Nokia to launch Windows 8 tablet in upcoming event scheduled in New York in next month.

Advertise on TechBum™ ?

Nokia to hold Sept. 26-27 event, likely to announce first Windows tablet and phablet.

          Nokia has reportedly scheduled a press event in New York City on Sept. 26 -27. This could be when the company officially announces its first Windows 8 tablet and its rumored Lumia phablet.

          WP Central, a website that solely focuses on Windows Phone, reports that the handset giant may host an event on September 26-27. However, details regarding the event are still uncertain, whether it's a public press event or an internal meet. The site has also revealed a screenshot which appears to be a registration screen for the event.

         Windows 8-powered Nokia tablet just popped up on a bechmarking site that revealed some of the tablet's specs, including the operating system. It's not clear if this means that Nokia will use the full version of Windows 8 to power the tablet, or use Windows RT as had been previously reported.This would certainly help Nokia's first Windows 8 tablet get some great publicity as it coincides with Microsoft's next version of Windows 8. The tablets are expected to look similar to its Lumia smartphones, complete with bright colors and rounded poly-carbonate body.

        Details have been surprisingly scarce about a Nokia tablet, though we did see an earlier prototype, few weeks ago suggesting that the company is indeed experimenting with the platform. What is not clear is if the project continued going forward and what the current status is, though we have heard that AT&T is testing one and they would be the US launch partner.

Access Netflix , Hulu , Pandora , Rdio outside USA from anywhere in the world with MediaHint extension

I found this utility just a few days back when I wanted to use the pandora internet radio service but was unable as it is only available in the United States. and everytime and everything i tried i couldn't use the service same was the case with Netflix and Hulu. 

Though there are various options to use the VPN stuff and all but still I didn't want to use that because we have to setup the VPN , Streaming through it is damn slow ! 

And just then I found this browser extension called MediaHint . 

This extension is available only for Google Chrome  and Mozilla Firefox . 

Since I'm based in India i wasn;t able to access Pandora, Netflix , Hulu etc . which said "we are currently not available in your country yet ! " . 

So I just downloaded and installed this Simple extension in Google Chrome . I was skeptical but then I quickly visited Pandora.com and I was like , " COOL ! " . 

Though i don't use Netflix or Hulu yet but those sites did allow me to signup now . :)

link :  www.mediahint.com

MediaHint describes it as : 

-->

This extension allows you to access internet media streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Rdio from anywhere.
No additional set-up required. Install extension and you are ready to go.

Install and start using:
Hulu.com
Netflix.com
Pandora.com
Rdio.com

Media Hint works as advertised. It’s difficult to say how long it will be available before it is blocked by the big four mentioned above, or before it is shut down completely.

Cheers :)

OSX running on Microsoft Surface Pro [video]

Unofficial modified versions of OS X are available, bypassing the Apple-imposed checks that determine whether the computer is actually a Mac, requiring only that the hardware is similar to the one found on typical Mac computers.

The Surface Pro is powered with an Intel Core i5 and hardware similar to the one found on low-end Mac devices, therefore running OS X on this device sounds feasible, just like other PC’s that are capable of running tweaked versions of OS X. However, doubts about the legitimacy of the video lie among many, since it wouldn’t have been too difficult to capture a video of the OS X interface and playing it back on the Surface. Have a look at the video below and check for yourself:

Windows Phone 7.8 Update to roll out from February 2013 for the existing WP 7.5 Devices

--> I guess every windows phone 7.5 user must have waited quite long for the windows phone 7.8 update and must have come across various blogs saying the 7.8 update should arrive in early 2013.. 

So I went through various blogs and read various articles and now finally I could conclude that there is a strong a possibility that the WP 7.8 update should roll out from around February 2013. I am eagerly waiting for it  as I own a Windows Phone , Samsung Omnia W (first windows phone from Samsung in India) , currently running Windows Phone 7.5 OS , Tango , as they say !

