The Nexus One will have the latest version of Android (2.1 flan).
Engadget has tested a final outcome of the production of the terminal.
The Nexus One is manufactured by HTC, and is easily recognized design of Taiwan since the first models including HTC Touch. The motive would be nice to the touch and a bit reminiscent of Palm Pre design (according to engadget).

The Mobile One Nexus is 11.5 mm in thickness, it measures 59.8mm in width and 119mm in hauteur.Il has 4 buttons "natural" on the front of the mobile back button, Menu, Home and Search.

The proposed digital camera is a 5 MegaPixels matched to a LED type flash.

iPhone 4G/HD :

And so finally, the press event on 26 January was not dedicated to the presentation of the first touch Apple tablet, but the announcement of the quartrième generation iPhone? For several hours, a new wave of rumors assumes that, tired of the hype around terminals Nexus Google, Apple has decided to launch the next iPhone, dubbed iPhone 4G, beginning in April. We do not know what would be good news, but several tracks are proposed.

An iPhone better? Various terminals rely on the Android smart SnapDragon Qualcomm, which can be clocked up to 1 GHz and is revealed in many cases more powerful than the processor at 612 MHz of the current iPhone 3G. This assumes that Apple may, for its next smartphone to use a chip faster. Some even talk of a dual-core processor, which might suggest that Apple plans to finally allow multitasking.

We know the mobile game is a source of revenue for Apple and one of the arguments that make the iPhone and iPod Touch is selling so well, especially with younger audiences. The component dedicated to graphics and 3D is therefore of paramount importance. It turns out that PowerVR, whose chips power it already the iPhone, has announced the release of the PowerVR SGX 545, a new graphics even better, with DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.2. Integrated into the iPhone, it would doubtless wonders.



Rumors have also reported the transition to an OLED screen, which would provide a brighter display, better contrast, while consuming less energy than the current LCD. Finally, we talk about the introduction of a 5 megapixel camera with flash and a second sensor, front this time dedicated to videoconferencing.

In short, it was not until the end of the month and press event hosted by Apple to see if the tablet or islative this iPhone 4G will materialize. Once these rumors relayed, we can not help noticing that the press 'traditional' can not help quench his thirst Scoop relaying many assumptions which follow on specialized sites ...

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 :

There is exactly one year ago I had the opportunity to test the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, today I propose to discover the latest in the range, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10.
Long awaited (since may be too long for that matter) for Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is a SmartPhone running Android 1.6 'Donut' overcoated with NEXUS. And yes, it will take next update before (hopefully) install Android 2.0 or 2.1 on the X10 ... (arf)

Measuring 119 × 63x13mm for 135gr, the X10 is a pretty impressive mobile but lightweight for its size, features a large touchscreen TFT Capacitive of 4 inches for a resolution of 480 × 854 bill but excellent when handling Unfortunately the Multi-Touch (arf 2).

Under his shell we find the famous Qualcomm processor running at 1GHz SnapDragon QSD8250, 256MB RAM and 1GB of internal flash memory expandable with MicroSD.

Regarding the wireless connectivity you can count on the 3G/3G, WiFi 802.11 b / g, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A2DP and finally the chip A-GPS.

The X10 is equipped with a digital camera 8.1Mpx with auto-focus, LED flashlight, 16x digital zoom and stabilizer.

The NPA can take pictures of a maximum resolution of 3264 × 2448px as well as record videos in MPEG4 format with resolutions ranging from 176 × 144-800 × 480px max.

Without being exceptional, quality photos and videos captured with the X10 is satisfactory for this level range.

Three buttons are chrome shortcut 'Options', 'Home' and 'Back' (too thin for my taste), lit by two blue LEDs are available at the bottom of the front button but no answer and hang up to ... (3 arf ).

A light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen and a proximity sensor for their part are placed above the screen, along with the earpiece.

