LG Smartphone Was Most Wanted Gift on Amazon WebsiteLG Smartphone was the most wanted gift. Online retailer, Amazon.com has released a chart of the most popular items purchased by consumers through its website in 2010 LG Smartphone was the most wanted gift on Amazon according to Amazon chart released yesterday LG Smartphone was Most Wanted Gift on Amazon Website.

Online retailer, Amazon.com has released a chart of the most popular items purchased by consumers through its website in 2010, along with the most popular gifts, and most wanted items.

In the mobile phone section, the Samsung Captivate Android Phone (on AT&T) was the most popular item brought by shoppers for their own use.

However, in the section for "most wanted gift", LG's KP500 Cookie smartphone was deemed to be most desirable, yet it was Nokia's N900 smartphone that ended up as the top selling gift. Potentially a lot of people wanted an LG and got a Nokia instead.

The perfect balance of powerful computing and thrilling multimedia, the LG eXpo for AT&T is the first smartphone in North America to use the Qualcomm 1 GHz processor, which offers fast processing speeds for running multiple applications without losing performance. In addition to a responsive touchscreen interface, the eXpo offers a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.

AT&T Services


    High-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network: The dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network provides up to 3.6/7.2 Mbps of download speed, making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

    Additionally, this phone is also compatible with 2100 MHz 3G networks found in international territories. (For use outside the United States, an AT&T international data plan is recommended.) When traveling outside the U.S., you can enjoy wireless voice coverage in more than 215 countries and wireless data coverage in more than 185 countries--as well as access ultra-fast 3G mobile broadband services in more than 100 countries.

    In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.


    The full-featured, premium AT&T Navigator GPS navigation application includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.


    AT&T's Video Share service enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.


    AT&T Mobile Music enables you to buy tracks while on the go, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal.

Getting started with your new iPhone

Getting started with your new iPhoneNew Android phone? Use these simple tips to get up and running with your shiny new deviceWhether you got your iPhone as a gift or finally bought one for yourself, the iPhone can be a fantastic and amazing gadget to carry with you. Getting started with your iPhone is easy to do. Most audio interfaces come with decent preamps and converters, This week, I' ll post my feature of my top five picks from NAMM 2011 and I'd love to Mixing Your Music · Learning Pro Tools · Now is the time to give some love to your favorite gadgets and home entertainment gear by iPhone.



Navigating the iPhone
The large circular button near the bottom of the iPhone is your Home button. No matter what screen or menu you are using on the iPhone, the Home button will bring you back to the main screen.

Getting started with your new iPhone

The button at the top of your iPhone is the On/Off button, which you can tap to put your phone to sleep until you get a call or until you press the Home button. Once that happens, the iPhone instantly wakes up. To power down your phone altogether, press the On/Off button and hold it down for several seconds.

You can page through your apps and options by swiping your finger across the screen. If you press one of the icons on your iPhone, you will activate that option or app.

Getting started with your new iPhoneMeet your new friend: iTunes
If your computer doesn't already have iTunes installed, visit Apple's websiteand download the software. iTunes is the chief control mechanism for communication between your computer and your new iPhone. You use iTunes to determine which music, videos, and pictures are loaded onto your iPhone. Even more importantly, iTunes allows you to back up your important data from your iPhone, just in case something horrible happens.

The first time you plug your iPhone into your computer, iTunes will automatically load and check the software version your phone is using. If a newer version of the iPhone software is available, iTunes will back up your phone, download the update, and install it for you. iTunes will guide you through the setup, letting you do things like name your phone. For example, mine is simply "Michael's iPhone."

Add stuff to your iPhone
Once you've got your iPhone set up to work with iTunes, your device's new name will appear as an option on the left sidebar of iTunes. Select your iPhone by clicking on that sidebar item, which will bring you to the main iPhone window on your computer. From here, you'll be able to determine which apps, ringtones, music, movies, and other data get synced to your iPhone. Since the iPhone's storage space isn't nearly as large as your computer's, you'll have to be somewhat selective.