Samsung Omnia W ( I must say my phone has Excellent hardware at the price , once again Samsung Well Done !)( I preferred it over Lumia 800 which was costlier and had nothing much to offer at that price ). Various blogs say that Samsung Omnia W will receive WiFi Tethering . But guys the Phone already has Internet Sharing available on the phone (i.e. multiple devices can use your mobile data connection).

So I wonder why on certain blogs they say that their phone does not have this functionality .Anyways ,  coming back to WP 7.8 ... 

So what additional features does the 7.8 update bring to your 
phone ? I know most of you must be knowing this but I would just like to mention it again :

1) Windows Phone 8 like Start Screen . (Probably this should be enough for most of us to get some fresh  and new feel )

2) Bing Daily lock Screen Wallpaper

3) Some new Themes (Mainly Color Schemes)

4) One will be able to make custom Ringtones from their MP3 files --- ( rumour :(  )

5) Bluetooth File Transfer will be available (i simply doubt that ... )

That's it . Not much I can tell unless and until i get the 7.8 update. But friends , I am sure that , "  When you pull out your phone out of our pocket , after you've received the windows phone 7.8 update , it will look and feel the same as a Windows Phone 8 device ".


So Stay tuned , as I will review the new features of Windows Phone 7.8 as soon as I get the update and will be uploading a Video reviewing the same ! 

So Subscribe to my YouTube Channel , Also You may like to know How I became a YouTube Partner , So go ahead and Check My last article on that ... Bye for now !

Cheers :)  

If  you have more info on this please feel free to post it in the comments !

HP Spectre XT TouchSmart Ultrabook Personal Review (15t-4010)

-->

Highlights: Stylish with a full HD 15.6" IPS touchscreen display, Core i7 ultra low voltage cpu, 8GB RAM, 500GB hard drive with 32GB SSD cache.


                           

The HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is HP's top of the line Windows 8 ultrabook. Like all ultrabooks it has a dual-core ultra low voltage Core i-series cpu with HD4000 graphics; in this case HP has chosen to pair a Core i7 with 8gb RAM, which adds a 15-20% speed boost over the Core i5's with 4gb RAM often seen in ultrabooks. The screen is a 15.6" wide-angle IPS touchscreen. A 5400rpm disk with a 32GB SSD Intel Smart Response cache provides storage. The HP is powered on the go by a 4 cell 48wh battery.

The HP comes nicely presented in a black cardboard case. A soft beige cloth bag encloses the laptop, and a black nylon bag stores the power accessories.

On the outside the HP is a stylish and thin brushed aluminum wedge which calls to mind a largish MacBook Air. Weight is just under 5 lbs, about 1/2 lb heavier than the 15.4" MacBook Pro Retina. It feels very sturdy, if a bit unwieldy when held by the side with one hand due to the width, which is 14.87 inches. The bottom is a nice soft-touch material with a vent in the back for the fan, and vents on the sides for two speakers (two more speakers are under the screen behind the keyboard). Inside is a wide palm rest with a large trackpad. The trackpad is set in a depression, and is made of glass. The spacious keyboard eschews the common practice of adding a numeric keyboard to 15.6" laptops. The hinges are sturdy and a bit stiff - the display can be opened without holding down the base of the laptop, until a certain point when the base starts to lift.

Connectivity is good. The HP is one of the few Windows laptops to have a Thunderbolt port. Unlike many other laptops, the two USB 3.0 ports on the left are not blue colored. The USB 2.0 port on the right can be used a charging port when the laptop is off. Rounding out the ports are an HDMI port, Ethernet RJ-45, a headphone/microphone combo jack, and an SD/MMC card slot. A Kensington MicroSaver lock slot is also included.