On the top we find a mobile mini-USB port, a 3.5mm headphone jack (audio out) and press Start / lock / off.

The keys to activate the NPC and zoom buttons that also function as volume control buttons are placed on them on the right spine of the mobile.

The X10 comes with an 8 GB microSD memory card, note that the slot is unfortunately under the hull and access requires removing the battery (arf 4).

I would have preferred an external slot placed on one slice of the mobile, in short a site easier to access ...

Interface side we are on familiar ground and with the processor SnapDragon Android 1.6 is very reactive, does not suffer any slowdown.

Small feature all the same, including the overlay NEXUS (specificity most notable) 'Timescape' which, just how MotoBlur, syncs all your contacts, mail flow and social (Twitter, Facebook and MySpace) to a beautifully animated timeline.

Little detail was a bit upset, when a link is displayed in a message received via Twitter for example it is impossible to open the link in question directly in the Web browser. Click on the link will return on Twitter which requires that you be logged in to Twitter (Web) click the link in question and access to content related, not very practical ...

Another feature of this overlay, Mediascape offers a specific interface and more enjoyable for media libraries (pictures, audio and video).

Good point for the virtual keyboard with the spacing of the keys provides a significant comfort.

Also note that the X10 includes MS Exchange ActiveSync provides synchronization with Google services like Gmail or Calendar and Sony Ericsson also offers its own synchronization service.

Nothing wrong with the side of Web browsing, the pages display very quickly and navigation on the screen 4 inches is fluid and enjoyable.

The X10 is naturally equipped with an accelerometer that allows among others to switch from portrait to landscape mode.

Phone Comparison, Apple's iPhone Against Nokia N97 Phones :

A new smartphone from Nokia N-series will be coming in January '09, the Nokia N97 And now all the buzz is whether or not this will be the iPhone killer who has been prophesied for so long. Here's a heads-up on how the four cell systems in place.

On the face of it, the Nokia N97 is more like the iPhone than any other Nokia to date. He formed one-piece thin (thinner than the iPhone, actually) keys minimalist (two instead of one) and 3.5-inch touch screen occupying most of the face.

In the hand, you realize that, although slim, N97 is thicker and heavier than the iPhone.

While possessing the same size as the touch screen of the iPhone, the N97 "Resolution of the iPhone puts to shame, with true 16:9 widescreen (640 x 360 pixels) at 3:2 iPhone (320 x 480). Thus, the photo management for multimedia and video playback, games, and the N97 comes out well above the iPhone.

WATTENDU THAT both the iPhone and the Nokia N97 Support of audio and video more, the N97 has the advantage of supporting Flash Lite, Flash Video and Windows Media 9.

This support Flash should not be underestimated, as it will allow Nokia N97 users that makes web pages much more than the iPhone 3G is currently able. The iPhone does not support browser-based Java on the N97 can or not, it is not yet clear.

The camera on the Nokia N97 is far superior to the iPhone (and those of most other smartphones on the market) with 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss optics, LED flash, and recording DVD quality video with integrated lighting video.

The iPhone still has that relic meager 2 megapixel camera with a flash or or manual focus. The N97 also beats the iPhone in memory - both in the way of onboard storage (32GB cons 8GB or 16GB) and expandable memory (up to 16GB of additional vs. none at all).

The most notable difference between the N97 and the iPhone is the Nokia has a slideout QWERTY keyboard in addition to its touch screen similar to Apple keyboard.

Both the iPhone and the Nokia N97 has integrated GPS (including third party iPhone applications to geo-location and GoogleMaps, the N97 has a digital compass and NokiaMaps).

Both have HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth, WiFi &. N three can be expected, however, that the Nokia shop will never be able to offer users the range and variety N97 smartphone applications from the iTunes App Store offers iPhone users.

Although prices have not yet been published in U.S. dollars, it seems clear that at least Nokia N97, with all its advantages over the iPhone, will also cost more to buy than the iPhone.