There are two ways to control what music is loaded to your phone. By clicking Music from the main iPhone menu in iTunes, you'll be able to select options like Playlists and Artists. These options will load all the songs associated with those selections. Second, you can check or uncheck songs under your main iTunes music library.

Syncing other media like movies and TV shows works very similarly. iTunes is a fairly intuitive program, so you shouldn't have much trouble loading media on your phone.

Apps are it
The really cool thing about an iPhone is its ability to run small programs called apps. You can purchase these apps through the App Store either in iTunes or on the iPhone itself. In both places, you can check out the description of the app, the price of the app, and read reviews before you buy it.

Apps are grouped in the App Store according to general categories like Games or Productivity. Don't worry about buying an app by accident; both your phone and iTunes will prompt you for a password before you actually spend any money on an app, making sure you know you're about to make a purchase.

Getting started with your new iPhoneGet to the internet
You can use your iPhone to connect to the internet through its cell phone carrier. However, if you want faster speed and would like to save money on your data plan, you can connect to the internet through the wireless network in your home. The first time your iPhone detects a wireless network, you'll get a pop-up menu guiding you through how to set it up on your iPhone.  If you later decide you'd like to remove a network from your iPhone's history, you can access that option through the Settings menu. 

You will still be able to place calls normally through your 3G connection even while using the internet this way.

Set up your email
The iPhone has an incredibly useful email app already built into it. To set up email on your iPhone, select Settings on your home screen. If you've already added other apps to your iPhone, you may need to scroll around a tad to find it. In the Settings menu, you'll see an option called "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." Choose that option and then select Add Account. Choose what kind of email account you're adding and then enter the username and password for your email account.

Now, when you select the Mail icon at the bottom of your iPhone, you can easily reach your email.

The iPhone is easy to set up and get using. These simple things will make your experience faster right from the start. Enjoy your new phone!

Getting started on Facebook

0 komentar

Getting started on FacebookFacebook isn't just for kids anymore  Facebook is quickly becoming how many people, particularly young adults, communicate with one another. The site allows you to keep friends up to date on what you've been up to, show off pictures you've taken, or invite people to an event, as well as comment on what your friends are saying and doing too. Originally developed as a way for college students to communicate with classmates, Facebook later opened to the public. Once it did, adults flocked to the site not only to keep up with their current friends, but also to reconnect with friends and classmates from years past.

Getting started using Facebook is simple to do.

Getting started on Facebook 
Quick, easy registration
The first step in using Facebook is registering for an account. You'll find a link to create a new account on theFacebook home page (www.facebook.com). Fill out the required fields with your name and email address in order to get started. If you want your friends and family to be able to find you on the site, it is probably in your best interest to use your real name and primary email address when signing up.

Class photo time

You'll definitely want to upload a photo to use as your Facebook profile picture. This picture will show up on your profile page and be visible when people search for you. If you have a common name such as Bob Smith, your profile picture can help people figure out whether or not you're the Bob Smith they're looking for. 

During the profile setup process, you'll be given the option to upload a picture. After your profile is created, you can upload more profile pictures, as well as pictures of your vacations, pets, or anything else by clicking the Photos tab on your profile page and then selecting Create a Photo Album. 

Make new friends
Facebook is almost entirely pointless if you don't have any friends on the site. "Friending" someone on Facebook acknowledges that you know that person and are willing to share some of your life with them. The status updates for those you friend on Facebook will show up in your News Feed; those people will be able to see your status updates and things you upload, just as you will be able to see theirs. 

Obviously, you don't want to friend people you don't want knowing anything about you. If there is a group of folks for whom you'd prefer to limit or restrict access to what you've got on the site, set that up in the privacy settings. We'll talk about that a little later on.

Getting started on FacebookStatus symbol
A status update is a way of letting your friends know what you're up to or what you're thinking about. Typically around a sentence long, a status update can be something as simple as "Wow, it's cold outside today!" or something longer such as "Planning a trip to the Bahamas this summer, does anyone have any travel suggestions?" You can say or ask anything in your status update, and it will show up in your friends' News Feeds for them to respond to.

