The Development of Fourth-Generation Infrastructure in Southeast Asia


Fourth-generation networks have been common in many industrialized countries since their inception early in the twenty-first century. However, developing Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, and Thailand are latecomers to the fourth-generation market. Despite the absence of fourth-generation-capable networks in these countries, their citizens have invested in fourth-generation devices such as the BlackBerry smartphone, the touch phone, as well as touch tablets. In the hands of their owners, these phones regrettably have not been able service their needs to the fullest potential, because of the lack of native fourth-generation network providers in their respective countries.
However, American companies such as RIM, the makers of BlackBerry, have begun negotiations with Southeast Asian mobile phone carriers. One of the best examples of this has been the recently launched BlackBerry Singapore. The satellite company provides Singaporean subscribers as well as visiting Blackberry users with access to the latest and greatest applications and other BlackBerry software which is available in the US, as well as on-site and online technical support. This has allowed Singaporean subscribers to use applications and services that have been unavailable to them previously. Because of these developments, foreign investment and business ventures in Singapore are at an all-time high. The partnership that exists between Black Berry and native Singaporean companies associated with mobile communications has given the Singaporean citizen the technological tools to communicate and conduct business with others across the world in an efficient and expeditious way.
Research has shown that Black Berry as well as their competitors in the US and Western Europe has all begun negotiations with other Southeast Asian countries. Given the excellent performance of satellite companies like Black Berry Singapore, it is only a matter of time before fourth-generation technology and its associated networks span all of Asia. In fact, Black berry will soon be launching satellite companies such as Black Berry Hong Kong and Black Berry Taiwan. If this trend continues it is highly likely that business analysts and market researchers will soon see the developments of even more satellite companies throughout the Middle East and the African continent as well.
In my opinion, fourth-generation technology and its associated networks will become the foundation of international business and international personal communication within the next two to three decades. This will allow instantaneous communication between people and organizations the matter their location on the globe. Furthermore, these continuous developments will continue to play a pivotal role in the economic and financial betterment of the developing world.

A Review of the Best Android Smartphone


In the recent past, the mobile devices market has been getting a boost; hence, the growing demands by more people to acquire the android powered cell phones. The first android powered smartphone to be introduced into the market was the HTC Dream. After this, the Android powered phones took the market by storm, as it had with it the applications; from the applications store that were desired by many.

smart phones play a major role in the world today as they are of importance to many. The features that they come along with are what make them the best of the best. This can be said to be their hardware. Their body system is unique and for better efficiency, they are packed tightly. To meet the user needs they therefore have the simplest of design simplicity as well as a web access that can be relied upon by the user wherever or at any given moment. In addition to this is the fact that they are built for a camera that is solid, is inbuilt, and therefore allows the user to take snap shots at any place. Not forgetting that they do have one, the keyboards are easy to use and are very convenient.

The Touch Phone, which also falls under this category of Android Smartphones, has a wide range of features as well as applications. The touch phones are the phones that one is not necessarily subjected to using the keyboard to get access to the phone, but is rather to touch the screen of the phone either by his or her fingers or by using a stylus pen to give a command or to interact with the phone. Its screen is hypersensitive to touch. They are more efficient and easy to use as compared to the others that use the keyboards and therefore the screens to the phones are always given the extra care that they deserve. 

The Cell Phone is not to be excluded when we talk about the Android Smartphones, as they are importance to this group of devices. There are the touch cell phones and the smart phones in the market today. The products that are of this type are a variety and have the best quality features that are what the customers need; they are efficient as well as being user friendly and their designs are worth a closer look.

Customize Your 4G-Device, Applications and Customer Support


The latest developments in fourth-generation cell phones and personal computer tablets have increased the little machines’ abilities by leaps and bounds in only a short time. For example, fifteen years ago, cellular phones were made with an attitude of “one size fits all”, and smart tablets did not exist. Currently, world markets are under siege from a multitude of new 4G communication devices, which include cell phones and smart tablets. Thanks to these devices’ onboard fourth-generation wi-fi connection, computer programs such as, games, video software, and office suites are available for download from a variety of online sources. These developments allowed subscribers to uniquely customize and personalize all of their 4G devices, with interesting themes, ring tones, and personally selected applications. These applications allow you to stay informed on any subject whatsoever, whether sports, or news, or in some cases some other interesting literature like stocks and bonds.
This allows customers to remain informed on the subjects that are most important to them, while also negating the need to sift through piles and piles of unnecessary paper, or scroll through a plethora of Internet hits, which may or may not pertain to your own interests and goals. Despite the ability to customize 4G devices, the selection of applications and accessories can be quite the challenge for someone who is unfamiliar with fourth-generation technology.
However, fourth-generation network providers, software developers, and manufacturers of fourth-generation devices are acutely aware of this previously mentioned condition, and have taken steps to ensure that those customers who are overwhelmed by the capabilities of their newly purchased machines receive the help needed to provide the best 4G experience possible. For example, RIM, the developer of the BlackBerry product-line has created a service department called BlackBerry support. This department is run by experts specialize in the the selection, installation, and operation of BlackBerry apps. At the same time, these experts can help customers download software updates to their devices, and also address any issues that customers have with inoperative or failing hardware components. Likewise, the same staff members can also assist customers in learning how to operate Bluetooth technology, cameras, and other components that can be added to the phone or tablet.
In closing, everyone deserves to have a 4G device that they can easily use and appreciate in the their daily lives. RIM has established a reputation for providing quality products as well as quality service, and their reputation is well-deserved.