The 2x2 a/b/g/n WLAN is provided by Intel and supports wireless display (WiDi) for connecting the laptop to compatible TV's or adapters. Intel Smart Connect Technology can be configured to wake the laptop from sleep periodically and download email, etc. This could be useful if you need to just pick the laptop up and go with all your email already downloaded. Bluetooth 4 and an HD webcam are also included.



                            



The HP comes pre-installed with Windows 8 64-bit. A recovery partition is included to reset the laptop to factory settings. Windows 8 makes this easy via the settings menu.

It is not easy to get inside this laptop. Fourteen Philips screws protect the underside. More await inside. However, once opened up the 6Gb/sec SATA hard drive and 6Gb/sec mSATA cache drive can be replaced, although the cache will need to be disabled first via the included Intel Rapid Storage Technology console. The single memory slot is populated with 4gb RAM, and another 4gb is wired on.

The warranty for the non-customizable model 15-4010nr is standard at 1 year. However, the customizable 15t-4000 (not always available on the HP web site) comes with a 2 year warranty. This model can be customized with Windows 8 Pro, a faster 7200rpm hard drive, or an SSD.

The black keyboard is wide and spacious. Unlike most 15.6" laptops, the HP does not have a numeric keypad which means the keyboard is centered, and combined with the spacious palm rest provides a decent typing experience; although it is no match for the Thinkpad keyboards of old. The arrow keys skimp on the size of the up and down arrows; it would be better if the 4 arrow keys extended below the rest of the keyboard slightly (as in some Lenovo's) to make them easier to find and allow for full size up and down keys. The Windows function keys are tied to brightness, loudness, screen, wireless on/off, etc, which means that you must press the "Fn" key to activate the regular Windows F1 - F12 function keys. This is particularly annoying when having to refresh web pages with Fn-F5. In a nice touch, Alt-F4 works as usual to exit a program (Alt-Fn-F4 would be a bit much). In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga does this better by dedicating the F5 key to refresh and the F4 key to the exit function (particularly important with Windows 8 Metro style apps which often have no other way to force an exit). The caps lock and wireless on/off keys have a small LED to indicate when they are on. The keyboard backlight can be turned on and off by the F5 function key. This key always remains lit itself so it can be found in the dark.

The highly configurable Synaptics touchpad works well and the glass surface is smooth to the touch. It is set in a depression and there is no question when your finger gets to the edge of this trackpad - a good thing. The touchpad can be turned off by tapping at the top left, which illuminates a small LED next to it. This functionality can thankfully be disabled in settings. The pressure required to click the touchpad is a bit too much and doesn't have very good feel; however it is rarely necessary to actually click it as a tap for left click and two-fingered tap for right click are usually sufficient. Selecting text is the main exception, where a click and drag is often required.


               

                   

The display is a bright, glossy 15.6", full HD 1920x1080 IPS touchscreen panel. The IPS designation stands for "In Plane Switching" and indicates that the display has great viewing angles from the top, bottom, and sides. It is a bit on the heavy side, however overall the laptop is not unbalanced. The ability to interact using touch is surprisingly natural in Windows 8; scrolling around web pages and moving/resizing/closing windows works very well. In Metro apps, touch is even better and the familiar two-finger zoom function works great in Internet Explorer, although oddly not in apps such as the news app. The panorama photos in the travel app and the maps app are particularly fun to interact with via touch. If Windows 8 is a success, touch will be an important reason why.

Alas the days of 16:10 aspect ratio displays are gone and this display is no exception at 16:9. While this is great for viewing YouTube, Netflix, etc, it is not great for viewing photos and interacting with lots of on-screen windows, because the vertical space is limited. Landscape photos have large black side borders, and portrait photos are even worse. This is one of the main usability issues of this laptop. It's a shame that manufacturers don't address this, as Apple has done with the MacBook Pro 16:10 displays.

To partially mitigate the lack of vertical real estate, the task bar can be positioned on the right or left side of the display so it doesn't take up space at the bottom. This also makes the task bar easier to interact with via touch, especially when using the "fingers behind the display, thumb in front" technique.