Keep up on the news
When you log in to Facebook, you will be instantly taken to a News Feed page listing all of the latest updates by your friends. If you see something you'd like to respond to, you can click the blue Comment below their update in order to respond to their post. That comment will then show up below your friend's post, allowing the folks who see the original post to see your reply. 

If you want to check up on a specific friend, click on their name in your News Feed to go to their profile page, or type their name in the search box at the top of the screen to pull up their profile and see only their updates.

Be Like-able
One thing that happens a lot on Facebook is "Liking" something. Liking is similar to expressing verbal approval (or giving a high five, a thumbs-up, or laughing at someone's joke). You're letting that person know that you enjoyed (or agreed with) what they shared that particular post with you. 

To Like a post, simply click the blue Like below it. This will display a thumbs-up icon below the update with your name, as well as that of anyone else who has also Liked it. You can also Like certain pages or things on Facebook, letting others know what some of your interests are. For instance, you might Like bacon, the Rolling Stones, or even us!

Private lives
Depending who you friend on Facebook, you may or may not want to let everyone see everything that you post on the site. Clicking the Account button on the top right of the screen and then selecting Privacy Settings from the options will take you to a page where you can customize what information people are able to see about you. At the very least, you may want to restrict some things (such as your pictures) so that only your friends can see them. Privacy settings can be adjusted for large groups of people or even for just single person. For instance, if you don't want your children to see pictures from your trip to the Bahamas, you can block them from being able to do so. 

This article by the Electronic Frontier Foundation provides a lot of great information about Facebook's privacy settings and how to set them up.

These are some of the basics to get you started using Facebook. Once you get some friends and start using it, you'll quickly discover more site features such as games, videos, and questions! We'll talk about these in a later article — but in the meantime, try not to get too addicted.

Getting started with your iPad

Setting up
The first thing to do is connect your iPad to a computer using the included USB cable. iTunes will automatically launch on your computer and lead you though the process of registering and setting up your iPad. If you don't have iTunes already installed on your computer, download it for free from Apple's website.

Getting started with your iPadFill 'er up!
Once your iPad is set up, it will show up as an option on the left menu bar of iTunes. Click on the icon for your iPad to bring up a full-screen window, allowing you to customize what is stored on it. Each tab in the center of the iTunes window will control some aspect of what is stored on your iPad. Click the Music tab to customize what music you transfer to your iPad, or click the Movies tab to determine which videos you want to carry along with you. 

The App tab not only allows you to select what apps from your computer you sync to your iPad, but it also allows you to drag and drop those apps where you would like them on your iPad's screen to keep them organized. 

Buying apps
In order to purchase applications from the app store, you will need to have an iTunes account, something you will be prompted to set up during the iTunes installation process. To purchase and download apps, click the iTunes Store option in the left side menu of iTunes, or the App Store icon on your iPad, and search for applications you want to own. Once you find an application you would like, tap the price of the app to turn that price into a download button, and then tap that button in order to begin the download process.

Get connected
A huge part of the functionality of the iPad is surfing the web. In order to get on the web, however, you'll first have to set up a connection. To do this, tap on the Settings button on the home screen of your iPad to bring up the Settings menu. 

Wifi Tap the Wi-Fi option in the Settings menu and slide the bar a the top of the window to On in order to power on the wifi on your iPad. Your iPad will list all of the wireless networks in range of the device. Tap the wireless network you would like to connect to from the list of options that appear, and enter the password (if needed) in order to connect.

3G Connecting to the web via 3G is a little more tricky than wifi and requires you set up an account with AT&T. Select the Cellular Network option from the Settings menu, followed by View Account to begin the setup process. Fill in the required fields and select a data plan from the two options available. 

If you plan on only using your iPad to occasionally check email, then the 250MB option may be fine for you. If you plan on using your iPad as your primary computer or doing a decent amount of web surfing, then you should probably select the 2GB plan. Enter your payment method (you'll need a credit card) and agree to the terms and conditions in order to complete the setup process.

