Phones hit the road with Garmin Nuviphone
Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 4, 2008 – 6:43 pm

Garmin joined the mobile market in another perspective, by launching a mobile phone which is mostly a GPS than anything else. Such a phone would be mostly useful as a carphone.
The Garmin Nuviphone has the following features:
- GPS (duh)
- 3 megapixel camera with autofocus
- Quad-Band GSM
- Tri-Band HSDPA
- Bluetooth
- 3.5" touchscreen display (hopefully a decent resolution)
As you can see in the picture, the phone needs some cosmetic touches, it looks too bulky, and it looks only suitable for a GPS car.

Nokia releases v200 firmware for E90
Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 4, 2008 – 6:22 pm

There is a strong possibility that Nokia’s team has drank Redbull in excess. Thursday, Steve Litchfield caught a fault in Nokia Software Update site, it appeared that v200.34.72 firmware was available, from the previous v7.40.12 firmware.

The changes as follows:
- Flash Lite 3 added, with Flash video support
- Support for Web runtime is probably here as well, it tends to come along with FL3 - can anyone confirm this?
- Maps won’t open (for me, at least), you get instructed to go to the web for the latest version. Clumsy. On the web, v1.0 is shown and v1.02 is served up, which at least installs and runs fine. I’m sure the latest v2.0 beta would, too.
- New ‘Set up Internet telephony’ shortcut on standby screen
- Includes Quickoffice 4.1.27.5, many enhancements over the old 3.85, although without the extra functions of the v4.5 and v5.0 paid upgrades. There are also extra options in Quickmanager, specifically more rebrands of Epocware products. The new Quickoffice is apparently back-ported from the version which will be standard in S60 3rd Edition FP2.
- Application opening and booting seem faster. I don’t think that v200 has demand paging though - seems more like optimisations.
- A boat load of bug fixes and tweaks. The ‘Today’/# bug in Calendar seems to have gone away. Anyone confirm this with a decent size Calendar dataset? Also, let’s hope Web is more stable!
However, there some faults in Maps and Web applications according to Steve, and Nokia has removed the update from their website and NSU application, few corrections, and “v200″ will be ready again.

Panasonic to add plasma displays to mobile phones
Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 4, 2008 – 4:20 pm
From LCD to OLED, now it’s plasma’s turn. Panasonic surely makes the best plasma TVs in the world, even I own one. To see a display with great contrast and resolution on a mobile phone is something we certainly need nowadays, and it would be a great addition to the upcoming touchscreen-enable cellphones, that of course, if it is possible to enable touchscreen-plasma displays.
I believe that the evolution to plasma displays on mobile phones should be quite far, we don’t even see laptops with them, and another concern is the energy required to power them.
"For nearly a decade, Panasonic’s engineers have been secretly working on a thin, lightweight low-voltage compact plasma display. [...] We will be able to incorporate miniature plasma displays into both consumer and business telephone products starting this fall. They will rival OLED displays for brightness, contrast and thinness, and can be manufactured for much less money," stated Mark Balsama in a press conference.
Balsama continued, "Many of our new phones will have vibrant color plasma screens that can run on just 1.5 volts and won’t require any additional wiring or special power supplies. We’ll be able to put plasma in cell phones, business phones, consumer phones, corded phones, cordless phones, and even door intercom monitors and fax machines. We will revolutionize the consumer electronics business, as Panasonic has done many times before."

35 years since the first phone call
Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 4, 2008 – 2:32 pm
"People are mobile," said Cooper. "Given the choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. We vividly demonstrated that freedom back in 1973. In a time when there were no cordless or cellular phones, normally blasé New Yorkers gaped at the sight of me making a phone call while strolling down Lexington Avenue."