Display brightness is excellent, and can comfortably be used 1 or 2 steps below maximum in most situations. On battery, the brightness can be adjusted through it's full range. Contrast is good, and images and video pop nicely. Color range (gamut) is decent, but does not cover sRGB. Calibration would be required for better accuracy.

The glossy display makes for strong reflections. At certain angles, even the silver palm rest and the keyboard backlighting can cause distracting reflections (luckily the keyboard backlight can be turned off with the F5 key). In direct comparison, the Retina MacBook Pro does a better job of reducing glare.


Performance of the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is very good for an ultrabook, probably due to the 8gb of 1600MHz DDR3 memory and Core i7-3517U cpu. This cpu nominally runs at 1.9 GHz with Turbo Boost to 3 GHz. The Windows Experience Index clocks in at:
Processor 7.1
Memory 7.9
Graphics 5.7
Gaming graphics (1664 MB) 6.4
Primary hard disk 5.9

That's an overall score of 5.7, quite good for not having a dedicated graphics card.


                         

Search For the product below on Amazon!

The SSD disk cache works surprisingly well, and the disk rarely seems to be a performance bottleneck.
Note, these benchmarks were done on an HP customized model (15t-4000) with a 7200 rpm hard drive, not the standard 5400 rpm model (15-4010nr). The 5400 rpm drive should still provide good performance due to the SSD cache.

8GB of the 32GB SSD cache drive is taken to support Intel Rapid Start, which is a kind of fast hibernate which kicks in after two hours of standby. The laptop wakes up and writes the contents of memory to an 8GB partition on the SSD, then shuts down. Pressing the power button brings the laptop back up in about 5 seconds. For some reason the Intel Rapid Start configuration utility is not included in the laptop build, however you can download it by searching for "intel rapid start download".

The Spectre XT TouchSmart is very quiet in casual use. The fan is often turned off. Even when the fan is on, it is usually not very loud, and is never obnoxious. HP Coolsense is included, which senses when the laptop is moving and runs the fan more often to keep your lap cool. In practice, the laptop doesn't get too warm, and Coolsense can be turned off to keep the fan from running as much. The one place that gets a bit warm is the well-placed fan vent on the underside at the rear.

The HP has four small speakers, two underneath on the sides and two behind the keyboard under the display. It can play quite loudly, and produces a bit of a thump on the underside. Audio enhancement is provided by Beats Audio, which boosts bass and treble, while performing all kinds of phase and other manipulations which make the audio sound "wider" and "more dynamic" (read: distorted). Thankfully there is a Beats control panel which can turn Beats off, and which also has a 9 band equalizer to customize the response curve. Dolby V4 on the Lenovo Yoga does a better job than Beats, although the HP still sounds better because it has better speakers. Once configured, the audio is pretty decent for a laptop.

Battery life is provided by a 48wh 4-cell non-removable battery.

In summary, the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is one of the top Windows 8 ultrabooks available as of this writing. HP made almost all the right choices to make this a very nice package. Although pricey compared to other laptops with similar specs, the HP stands out for its responsiveness, stylish looks, and big bright touch-enabled wide-angle HD display. The SSD cache works very well; an SSD main drive is not necessary, although nice to have as a factory option or via the ability of the end user to replace it.

Windows Phone Client for Windows : Specially for Windows 8

Windows Phone Client for Windows

There are two apps available for Windows, one which is available on the Windows Store, while another is developed for the desktop (only available for Windows 7 & 8). The latter is the full synchronisation client for Windows Phone and the former is a mere client to manage content. Should you not be requiring the number of features present in the full desktop version, the client available on the store is a lightweight solution.

As well as the latest version of Windows, the desktop version is also available for Windows 7 but the client is currently in beta and users may encounter some issues. It's good to note that Microsoft doesn't restrict support for the more recent editions of its desktop platform. 