Set up your email
To set up email on your iPad, tap the Settings button on the home screen followed by Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then Add Account. Enter in the username and password for your email account in order to link it with your iPad. Once linked, you can tap the mail icon at the bottom of your iPad home screen in order to check your email.

All that should get you started using your new iPad. Want to get more out of your iPad? Check out our iPad Apps of the Week column for suggestions on great apps to download!

Getting started and master Netflix for Wii

0 komentar

Getting started with your Xbox 360How to stream movies and TV from your Nintendo console Gaming consoles have come quite a way in recent years in terms of adding functionality above and beyond simply playing amazing video games. The Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 have all added tools and programs to further the user's experience and create an added value. One example of this kind of functionality is using Netflix to watch instant streaming movies and episodes of television series right on your TV without the need for any additional hardware aside from the game console. All three consoles have Neflix functionality at this point, but we'll focus on getting Netflix streaming content working on the Wii console.

Getting started and master Netflix for Wii

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiNetflix is one of the most popular media rental services on the planet, so there's already a pretty good chance that you have a Neflix account. However, if you don't, the first thing you'll need to do is create one. There are several levels of service subscriptions that Netflix offers, but the bare-bones, $8.99/month subscription is really all you need to watch all the streaming content you want. You can set up an account online in a matter of minutes, and once your account is active you can begin watching streaming content right on your computer. However, to watch your Netflix content for free on your Wii you'll need to complete a couple more steps.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiSince you're already online with your Netflix account, simply navigate your address bar to www.Netflix.com/wii. From here you'll be able to order a free Wii Netflix disc with just a few clicks of your mouse. After completing this step you'll be able to relax for a few days while you await your disc to come in the mail. This is a great time to start building a list of content you plan on watching using the Instant Queue tool provided by Netflix. After logging into your Netflix account you can begin browsing instant streaming content using the Instant tab near the top of the screen. All of the content in this category is available to watch immediately. Unfortunately, not all of the content on the entirety of Netflix is available in instant streaming form, but you'll find that the majority of high-demand and popular content is. Once you find a movie or show you want to save to your queue, simply move your mouse over the "Watch" button and another small button will pop up above it saying "Add to Instant Queue". Click this, and your program is now saved to your Instant Queue until you decide to delete it later. After spending a good amount of time building your perfect Netflix library,it should be just about time for your disc to arrive in the mail.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiPlace the Netflix Wii disc inside your Wii console and boot it up. Click the Netflix icon that now appears in your Disc Channel and wait a moment. From here you'll receive an activation code that will allow your Wii console to work hand-in-hand with the Netflix streaming service. Log in to your Netflix account using your computer and again navigate to netflix.com/wii. Here you'll be prompted to enter your activation code. Enter it and press the "Activate" button. After this your Wii will be authorized to work with Netflix.

Getting started and master Netflix for WiiAlmost immediately your Netflix Instant Queue should pop up on your screen, showing all of the content you've chosen using the computer-based tools you used earlier. You'll also be presented with several huge playlists of content based on different categories like Comedy, Horror and Drama, regardless of whether or not you have built your own Instant Queue, so you'll have plenty of stellar content to watch no matter what. However, if you took the time to build an Instant Queue, or chose to at any time in the future, your Wii will then suggest other content to you based on things you've watched from your queue. This is a fantastic feature that really pushes fantastic content to you that you may have otherwise missed. As of the time of this writing, there is no search feature included with the Wii version of Netflix. This means that whenever you want to search for any specific movie or television program you'll need to log on to your Netflix account using a computer. We can only hope that a full content browser is added at some point in the future, but as of right now the tools in place do a good job of allowing you to find content perfect for you, even if it takes just a little digging.