The Best Tablet PCs



The last few years have seen technology evolve at a remarkably fast rate. Apart from the best cell phones on the market, one of the fastest changing gadgets is the computer and, among the computers, is the Tablet PC. This situation is happening because most of the computer manufacturers are competing to become the best manufacturer of the best Tablet PC. On the other hand, most of the consumers now prefer to use the tablet PC as opposed to other computers to do their work. This means that the tablet is becoming more popular in schools, where both students and lecturers are using it, in hospitals for doctors to keep up with their work and for business people, as they conduct their various daily business transactions. This popularity has led to the tablet PC coming in a variety of designs and shapes that fit the requirements of the different users.

Tablets traditionally have two broad categories when it comes to their design. There are the convertible tablets and the slates. The latter is the conventional representation of the tablet PC’s principles. Many people refer to the slate as a hi-tech flat personal computer screen positioned on a desk. To replace the traditional PC mouse, the slate uses a stylus pen for navigating through the pages and for basic functions. The slate is sometimes compared to a piece of paper with hi-tech features where the user can perform different functions and applications. For users who find it hard to use the slate without the traditional mouse and keyboard, there is an allocation for the attachment of both these hardware to the Slate.

The convertible tablet PC, on the other hand, has a similar design with a laptop and functions in a quite similar way. To work with it, the user opens the screen, navigates through the computer, and manipulates it using either a touch pad or a keyboard. The user also has the option of attaching a keyboard and other preferred peripherals to it so that they can feel comfortable using it. The screen can twist to an angle of 180 degrees and can therefore, be used as a slate whichever the user desires.

Tablets are classified according to their industrial features, such as their connectivity, their body and screen size, and the manufacturing brand. The brand and category selection lie wholly on the user’s requirements while the other specifications come with the type of PC chosen. For instance, the PC screen varies depending on their sizes, such that one can get one PC with a screen that is 6 by 8 inches or a bigger one of 9 by 12 inches. The size of the screen varies with the writing and drawing space of the PC.

Pressure sensitivity is another way that tablets are classified. High pressure sensitivity tablets give the user accurate saving and registration of drawings and writings. That is why the user experiences easy navigation and manipulation of the PC according to their desire. The pressure sensitivity varies with the different PCs, and the highest sensitivity so far is 1024.

T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 Smartphone Review



The T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 has regularly been described as the lightest and thinnest Blackberry that has been built. It has a unique and tasteful design and a smooth chrome finish that gives it a visible appeal. Its black color increases this mystery. It is the follower of the BlackBerry Curve 8320, but with great modifications that place it far removed from its bulky predecessor. It has a much higher screen resolution, which makes up for the slightly lower maximum brightness. The 480 by 360 screen is bright enough for any daylight viewing, despite the reduced maximum brightness. It comes with a full 35-key QWERTY keyboard that makes typing on the phone a lot easier.

The phone comes with the full range of features A&T BlackBerry Torch phones have. Their performance of basic cellular functions is efficient, to say the least. Users can make and receive calls over GSM networks with high voice quality and greatly reduced background noise. The speaker volume could do with some increments, but it has a powerful loudspeaker functionality that makes it ideal for making conference calls. Its text messaging feature includes predictive typing which makes typing much faster. It has an elaborate instant messaging service, the BlackBerry Messenger, one of the fastest available instant messengers available for Smartphones. The Messenger is able to send and receive messages via the BlackBerry PIN.

The Blackberry Curve 8900 serves very well as a personal secretary through its organizer that is tailored to help the user plan and store various schedules; and it also has reminders.

What may be called the shortfall of this phone is its lack of a 3G or 4G internet connection. It still works on the 2G platform, which is a lot slower. However, the handset makes up for this disadvantage with its Wi-Fi connection, which provides users with a high speed data connection. The user is also able to make calls using Wi-Fi by taking advantage of the Hotspot@Home supported through UMA. UMA also enables the users of this phone to switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi calls from various VoIP accounts such as Skype to GSM calls, as one does not need to maintain a separate account for the two connections.

The entertainment experience provided here is also top quality, as the phone comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo Bluetooth headsets. It has a simple but very capable media player that can open files of many types, play back videos and high audio quality. With all these and many more great functions, combined with its small size and sleek design, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is truly one of the best BlackBerrys available.

Touch screen technology


Typical smart phones do not have any keyboards. They have a special hardware and pen based software. These enable the PDA phones to recognize handwritten input. The phone’s display screen can be used for the input. A stylus operates as an input device. The reason why many prefer the PDS phones is that they are portable. This enables the users to carry the devices when they are going for meetings. They are useful in the sharing and referencing of business data.

The devices are also useful when there is a need to check emails on the wireless network. The data that is in these phones can be synchronized with the desktop. Many applications can be found in the PDA phones. This includes the word processor, calendar, address book and spreadsheet. These applications enable the user to use a PDA as an appointment scheduler, notepad and wireless communicator for receiving or sending data, emails, and faxes.

The PDA phones have become very popular as they are sold at lower prices and improved software. Touch Phones have also become popular as they also have various developments that make them more convenient for its users. HTC smart touch phone is one of the popular devices. Although it does not have wi-fi, the phone has 3G connectivity. These phones also have Bluetooth. They use USB cable for use with the other data connections.

It is convenient for typing as it is easy to handle and does not have many malfunctions.

One of the concerns that the users of Cell Phones have is whether they have a good browser. This HTC phone has a low browser. However, this is a great device for those who are looking for good prepaid mobile phones. The advantage of the prepaid phone is that there is no requirement for deposit, credit check and monthly rental fee. The disadvantage of prepaid mobile phones is that the calls and text messages are more expensive. The other disadvantage is that the credit can be exhausted when making a call.