When Microsoft launched Windows 8 earlier this year the company also released a synchronization client shortly afterwards for its new Windows Phone 8 platform. Much like the functionality that was present in the Zune media player, the Windows Phone clients open up a number of doors for consumers who are using Windows 8.

The following features are present in the Windows Store app:

• Check charge status and internal storage report
• Import media from the connected device
• Browse highlighted apps pulled from the Windows Phone Store with links to more

The desktop version of the Windows client sports the following:

• Check charge status and internal storage report
• Manage media stored on the device (music, photos, videos, movies, podcasts and ringtones)
• Synchronise content from iTunes

Synchronising content using the desktop app enables consumers to select and choose desired playlists, genres, artists for music, as well as photos, videos, podcasts and ringtones. It's still a stripped down successor when compared to the Zune media player, but it's a step up from the Windows Store app if you're running Windows 8. Be sure to unlock your Windows Phone (lockscreen PIN) when connecting it to a PC if one is configured.

As well as managing what's synchronised from the PC to the Windows Phone, owners are able to manage directly what is stored on the handset using Windows Explorer. When plugging in a Windows Phone it will appear as removable storage in the Desktop app, and is then ready for browsing. Documents, music, photos, ringtones and videos can all be managed through a familiar interface. 

When launching the Windows Phone client for Windows 8 (or the desktop app) with a Windows Phone plugged in, one will be able to view all current options and features in a familiar view. Content is brought up when the app is loading the Windows Phone and the storage report is viewed by hitting the arrow that's situated next to the total capacity readout.

There's not a lot more to the app, apart from what's listed in the features list. There's no option to check for updates since there's now the functionality to do so on a Windows Phone and updates are to be delivered OTA, but it gets the job done when moving content across from a Windows 8 machine to the smartphone.

You can download the Windows Phone for Windows client from the Windows Store.

cheers :)

Peek Through: Make Any Window Transparent Using A Keyboard Shortcut

If you’re like most people, you’ve thought to yourself every day: “Why can’t I set windows to be transparent in Windows, so I can look through them…like actual windows?”

What? You’ve never thought of that? Weird. Well, anyways, Peek Through is a program that does one thing: allow you to quickly make any window in Windows transparent. If it’s not apparent why being transparent is useful for you, use your imagination to find a situation where the key is peeking through.

Unnecessary, impromptu rhyming out-of-the-way, there are many reasons you might want to make a window in Windows transparent. Maybe you want your media player to feel less in the way, or want to take notes while reading without completely blocking the source material. Maybe you love your wallpaper so much that you want to stare at it as you browse the web, or maybe you just think transparency is occasionally useful for multi-tasking.

Whatever your reason, Peek Through is a simple Windows app that sits in your system tray and quickly makes any window transparent with the use of a custom keyboard shortcut. Here’s how it works.

Using Peek Through

Peek Through is advertised to work with Windows XP, Vista, and 7; I’ve discovered it also works well in Windows 8′s desktop mode. Transparent windows look great.

The software itself lives in your system tray once you launch it, waiting for you to use a keyboard shortcut.

Only when you use that keyboard shortcut, which you can set to be whatever you want, does a given window become transparent. You’ll be able to see whatever is behind a given window – your desktop, other software and even desktop icons.

Use the same keyboard shortcut again and that program will go back to normal. The program stays out of your way unless you need it, which is nice.

You can configure how transparent windows will become, and whether or not transparent windows can be “clicked through” (that is, whether any window that is transparent is ignored by the mouse or not).

Set the program to start when Windows does, assuming you plan on using it regularly. There’s not a lot of configuration outside of that: Peek Through is simple, and any further complication probably wouldn’t add a lot of benefit.

Download Peek Through

Ready to give this program a spin? Download Peek Through now fromLukePayneSoftware.com. As always with free software built by volunteers, consider donating if you like what you’re getting: it will help more software like this exist.