So there you have it; a fantastic and simple way to watch streaming Netflix content right on your TV, without the need for any hardware besides that little white Nintendo box you have anyway. If you have an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3, the process is a bit different, and we'll have guides on how to use Netflix for those two consoles shortly as well so be sure to check back!

must have gadgets for the geek family10It’s been a kid weekend, for me. Top 10 Must Have Gadgets For 2011: Earphone, TV And More While I don’t normally focus on family-friendly tech, the events of this weekend (movies and family time and Internet, oh my!) have made me realize that there are 5 things that are indispensable tools that every family should have. That said, I’m sure you have your own, but here’s my list:

Netflix

must have gadgets for the geek familyphoto © 2008 Jamie McCall |  more info(via: Wylio)Oh sure, you can call it an app. But really, Netflix has turned into much more than just an app, for us. The greatest part about Netflix is in its portability. I love the fact that I can take a netbook in the car and stream shows for the kids to watch via a lowly 3G connection.

What becomes the quandary, at least for us, is deciding how we watch the content that we watch on Netflix. Do we invest in a Roku box? Maybe an Xbox 360? Or the Apple TV could be a great choice. As of yet, we’ve not settled onto any one device, so we’re typically watching via the MacBook Pro or some other computer in the house. We’ll make our decision soon, but not just yet. We just know that it’s $9 per month well spent.

Netbooks

must have gadgets for the geek familyphoto © 2010 Intel Free Press |  more info(via: Wylio)Yes, netbooks are family tools for us. My son, aged 8, is at the point where he’s gotten really curious about what he sees dad doing all the time. My daughter, though not quite as interested, has quite the fondness for Disney games. Right now, our on-loan HP Mini 210 is their best friend.

The joy of netbooks for the kids is in all of the things that we tech types tend to find annoying. They’re simple, they’re cheap (for the most part) and they’re small. In other words, they’re perfect for kid hands and to help them learn how to properly use a computer. Mix a netbook with a locked down copy of Windows 7 and you’re about as safe as any computer can get.

must have gadgets for the geek familyphoto © 2010 Yu Morita |  more info(via: Wylio)Our personal camera of choice right now is the Kodak Playtouch. It takes perfectly acceptable pictures in bright light, and does amazing 1080p video just about anywhere you could want. The on-screen controls are simple enough for the kids to use and most flip-style cameras are built like a tank. They really can take a fair amount of abuse without falling victim to tragedy.

For as long as I can remember, my kids have wanted to take pictures. Instead of handing over my fairly expensive Canon to their munchkin hands, I toss them the Playtouch and let them go crazy with it. While I typically end up with fifty pictures and a few minutes of video of my dog walking across the room, they still have a great time when we hook up the HDMI to the TV and look back at their “work”.

Good MP3 Players

Maybe this seems like a cop-out, but it’s really not. The fact of it is that music does indeed soothe the cranky 6 year old just as much as it does the savage beast. Now sure, you could go buy the cheapest mp3 player on the market, but you’re going to get what you pay for.

Investing a few dollars in to a simple, but well-built (the iPod Shuffle and Samsung’s Galaxy Player come to mind) mp3 player will serve you well for years to come. Not only are they rigid enough to handle the bumps that will inevitably come, they also have controls such as volume limiting that really are important when you’re placing speakers only a few millimeters away from your kids’ ear drums.

eBook Readers

Not only for entertainment, but also because it helps them find interest in reading. When they have to read to understand what’s going on in a game, that’s a big bonus in my perspective. Once they’re ready, step them up to an e-reader of some sort. There is a huge selection of them on the market, and some of them are incredibly cheap. The newest Kindle, for instance, or maybe the previous generation of the Nook.

Load them up with kids books. There are loads of them available for purchase, and even more available for free across the Internet. Just do yourself a favor and watch what they are reading. Just because they’ve taken an interest doesn’t mean that it’s all fair play.

The iPod media players were invented by Apple on 2011. The varieties of the models support the multiple options that are included in order for the customers to make the choice. The iPod models that get the most response are:-

• iPod Classic- based on the hard drive
• iPod Touch- the touch screen
• iPod Nano- video enabled
• iPod Shuffle- the compact one

So that’s my list. What’s on yours? Anything that your family simply can’t do without? Let me know in the comments. I’ll be here, watching movies and reading what you say.
