So, on October 14 will be a presentation by Apple, dedicated to notebooks. The network in this context is not very quiet, people are waiting-pozhdet what happens, everything is, and so on. Time before the presentation is short, only a few days, hints and hints, if you look, there is quite a lot. But we will not do digest and search. Rather, I will not. I invite you to the flight of thought and the fabulous fantasy to begin with. At first I write the first Glaucus, and then turn to the network and see what it writes.
Wireless speakers, one thing from Nokia I was able to take popolzovavshis just a couple of days ago. Usually I test the device for a few days (talk about accessories), the headset goes from four days to two weeks, depending on the device. But this column is not a headset, this thing is much easier. On the other hand, while my hands were MD-5W, I sometimes caught myself thinking: "Well, now the music from your phone and you can listen to the speakers without wires - have survived." Remember, the first headset for music from an old, old music phones? Well, Siemens SL-45i, for example? By the way, not a bad headset, though, because you can press the central button to stop / resume. Then the market, in fact, nothing happened until the HPM-70, a whole series of headsets with ear-plugs, now flourishing wireless stereo solutions, stands with the speakers or just portable speakers. And now the speaker of the wireless handset manufacturer. In fact, survived.
The new prepaid tariff MegaFon-Moscow is called "Just rate" - not quite consistently, could be called a "tariff" without "just" or "difficult." In the end, there must have a newspaper with the title "Links" and the most popular under socialism cheese called "Cheese" - the buyers were so happy with rare occurrences of this product in the store, which specify the type / name of anyone and had no idea. By the way, for some reason it seems to us that this tariff plan rather stick the name "Threefold" or "treshka - the future will tell.
It seems that the tide "of free incoming calls" almost has reached Russia. Banal phrase "less than a half a year" in this case is misplaced - the time passed much more, and how long will it take until concrete progress is known only to the President and his deputy - the Grand Commander of telecommunications licenses. However, to speak on this vital topic for quite nobody forbids.
That came to an end press conference by Apple, associated with new laptops. In general, they can be safely called a new, not just an upgrade. And even if we started a iGadalku, let us now look at what could guess what's the - no. Go straight on those points I, and at the same time understand, that it represents a new family.
The path of progress curves and bumpy. The ideal situation - formed needs are being met with specially designed solutions. In this case, users are happy to give money for the long-awaited product, the developers / producers with no less gladly take the money, the product of the money being improved and developed. Today, however, is uncommon. New technologies appear before the developers (not to mention consumers) have time to figure out where, in fact, it's such a great solution can be to your advantage to stick. A good example - service MMS. Like all great coined in the wake of the popularity of SMS product was downright doomed to success. But no, people did not understand his happiness, had to explain: communicate beautifully with pictures, music, color! I still do not understand and do not want to pay, right kind of global stupidity of subscribers of all countries and peoples. Why the message "sorry, late!" prisobachivat animated clock and the sound of midnight? Brighten up the waiting time? In short, the supposed "universal boom MMS" did not work, contrary to expectations, service to the masses did not go.
In fact, have already supplied it is clear that we face an inexpensive solution. Not only that charge is only for the car, so more and a non-standard connector, something he looks like the one that was in the Samsung D600, however, be charged from such a device SP5050 not wanted. There is no carrying case or cloth to wipe, no cradle ... However, what I mean?
One may recall how in the first press release about the MMS gleefully described the ability to send directly to your phone simple circuits, diagrams and drawings. Especially emphasized the convenience ligament MMS + built-in camera. Later, promotional enthusiasm on this subject has calmed down, and manufacturers have focused on the depiction of the great happiness of receiving the phone screen on your favorite people and the surrounding scenery. The reason is banal as the landscape: the built-in camera photographed and sent as an MMS to the drawings and diagrams really was nothing to be dismantled.
