficient to create great tablet apps.” I don’t buy that, but for the Galaxy to be a success, Android developers will need to step up and prove him wrong. |
 |
7. Non-replaceable battery
Like the iPad’s, the Galaxy Tab’s battery isn’t user-replaceable. Samsung says the Galaxy has a battery life of six to seven hours of continuous video playback, which is less than the iPad but sufficient to keep you entertained on a cross-country flight. Warning: On two separate devices, the charge plunged when Bluetooth connectivity was enabled, so keep it off unless you need it. |
 |
8. Higher pricing
You might be willing to live with the Galaxy Tab’s compromises if you were at least saving a bunch of money over an iPad. At Rs 38,000 price, you aren’t likely to. Though iPad is still to launch in India, the tablet is unlikely to be priced higher than Galaxy Tab. |

1. Turn phone into a wireless keyboard, remote & 3D mouse
Turn phone into a wireless keyboard, remote & 3D mouse
Mobile Mouse Pro, exclusively available for iOS devices, is a pretty remarkable piece of software. It can use the device’s built-in accelerometer to function as an in-air mouse; just tilt the device from side-to-side and the cursor movement will follow. If you prefer, you can also use the entire touchscreen as a multi-touch trackpad. The app also provides an on-screen keyboard and built in controls for media playback and web browsing. You need to install the free client application on your MAC or PC, download the app on to your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad and pair it with a PC on the same Wi-Fi network. Get it for $1.99 from the App Store.

2. Use camera like a webcam
With a handy application called Mobiola (available for iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian), your smartphone’s camera can be used as a webcamera as long as it is within the same network as the PC.
You need to install the free Mobiola WebCamera Desktop software on the PC, and the app connects to the PC instantly. You can use the video feed with Skype, Yahoo, Windows Live Messenger, AIM, ICQ or any other chat application, just like you would any regular USB webcam.

3. View & control PC desktop
Using free VNC apps (Virtual Network Computing ) like Mocha VNC Lite and Remote Desktop Lite, you can connect to and control your PC from your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. After installing the standard, free VNC server on a MAC or PC, you can connect and see your computer’s desktop exactly as you would if you were sitting in front of it. You don’t need to be on the same network to connect to your computer, which means that you can also connect from a remote location , as long as you have a stable internet connection.

5. Watch Live TV

|
|
6. Listen to free, legal, unlimited music
Listen to free, legal, unlimited music Some internet radio stations are ad-supported , but most offer free, highquality streaming of genre or location-based music. Want to listen to only Jazz? How about 80s music or only Bollywood? It’s all possible with internet radio. What’s more, you can also connect your smartphone to a music system or external speakers to share the music. 
|
|
7. Identify & find out more about anything
With Google Goggles, you can take pictures of something, have the app identify it and use that info to search the web. You don’t need to type or speak; just click a picture of what you need to identify and the app does the rest. Apart from text, the app can also identify logos, liquor bottles, artwork & paintings, famous monuments & landmarks or even a piece of text. It almost feels like magic when you first use it. Google Goggles is available for free for iOS and for all devices running Android 1.6 or later.

8. Remotely start your car
Imagine this: you fire up an app on your smartphone, tap a button, and your car standing in front of you instantly comes to life. You can do this with the Viper Smart-Start app; available for iOS, Android and Blackberry. Not so fast; you also have to first get and install the Viper SmartStart security system in your car. Your phone connects to the system in your car, after authentication, using the GSM network. This means that distance from the car is not an issue. Now why would you want to start your car from a remote location, you ask? Apart from the huge geek cred which comes standard, you can use the system to pre-warm or pre-cool your car in the winter or summer. Or find your car in a crowded location.

9. Turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot
This is particularly useful if you have an unlimited data plan and a Wi-Fi-enabled phone. A simple app called JoikuSpot (Symbian S60, Symbian^3, Maemo & Windows Mobile) can use your phone’s Wi-Fi to create a portable hot spot that others devices can connect to. Once configured, you can instantly use the phone’s GPRS/EDGE/3G connection to browse the web through your laptop or other compatible Wi-Fi device like a tablet or media device. Prices for the app range from US$ 13 to 21 depending on device.

10. Help visually impaired to read
How can Braille be implemented on a phone? With the help of the Nokia Braille Reader & a touchscreen Nokia phone. The Nokia Braille Reader (Symbian S60 v5 touchscreen phones only) has been jointly developed by Nokia, Tampere University & the Finnish Federation of the Visually Impaired. The app captures received SMSs & turns them into Braille using the touchscreen and haptic feedback using the built in vibrator. The user will be able to feel text, just like on a sheet of Braille.