If you remember the first time a Bluetooth adapter for phones without a built-in function came bundled headset Jabra BT-200, it was such a shapeless thing, which had a slot for some phones. Actually, to him, and connected the headset, worth a bundle in those days (about five years ago) quite a lot, but the owner of virtually any device able to feel on the crest of a wave of modern technology.
Mobile operators worldwide are increasingly faced with the problem of minors' access to information resources and services for adults. " Themselves some minor problems with it do not suffer, but the adult uncles at the company's board - continuous headache. The issue gained urgency and poignancy relatively recently, since before the advent of mobile phones with color displays, integrated cameras and full-featured web / wap browsers on this no one thought much. Although attempts to propose a wap-content and were to search out something more or less specific to black and white display was difficult. Well, or needed a totally unfettered imagination.
We continue to talk about the MMS-delights. Already thought of and continue to think about many interesting services and applications for multimedia communications, "Postcard to MMS" has gained popularity overseas, and the service is implemented and we Megaphone. It suffices to take a picture, write the address, the text and send it all as MMS to a special service number. The photo will be printed and sent by regular mail to the address provided. In France, the second largest operator (SFR) used to prepare MMS-postcard special technologies for optimized image quality, the results are clearly visible to the naked eye. Not very well versed in digital photography people not particularly impressed, but the specialist will appreciate in full measure - especially given the fact that the correction is performed automatically, without human rights in general.
Not so long ago, Sony Ericsson announced a new watch, a model of MBW-150. Rumors that the hours would be a lot, did not materialize, it is one and the same model in different design, apparently, under different model series phones from SE. Each modification is called differently, this Classic Edition (leather strap, black and white design of the dial), Executive Edition (steel strap, black and white design of the dial), Music Edition (rubber strap, black, white and orange design of the dial). Housing at all hours of the same, the size and weight, compared with the MBW-100, have become more comfortable (ie, become a little less). The design was also changed, the shape of the dial has a round, rather than barrel-shaped, in principle, look MBW-150 pointeresney previous model, although I've seen live so far only under consideration today, "musical" version with a rubber strap.
Absurd Rostelekomovskie rates on long-distance and international communications has long been no surprise. State-owned enterprises dutifully pay thousands of bills (fortunately not from his own pocket), dozens of IP-operators urgently forge production of plastic telephone cards, law-abiding citizens and lazy habit gaining eight on home phones. Boring routine, and occasionally explosive is yet another cry on telecom monopoly in any moderately tsenzuriruemoy newspaper. However, for all foreign gracious image problem of gradual loss of Rostelecom long-distance market is quite obvious.
Really new and unusual initiative "Mobile Telesystems": contract subscribers to offer valuable discounts (15%) for most services in exchange for loyalty to the beloved operator. And for treason will have to pay - fortunately no blood, but only in money. Take the oath of allegiance or not - it's subscribers, it strictly voluntary. In addition, the subscribers of TP "Jeans", the initiative does not apply. Try to evaluate the attractiveness of the new proposal MTS.
Thing that came into my hands, turned out to be one of the only specimen found in the Moscow office of the company, she was lying forlornly in a corner, forgotten by all, until my keen eye is not pulled it to the newest set. It would seem that about her writing when she is not for sale? It is necessary to write, because that thing is very good and interesting, has some remarkable features.
It will soon be finished in April or something ... On the other hand, is not "cute incidents" in the tariff and billing subscribers' life is boring and routine. And what is puzzling and talk about.
In the edition we sometimes have the meeting. At meetings, we show each other all sorts of devices, Artyom is a series of devices based on WM, with Eldar, usually - news from the great quartet, Sasha - a pile of players and headphones, Seryozha Potresov - strung on a thread of SIM-cards. With me, of course, any Bluetooth-good, compact and easily transported in a simple pocket. True, MD-7W and compact - two different things, speakers in folded position is quite large, but it does not matter. In short, the editors have done with this thing. One of them put on a column on the neck. The second put on his head, attaching to the ears. The third player is hooked up and started listening to music. Interesting was an accessory, very amusing.
In a recent digest on accessories, I mentioned the two new columns from Motorola, this model EQ5 and EQ7. Then I was not inspired by these devices in any way, I did not have any mental thrill, or any other sensations, perhaps because of the global situation with the mobile unit. See for yourself: cool when there are new accessories, but with what I use them? The same headset S605, the column - it's all very nice when on the shelves of a series of music phones ROKR. At the same time the market can only be found okolomuzykalny Z6, sale E8, which were to begin in March, moved in June. Then there were a full range of accessories for the ROKR, this column, a review of which you are reading now, and headsets (and Bluetooth, and wired), and any such change. By the way, can not but rejoice that the sale there is finally fit for Motorola phones with microUSB, for example, just yesterday I bought my own hands the headset to the original RAZR2. Another "way" - sales of versions of this machine with 2Gb of memory has already begun, this version of the gray and brown colors, I'll use the latter for writing InUse, really want to get high-capacity battery with a special cover (if you can help for money). Well, now let's look at EQ5. I beg your pardon for the mistake in the text of what I call the device EQ7, but it is a different song (literally).
How many times have to repeat the old phrase: "Readers who are interested in accessories, blah-blah-blah." So, these same people are well aware that in an assortment of not so many and all have a base set, mostly mono and stereo Bluetooth-headset. The reason is quite simple: special, aimed at developing and selling all kinds of tools to support, not yet established, although in 2007 it seemed that here, right now. I remember I was still very impressed with the beginning of the year, when the light of day there were successful models like the WEP410, SBH170, but how vigorous was the beginning, so "bravely" took place and the sunset of interest only in the autumn were announced by overhead headset SBH500. But in 2008, was completely calm, at least I thought so until yesterday's visit to the depths of the mission, which not only managed to take the bag a few novelties, but also to see what awaits us in the year rodent.
What a magic figure that? Began with a 15 percent discount on monthly fee Megaphone, recently my 15-percent project organized by the MTS. Now it looks like some kind of bonus scheme for all with the same long-suffering 15 per cent going to implement the Beeline. Official information from the press service of VimpelCom was not available (though the fact reluctantly confirmed), but a certain amount of circumstantial evidence was collected. Try to analyze the extracted information (albeit incomplete), and simultaneously compare the planned scheme to encourage loyal subscribers with existing programs from other operators. Although even the most cursory glance suggests an important conclusion: The program is clearly Beeline "sharpened" enticement to his foreign and loyalty of their most mobile subscribers. Under the "mobile" in this case refers to easily migrate customers prepaid-boxes.
As I have said many times, the headset is akin to car speakers for mobile phones: The audience is like, like and phones is befitting, but still the product is not popular. Many Russian drivers use the speakerphone? I doubt it, which is the case even now such devices from the "telephone" the producer, but also embedded systems - well, when it is, maybe I'll even seize this opportunity, but so far just fetch the phone from his pocket and answer the call. Squeeze the old-fashioned phone arm, lit a cigarette, I will stand in traffic and communicate with a person, not being distracted from the road. I understand that it's wrong that you can not talk and drive a car, it's bad. Save sets, it is somehow more convenient than a separate unit on the visor, which must connect the phone to charge, to make of the car when he parked somewhere. Perhaps in Europe the cars do not compete, but we have a brilliant contraption attracts a criminal element with the crowbar.
Transformation of MegaFon-Moscow fare "Speak!" In "one to one indicates the end of the initial phase of the company's growth and transition to the struggle for mass client. However, before proceeding to the analysis of one to one "there is a need to consider its historical predecessor - the rate of" Just "
Slowly, polegonku we consider the latest novelties accessories from Motorola, I am writing this review, but in my ears already playing music with the "extended» Motorola S9. That which provides surround sound and all that. In general, we'll talk about it in the review, but for now let's look at the massive black stuff.
